PART I

Item 1. Business

Item 1.

Business.

OverviewInspirato Incorporated and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”, “Inspirato”, “we”, or “our”) is a subscription-based luxury travel company that provides exclusive access to a managed and controlled portfolio of curated vacation options, delivered through an innovative model designed to ensure the service, certainty and value that discerning customers demand. The Inspirato portfolio includes branded luxury vacation homes, accommodations at five-star hotel and resort partners and custom travel experiences.

For travelers, we offer access to a diverse portfolio of vacation options that includes approximately 450 private luxury vacation homes available to our customers, and accommodations at over 250 luxury hotel and resort partners in over 180 destinations around the world as of December 31, 2023. Our portfolio also includes Inspirato Only experiences, featuring one-of-a-kind luxury safaris, cruises and other experiences with Inspirato-only member lists along with Bespoke trips, which offer custom-designed “bucket list” itineraries. Every Inspirato trip comes with our personalized service envelope — including pre-trip planning, on-site concierge and daily housekeeping — designed to meet the needs of discerning travelers and drive exceptional customer satisfaction.

Our portfolio of luxury vacation options is accessed through our subscription platform in which we currently offer two paid subscription models for members to choose from, Inspirato Club and Inspirato Pass. Additionally, our luxury vacation options can also be accessed through our two newer product offerings: Inspirato for Good (“IFG”) and Inspirato for Business (“IFB”), which allow customer trial membership through nonprofit or business to business sales channels. See the ‘Our Luxury Travel Subscriptions and Other Offerings’ section below for additional information on each product offering.

In addition to offering a better way to travel, Inspirato also solves critical pain points for hospitality suppliers, including luxury vacation homeowners seeking to monetize their property with rental income. For example, Inspirato provides an opaque distribution channel through which luxury hotels, resorts, and vacation homeowners can generate revenue from their unoccupied hotel rooms and suites or vacation rentals without undercutting rates on their own. We are a newly organized blank check company formedalso have arrangements with hotels and resort partners to lease rooms under the laws of the State oflong-term agreements, providing them with fixed income for inventory versus uncertain occupancy-based income. For luxury vacation homeowners we offer fixed monthly lease payment, expert property management services, and flexible usage benefits in exchange for leasing their home to us for inclusion within our portfolio.

Corporate History and Background

Inspirato was incorporated in Delaware on July 31, 2020 as Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation (“Thayer”), a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses,operating businesses. Inspirato LLC entered into the Business Combination Agreement dated June 30, 2021 and as amended September 15, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) to become a publicly traded company through a business combination with Thayer. On February 11, 2022, Thayer and Inspirato LLC consummated the transaction contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement whereby, among other transactions, a subsidiary of Thayer merged with and into Inspirato LLC with Inspirato LLC as the surviving company (the “Business Combination”), resulting in Inspirato LLC becoming a subsidiary of Thayer. Thayer changed its name to “Inspirato Incorporated” upon closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”).

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby Inspirato LLC acquired Thayer for accounting purposes. As such, the Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein represent the operating results, assets and liabilities of Inspirato LLC before, and Inspirato Incorporated and its subsidiaries including Inspirato LLC after, the Closing. See Note 3 – Reverse Recapitalization in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Launched in 2011, Inspirato Club members pay an enrollment fee and monthly, semi-annual, annual, or multi-year subscription fees for access to our portfolio of branded Inspirato luxury vacation homes, luxury hotels, and five-star resort partners, Inspirato Only experiences and custom Bespoke itineraries. In addition to their monthly or annual subscription, members pay members-only nightly rates to book the trips of their choice. Inspirato Club members can book vacations up to one year in advance. Every Club trip includes personalized service, including pre-trip planning, on-site concierge, and daily housekeeping. We manage these rates to achieve occupancy and average daily rate goals while also delivering value to drive member satisfaction.

Inspirato Pass

Launched in 2019, Inspirato Pass members pay an enrollment fee and a monthly, semi-annual, annual, or multi-year subscription that is inclusive of nightly rates, taxes and fees for Pass trips. Inspirato Pass members book pass trips from the Inspirato Pass trip list, which we referis a constantly updated selection that includes vacations at Inspirato residences and hotel partners. Inspirato Pass members have full access to as our initial business combination. We have generated no operating revenues to date and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until we consummate our initial business combination.

While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we are focused on businesses in industries that complement our management team’s background, and we intend to capitalize onall the benefits of Inspirato Club, including the ability to pay members-only nightly rates to book trips of their choice, access to our management teambooking promotions, and personalized service on every trip.

Our Loyalty Program

In August of 2023, we launched Inspirato Rewards (“Rewards”), our member loyalty program that supports our diverse portfolio of curated luxury vacation options for members with at least one active paid member subscription (“Subscription”). Rewards is designed to identifyincentivize repeat business by rewarding members with exclusive discounts and acquire a business, focusingbenefits based on the travel and transportation industries where our management has extensive investment experience.

Industry Opportunity

We are concentrating on sourcing business combination opportunities within travel and transportation technology. Our sector coverage is focused, yet covers a broad array of market segments. Historically, “travel and transportation” was defined and delineated by the primary areas of supply, including air, hotels, rail, cruise, and car rental. Each of these were served by a range of technology and service providers and consumers. In recent years, the sources of travel supply have expanded to include additional segments such as vacation rentals, alternative lodging, tours and attractions, vehicle sharing, ride hailing, and micro-mobility among others; and technology and business model innovation has given rise to many companies serving existing and emerging areas. These include, among others:

Enterprise software companies selling to travel suppliers—enabling them to run their back-office and front-office operations and market to customers;

Online marketplaces for distribution of supply to travel agents and consumers;

Metasearch/price comparison platforms;

Marketing, retargeting and visitor conversion technologies;

Supplier-focused data, analytics, and dynamic pricing providers;

Corporate travel platformsactivity with greater automation and integration;

Artificial intelligence-driven suppliers to travel or transportation providers;

Alternative lodging platforms;

Micro-mobility services serving cities and their citizens; and

Various other technology-enabled services that are part of what we call “intelligent transportation”—some of which include Electric and Autonomous Vehicles, Hyperloop, Last Mile Robotics, and Smart Road technology.

The travel and transportation market itself contributed $8.9 trillion to global GDP in 2019 according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. As a global whole, the industry represents 10% of GDP and isus. Members who earn one of the largest industry-level employers, accountingthree Rewards statuses may earn, depending on their status, extra savings on Club bookings, early access to new property releases, new Experiences and year-end festive dates and complementary nights, among other benefits.

Inspirato for Business

Launched in 2022, Inspirato for Business is a business-to-business channel through which we sell subscription and travel products directly to businesses seeking to leverage luxury accommodations to recruit, retain, and reward their employees.

Our Value Proposition

We provide exceptional vacations with outstanding value for luxury travelers (who drive demand) and attractive economics and certainty for hospitality suppliers including hotels, resorts and luxury vacation rental property owners (who we work with to provide supply).

Our subscription offerings are intended to solve travel pain points by offering the following benefits:

Certainty of accommodations. All Inspirato subscriptions provide exclusive access to a portfolio of properties that we directly manage to our high standards. For example, when we onboard luxury vacation homes into our portfolio, we typically outfit them with premium linens, kitchenware, technology, and other amenities and then refresh them at regular intervals to ensure they meet our standards. In addition, after each member checks out from a stay, we perform a detailed walkthrough to ensure it is ready for the next arrival, thus ensuring a consistent quality experience for our members.

High-quality personalized service. Inspirato is a hospitality company with an expert team of dedicated professionals that offer personalized service comparable to the top-tier hotel and resort brands. Every Inspirato trip includes pre-trip itinerary planning, on-site concierge service, and daily housekeeping. Additionally, our on-site staff are available to our members to assist with their needs during their stay, to ensure we provide the level of service and assurance that discerning travelers expect.
Confidence with regard to value. We believe our favorable lease agreements and partnerships with hospitality suppliers enable us to offer reduced rates versus comparable luxury vacation alternatives, while saving our members from the hassle of scouring travel websites to confirm whether they have found the best rate or value for their stay.
Simple, transparent fee structure. Inspirato Pass members pay a monthly subscription fee in exchange for their Pass travel and are not subject to per-trip taxes, resort fees, and other add-on charges imposed by certain hotels. This provides them with predictability and certainty regarding their travel costs and spares them the frustration of encountering unclear or undisclosed fees. Inspirato Club members are charged a flat rate for taxes and fees for trips purchased a la carte.

Inventory Management and Expansion

Overall Approach

We choose destinations, accommodations, and experiences based on market trends, booking results, member feedback, and other factors to align our additions with demand.
We only seek to partner with hotels and resorts that align well with the Inspirato luxury hospitality brand and offer service commensurate with our own, to ensure that every trip booked through our platform meets or exceeds our members’ expectations.

Managing our Residences

Since our founding over a decade ago, we have developed a highly flexible, asset-light approach to controlling and managing our residences. We lease our homes, paying the owners fixed rental income, rather than buying them. Our leases typically permit us to terminate with 180 days to one years notice, giving us the ability to remove underperforming residences as well as curate the portfolio in response to market opportunities and travel demand trends.

In addition to traditional leases, we also use other flexible arrangements to secure less than 10% of our residences. These include net rate and profit-sharing agreements whereby we pay the property owner based on occupancy and costs instead of fixed monthly payments.

Competitive Strengths

As an innovator within the luxury travel subscription market, we believe digital transformation will continuewe have built significant barriers to evolveentry for competitors with an array of differentiated strengths.

Managed and Controlled Residential Inventory. As of December 31, 2023, our selection of Inspirato residences included approximately 450 private luxury vacation homes. These residences include leased properties where we directly manage, maintain, and operate the asset, as well as resort-based properties where we work closely with resort partners to ensure an exceptional member experience. By managing and controlling these assets directly, including staffing them with Inspirato team members, we are able to deliver a consistent experience comparable to top luxury hospitality resort brands, versus a “vacation roulette” experience that is dependent on the expertise and attention of the individual homeowner or a local property management company.
Rate and Calendar Control. We manage nightly rates and calendar availability for our residences and leased hotel inventory. This allows us to revenue-manage each inventory unit to (i) help maximize occupancy by ensuring our rates are competitive with comparable accommodations in the applicable market, (ii) help reduce spoilage, and (iii) leverage availability to increase member engagement and retention.

7

Control Over Bookings and Property Management. We control the booking calendar for our Inspirato residences, giving us visibility into actionable metrics such as how often and what times of year homes are typically used. This provides us greater control over proactive property management planning and coordinating repairs and upgrades. For example, we are able to more precisely plan renovations and other significant activities such as painting, flooring, and furniture updates compared to companies that don’t control the calendars for their properties.
Flexible Cost Structure. Our leases and other inventory agreements, as well as our overall strategic property mix, provide us with flexibility to respond to changes in travel demand and events beyond our control. Our individual leased vacation homes, as well as our leased inventory from hotel and resort partners oftentimes include flexible termination provisions. Together, these approaches enable us to tailor our overall inventory cost structure to meet changing demand.
Expert Sales and Service Teams. We maintain an expert sales and service organization, including sales professionals to welcome new members, relationship-driven member success teams to create the overall Inspirato experience, and vacation experience teams, which includes our planners and on-site concierge teams, to deliver memorable vacations. Each of these teams undergoes regular training to enrich their expertise as luxury hospitality professionals and ambassadors of the Inspirato brand. We believe the high-quality personal service they deliver through connections with our members is a key differentiator separating Inspirato from other hospitality companies.
Predictable Subscription Revenue. Our member base provides predictable, consistent cash flow and stability relative to many traditional hospitality and revenue models. Subscription fees generate recurring revenue. Incentives for upfront prepayment of monthly subscription fees, typically in the form of a waived enrollment fee, travel perks or a free trip, ensure that new members remain paid-members for a minimum period of time, and enhance retention.
Multiple Member Journeys. Inspirato trips can only be booked through our website, iOS application, or member success teams. They cannot be booked through online travel agencies or other third-party channels. In addition, our member success teams and vacation experience teams, which include our on-site concierge staff, assist with trip planning, which is a service many hotel companies do not offer. As a result, we closely engage with our members throughout the entire process for every trip they take e.g., selection to booking, planning, trip duration, checkout and post-trip feedback. We also engage with them through a parallel renewal journey, pro-actively marketing booking promotions, member benefits, upgrade opportunities, and other aspects of our value proposition to maximize their membership value and retention. We believe our deep involvement in these processes gives us greater influence and impact over their member experience than luxury hospitality companies that do not utilize our service approach or a subscription platform.
Trusted Luxury Brand, Proprietary Database. Since 2011, we have made significant investments to build a one-of-a-kind luxury hospitality brand anchored by an innovative subscription platform. At the same time, we have used data-driven marketing to build a proprietary database of affluent individuals who have demonstrated interest in Inspirato.

transportation ecosystem. Historical examples of this manifestation include the rise of online direct bookings, online travel agencies, (OTAs), and metasearch providers in the early 2000’s, the transformative effect of ride-hailing in the 2010s, the mass market adoption of alternative lodging starting in 2016, and the introduction of micro-mobility services in cities in the last two years.needs. We believe that this technology evolution is still in its early-growth phase andalgorithm will create a compelling investment opportunity for a sector-focused acquirer with deep relationships across the entire industry.

The formation and growth of new businesses in travel and transportation technology has been driven not just by industry factors but also by early-stage funding into the sector. As a firm, Thayer Ventures alone has reviewed over 500 deals a year for the past decade across verticals and stages, directly and tangentially providing valueenable us to the travel and transportation sector. As the industries we follow, both new and old, have been disrupted or digitized we have seen the winners and losers materialize. Under our normal course of business it is imperative that we maintain active relationships with the firms establishing a defensible position in our space. As such, we maintain active conversations with over 100 growth stage companies currently positioning to be leaders in tomorrow’s market. These companies have generally benefitted from secular growth and adoption of their innovations, but the vast majority remain independent and have not experienced outright exit events. We believe there is a “supply-demand imbalance” that presents an opportunity for a capital provider and acquirerefficiently manage trips with scale to purchase, integrate and grow an attractive businessoptimize profitability of the inventory.

Human Capital

Our People and Culture

Inspirato’s culture is embodied by a returnour core values: Care, Collaboration, Courage and Curiosity. By staying true to prior levels of demand. There are businesses in our target markets that have thrived during the COVID-19 crisis, and other businesses in our target markets with fundamentally sound value propositions that can both withstand the current environment and benefit from any rebound in activity in future periods. Therefore, as the travel market rebounds, we believe the next two years will be an opportune time to invest in and own a well-positioned business in our target markets. Furthermore, the changing travel preferences, increasing focus around safety, and enhanced duty of care requirements for corporations due to COVID-19 will drive further shifts and innovations in our target markets.

Consistent with our strategy,these values, we have identified the following general criteriacreated a company where talented people can do great work and guidelines thatdrive value for all of our stakeholders. These values guide us in everything we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses. We will focus on these criteria and guidelines in evaluating acquisition opportunities, but we may decidedo, from individual everyday tasks to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet these criteria and guidelines.

These could include proprietary technology, a market leading product suite, unique processes, strong market share, orhigh-level strategic planning. They foster a culture of innovationdialogue, collaboration, recognition, achievement, and sense of community that contributes to our long-term success.

We engage and empower our team with ongoing career and learning and development opportunities. Fostering a growth mindset facilitates a culture where all voices are heard and team members can take informed risks, make mistakes, ask questions, and seek creative solutions to challenges and opportunities. This approach helps us build a strong bench of leaders for tomorrow’s business challenges. Continued growth and success will depend on the performance of our current and future employees, including certain key employees. Recruitment and retention of these individuals is vital to growing our business and meeting our business plans. We espouse the principle that all Inspirato team members can bring their whole authentic selves to work each day and thrive.

As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 630 team members globally. These employees are highly concentrated in Operations and Sales and Marketing. Our focus on member-facing employees helps us to provide luxury service to our members that we believe is enduringindustry-leading.

Acquisition Strategy

We believe our management team is uniquely positioned within the travel and transportation sectors to identify opportunities in travel and transportation, for the reasons detailed below:

Deep Domain Expertise and Relationships in Travel and Transportation Industries

Our management team, and advisors, have extensive entrepreneurial, operating and investing experience in the travel and transportation industries with a corresponding broad network of relationships from early-stage innovators up to the large global companies. Thayer Ventures has been a dedicated travel and transportation technology fund, successfully investing in private companies through three fund generations. In its ten years of investing, the fund has evaluated thousands of companies and invested in about 40. Through this investing activity, the management team has built deep domain expertise throughout the ecosystem and has developed a long-term view on cycles in the industry and sustainable trends. Thayer Ventures also had a strong focus on value-added investing, playing a very active role utilizing its network to help portfolio companies in sales and business development, building executive teams, and in financing and mergers and acquisitions.

Accomplished Leadership Team with Track Record as Value-added Investors and Business Managers

Our team has over 50 years of combined investing, financial and operating experience. In addition to our experience running Thayer Ventures for over ten years, our team has experience starting and running businesses and as board members. Chris Hemmeter successfully launched and ran six companies prior to raising Thayer Ventures, and Mark E. Farrell brings experience as a lawyer, investment banker and in public service prior to Thayer. The two have collectively sat on multiple corporate boards and Mr. Farrell is presently a director of another SPAC. This collective experience makes the management team well positioned not only to identify opportunities but also efficiently and effectively structure, finance and consummate an initial business combination.

History of Successfully Sourcing Investment Opportunities as a Team and Extended Network

Mr. Farrell and Mr. Hemmeter, our founders, have been working together closely as partners through three successive funds and have a successful model of collaboration in finding, evaluating and completing investments that has been endorsed by over 100 limited partners in its funds. The two have the ability and commitment to continue this partnership with Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation. The management team also benefits from close and committed contributions from a network of industry advisors, many of whom have been investors in its funds. These include executives and investors who bring extensive experience across lodging, gaming, airline, foodservice, travel, publishing, and data and information services industries. The team expects this network to continue to help in identifying opportunities and also provide connection points for the team to help in business development with any business that becomes its first business combination.

Established Thesis and Deep Database of Prospective Opportunities that Are Believed to be Actionable

The management team has refined its thesis for Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corporation through internal analysis and discussions as well through input and validation from executivesholidays and other thought leadersevents. Holidays and other events generally increase the rates we charge for travel which results in the industry.higher gross margin. The team has also developed a deep database of target acquisition opportunities, from among established, growing private companies as well as potential carve outs from larger businesses. This database is being enhanced on a daily basis through various sources, including through the efforts of our management team’s outreach to the industry.

Initial Business Combination

Nasdaq rules and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation require that we complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of signing the agreement to enter into the initial business combination. We refer to this as the 80% of the fair market value test. Our board of directors will make the determination as to the fair market value of our initial business combination. The fair market value of the target or targets will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). Even though our board of directors will rely on generally accepted standards, our board of directors will have discretion to select the standards employed. In addition, the application of the standards generally involves a substantial degree of judgment. Accordingly, investors will be relying on the business judgment of the board of directors in evaluating the fair market value of the target or targets. The proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents used by us in connection with any proposed transaction will provide public stockholders with our analysis of our satisfaction of the 80% of fair market value test, as well as the basis for our determinations. If our board of directors is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, or we are considering an initial business combination with an affiliated entity, we will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of the 80% of fair market value test.

Index to Financial Statements

We anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public stockholders own shares will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the prior owners of the target business, the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1990, as amended. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our stockholders prior to the initial business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the initial business combination. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businessescosts are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of fair market value test. If the initial business combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of fair market value test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses and we will treat the target businesses together as the initial business combination for purposes of a tender offer or for seeking stockholder approval, as applicable.relatively fixed across quarters.

Other ConsiderationsIntellectual Property

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination or subsequent transaction with a company that is affiliated with Thayer Ventures or our sponsor, founders, officers, or directors. We refer to such an initial business combination or subsequent transaction as an Affiliated Joint Acquisition. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with Thayer Ventures, our sponsor or any of our founders, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such initial business combination or transaction is fair to our company from a financial point of view.

Affiliates of Thayer Ventures and members of our board of directors directly or indirectly own founder shares and private placement warrants and, accordingly, may have a conflict of interestOur success depends in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. Further, each of our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers or directors were to be included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

Thayer Ventures may manage multiple investment vehicles and raise additional funds and/or successor funds in the future, which may be during the period in which we are seeking our initial business combination. These Thayer Ventures investment entities may be seeking acquisition opportunities and related financing at any time. We may compete with any one or more of them on any given acquisition opportunity.

In addition, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination. However, we do not believe that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or to complete our initial business combination.

Index to Financial Statements

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations to present the opportunity to such entity, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such opportunity to such entity. In addition, we may, at our option, pursue an Affiliated Joint Acquisition opportunity with an entity to which an officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by making a specified future issuance to any such entity. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.

In addition, our founders, officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. Moreover, our founders, officers and directors have, and will have in the future, time and attention requirements for current and future investment funds, accounts, co-investment vehicles and other entities managed by Thayer Ventures. To the extent any conflict of interest arises between, on the one hand, us and, on the other hand, investments funds, accounts, co-investment vehicles and other entities managed by Thayer Ventures (including, without limitation, arising as a result of certain of our founders, officers and directors being required to offer acquisition opportunities to such investment funds, accounts, co-investment vehicles and other entities), Thayer Ventures and its affiliates will resolve such conflicts of interest in their sole discretion in accordance with their then existing fiduciary, contractual, and other duties, and there can be no assurance that such conflict of interest will be resolved in our favor.

Status as a Public Company

We believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to target businesses. As an existing public company, we offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering through a merger or other business combination with us. In a business combination transaction with us, the owners of the target business may, for example, exchange their shares of stock in the target business for our shares of Class A common stock (or shares of a new holding company) or for a combination of our shares of Class A common stock and cash, allowing us to tailor the consideration to the specific needs of the sellers. We believe target businesses will find this method a more expeditious and cost effective method to become a public company than the typical initial public offering. The typical initial public offering process takes a significantly longer period of time than the typical business combination transaction process, and there are significant expenses in the initial public offering process, including underwriting discounts and commissions, that may not be present to the same extent in connection with a business combination with us.

Furthermore, once a proposed business combination is completed, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions, which could prevent the offering from occurring. Once public, we believe the target business would then have greater access to capital, an additional means of providing management incentives consistent with stockholders’ interests and the ability to use its shares as currency for acquisitions. Being a public company can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented employees.

While we believe that our structure and our management team’s backgrounds will make us an attractive business partner, some potential target businesses may view our status as a blank check company, such as our

Index to Financial Statements

lack of an operating history and our ability to seek stockholder approval of any proposed initial business combination, negatively.

Financial Position

With funds available for a business combination initially of $176.0 million, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.

Effecting Our Initial Business Combination

General

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations for an indefinite period of time. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our IPO, the private placements of the private placement warrants, our equity, debt or a combination of these as the consideration to be paid in our initial business combination. We may seek to complete our initial business combination with a company or business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth, which would subject us to the numerous risks inherent in such companies and businesses.

If our initial business combination is paid for using equity or debt securities, or not all of the funds released from the trust account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination or used for redemptions of our shares of Class A common stock, we may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the trust account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the post-transaction company, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our initial business combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital.

We may need to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in our trust account, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. There are no prohibitionspart on our ability to issue securities or incur debt in connection withobtain, maintain, protect, defend, and enforce our initial business combination.intellectual property. We are not currentlyrely on a party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising any additional funds through the salecombination of securities, the incurrence of debt or otherwise.

Sources of Target Businesses

Certain members of our management team have spent significant portions of their careers working with businessespatent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the travelUnited States and transportation industry and have developed a wide network of professional services contacts and business relationships in that industry. The members of our board of directors also have significant executive management and public company experience with travel and transportation companies. Our process of identifying acquisition targets will leverage our management team’s unique industry experiences, proven deal sourcing capabilities and broad and deep network of relationships in numerous industries, including executives and management teams, private equity groups andcertain other institutional investors, large business enterprises, lenders, investment bankers and other investment market participants, restructuring advisers, consultants, attorneys and accountants, which we believe should provide us with a number of business combination opportunities. We expect that the collective experience, capability and network of our founders, directors and officers, combined with their individual and collective reputations in the investment community, will help to create prospective business combination opportunities.

Index to Financial Statements

In addition, we anticipate that target business candidates may be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers and private investment funds. Target businesses may be brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to target businesses in which they think we may be interested on an unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read the reports we have filed with the SEC and know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors,jurisdictions, as well as their affiliates, maycontractual restrictions, to protect our intellectual property rights. We also bring to our attention target business candidates of which they become aware through their business contacts as a result of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as attending trade shows or conventions.

While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms or other individuals in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation based on the terms of the transaction. We will engage a finder only to the extent our management determines that the use of a finder may bring opportunities to us that may not otherwise be available to us or if finders approach us on an unsolicited basis with a potential transaction that our management determines is in our best interest to pursue. Payment of a finder’s fee is customarily tied to completion of a transaction, in which case any such fee will be paid out of the funds held in the trust account. In no event, however, will our sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation by the company prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). None of our sponsor, executive officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be allowed to receive any compensation, finder’s fees or consulting fees from a prospective business combination target in connection with a contemplated acquisition of such target by us.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors, or from making the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors. Although we will not be specifically focusing on, or targeting, any transactions with affiliated entities, we would pursue such a transaction if we determined that such affiliated entity met our criteria for a business combination as set forth below and such transaction was approved by a majority of our independent and disinterested directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such an initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

As more fully discussed in “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Conflicts of Interest,” if any of our executive officers becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity, including private funds under the management of Thayer Ventures and their respective portfolio companies, to which he or she has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. In addition, existing and future funds managed by Thayer Ventures and their respective portfolio companies may compete with us for business combination opportunities and if such opportunities are pursued by such entities, we may be precluded from pursuing such opportunities. All of our executive officers currently havelicense certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us. In addition, we may pursue an Affiliated Joint Acquisition opportunity with an entity to which an officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by issuing to such entity a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.

Evaluation of a Target Business and Structuring of Our Initial Business Combination

In evaluating a prospective target business, we expect to conduct a thorough due diligence review which may encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and employees, document reviews, interviews of customers and suppliers, inspection of facilities, as well as a review of financial, operational, legalsoftware and other information which will be madeintellectual property from third parties for integration into our product solutions, including open-source software and other software available to us. If we determine to move forward with a particular target, we will proceed to structure and negotiate the terms of the business combination transaction.on commercially reasonable terms.

The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of, and negotiation with, a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination. We will not pay any consulting fees to members of our management team, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with our initial business combination.

Lack of Business Diversification

For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination; and

cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

Limited Ability to Evaluate the Target’s Management Team

Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

We cannot assure you that any of our key personnelpending patent applications will remainresult in senior managementthe issuance of a patent or advisory positions withwhether the combined company. The determination asexamination process will require us to whethernarrow our claims.

Stockholders May Not Have the Ability to Approve Our Initial Business Combination

We may conduct redemptions without a stockholder vote pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SECare more subject to reverse engineering or misappropriation due to local legal requirements. For more information, see the provisions ofsection titled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Data Privacy”.

Regulatory Compliance

Our overall business approach and strategy includes rigorous attention to regulatory compliance, as our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. However, we will seek stockholder approval if it is required by law or applicable stock exchange rule, or we may decide to seek stockholder approval for business or other reasons.

Under Nasdaq’s listing rules, stockholder approval would be required for our initial business combination if, for example:

we issue (other than in a public offering for cash) common stock that will either (a) be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of Class A common stock then outstanding or (b) have voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power then outstanding;

any of our directors, officers or substantial stockholders (as defined by Nasdaq rules) has a 5% or greater interest (or such persons collectively have a 10% or greater interest), directly or indirectly, in the target business or assets to be acquired or otherwise and the present or potential issuance of common stock could result in an increase in outstanding common stock or voting power of 5% or more; or

the issuance or potential issuance of common stock will result in our undergoing a change of control.

The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed business combination in those instances in which stockholder approval is not required by law will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on business and legal reasons, which include a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

the timing of the transaction, including in the event we determine stockholder approval would require additional time and there is either not enough time to seek stockholder approval or doing so would place the company at a disadvantage in the transaction or result in other additional burdens on the company;

the expected cost of holding a stockholder vote;

the risk that the stockholders would fail to approve the proposed business combination;

other time and budget constraints of the company; and

additional legal complexities of a proposed business combination that would be time-consuming and burdensome to present to stockholders.

Permitted Purchases of Our Securities

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase public shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares or public warrants in such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will not make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

In the event that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchasesoperations are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules.

Index to Financial Statements

The purpose of any such purchases of shares could be to (i) vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the business combination or (ii) to satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. The purpose of any such purchases of public warrants could be to reduce the number of public warrants outstanding or to vote such warrants on any matters submitted to the warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may resultregulations in the completionfollowing principal areas, across a wide variety of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.jurisdictions.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our shares of Class A common stock or public warrants may be reducedProperty and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.Accommodations Regulation

Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates anticipate that they may identify the stockholders with whom our sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates may pursue privately negotiated purchases by either the stockholders contacting us directly or by our receipt of redemption requests submitted by stockholders (in the case of shares of Class A common stock) following our mailing of proxy materials in connection with our initial business combination. To the extent that our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates enter into a private purchase, they would identify and contact only potential selling stockholders who have expressed their election to redeem their shares for a pro rata share of the trust account or vote against our initial business combination, whether or not such stockholder has already submitted a proxy with respect to our initial business combination but only if such shares have not already been voted at the stockholder meeting related to our initial business combination. Our sponsor, executive officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates will select which stockholders to purchase shares from based on the negotiated price and number of shares and any other factors that they may deem relevant, and will only purchase shares if such purchases comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act and the other federal securities laws.

Our sponsor, officers, directors and/or their affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers areis subject to such reporting requirements.

Manner of Conducting Redemptions

We will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek stockholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek stockholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement or whether we were deemed to be a foreign private issuer (which would require a tender offer rather than seeking stockholder approval under SEC rules). Asset acquisitions and stock purchases would not typically require stockholder approval while direct mergers with our company where we do not survive and any transactions where we issue more than 20% of our outstanding common stock or seek to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require stockholder approval. We currently intend to conduct redemptions in connection with a stockholder vote unless stockholder approval is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement and we choose to conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC for business or other reasons.

If we held a stockholder vote to approve our initial business combination, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

conduct the redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules; and

file proxy materials with the SEC.

In the event that we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, we will distribute proxy materials and, in connection therewith, provide our public stockholders with the redemption rights described above upon completion of the initial business combination.

If we seek stockholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the shares of Class A common stock voted, on an as converted basis, are voted in favor of the business combination. In such case, our sponsor has agreed to vote the founder shares and any public shares purchased by our sponsor in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders’ founder shares, we would need 6,468,751, or 37.5%, of the 17,250,000 public shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved. In addition, if the anchor investors vote

Index to Financial Statements

the shares of Class A common stock included in the units they purchased in favor of our initial business combination, a smaller proportion of affirmative votes from other public stockholders (approximately 11.4.%) would be required to approve our initial business combination. The anchor investors are three qualified institutional buyers not affiliated with our sponsor or any member of our management team that purchased 4,497,000 units in our IPO.

Each stockholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. In addition, our initial stockholders have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of a business combination.

If we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation:

conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers; and

file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.

Upon the public announcement of our initial business combination, we or our sponsor will terminate any plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 to purchase shares of Class A common stock in the open market if we elect to redeem our public shares through a tender offer, to comply with Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act.

In the event we conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, our offer to redeem will remain open for at least 20 business days, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, and we will not be permitted to complete our initial business combination until the expiration of the tender offer period. In addition, the tender offer will be conditioned on stockholders not tendering more than the number of public shares we are permitted to redeem. If stockholders tender more shares than we have offered to purchase, we will withdraw the tender offer and not complete the initial business combination.

Limitation on Redemption upon Completion of Our Initial Business Combination If We Seek Stockholder Approval

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Class A common stock sold in our IPO, which we refer to as the Excess Shares. We believe this restriction will discourage stockholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a public stockholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of our shares could threaten to exercise its redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our sponsor or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our public stockholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of our shares without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of stockholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash.

Index to Financial Statements

However, we would not be restricting our public stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.

Tendering Share Certificates in Connection with Redemption Rights or a Tender Offer

Public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” will be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to our transfer agent prior to the date set forth in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, mailed to such holders, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/ Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option, in each case up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote to approve the business combination. The proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will indicate the applicable delivery requirements, which will include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in order to validly redeem its shares. Accordingly, a stockholder would have from the time we send out our tender offer materials up to two days prior to the vote on the business combination to tender its shares if it wishes to seek to exercise its redemption rights. Given the relatively short period in which to exercise redemption rights, it is advisable for stockholders to use electronic delivery of their public shares.

There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC System. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee of approximately $80.00 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require holders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares. The need to deliver shares is a requirement of exercising redemption rights regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

The foregoing is different from the procedures used by many blank check companies. In order to perfect redemption rights in connection with their business combinations, many blank check companies would distribute proxy materials for the stockholders’ vote on an initial business combination, and a holder could simply vote against a proposed business combination and check a box on the proxy card indicating such holder was seeking to exercise their redemption rights. After the business combination was approved, the company would contact such stockholder to arrange for them to deliver their certificate to verify ownership. As a result, the stockholder then had an “option window” after the completion of the business combination during which he or she could monitor the price of the company’s shares in the market. If the price rose above the redemption price, they could sell their shares in the open market before actually delivering their shares to the company for cancellation. As a result, the redemption rights, to which stockholders were aware they needed to commit before the stockholder meeting, would become “option” rights surviving past the completion of the business combination until the redeeming holder delivered its certificate. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is approved.

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the business combination, unless otherwise agreed to by us. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivered its certificate in connection with an election of redemption rights and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, such holder may simply request that the transfer agent return the certificate (physically or electronically). It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to holders of our public shares electing to redeem their shares will be distributed promptly after the completion of our initial business combination.

If our initial business combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then our public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights would not be entitled to redeem their shares for the applicable pro rata share of the trust account. In such case, we will promptly return any certificates delivered by public holders who elected to redeem their shares.

Index to Financial Statements

If our initial proposed business combination is not completed, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target until 18 months from the closing of our IPO.

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation If No Initial Business Combination

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will have only 18 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate an initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO, we will:

cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;

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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and

promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations 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 warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO.

Our initial stockholders have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares held by them if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO. However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO.

Our sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they it not propose any amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO or with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless we provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, we may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules). If this optional redemption right is exercised with respect to an excessive number of public shares such that we cannot satisfy the net tangible asset requirement, we would not proceed with the amendment or the related redemption of our public shares at such time. This redemption right shall apply in the event of the approval of any such amendment, whether proposed by our sponsors, any executive officer, director or any other person.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the $3,500,000, including $1,725,000 reimbursement from underwriters, of proceeds held outside the trust account, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

Index to Financial Statements

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our IPO, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust account, the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders upon our dissolution would be $10.20. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be less than $10.20. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. The underwriters will not execute agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the trust account, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters in our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.20 per share.

Index to Financial Statements

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our sponsor will have to indemnify the trust account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the trust account. Our sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to up to $1,250,000 from the proceeds from our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from our trust account could be liable for claims made by creditors; however, such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our trust account received by any such stockholder. In the event that our offering expenses exceed our estimate of $750,000, we may fund such excess with funds from the funds not to be held in the trust account. In such case, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would decrease by a corresponding amount. Conversely, in the event that the offering expenses are less than our estimate of $750,000, the amount of funds we intend to be held outside the trust account would increase by a corresponding amount.

If we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law,additional laws and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our public stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.20 per share to our public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our public stockholders. Furthermore, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.regulations.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our trust account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO, is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful (potentially due to the imposition of legal proceedings that a party may bring or due to other circumstances that are currently unknown), then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution. If we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO, we will:

As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.

Because we are not complying with Section 280, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent ten years. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. As described above, pursuant to the obligation contained in our underwriting agreement, we will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account. As a result of this obligation, the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the trust account is remote. Further, our sponsor may be liable only to the extent necessary to ensure that the amounts in the trust account are not reduced below (i) $10.20 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest withdrawn to pay taxes and will not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.

If we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the trust account couldcan be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law,significant change. Some relevant laws and mayregulations are inconsistent and ambiguous, and could be includedinterpreted by regulators and courts in ways that could adversely affect our bankruptcy estatebusiness, results of operations, and subjectfinancial condition. Moreover, certain laws and regulations have not historically been applied to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.20 per sharean innovative hospitality provider such as us, which often makes their application to our public stockholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against usbusiness uncertain. For additional information regarding the laws and regulations that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received byaffect our stockholders. Furthermore, our boardbusiness, see the “Risk Factors” section of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

Our public stockholders are entitled to receive funds from the trust account only:

in the event of the redemption of our public shares if we do not consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO;

in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO or with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; or

if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of the initial business combination. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

In the event we seek stockholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, a stockholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a stockholder’s redeeming its shares to us for an applicable pro rata share of the trust account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, like all provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, may be amended with a stockholder vote.

Impact to remaining stockholders

The redemptions in connection with our initial business combination or certain stockholder votes to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will reduce the book value per share for our remaining stockholders, who will bear the burden of the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable.If the permitted purchases described above are made, there would be no impact to our remaining stockholders because the purchase price would not be paid by us.The redemption of our public shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination will reduce the book value per share for the shares held by our sponsor, who will be our only remaining stockholder after such redemptions.

Index to Financial Statements

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies, operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our public stockholders who exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination and our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.

Employees

We currently have two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Periodic Reporting and Financial Information

Our units, public shares and public warrants are registered under the Exchange Act and have reporting obligations, including the requirement that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains financial statements audited10-K.

Competition

The market to provide hospitality services is very competitive and reportedhighly fragmented. In addition, the barriers to entry are low and new competitors may enter. Our competitors may adopt aspects of our business model or may introduce new business models or services that we may need to adopt or otherwise adapt to in order to compete, which could reduce our ability to differentiate our business or services from those of our competitors. Increased competition could result in a reduction in revenue, fewer attractive properties, higher lease rates, higher costs or reduced market share. We believe we compete primarily on the basis of the quality of our residences, the variety and attractiveness of our residences, and our high-quality member experience that is a result of the services provided by our independent registered public accountants. You can readmember success teams and vacation experience teams, which include dedicated concierges and planners. Our current or potential competitors include:

home-sharing and rental services and short-term vacation rentals such as Airbnb, Vacasa, Sonder, AvantStay, Evolve, Awaze, and Exclusive Resorts;

global hotel chains such as Hyatt Hotels Corporation, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Marriott International, Radisson Hotel Group, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts as well as boutique hotel chains and independent hotels; and
online travel agencies such as Booking Holdings and Expedia Group.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

This section describes circumstances and the historicalor events that could have a negative effect on our financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential targets we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure you that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAPresults or operations or that could change, for the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Summary Risk Factors

We are a newly formed company that has conducted no operations and has generated no revenues. Until we complete our initial business combination, we will have no operations and will generate no operating revenues. In making your decision whether to investworse, existing trends in our securities, you should take into account not only the backgroundbusinesses. The occurrence of our management team, but also the special risks we face as a blank check company. Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, among others, the following:

We are a blank check company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.

Past performance by Thayer Ventures, including our management team on whom we are dependent, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in us or in the future performance of any business we may acquire.

Our search for a business combination may be materially adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the status of debt and equity markets.

Certain requirements and terms may limit the type and number of companies with which we may complete such a business combination, make it difficult for us to enter into our initial business combination with a target or may not allow us to consummate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.

Our public stockholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination, and your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash.

We may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within the required time period, in which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares, potentially at a loss.

Certain actions, such as a bankruptcy, could result in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

Unlike some other similarly structured special purpose acquisition companies, our sponsor will receive additional shares of Class A common stock if we issue certain shares to consummate an initial business combination.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination, our public stockholders may be forced to wait up to 18 months or longer before redemption from our trust account.

Our executive officers, directors, security holders and their respective affiliates may have conflicts of interests that could, as applicable, affect the amount of time allocated to our company, impact the business opportunities presented to us, or raise competitive financial interests or affiliations with one or more of target businesses.

Management’s flexibility in identifying and selectingthe circumstances or events described below could have a prospective acquisition candidate, along with our management’s financial interest in consummating our initial business combination, may lead management to enter into an acquisition agreement that is not in the best interest of our stockholders.

We may issue additional shares of our Class A common stock or preferred stock or incur substantial debt in connection with our initial business combination, which could dilute your interests, adversely affectmaterial adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and thus negatively impactcash flows and/or on the valuetrading prices of our stockholders’ investment in us.

Index to Financial Statements

Holders of warrants will not participate in liquidating distributions if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period,common stock. The risks and the warrants will expire worthless.

Our management’s ability to require holders of our warrants to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer shares of common stock upon their exercise of the warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise their warrants for cash.

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to the warrant holders.

Our initial stockholders control a substantial interest in us and thus may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.

There is currently no market for our securities and a market for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

Purchases of our units by the anchor investors will reduce the public float for our securities.

We face certain risks if we acquire or operate a business outside of the United States.

Risk Factors

Our business involves significant risks, some of which areuncertainties described below. You should carefully consider these risks, in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K including our financial statements and related notes and are not the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The occurrence of any of the events or developments described in the following risk factors and the risks described elsewhere in this Annual Report could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our securities.only ones facing us.

Past performance by Thayer Ventures, including our management team, may not be indicativeresults of future performance of an investment in us or in the future performance of any business we may acquire.

Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, Thayer Ventures is presented for informational purposes only. Any past experience and performance of Thayer Ventures or our management team is not a guarantee either: (1) that we will be able to successfully identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination; or (2) of any results with respect to any initial business combination we may consummate. You should not rely on the historical record of Thayer Ventures or our management team’s performance as indicative of the future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward. An investment in us is not an investment in Thayer Ventures. Other than Mark E. Farrell, none of our sponsor, officers, directors or Thayer Ventures has had experience with a blank check company or special purpose acquisition company in the past.

Index to Financial Statements

We are dependent upon our executive officers and directors and their loss could adversely affect our ability to operate.

Our operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, our executive officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our officers and directors, at least until we have completed our initial business combination. In addition, our executive officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our directors or executive officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of our directors or executive officers could have a detrimental effect on us.

Our search for a business combination, and any target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the status of debt and equity markets.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in, and a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases could result in, a widespread health crisis that could materially and adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the operations and financial position of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability to have meetings with potential investors, if the target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers are unavailable to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner, or if COVID-19 causes a prolonged economic downturn. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination,condition may be materially adversely affected.

In addition,Our ability to grow our operations and revenue is dependent on our ability to consummateretain existing members and add new Subscriptions, and we cannot be sure that we will be successful in these efforts or that member retention levels will not materially decline. There are a business combination may be dependentnumber of factors that could lead to a decline in members or that could prevent us from increasing our members, including:

our failure to deliver offerings that members find attractive;
our ability to achieve and sustain market acceptance, particularly with respect to Inspirato Pass;
harm to our brand and reputation;
pricing and perceived value of our offerings;
members engaging with competitive products and services;
problems affecting members’ experiences;
a decline in the public’s interest in luxury travel;
deteriorating general economic conditions or a change in consumer discretionary spending preferences or trends, including inflation and increases to federal interest rates;
political, social or economic instability, such as the ongoing geopolitical tensions related to conflicts in the Middle East, Russia’s actions in Ukraine, and other geopolitical events; and
events beyond our control such as global or regional pandemics and health concerns, increased or continuing restrictions on travel, immigration restrictions, trade disputes and the impact of climate change on travel, including fires, floods, severe weather and other natural disasters and the impact of climate change.

In addition, if our platform is not easy to navigate; members have unsatisfactory sign-up, search, booking or payment experiences on our platform; the abilitycontent on our platform is not displayed engagingly to raise equitymembers; we are not effective in engaging members across our various offerings and debt financing which may be impacted by COVID-19tiers; or we fail to provide an experience in a manner that meets rapidly changing demand, we could fail to acquire first-time members and other events, including asfail to retain our existing members.

As a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquiditythese factors, we cannot be sure that our member levels will be adequate to maintain or permit the expansion of our operations. A decline in member levels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our member support function is critical to the success of our business, and any failure to provide high-quality service could affect our reputation and ability to retain our existing members and attract new members.

Our ability to provide high-quality support to our members is important for the growth of our business and any failure to maintain such standards of member support, or any perception that we do not provide high-quality service, could affect our ability to attract and retain members. Meeting the support expectations of our members requires significant time and resources from our support team and significant investment in staffing and technology. In particular, many travel reservations made through us include planning assistance, daily housekeeping, related property services and a local concierge to assist members during their travel. If we or our third-party service providers fail to provide these services in a high-quality manner, or these services are not commensurate with those offered by other luxury travel providers such as hotel brands, our brand may be harmed. In addition, we need to be able to provide effective support that meets members’ expectations in a variety of countries.

Our local support is performed by a combination of our internal teams and third-party financing being unavailableservice providers. We rely on terms acceptableour internal teams and these third parties to us or at all.

The requirement that the target business or businessesprovide timely, responsive and high-quality service to our members. Reliance on these third parties requires that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equalprovide proper standards for them to meet when interacting with our members and ensure acceptable levels of quality and member satisfaction are achieved.

We rely on information provided by members and are at least 80%times limited in our ability to help members resolve issues due to our lack of information or control of local third-party staff. To the balance ofextent that members are not satisfied with the funds in the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination may limit the type and number of companies with which we may complete such a business combination.

Nasdaq rules and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation require that the target businesstimeliness, responsiveness or businesses that we acquire must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. This restriction may limit the type and number of companies that we may complete a business combination with. If we are unable to locate a target business or businesses that satisfy this fair market value test, we may be forced to liquidate and you will only be entitled to receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account, which may be less than $10.20 per share.

Index to Financial Statements

Our public stockholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination, which means we may consummate our initial business combination even though a majorityquality of our public stockholders do not support, such a combination.

If a stockholder vote is not required, we may conduct redemptions via a tender offer. Accordingly, we may consummate our initial business combination even if holders of a majority of our public shares do not approve the business combination.

Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash.

At the time of your investment in us, you will not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of one or more target businesses. Because our board of directors may consummate our initial business combination without seeking stockholder approval, public stockholders may not have the right or opportunity to vote on the business combination. Accordingly, your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to exercising your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in our tender offer documents mailed to our public stockholders in which we describe our initial business combination.

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, our initial stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.

As of December 31, 2020, our initial stockholders own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of our outstanding common stock. Our initial stockholders also may from time to time purchase public shares prior to our initial business combination. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, if we seek stockholder approval of an initial business combination, such initial business combination will be approved if we receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted at such meeting, including the founder shares. As a result, in addition to our initial stockholders’ founder shares, we would need 6,468,751, or 37.5%, (assuming all outstanding shares are voted), of the 17,250,000 public shares to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved. In addition, if the anchor investors vote the shares of Class A common stock included in the units in favor of our initial business combination, a smaller proportion of affirmative votes from other public stockholders (approximately 11.4%) would be required to approve our initial business combination. Accordingly, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, the agreement by our initial stockholders to vote in favor of our initial business combination will increase the likelihood that we will receive the requisite stockholder approval for such initial business combination.

The ability of our public stockholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into our initial business combination with a target.

We may enter into a transaction agreement with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. If too many public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, we may not be able to meetretain members, and our reputation and brand, as well as our business, results of operations and financial condition, could be materially adversely affected.

Providing support that is timely, responsive and high-quality is costly, and such closing condition, and as a result, would not be able to proceed with the business combination. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Consequently, if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 or such greater amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed with such redemption and the related business combination andcosts may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective targets would be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into our initial business combination transaction with us.

Index to Financial Statements

The ability of a large number of our stockholders to exercise redemption rights may not allow us to consummate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.

In connection with the successful consummation of our initial business combination, we may redeem up to that number of shares of common stock that would permit us to maintain net tangible assets of $5,000,001. If our initial business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price, the redemption threshold may be further limited. Alternatively, we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our initial business combination in case a larger percentage of stockholders exercise their redemption rights than we expect. If the acquisition involves the issuance of our shares as consideration, we may be required to issue a higher percentage of our shares to the target or its stockholders to make up for the failure to satisfy a minimum cash requirement. Raising additional funds to cover any shortfall may involve dilutive equity financing or incurring indebtedness at higher than desirable levels. This may limit our ability to effectuate the most attractive business combination available to us.

The requirement that we maintain a minimum net worth or retain a certain amount of cash could increase the probability that we cannot consummate our initial business combination and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your shares.

If, pursuant to the terms of our proposed business combination, we are required to maintain a minimum net worth or retain a certain amount of cash in trust in order to consummate the business combination and regardless of whether we proceed with redemptions under the tender offer or proxy rules, the probability that we cannot consummate our initial business combination is increased. If we do not consummate our initial business combination, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the trust account until we liquidate. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your sharesrise in the open market; however, at such time our shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount in our trust account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with our redemption until we liquidate or you are able to sell your shares in the open market.future.

The requirement that we complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating our initial business combination.

Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning our initial business combination will be aware that we must consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO. Consequently, such target businesses may obtain leverage over us in negotiating our initial business combination, knowing that if we do not complete our initial business combination with that particular target business, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the timeframe described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.

Our abilityfinancial forecasts. Due to complete our initial business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility in the capital and debt markets and the other risks described herein. If we have not consummated an initial business combination within such applicable time 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public

Ifemphasis on providing a luxury travel experience, we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase public shares from stockholders, in which case they may influence a vote in favor of a proposed business combination that you do not support.

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase public shares or equity-linked securities in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the consummation of our initial business combination. Such purchases will not be made if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates are in possession of any material non-public information that has not been disclosed to the selling stockholder, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, other than as expressly stated herein, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. In the event that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. It is intended that, if Rule 10b-18 would apply to purchases by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates, then such purchases will comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, to the extentfind it applies, which provides a safe harbor for purchases made under certain conditions, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases.

The purpose of such purchases would be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the business combination or (2) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of the business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. This may result in the consummation of an initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

Purchases of shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may make it difficult for us to maintain the listing of our shares on a national securities exchange following the consummation of an initial business combination.

If our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates purchase public shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, the public “float” of our shares of common stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities would both be reduced, possibly making itmore difficult to maintain the listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange following consummation of the business combination.

If a stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our public sharesfind additional attractive properties in connection with our initial business combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such sharesthose markets. When we identify suitable properties, we may not be redeemed.

We will complyable to negotiate leases or other occupancy arrangements on commercially reasonable terms or at all or may incur additional expenses engaging local counsel to assist with the proxy ruleslease or tender offer rules, as applicable, when conducting redemptions in connection withother occupancy arrangement negotiations. Our leases and other occupancy arrangements are often complex and require substantial time to negotiate, which makes forecasting our initial business combination. Despite our compliance with these rules, if a stockholder fails to receive our proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, such stockholderrevenue from new properties more difficult. In certain international markets, we have less experience and may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, that we will furnish to holders of our public shares in connection with our initial business combination will describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem or tender public shares. In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares, potentially at a loss.

Our public stockholders shall be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of a redemption to public stockholders prior to any winding up in the event we do not consummate our initial business combination or our liquidation, if they redeem their shares in connection with an initial business combination that we consummate or if we seek to amend our amendedreal estate staff, and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem all public shares if we cannot complete an initial business combination within 18 months of the closing of our IPO or with respect to any otherlocal regulations and real estate industry practices (including customary lease provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to the funds in the trust account. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares, potentially at a loss.

You are not entitled to protections normally afforded to investors of many other blank check companies.

Because the net proceeds of our IPO are intended to be used to complete our initial business combination with a target business that has not been identified, we may be deemed to be a “blank check” company under the United States securities laws. However, because we will have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 upon the successful consummation of our IPO and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K, including an audited balance sheet demonstrating this fact, we are exempt from rules promulgated by the SEC to protect investors in blank check companies, such as Rule 419. Accordingly, investors will not be afforded the benefits or protections of those rules. Among other things, this means our units will be immediately tradable and we will have a longer period of time to complete our initial business combination than do companies subject to Rule 419. Moreover, offerings subject to Rule 419 would prohibit the release of any interest earned on funds held in the trust account to us.

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if you or a “group” of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of our shares of common stock, you will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of our shares of common stock.

If we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, individually or together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of our public shares. Your inability to redeem more than an aggregate of 15% of our public shares will reduce your influence over our ability to consummate our initial business combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose of such shares, you would be required to sell your shares in open market transaction, potentially at a loss.

If our available cash resources are insufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 18 months, we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.

The funds available to us outside of the trust account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least the next 18 months, assuming that our initial business combination is not consummated during that time. Of the funds available to us, we could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around

Index to Financial Statements

for transactions with other companies on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we are unable to fund such down payments or “no shop” provisions, our ability to close a contemplated transaction could be impaired. Furthermore, if we entered into a letter of intent where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive a pro rata portion of the amount then in the trust account (which may be less than $10.20 per share) (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption, and our warrants will expire worthless.

Subsequent to our consummation of our initial business combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges.

Even if we conduct thorough due diligence on a target business with which we combine, this diligence may not surface all material issues that may be present inside a particular target business. And, regardless of how comprehensive our diligence may be, factors outside of the target business and outside of our control may arise later. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination debt financing.

Our directors may decide not to enforce indemnification obligations against our sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below $10.20 per share and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine on our behalf whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations on our behalf, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.20 per share.

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

Unlike some other similarly structured special purpose acquisition companies, our sponsor will receive additional shares of Class A common stock if we issue certain shares to consummate an initial business combination.

The founder shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination, the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as converted basis, 20% of the total number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of shares of Class A common stock by public stockholders). This amount will include the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, but will exclude any shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities or rights exercisable for or convertible into shares of Class A common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination and any private placement warrants issued to our sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans, provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis. This is different than some other similarly structured special purpose acquisition companies in which the sponsor will only be issued an aggregate of 20% of the total number of shares to be outstanding prior to our initial business combination.

Our executive officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or to complete our initial business combination.

Our executive officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. Our independent directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If our executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs which may have a negative impact on our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or to complete our initial business combination.

Our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Until we consummate our initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more businesses. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have, additional fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including private funds under the management of Thayer Ventures and their respective portfolio companies, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. In addition, existing and future funds managed by Thayer Ventures and their respective portfolio companies may compete with us for business combination opportunities and, if such opportunities are pursued by such entities, we may be precluded from pursuing such opportunities. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our

Index to Financial Statements

favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation. In addition, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies, businesses or ventures may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination.

Our executive officers, directors, security holders and their respective affiliates may have competitive pecuniary interests that conflict with our interests.

We have not adopted a policy that expressly prohibits our directors, executive officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary or financial interest in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by us or in any transaction to which we are a party or have an interest. In fact, we may enter into a business combination with a target business that is affiliated with our sponsor, our directors or executive officers, although we do not intend to do so, or we may acquire a target business through an Affiliated Joint Acquisition with one or more affiliates of Thayer Ventures and/or one or more investors in Thayer Ventures funds. Nor do we have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by us. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and ours. In particular, certain of the Thayer Ventures funds are focused on investments in the travel and transportation industry. As a result, there may be substantial overlap between companies that would be a suitable business combination for us and companies that would make an attractive target for the Thayer Ventures funds. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation.

The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest. If this were the case, it would be a breach of their fiduciary duties to us as a matter of Delaware law and we or our stockholders might have a claim against such individuals for infringing on our stockholders’ rights. However, we might not ultimately be successful in any claim we may make against them for such reason.

We may engage in a business combination with one or more target businesses that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers, directors or existing holders which may raise potential conflicts of interest.

In light of the involvement of our sponsor, executive officers and directors with other entities, we may decide to acquire one or more businesses affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers, directors or existing holders. Our directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities, including, without limitation, those described under “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Conflicts of Interest.” Such entities may compete with us for business combination opportunities. Our sponsor, officers and directors are not currently aware of any specific opportunities for us to complete our initial business combination with any entities with which they are affiliated, and there have been no substantive discussions concerning a business combination with any such entity or entities. Although we will not be specifically focusing on, or targeting, any

Index to Financial Statements

transaction with any affiliated entities, we would pursue such a transaction if we determined that such affiliated entity met our criteria for a business combination and such transaction was approved by a majority of our independent and disinterested directors. Despite our agreement to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm regarding the fairness to our company from a financial point of view of a business combination with one or more domestic or international businesses affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers, directors or existing holders, potential conflicts of interest still may exist and, as a result, the terms of the business combination may not be as advantageous to our public stockholders as they would be absent any conflicts of interest.

Moreover, we may pursue an Affiliated Joint Acquisition opportunity with one or more affiliates of Thayer Ventures and/or one or more investors in Thayer Ventures. Any such parties may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the business combination by issuing to such parties a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and ours.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including restrictions on the nature of our investments and restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination. In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including registration as an investment company, adoption of a specific form of corporate structure and reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to consummate our initial business combination.

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business will be to identify and complete a business combination and thereafter to operate the post-business combination business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.

We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Our securities are not intended for persons who are seeking a return on investments in government securities or investment securities. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of either: (i) the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide public stockholders the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if

we do not complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of shares of our Class A common stock, and (iii) the redemption of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business within 18 months from the closing of our IPO, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete a business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.20 per public share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our warrants will expire worthless.

We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete our initial business combination with which a substantial majority of our stockholders or warrant holders do not agree.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In addition, our proposed initial business combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our public stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares in connection with such initial business combination, all shares of Class A common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

This may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination with a target business.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, maycould adversely affect our business, investmentsliquidity and results of operations.

We currently lease most of our properties. Our obligations to landlords under these agreements extend for periods that frequently significantly exceed the duration of Subscriptions, often by many years although many, but not all, of our leases provide us the ability to terminate leases with appropriate notice.

Our leases generally provide for fixed monthly payments that are not tied to occupancy rates or revenues, and our leases typically contain minimum rental payment obligations. As a result, if we are unable to maintain sufficient occupancy rates, or if the rates we are able to charge are not sufficient, our lease expenses may not be sufficiently offset by our revenue from members which may reduce our margins and cash flow.

We have limited flexibility to rapidly alter our portfolio of properties and our lease commitments in response to changing circumstances. Leases require substantial time to negotiate, and there is often a significant delay between a lease signing and the availability of a property to our members.

Moreover, our leases contain a variety of contractual rights and obligations that may be subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments, in particular, the SEC.

We are subject to complythe risks associated with applicable laws or regulations, as interpretednatural disasters and applied,the physical effects of climate change, which may include more frequent severe storms, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our coastal destinations could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea levels causing damage to our properties and result in a reduced number of properties in these areas. Climate change may also affect our business by increasing the cost of, or making unavailable, property insurance on terms we or our landlords find acceptable in areas most vulnerable to such events, increasing operating costs, including the cost of water or energy, and requiring us or our landlords to expend funds as they seek to repair and protect their properties in connection with such events. As a result of the foregoing and other climate-related issues, we may be unable to provide properties in certain areas due to climate change, and we may lose both landlords and members, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We lease our properties in a relatively concentrated number of travel destinations, both in the United States and internationally. The relative concentration of our properties in certain areas may expose us to a disproportionate level of risk relating to those areas.

The location of our properties is relatively concentrated in travel destinations, including areas with possible risks associated with natural disasters and the physical effects of climate change as well as risks associated with local regulatory changes, changes in currency exchange rates and security risks. As a result, we may be disproportionately affected by adverse developments in those areas relative to competitors with more geographically diversified operations.

The increasing complexity of the hospitality industry may have adverse effects on our business.

Our business is becoming increasingly complex due in part to the continued evolution of the hospitality industry and changing local and national regulatory requirements. This increased complexity has demanded, and will continue to demand, substantial resources and attention from our management. Our ability to retain existing and attract new members, obtain a sufficient supply of luxury accommodations and experiences, provide high-quality service, execute and integrate acquisitions and adapt to technological change may be impacted due to the increasing complexity of our business. Our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted if we are unable to effectively manage these potential changes.

The hospitality market is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully with our current or future competitors.

The market to provide hospitality services is very competitive and highly fragmented. In addition, the barriers to entry are low and new competitors may enter. Our current or potential competitors include global hotel brands, regional hotel chains, independent hotels, online travel agencies, home-sharing and rental services and short term/vacation rental services. Our competitors may adopt aspects of our business model, which could reduce our ability to differentiate our offerings. Additionally, current or new competitors may introduce new business models or services that we may need to adopt or otherwise adapt to in order to compete, which could reduce our ability to differentiate our business or services from those of our competitors. Increased competition could result in a reduction in revenue, fewer attractive properties, higher lease rates, higher costs or reduced market share.

Our results of operations are subject to seasonal and other fluctuations.

We have experienced and may continue to experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations, which make it difficult to forecast our future results. Additionally, the hospitality industry is subject to seasonal and cyclical volatility, which may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations and financial condition. Based on historical results, we generally expect our revenues to be lower in the second quarter of each year than in each of the three other quarters. In addition, the hospitality industry is cyclical, and demand generally follows the general economy on a lagged basis.

We rely on consumer discretionary spending and could be impacted by the broad macroeconomic environment.

Our business is particularly sensitive to trends in the travel, real estate and vacation rental markets and in the general economy, all of which are unpredictable. Travel is significantly dependent on discretionary spending levels. As a result, sales of travel services tend to decline during general economic downturns, recessions and times of political or economic uncertainty as consumers engage in less discretionary spending. Any financial or economic crisis, or perceived threat of such a crisis, including a significant decrease in consumer confidence, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have limited experience with inventory pricing for new products.

We generate revenue primarily from travel bookings and Subscriptions to our Inspirato Club and Inspirato Pass offerings. Our Subscriptions provide varying degrees of travel booking rights, and additional bookings and travel-related services are available on an ad-hoc basis.

We have limited experience with our pricing model for newer products, for example Inspirato Pass, IFG, and IFB, and may not accurately predict the long-term rate of member adoption or renewal or the impact these will have on our revenue or results of operations. Further, we may not be successful in operating our member loyalty program, Rewards. As the markets for our offerings mature, as we create new offerings or as new competitors introduce competing offerings, we may be unable to attract new members or retain existing members at the same price or based on the same pricing model we have used historically.

We may not be successful in operating our member loyalty program, Rewards.

We have limited experience in operating a loyalty program and there can be no assurance that Rewards will enhance member loyalty or that, if additional travel is booked with us as a result of Rewards, the benefits to us will be sufficient to offset the costs of operating Rewards. In operating and accounting for Rewards, management makes estimates and assumptions regarding member travel and usage of the associated benefits. Significant change in, or failure by management to reasonably estimate, actual member usage of Rewards benefits and associated costs could adversely affect our business. Many travel providers offer loyalty programs and may offer rewards and benefits that are similar to or more attractive than ours. If we fail to differentiate Rewards from these other loyalty

16

programs, or if we otherwise curtail or terminate Rewards benefits in the future, member loyalty could decrease and our business could be adversely impacted.

Our success depends on our key personnel and our ability to attract, retain and motivate other highly skilled personnel.

Our success depends to a significant degree on the retention of our senior management team, key technical, financial and operations employees and other highly skilled personnel. Our success also depends on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, retain and integrate highly qualified and diverse personnel for all areas of our organization. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to fulfill our current or future needs. Members of our management team or other key employees may terminate their employment with us at any time. For example, we recently experienced significant changes to our leadership team. In March of 2023 we appointed a new Chief Financial Officer and in September of 2023 we appointed a new Chief Executive Officer. Although we believe these leadership changes are in the best interest of our stakeholders, these changes were significant to our business. Any leadership transition and organizational changes may result in loss of personnel with deep institutional or technical knowledge and has the potential to disrupt our operations and relationships with employees and customers due to added costs, operational inefficiencies, decreased employee morale and productivity, and increased turnover. If we experience turnover among our management team or other key employees, it may be difficult to find suitable replacements on a timely basis, on competitive terms or at all.

We face intense competition in local markets for highly skilled personnel to service our members and properties. To attract and retain qualified personnel, we must offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. Job candidates and existing personnel often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity awards declines, it may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. We may need to invest significant amounts of cash and equity to attract and retain new employees and expend significant time and resources to identify, recruit, train and integrate such employees, and we may never realize returns on these investments. If we are unable to effectively manage our hiring needs or successfully integrate new hires, our efficiency, ability to meet forecasts, employee morale, productivity and retention could suffer, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on our ability to accurately and effectively update our member’s experience within our technology platforms.

Our member experiences sit on a technology platform that has allowed for flexibility in our product development strategy. We have invested significantly for many years in engineering, product, and design in order to build out the platform and we operate a modern technology stack that allows for rapid development and deployment as well as integrations. We rely on our own internal engineering team as well as third-party software to develop and maintain our technology platforms. We require our technology platform to adapt and scale as we develop new products or change the way current products operate within our technology platforms. If we fail to adapt appropriately or if we are unable to effectively update our technology platforms to keep up with our members’ expectations, we may be unable to provide a satisfactory user experience for our members which may result in the loss of memberships or future revenues.

We rely on third-party payment processors to process payments made by members.

We rely on a limited number of third-party payment processors and credit card issuers to process payments made by our members. If any of our third-party payment processors terminates its relationship with us, refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms or places additional constraints on us, such as significant cash reserves beyond our capabilities, we may be unable to accept payments from certain credit cards or would need to find a replacement payment processor and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such payment processor in an acceptable time frame. Furthermore, the software and services provided by our third-party payment processors may fail to meet our expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, be compromised or experience outages. Any of these risks could cause us to lose our ability to accept online payments or other payment transactions, which could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain members or disrupt our operations.

Nearly all payments made by our members are made by credit card, debit card or through third-party payment services, which subjects us to certain regulations and to the risk of fraud. We may in the future offer new payment options to members that may be subject to additional regulations and risks. We are also subject to a number of other laws and regulations relating to the payments we accept from our members, including with respect to money laundering, money transfers, privacy and information security, and these regulations may differ by locality and can be expected to change over time.

We have a history of net losses and may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

We incurred net losses attributable to Inspirato Incorporated of $22.2 million, $24.1 million and $51.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $285.8 million. Our accumulated deficit and net losses attributable to Inspirato Incorporated historically resulted in part from the substantial investments required to grow our business. We expect to continue making investments in our business in the future. These efforts may prove more expensive than currently anticipated, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. Further, actions we are taking to review and optimize our business in alignment with our strategic priorities may not be as effective as anticipated. These or similar events may adversely affect our ability to achieve and sustain profitability.

We may become involved in claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those related to potential health and safety issues and hazardous substances at our properties.

We are involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business and may be subject to additional legal proceedings from time to time. Legal proceedings can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources and cause us to incur significant expenses or liabilities. The expense of litigation and the timing of this expense from period to period are difficult to estimate and subject to change and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the international nature of a portion of our operations and the number of countries in which we operate could subject us to increased risk of litigation in foreign jurisdictions, which may be lengthier, costlier or less predictable than comparable litigation in the United States. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes even where we have meritorious claims or defenses. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unableRisks Relating to consummate our initial business combination, our public stockholders may be forced to wait up to 18 months or longer before redemption from our trust account.Financial and Market Matters

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter (subject to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and applicable law), distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), pro rata to our public stockholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up of our affairs by way of a voluntary liquidation, as further described herein. Any redemption of public stockholders from the trust account shall be effected as required by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to our commencing any voluntary liquidation. Except as otherwise described herein, we have no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of any redemption required as a result of our failure to consummate our initial business combination within the period described above or our liquidation, unless we consummate our initial business combination prior thereto and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their shares of common stock. Only upon any such redemption of public shares as we are required to effect, or any liquidation, will public stockholders be entitled to distributions if we are unable to complete our initial business combination.

We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after the completion of our initial business combination.

In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until no later than one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. Under Section 211(b) of the DGCL, we are, however, required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes of electing directors in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, and thus we may not be in compliance with Section 211(b) of the DGCL, which requires an annual meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders want us to hold an annual meeting prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, they may attempt to force us to hold one by submitting an application to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the DGCL.

The grant of registration rights to our sponsor may make it more difficult to complete our initial business combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement we entered into in connection with our IPO, our sponsor (and/or our sponsor’s designees) and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the founder shares, the private placement warrants, the underlying securities and any securities issued upon conversion of working capital loans. We will bear the cost of registering these securities. The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our shares of common stock. In addition, the existence of the registration rights may make our initial business combination more costly or difficult to conclude. This is because the stockholder of the target business may

Index to Financial Statements

increase the equity stake they seek in the combined entity or ask for more cash consideration to offset the negative impact on the market price of our shares of common stock that is expected to occur when the securities owned by our sponsor, holders of our private units or their respective permitted transferees are registered.

Because we have not yet selected a particular business or specific geographic location or any specific target businesses with which to pursue our initial business combination, you will be unable to ascertain the merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations.

Although we have a stated focus on certain target businesses in a specific geographic location as indicated elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, wehas been and may pursue acquisition opportunities in any geographic region. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business industry or sector, we are initially focused on those industries or sectors that complement our management team’s background. Except for the limitations that a target business have a fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) and that we are not permitted to effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations, we will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Because as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K we do not have a definitive agreement with any specific target business with respect to our initial business combination, there is no basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any particular target business’ operations, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition or prospects. To the extent we consummate our initial business combination, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations with which we combine. For example, if we combine with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking an established record of sales or earnings, we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or a development stage entity. Although our officers and directors will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we may not properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors and we may not have adequate time to complete due diligence. Furthermore, some of these risks may be outside of our control and thus leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks will adversely impact a target business. In addition, investors will be relying on the business judgment of our board of directors, which will have significant discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of a particular target business. An investment in our units may not ultimately provecontinue to be more favorable to investors than a direct investment, if such opportunity were available, in an acquisition target.

We may seek investment opportunities outside our management’s area of expertise and our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all significant risks associated with the target company.

There is no limitation on the industry or business sector we may consider when contemplating our initial business combination. We may therefore be presented with a business combination candidate in an industry unfamiliar to our management team, but determine that such candidate offers an attractive investment opportunity for our company. In the event we elect to pursue an investment outside of our management’s expertise, our management’s experience may not be directly applicable to the target business or their evaluation of its operations.

Although we identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we may enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and as a result, the target business with which we enter into our initial business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and guidelines.

Although we have identified specific criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that a target business with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we consummate our initial business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce our initial business combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of stockholders may

The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and we expect it to continue to be volatile for the foreseeable future. Adverse events including volatility in our operating results, regulatory developments, changes in consumer discretionary spending, and changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance could negatively impact the market price of our common stock. General market conditions, including the level of, and fluctuations in, the trading prices of securities generally could also have a minimum net worth or a certain amountsimilar negative impact. Further, we are an “emerging growth company” with reduced public company reporting requirements; we have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls related to financial reporting; and we have restated our previously issued condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 due to errors in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Each of cash. In addition, if stockholder approval ofthese factors may cause reduced investor confidence, limit our ability to raise capital and increased volatility to the transaction is required by law or the Nasdaq, or we decide to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain stockholder approvalmarket price of our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive $10.20 per share or even less (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption, and our warrants will expire worthless.

Management’s flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate, along with our management’s financial interest in consummating our initial business combination, may lead management to enter into an acquisition agreement that is not in the best interest of our stockholders.

Subject to the requirements in Nasdaq rules and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that we must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the trust account (excluding any taxes payable) at the time of the agreement to enter into such initial business combination, we will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate. Investors will be relying on management’s ability to identify business combinations, evaluate their merits, conduct or monitor diligence and conduct negotiations. Management’s flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective acquisition candidate, along with management’s financial interest in consummating our initial business combination, may lead management to enter into an acquisition agreement that is not in the best interest of our stockholders, which would be the case ifcommon stock. Similar factors could also affect the trading price of our sharesPublic Warrants.

If no opinion is obtained, our stockholders will be relyingnegative impact on the judgment of our board of directors, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community. Such standards used will be disclosed in our tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, related to our initial business combination.

We may issue additional shares of our Class A common stock or preferred stock to complete our initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination. We may also issue shares of our Class A common stock upon the conversion of the founder shares at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our stockholders and likely present other risks.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares oftrading price for our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share 10,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2020, there were 82,750,000 and 5,687,500 authorized but unissued shares of our (“Class A commonCommon Stock”) because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning stock in companies with controlling stockholders.

We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our Class A common stockdelaying or shares of preferred stock to complete our initial business combination or under an employee incentive plan after completion of our initial business combination. We may also issue Class A common stock to redeem the warrants or upon conversion of the Class B common stock at a ratio greater than one-to-one at the time of our initial business combination as a result of the anti-dilution provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. However, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides, among other things, that prior to or in connection with our initial business combination, we may not issue additional securities that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account or (ii) vote on any initial business combination or on any other proposal presented to stockholders prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. These provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, like all provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, may be amended with a stockholder vote. The issuance of additional shares of common stock or shares of preferred stock:

may significantly dilute the equity interest of our stockholders;

may subordinate the rights of holders of our Class A common stock if shares of preferred stock are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A common stock;

could causepreventing a change in control, ifincluding a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock is issued, which may affect, amongmerger, consolidation or other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A common stock and/or warrants.

Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not consummated.

We anticipate that the investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If we decide not to complete a specific initial business combination or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control, even if that change in control would benefit the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, we may fail to consummate our initial business combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share or even less (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption, and our warrants will expire worthless.

Our ability to successfully effect our initial business combination and to be successful thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our officers, directors and key personnel, some of whom may join us following our initial business combination.

Our operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, our officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our officers and directors, at least until we have consummated our initial business combination.other stockholders. In addition, our officers and directors are not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs and, accordingly, will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence. We do not have an employment agreement with, or key-man insurance on the life of, any of our directors or officers. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of our directors or officers could have a detrimental effect on us.

The role of such persons in the target business, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although some of such persons may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory positions following our initial business combination, it is likely thatshould these stockholders sell some or all of the management of the target business will remain in

place. While we intend to closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after our initial business combination, our assessment of these individualstheir shares, this may not prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a company regulated by the SEC, which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such requirements.

Members of our management team may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements may provide for them to receive compensation following our initial business combination and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous.

Members of our management team may be able to remain with the company after the completion of our initial business combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting agreements in connection with the business combination. Such negotiations would take place concurrently with the negotiation of the business combination and could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash payments and/or our securities for services they would render to us after the completion of the business combination. The personal and financial interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business. However, we believe the ability of such individuals to remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination will not be the determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we will proceed with any potential business combination. There is no certainty, however, that any members of our management team will remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that any members of our management team will remain in senior management or advisory positions with us. The determination as to whether any members of our management team will remain with us will be made at the time of our initial business combination.

We may have a limited ability to assess the management of a prospective target business and, as a result, may effectuate our initial business combination with a target business whose management may not have the skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company.

When evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with a prospective target business, our ability to assess the target business’ management may be limited due to a lack of time, resources or information. Our assessment of the capabilities of the target’s management, therefore, may prove to be incorrect and such management may lack the skills, qualifications or abilities we suspected. Should the target’s management not possess the skills, qualifications or abilities necessary to manage a public company, the operations and profitability of the post-combination business may be negatively impacted.

The role of an acquisition candidate’s key personnel upon the consummation of our initial business combination cannot be ascertained at this time. Although we contemplateCompany has Public Warrants that certain members of an acquisition candidate’s management team will remain associated with the acquisition candidate following our initial business combination, it is possible that some members of the management team of an acquisition candidate will not wish to remain in place.

Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. Our independent directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities. If our executive officers’ and directors’ other business affairs require them to devote substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs which may have a negative impact on our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or to complete our initial business combination.

Certain of our officers and directors are now, and all of them may in the future become, affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time and determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Until we consummate our initial business combination, we intend to engage in the business of identifying and combining with one or more businesses. Our sponsor and officers and directors are, and may in the future become, affiliated with entities (such as operating companies or investment vehicles) that are engaged in a similar business.

Our officers and directors also may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us and the other entities in the future to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.

Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and ours.

We may engage in a business combination with one or more target businesses that have relationships with entities that may be affiliated with our sponsor, officers, directors or existing holders which may raise potential conflicts of interest.

In light of the involvement of our sponsor, officers and directors with other entities, we may decide to acquire one or more businesses affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors. Our directors also serve as officers and board members for other entities including, without limitation, those described under “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Conflicts of Interest.” Such entities may compete with us for business combination opportunities. Our sponsor, officers and directors are not currently aware of any specific opportunities for us to complete our initial business combination with any entities with which they are affiliated, and there have been no preliminary discussions concerning a business combination with any such entity or entities. Although we will not be specifically focusing on, or targeting, any transaction with any

Index to Financial Statements

affiliated entities, we would pursue such a transaction if we determined that such affiliated entity met our criteria for a business combination and such transaction was approved by a majority of our disinterested directors. Despite our agreement to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent valuation or accounting firm regarding the fairnessNote 3 to our company from a financial point of view of a business combination with one or more domestic or international businesses affiliated with our officers, directors or existing holders, potential conflicts of interest still may exist and, as a result, the terms of the business combination may not be as advantageous to our public stockholders as they would be absent any conflicts of interest.

Since our sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.

The founder shares and private placement warrants purchased by our sponsor will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. Our sponsor and our directors and executive officers have agreed (A) to vote any shares owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination and (B) not to redeem any founder shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination. In addition, we may obtain loans from our sponsor, affiliates of our sponsor or an officer or director. The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business combination, completing an initial business combination and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination.

Certain shares beneficially owned by our initial stockholders will not participate in liquidating distributions and, therefore, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for our initial business combination.

Our initial stockholders have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and (ii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO. Our initial stockholders have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares they may acquire in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO. Accordingly, the founder shares will be worthless if we do not consummate our initial business combination. Any warrants they hold, like those held by the public, will also be worthless if we do not consummate an initial business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.

We may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete our initial business combination, which may adversely affect our financial condition and thus negatively impact the value of our stockholders’ investment in us.

Although we have no present commitments to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur outstanding debt, we may choose to incur substantial debt to complete our initial business combination. If we incur any indebtedness without a waiver from the lender of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, the incurrence of debt could have a variety of negative effects, including:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after our initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

Index toConsolidated Financial Statements

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt is outstanding;

our inability to pay dividends on our shares of common stock;

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our shares of common stock if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We may only be able to complete one business combination with the proceeds of our initial public offering, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business, which may have a limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability.

The net proceeds from our IPO together with the funds received from the sale of the private placement warrants provided us with $176.0 million that we may use to complete our initial business combination.

We may effectuate our initial business combination with a single target business or multiple target businesses simultaneously. However, we may not be able to effectuate our initial business combination with more than one target business because of various factors, including the existence of complex accounting issues and the requirement that we prepare and file pro forma financial statements with the SEC that present operating results and the financial condition of several target businesses as if they had been operated on a combined basis. By consummating our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities, which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be solely dependent upon the performance of a single business, property or asset, or dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products or services. This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to our initial business combination.

The securities in which we invest the funds held in the trust account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

The proceeds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years,

Index to Financial Statements

and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that we are unable to complete our initial business combination or make certain amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our public stockholders are entitled to receive their prorate share of the proceeds held in the trust account, plus any interest income, net of taxes paid or payable (less, in the case we are unable to complete our initial business combination, $100,000 of interest)Statements). Negative interest rates could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the trust account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholder may be less than $10.20 per public share.

Our placing of funds in the trust account may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective partner businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements, they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our founders will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if our founding team believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not consummated an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.20 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors. Pursuant to the letter agreement filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have 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) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.20 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 our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

We may attempt to simultaneously consummate business combinations with multiple prospective targets, which may hinder our ability to consummate our initial business combination and give rise to increased costs and risks that could negatively impact our operations and profitability.

If we determine to simultaneously acquire several businesses that are owned by different sellers, we will need for each of such sellers to agree that our purchase of its business is contingent on the simultaneous closings of the other business combinations, which may make it more difficult for us, and delay our ability, to complete the initial business combination. With multiple business combinations, we could also face additional risks, including additional burdens and costs with respect to possible multiple negotiations and due diligence investigations (if there are multiple sellers) and the additional risks associated with the subsequent assimilation of the operations and services or products of the acquired companies in a single operating business. If we are unable to adequately address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability and results of operations.

We may attempt to consummate our initial business combination with a private company about which little information is available.

In pursuing our acquisition strategy, we may seek to effectuate our initial business combination with a privately held company. By definition, very little public information exists about private companies, and we could be required to make our decision on whether to pursue a potential initial business combination on the basis of limited information, which may result in our initial business combination with a company that is not as profitable as we suspected, if at all.

We may not be able to maintain control of a target business after our initial business combination.

We may structure our initial business combination to acquire less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business, but we will only consummate such business combination if we will become the majority stockholder of the target (or control the target through contractual arrangements in limited circumstances for regulatory compliance purposes) or are otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act or to the extent permitted by law we may acquire interests in a variable interest entity, in which we may have less than a majority of the voting rights in such entity, but in which we are the primary beneficiary. Even though we may own a majority interest in the target, our stockholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-business combination company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our stockholders immediately prior to such transaction could own less than a majority of our outstanding shares subsequent to such transaction. In addition, other minority stockholders may subsequently combine their holdings resulting in a single person or group obtaining a larger share of the company’s stock than we initially acquired. Accordingly, this may make it more likely that we will not be able to maintain our control of the target business.

We may seek business combination opportunities with a high degree of complexity that require significant operational improvements, which could delay or prevent us from achieving our desired results.

We may seek business combination opportunities with large, highly complex companies that we believe would benefit from operational improvements. While we intend to implement such improvements, to the extent that our efforts are delayed or we are unable to achieve the desired improvements, the business combination may not be as successful as we anticipate.

To the extent we complete our initial business combination with a large complex business or entity with a complex operating structure, we may also be affected by numerous risks inherent in the operations of the business with which we combine, which could delay or prevent us from implementing our strategy. Although our

Index to Financial Statements

management team will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business and its operations, we may not be able to properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors until we complete our business combination. If we are not able to achieve our desired operational improvements, or the improvements take longer to implement than anticipated, we may not achieve the gains that we anticipate. Furthermore, some of these risks and complexities may be outside of our control and leave us with no ability to control or reduce the chances that those risks and complexities will adversely impact a target business. Such combination may not be as successful as a combination with a smaller, less complex organization.

Holders of warrants will not participate in liquidating distributions if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period and we liquidate the funds held in the trust account, the warrants will expire and holders will not receive any of such proceeds with respect to the warrants. The foregoing may provide a financial incentive to public stockholders to vote in favor of any proposed initial business combination as each of their warrants would entitle the holder to receive or purchase additional shares of common stock, resulting in an increase in their overall economic stake in us. If a business combination is not approved, the warrants will expire and will be worthless.

If you exercise your public warrants on a “cashless basis,” you will receive fewer shares of Class A common stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such warrants for cash.

There are circumstances in which the exercise of the public warrants may be required or permitted to be made on a cashless basis. First, if a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Second, if a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of our initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available; if that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. Third, if we call the public warrants for redemption under certain circumstances, holders may exercise warrants on a cashless basis. In the event of an exercise on a cashless basis, a holder would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of shares of Class A common stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of our Class A common stock (defined above) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 per whole warrant, and the number of shares of our Class A common stock received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised the warrant for cash. For example, if the holder is exercising 875 public warrants at $11.50 per share through a cashless exercise when the shares of our Class A common stock have a fair market value of $17.50 per share when there is no effective registration statement, then upon the cashless exercise, the holder will receive 300 shares of our Class A common stock. The holder would have received 875 shares of our Class A common stock if the exercise price was paid in cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in our company because the warrant holder will hold a smaller number of shares of our Class A common stock upon a cashless exercise of the warrants they hold.

An investor will only be able to exercise a warrant for cash if the issuance of common stock upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants.

No public warrants will be exercisable for cash and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless the shares of common stock issuable upon such exercise have been registered or qualified or deemed

Index to Financial Statements

to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. At the time that the warrants become exercisable, we expect to continue to be listed on a national securities exchange, which would provide an exemption from registration in every state. However, we cannot assure you of this fact. If the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants may be deprived of any value, the market for the warrants may be limited and they may expire worthless if they cannot be sold.

Our management’s ability to require holders of our warrants to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis will cause holders to receive fewer shares of common stock upon their exercise of the warrants than they would have received had they been able to exercise their warrants for cash.

If we call our public warrants for redemption when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 after the criteria for such redemption have been satisfied, our management will have the option to require any holders that wishes to exercise their warrant (including any warrants held by our sponsor and/or its permitted transferees) to do so on a “cashless basis.” If our management chooses to require holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, the number of shares of common stock received by a holder upon exercise will be fewer than it would have been had such holder exercised their warrant for cash. This will have the effect of reducing the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in our company.

The warrants may become exercisable and redeemable for a security other than the shares of our Class A common stock, and you will not have any information regarding such other security at this time.

In certain situations, including if we are not the surviving entity in our initial business combination, the warrants may become exercisable for a security other than the shares of our Class A common stock. As a result, if the surviving company redeems your warrants for securities pursuant to the warrant agreement, you may receive a security in a company of which you do not have information at this time. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, the surviving company will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to register the issuance of the security underlying the warrants within twenty business days of the closing of an initial business combination.

We may amend the terms of the warrantsPublic Warrants in a way that may bemanner adverse to holders with the approval by thea holder if holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding public warrants.

Our warrants willPublic Warrants approve of such amendment. Examples of such amendments could be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holderamendments to, cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision. The warrant agreement requires the approval by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding public warrants in order to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders.

We have no obligation to net cash settle the warrants.

In no event will we have any obligation to net cash settle the warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to the warrant holders.

In addition, we have the ability to redeem the outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if, among other things, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and forPublic Warrants in certain issuances of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities). In such a case, the holders will be able to exercise their public warrants prior to redemption for a number of shares of our Class A common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A common stock. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (1) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (2) may not compensate the holders for the value of the public warrants, including because the number of common stock received is capped at 0.361 shares of our Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants. We will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Because each unit contains one-half of one warrant and only a whole warrant may be exercised, the units may be worth less than units of other blank check companies.

Each unit contains one-half of one warrant. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, no fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units, and only whole units will trade. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interestavailable in a share, wetimely manner, on acceptable terms or at all. The issuance of additional securities may adversely affect existing stockholders.

We cannot be certain when or if our operations will round downgenerate sufficient cash to fund our ongoing operations or the nearest whole number of the number of shares of Class A common stock to be issued to the holder. This is different from other offerings similar to ours whose units include one common share and one warrant to purchase one whole share. We have established the components of the units in this way in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of a business combination since the warrants will be exercisable in the aggregate for one half of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a whole warrant to purchase one share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive merger partner for target businesses. Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause our units to be worth less than if it included a warrant to purchase one whole share.

The abilitygrowth of our public stockholders to exercise their redemption rights may not allow us to effectuate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.

If our initial business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay the purchase price, because we will not know how many public stockholders may exercise redemption rights, we may either need to reserve part of the trust account for possible payment upon such redemption, or we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our initial business combination. In the event that the acquisition involves the issuance of our stock as consideration, we may be required to issue a higher percentage of our stockbusiness. We intend to make up

This may limit our abilityrespond to effectuatebusiness challenges, including the most attractive business combination available to us.

In connection with any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public stockholder the option to vote in favor of the proposed business combination and still seek redemption of their shares.

In connection with any meeting held to approve an initial business combination, we will offer each public stockholder (but not our sponsor, officers or directors) the right to have their shares of common stock redeemed for cash (subject to the limitations described elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K) regardless of whether such stockholder votes for or against such proposed business combination; provided that a stockholder must in fact vote for or against a proposed business combination in order to have their shares of common stock redeemed for cash. If a stockholder fails to vote for or against a proposed business combination, that stockholder would not be able to have their shares of common stock so redeemed. We will consummate our initial business combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the business combination. This is different than other similarly structured blank check companies where stockholders are offered the right to redeem their shares only when they vote against a proposed business combination. This threshold and the ability to seek redemption while voting in favor of a proposed business combination may make it more likely that we will consummate our initial business combination.

We will require public stockholders who wish to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with a proposed business combination, or an amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect the substance or timing of their redemption obligation if we fail to timely complete a business combination, to comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.

We will require our public stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” to either (i) tender their certificates to our transfer agent prior to the expiration date set forth in the tender offer documents mailed to such holders, or in the event we distribute proxy materials, up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the business combination or amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem all public shares if we cannot complete an initial business combination or with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, or (ii) deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It isdevelop new features or enhance our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this processsoftware, improve our operating infrastructure or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. While we have been advised that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System, this may not be the case. Under our amendedacquire complementary businesses and restated certificate of incorporation, we are required to provide at least 10 days advance notice of any stockholder meeting, which would be the minimum amount of time a stockholder would have to determine whether to exercise redemption rights. Accordingly, if it takes longer than we anticipate for stockholders to deliver their shares, stockholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their shares.

Index to Financial Statements

Redeeming stockholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the proposed business combination is not approved.

We will require public stockholders who wish to redeem their shares of common stock in connection with any proposed business combination to comply with the delivery requirements discussed above for redemption. If such proposed business combination is not consummated, we will promptly return such certificates to the tendering public stockholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until we have returned their securities to them. The market price for our shares of common stock may decline during this time and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish, even while other stockholders that did not seek redemption may be able to sell their securities.

Because of our structure, other companies may have a competitive advantage and we may not be able to consummate an attractive business combination.

We expect to encounter intense competition from entities other than blank check companies having a business objective similar to ours, including travel and transportation investment funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. Therefore, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses may be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Furthermore, seeking stockholder approval of our initial business combination may delay the consummation of a transaction. Additionally, our rights, and the future dilution they represent (entitling the holders to receive shares of common stock on consummation of our initial business combination), may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of the foregoing may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating our initial business combination.

We may be unable to obtain additionaltechnologies. Additional financing to complete our initial business combination or to fund the operations and growth of a target business, which could compel us to restructure or abandon a particular business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share or even less (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption, and the warrants will expire worthless.

Although we believe that the net proceeds of our IPO will be sufficient to allow us to consummate our initial business combination, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction or our costs to identify and consummate a transaction and to operate the target business. If the net proceeds of our IPO prove to be insufficient for one or more reasons including the size of our initial business combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, the obligation to repurchase for cash a significant number of shares from stockholders who elect redemption in connection with our initial business combination, or the terms of negotiated transactions to purchase shares in connection with our initial business combination, we may be required to seek additional financing or to abandon the proposed business combination. Financing may not be available on acceptablefavorable terms, if at all. The current economic environment may make it especially difficult for companies to obtain acquisition financing. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate our initial business combination,If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we would be compelled to either restructure the transaction or abandon that particular initial business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our public stockholders may only receive $10.20 per share or even less (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) on our redemption, and the warrants will expire worthless. In addition, even if we do not need additional financing to consummate our initial business combination, we may require such financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect

on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our initial business combination.

Our initial stockholders control a substantial interest in us and thus may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.

As of December 31, 2020, our initial stockholders (and/or their designees) collectively owned 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, they may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a stockholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support, including amendments to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. If our initial stockholders purchase any additional shares of common stock in the aftermarket or in privately negotiated transactions, this would increase their control. Neither our sponsor nor, to our knowledge, any of our officers or directors, has any current intention to purchase additional securities. Factors that would be considered in making such additional purchases would include consideration of the current trading price of our shares of common stock.

There is currently no market for our securities and a market for our securities may not develop, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

The price of our securities may vary significantly due to one or more potential business combinations and general market or economic conditions. An active trading market for our securities may never develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. Additionally, if our securities become delisted from Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities not listed on a national exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were listed on Nasdaq or another national exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.

The anchor investors purchased 4,497,000 unitsoperations, including our ability to pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock. If we issue additional equity securities in the future, including pursuant to our IPO, which comprise2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of 26.1%our Class A Common Stock. Because the decision to issue securities in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, stockholders will bear the units sold in our IPO. Such purchasesrisk that future issuances of debt or equity securities will reduce the available public float forvalue of their Class A Common Stock and dilute their interest.

Further, servicing our securities whichexisting and potential future debt, including the Note, may consequently reducerequire a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to satisfy our obligations. In particular, we may not have the trading volume, volatilityability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Note if and liquiditywhen required under the terms of the Note, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to repurchase the Note.

Our securities may not continue toThere can be listed on Nasdaq in the future, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We cannot assure youno assurance that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq or that will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “ISPO” and “ISPOW,” respectively.

Operating as a public company requires us to incur substantial costs and substantial management attention. In addition, key members of our management team have limited experience managing a public company. Further, there can be no assurance that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq or that will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. From February 2022 through September 2023, we received four notices from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with various Nasdaq listing standards, including standards relating to the minimum number of stockholders, failure to file Exchange Act reports in a timely manner, the failure to maintain the minimum trading price of our Class A Common Stock and having a majority of our directors be independent. Although we have been able to regain compliance with each of these standards, our ability to continue to satisfy all relevant standards is uncertain. In addition, in November 2023, we received a notice from Nasdaq that we were no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq listing standard relating to the minimum market value of publicly held shares. Under applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company will have 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until May 28, 2024, to regain compliance by meeting the continued listing requirements.

If Nasdaq delists the Company’s securities from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, the Company and our stockholders could face significant negative consequences including:

limited availability of market quotations for the Company’s securities;

19

a determination that our Class A Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules,
a possible reduction in the level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for shares of our Class A Common Stock;
a limited amount of analyst coverage; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future. Additionally,future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or effective disclosure controls and procedures, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations. Further, the material weaknesses in our internal control may result in challenges related to the completeness and accuracy of data used for internal decision making and external reporting as well as the failure to monitor key performance indicators to understand financial performance and make sound business decisions.

Due to errors in our Consolidated Financial Statements related to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we restated our previously issued condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, which resulted in unanticipated costs and may have adversely affected investor confidence, our stock price, our ability to raise capital in the future and our reputation, and has resulted in stockholder litigation and may result in more stockholder litigation or regulatory actions. In particular, on February 16, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the District of Colorado captioned Keith Koch, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Inspirato Incorporated, Brent Handler, and R. Webster Neighbor to recover damages allegedly caused by violations of federal securities law in connection with the restatements. Other potential plaintiffs may also file additional lawsuits in connection with the restatement. The outcome of any such litigation is uncertain. The defense or settlement of this litigation and any future additional litigation could be time-consuming and expensive, divert the attention of management away from our initialbusiness, and, if any litigation is adversely resolved against us, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Any additional regulatory consequences, litigation, claim or dispute, whether successful or not, could subject us to additional costs, divert the attention of our management, or impair our reputation. Each of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Our principal asset is our controlling interest in Inspirato LLC, and we are dependent upon Inspirato LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries for our results of operations, cash flows and distributions.

We are a holding company and have no material assets other than our ownership of limited liability company interests of Inspirato LLC (the “New Common Units”). As such, we have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay taxes and operating expenses, including payments under the tax receivable agreement discussed below (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”), or declare and pay dividends in the future, if any, are dependent upon the results of operations and cash flows of Inspirato LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and distributions we receive from Inspirato LLC. Subject to the obligation of Inspirato LLC to make tax distributions and to reimburse us for corporate and other overhead expenses, the Inspirato LLC Board will have the right to determine when distributions will be made to the Inspirato LLC unitholders and the amount of any such distributions. If the Inspirato LLC Board authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the Inspirato LLC unitholders, including the Company, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of New Common Units. However, we are not required to distribute any corresponding amounts as dividends to the holders of our Class A Common Stock. Further, because the Company may have liabilities for taxes under the Tax Receivable Agreement or otherwise, any amounts we may distribute as dividends to the holders of our Class A Common Stock could be less on a per share basis than the amounts distributed by Inspirato LLC to the holders of New Common Units on a per unit basis.

20

We are required to pay the Continuing Inspirato Members and Blocker Stockholders for certain tax benefits we may claim, and it is expected that the payments we are required to make may be substantial.

Exchanges or redemptions of New Common Units for cash or shares of our Class A Common Stock are expected to produce favorable tax attributes for the Company. When the Company acquires New Common Units from Members of Inspirato LLC other than blocker corporations affiliated with certain institutional investors (the “Blockers”, and the other Members of Inspirato LLC, the “Continuing Inspirato Members”) through these exchanges or redemptions, anticipated tax basis adjustments are likely to increase (for tax purposes) our depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income tax we would be required to pay in the future in the absence of this increased basis. This increased tax basis may also decrease the gain (or increase the loss) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent the tax basis is allocated to those assets. Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, we generally expect to retain the benefit of 15% of the applicable tax savings after our payment obligations as described below are taken into account.

Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, we generally will be required to pay to the stockholders of the Blockers (the “Blocker Stockholders”) or Continuing Inspirato Members, as applicable, 85% of the tax savings that we realized as a result of increases in tax basis in Inspirato LLC’s assets resulting from the sale of New Common Units for the consideration paid pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (as that term is defined in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements) and the exchange of New Common Units for shares of our Class A Common Stock (or cash), and certain pre-existing tax attributes of the Blocker Stockholders, as well as certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges or redemptions, the price of Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange or redemption, whether such exchanges or redemptions are taxable, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the U.S. federal and state tax rates then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement constituting imputed interest. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are expected to give rise to certain additional tax benefits attributable to either further increases in basis or in the form of deductions for imputed interest, depending on the circumstances. Any such benefits are covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement and will increase the amounts due thereunder.

We anticipate that the payments that we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be substantial. To the extent that we are unable to make timely payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, the unpaid amounts will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid. Nonpayment for a specified period may constitute a material breach of a material obligation under the Tax Receivable Agreement and therefore may accelerate additional payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Furthermore, our future obligation to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that may be deemed realized under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that the Company determines. Although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, to challenge a tax basis increase or other tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, if any subsequent disallowance of tax basis or other benefits were so determined by the IRS, generally it would not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement (although it would reduce future amounts otherwise payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement). As a result, payments could be required under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of the tax savings that the Company realizes in respect of the attributes to which the Tax Receivable Agreement relate.

The amounts that we may be required to pay under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated in certain circumstances and may also significantly exceed the actual tax benefits that we ultimately realize.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that if certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination, Nasdaq may require usor other changes of control were to fileoccur or if, at any time, the Company elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, then the Tax Receivable Agreement will terminate and our obligations, or our successor’s obligations, to make future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and become immediately due and payable. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a new initial listing applicationsubstantial negative impact on our liquidity and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. We cannot assure youcould have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination or other changes of control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet thosefinance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

21

Generally, we will not be reimbursed for any payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the event that any tax benefits are disallowed.

If the IRS challenges the tax basis or other tax attributes that give rise to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the tax basis or other tax attributes are subsequently required to be adjusted, generally the recipients of payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not reimburse us for any payments previously made to them. Instead, any excess cash payments made by the Company under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be netted against any future cash payments that the Company might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, a challenge to any tax benefits initially claimed by the Company may not arise for a number of years following the initial listing requirements attime of such payment or, even if challenged early, such excess cash payment may be greater than the amount of future cash payments that time. If Nasdaq deliststhe Company might otherwise be required to make under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement and, as a result, there might not be future cash payments to net against. The applicable U.S. federal income tax rules are complex and factual in nature, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not disagree with our securities from trading on its exchange,tax reporting positions. As a result, it is possible that we could face significant material adverse consequences,make cash payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are substantially greater than our actual cash tax savings.

Changes in our effective tax rate could harm our future operating results.

The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in the U.S. and in various international jurisdictions. Our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate are subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by several factors, including:

earnings being lower than anticipated in countries that have lower tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries that have higher tax rates;
effects of certain non-tax-deductible expenses, including those arising from the requirement to expense stock-based compensation;
changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;
adverse outcomes resulting from any tax audit, including transfer pricing adjustments with respect to intercompany transactions;
limitations on our ability to utilize our net operating losses and other deferred tax assets; and
changes in accounting principles or changes in tax laws and regulations, or the application of tax laws and regulations, including those relating to income tax nexus or possible U.S. changes to the deductibility of expenses attributable to foreign income or the foreign tax credit rules.

a limited availabilitySignificant judgment is required in the application of market quotations for our securities;

a reduced liquidityaccounting guidance relating to uncertainty with respect to income taxes. If tax authorities challenge our securities;

a determination that our shares of common stock are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our shares of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our shares of common stock;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

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

Index to Financial Statements

Because we must furnish our stockholders with target business financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or international financial reporting standards, we may lose the ability to complete an otherwise advantageous initial business combination with some prospective target businesses.

The federal proxy rules require that a proxy statement with respect to a vote on a business combination meeting certain financial significance tests include historical and/or pro forma financial statement disclosure in periodic reports. These financial statements may be required to be prepared in accordance with, or be reconciled to, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, or international financial reporting standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board or the IASB, depending on the circumstances. Historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or PCAOB. We will include substantially the same financial statement disclosure in connection with any tender offer documents we use, whether or not they are required under the tender offer rules. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses with which we consummate our initial business combination, because some targets may be unable to provide such financial statements in time for us to disclose such financial statements in accordance with federal proxy rules, and hence we may be unable to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may make it more difficult for us to effectuate our initial business combination, require substantial financial and management resources, and increase the time and costs of completing an acquisition.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to all public companies because a target company with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal controls of(including Inspirato LLC’s) tax positions, any such entitychallenges that are settled unfavorably could adversely impact our provision for income taxes. Additionally, as the Inspirato LLC Members continue to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the futureexchange their New Common Units for shares of our Class A common stockCommon Stock, we will be responsible for a greater share of the tax payments due as a result of Inspirato LLC’s operations.

Our structure and intercompany arrangements cause us to be subject to the tax laws of various jurisdictions, and we could be obligated to pay additional taxes, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We generally conduct our international operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries and are or may be required to report our taxable income in various jurisdictions worldwide based upon our business operations in those jurisdictions. Our intercompany relationships are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by tax authorities in various jurisdictions. The amount of taxes we pay in different jurisdictions may depend on the application of the tax laws of such jurisdictions, including the U.S., to our international business activities, changes in tax rates, new or revised tax laws, interpretations of existing tax laws and policies and our ability to operate our business in a manner consistent with our structure and intercompany arrangements. The relevant tax authorities may disagree with our determinations as to the income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. If such a disagreement were to occur, and our position was not sustained, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.

22

If existing tax laws, rules or regulations are amended, or if new unfavorable tax laws, rules or regulations are enacted, including with respect to occupancy, sales, value-added, excise, withholding or revenue-based taxes, unclaimed property or other tax laws applicable to multinational businesses, the results of these changes could increase our tax liabilities. Possible outcomes include double taxation, multiple levels of taxation, or additional obligations, prospectively or retrospectively, including the potential imposition of interest and penalties. If such costs are passed on to our members, demand for our products and services could decrease, or there could be increased costs to update or expand our technical or administrative infrastructure, or the scope of our business activities could be effectively limited should we decide not to conduct business in particular jurisdictions.

We are subject to federal, state and local income, sales and other taxes in the U.S. and income, withholding, transaction and other taxes in numerous foreign jurisdictions. Evaluating our tax positions and our worldwide provision for taxes is complicated and requires exercising significant judgment. During the ordinary course of business, there are many activities and transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, our tax obligations and effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the relevant tax, accounting and other laws, regulations, principles, and interpretations. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of any tax audits or litigation could differ materially from our historical tax provisions and accruals, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the period or periods for which a determination is made. There is also a high level of uncertainty in today’s tax environment stemming from both global initiatives and unilateral measures being implemented by various countries due to a lack of consensus on these global initiatives.

Tax authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected, or in the future should collect, sales and use, value added or similar taxes, and we could be subject to substantial liabilities with respect to past or future sales, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently collect and remit applicable sales taxes and other applicable transfer taxes in jurisdictions where we, through our employees or economic activity, have a presence and where we have determined, based on applicable legal precedents, that our business activities are classified as taxable. We do not currently collect and remit state and local excise, utility user, or ad valorem taxes, fees or surcharges in jurisdictions where we believe we do not have sufficient “nexus.” The application of indirect taxes, such as sales and use, value added, goods and services, business, and gross receipts taxes, to businesses that transact online, such as ours, is a complex and evolving area. There is uncertainty as to what constitutes sufficient nexus for a state or local jurisdiction to levy taxes, fees and surcharges on sales made over the Internet, and there is also uncertainty as to whether our characterization of our traveler accommodations in certain jurisdictions will be accepted by state and local tax authorities. It is possible that we could face indirect tax audits and that one or more states, local jurisdictions or foreign tax authorities could seek to impose additional indirect or other tax collection and record-keeping obligations on us or may determine that such taxes should have, but have not been, paid by us.

There are substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with the various indirect tax requirements in the numerous markets in which we conduct or may conduct business. The application of existing or future indirect tax laws, whether in the U.S. or internationally, or the failure to collect and remit such taxes, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Data Privacy

We face risks related to our intellectual property.

Our intellectual property is important to our success, and we rely on domain name registrations, registered and unregistered trademarks, copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our employees, third party providers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. We have also applied for patent rights with respect to certain aspects of our technology. We endeavor to defend our intellectual property rights diligently, but intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming and may divert managerial attention and resources from our business objectives. We may not be able to successfully defend our intellectual property rights, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, brand and results of operations.

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect that third parties will continue to assert intellectual property claims, in particular trademark claims, against us. Successful claims against us could result in a significant monetary liability or prevent us from operating our business or portions of our business. In addition, resolution of claims may require us to obtain licenses to use intellectual property rights belonging to third parties, which may be expensive to procure, or to cease using those rights altogether. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

23

Our technology contains third-party open-source software components, and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open-source software licenses could restrict our ability to operate as intended or could increase our costs.

Certain of our owned and third-party technology contains software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open-source” licenses. Use and distribution of open-source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise or copy our technology.

Some open-source licenses contain requirements that could obligate us to make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the type of open-source software we use or grant other licenses to our intellectual property. If we combine our proprietary software with open-source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain open-source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software to the public. This may allow our competitors to create similar offerings with lower development time and effort and ultimately could result in a loss of our competitive advantages. Alternatively, to avoid the public release of the affected portions of our source code, we could be required to expend substantial time and resources to re-engineer some or all of our software.

Although we monitor our use of open-source software to avoid subjecting our technology to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open-source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide or distribute our technology. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the use of open-source software against companies that incorporate open-source software into their solutions. As a result, we could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming violation by us of the terms of an open-source license or ownership of what such parties believe to be their open-source software. Moreover, we cannot provide assurance that our processes for controlling our use of open-source software in our technology will be effective. If we are held to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open-source software license, we could face infringement or other liability or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing our offerings on terms that may not be economically feasible, re-engineer our technology, discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our storage, use, disclosure and other processing of personal data exposes us to risks of internal or external security incidents and breaches and could entrench management.give rise to liabilities and/or damage to reputation.

The security of data when engaging in electronic commerce is essential to maintaining consumer confidence. Among other things, we may collect members’ credit card data, proof of identity and other Personal Identifiable Information (“PII”) as part of our business process. Additionally, we collect and process other personal information, such as the PII of our employees and contractors, and we process and maintain other confidential and proprietary information, such as our confidential and proprietary business information. Cyberattacks and other attempts to obtain unauthorized access to systems or data by individuals, groups of hackers and state-sponsored organizations are increasing in frequency and sophistication and are constantly evolving. Because our members are generally high-income or high net-worth individuals, we may be particularly attractive as a target for cyberattacks and other attacks. Security incidents and breaches may also occur due to misuse or misappropriation of members’ PII by employees or third-party contractors. Additionally, we make use of third-party service providers to store and otherwise process data on our behalf, and they face similar risks of security incidents and breaches and may suffer from security vulnerabilities or malicious code and may introduce them to our systems. Any security incident, breach or other cyberattack, whether instigated internally or externally on our systems or third-party systems, or the perception that any such breach or incident has occurred, could significantly harm our reputation and therefore our business, brand, market share and results of operations. It is possible that computer circumvention capabilities, new discoveries or advances (e.g., Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)) or other developments, including our own acts or omissions, could result in a compromise of systems used in our business or a security incident or breach impacting member data or other data stored or processed by us or on our behalf. For example, malicious actors may attempt to fraudulently induce employees, contractors, travel service provider partners or consumers to disclose usernames, passwords or other sensitive information (“phishing”), which may in turn be used to access our information technology systems, defraud our partners or members, encrypt our systems so they cannot be used until we pay a ransom (“ransomware”) or use our processing power for the mining of cryptocurrencies (“cryptojacking”). Third parties may also attempt to take over members’ accounts by using passwords, usernames and other personal information obtained elsewhere (“social engineering”). We have experienced targeted and organized phishing and social engineering attacks and may experience more in the future. These risks are likely to increase as we expand our business and store and process more data, including personal information. Our efforts to protect information from unauthorized access may be unsuccessful or may result in the rejection

24

of legitimate attempts to book reservations, each of which could result in lost business and have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and results of operations.

Our amendedexisting security measures may not be successful in preventing security incidents or breaches. A party (whether internal, external, an affiliate or unrelated third party) that is able to circumvent our security systems could gain unauthorized access to our systems and restated certificatesteal, modify, encrypt or otherwise render unavailable, destroy, disclose or otherwise without authorization process member information, transaction data or other information. In the last several years, major companies experienced high-profile security breaches that exposed their systems and information and/or their consumers’ or employees’ PII, and it is expected that these types of incorporation contains provisionsevents will continue to occur. It is virtually impossible for us to eliminate these risks, particularly as the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks increases. For example, cybersecurity researchers have warned of potential increases in cyberattack activity in connection with Russia’s activities in Ukraine. Additionally, the security risks we and our third-party service providers face are heightened by many of our respective employees and service providers working remotely. Security incidents or breaches, including ransomware attacks and other cyberattacks and attacks introducing other types of malicious code, could result in severe disruptions of and damage to our information technology infrastructure, including damage that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may considercould impair our ability to be in their best interests. These provisions include a staggered board of directors andbook stays, collect payments or otherwise operate our business, or the ability of consumers to make reservations or access our properties or in-room features and services, as well as loss or other unauthorized processing of member, financial or other data that could materially and adversely affect our ability to conduct our business or satisfy our commercial obligations. Cybersecurity incidents or breaches, or the boardperception that any of directorsthese has occurred, could also result in negative publicity, damage our reputation, expose us to designate the termsrisk of loss or litigation and issue new seriespossible liability, subject us to regulatory investigations and other proceedings, penalties and sanctions or cause consumers to lose confidence in our security and not use our services, any of preferred stock, which may make more difficulthave a negative effect on our brand, market share, results of operations and financial condition. Our insurance policies have coverage limits which may not be adequate to reimburse us for all losses caused by security incidents or breaches.

We also face risks associated with security incidents and breaches affecting third parties conducting business over the removalInternet. Consumers generally are concerned with security and privacy on the Internet, and any publicized security problems could negatively affect consumers’ willingness to provide private information or affect online commercial transactions generally. Additionally, our members could be affected by security incidents and breaches at third parties such as travel service providers. A security incident or breach impacting any such third party could be perceived by consumers as a security breach or incident impacting our systems and could result in negative publicity, subject us to notification requirements, damage our reputation, expose us to risk of managementloss or litigation and possible liability and subject us to regulatory penalties and sanctions. In addition, such third parties may not comply with applicable disclosure requirements, which could expose us to liability.

If we fail to comply with federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, we may face potentially significant liability, negative publicity and an erosion of trust, and increased regulation could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In our processing of travel transactions and information about members and their stays, we receive and store data, including personal data and other data relating to individuals. Numerous federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relate to privacy, data protection, information security and the storing, sharing, use, transfer, disclosure protection and other processing of personal information and other content, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may discourage transactions that otherwisebe inconsistent among jurisdictions or conflict with other rules. These laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security are evolving and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) promulgated by the European Union (the “EU”) provides for penalties for noncompliance of up to the greater of €20 million or four percent of worldwide annual revenues. The Court of Justice of the European Union (“the CJEU”) decision to not recognize the U.S. – EU Privacy Shield and other future legal challenges also could involve payment ofresult in Inspirato being required to implement duplicative, and potentially expensive, information technology infrastructure and business operations or could limit our ability to collect or process personal information in Europe or other regions, may necessitate additional contractual negotiations and may serve as a premium over prevailing market pricesbasis for our securities.personal data handling practices, or those of our service providers or other third parties we work with, to be challenged. Any of these or other changes or developments impacting cross-border data transfers could disrupt our business and otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

The number of data protection laws globally is rising as more jurisdictions explore new or updated comprehensive data protection regimes or propose or enact other laws or regulations addressing local storage of data or other matters.

In the U.S., the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”) went into effect on January 1, 2020. Among other things, the CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers and afford such consumers new abilities to access and delete their personal information and to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”), which became effective January 1, 2023, significantly modifies the CCPA and further aligns California privacy laws with the GDPR.

Similar legislation has been proposed or adopted in other states. For example, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut have all enacted omnibus privacy legislation that went into effect in 2023. These state laws in Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Connecticut share similarities with the CCPA, CPRA and legislation proposed in other states. Aspects of the CCPA, the CPRA and these other state laws and regulations, as well as their enforcement, remain unclear. Additionally, the U.S. federal government is contemplating data security and privacy legislation.

We will need to closely monitor developments, including enforcement actions or private litigation under the GDPR, CCPA, CPRA and other laws to determine whether we will need to modify our data processing practices and policies, which may result in us incurring additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply.

We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together these provisions may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee to us or our

Index to Financial Statements

stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us, our directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, except any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or (D) any action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as to which the Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall have concurrent jurisdiction. If an action is brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that this provision is unenforceable, and to the extent it is enforceable, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years. However, if either our non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period, or our revenues exceed $1.07 billion, or the market valueterms of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would ceaseprivacy policies and contractual obligations to be an emerging growth company as of the following fiscal year. As an emerging growth company, we (i) are not required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (iii) are exempt from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and obtaining 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, will not adopt the new or revised standard until the time private companies are required to adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We cannot predict if investors will find our shares less attractive because we may rely on these provisions. If some investors find our shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile.

Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss.

We may face risks related to businesses in the travelprivacy, data protection and transportation industries.

Business combinations with businesses in the travelinformation security and transportation industries entail special considerations and risks. If we are successful in completing a business combination with such a target business, we may be subject to other actual or asserted obligations, including industry standards, relating to privacy, data protection and possibly adversely affected by,information security. We strive to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies and other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security to the following risks:

extent possible. However, the severity, extentregulatory frameworks for privacy, data protection and duration of the global COVID-19 pandemicinformation security worldwide are evolving rapidly, and its impact on the travel industry and consumer spending more broadly, the actions taken to contain the spread of the disease or treat its impact, the effect of remote working arrangements and the speed and extent of the recovery across the broader travel ecosystem;

an inability to attract and retain customers;

an inability to license or enforce intellectual property rights on which a target business may depend; and

reliance on third-partyAdditionally, if third parties we work with, such as subprocessors, vendors or service providers.

Any of the foregoing coulddevelopers, violate applicable laws or regulations, contractual obligations or our policies, or if it is perceived that such violations have occurred, such actual or perceived violations may also have an adverse impacteffect on our operations following a business combination. However, our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limitedbusiness. Further, any significant change to the travel and transportation industries. Accordingly, if we acquire a target business in another industry, we will be subject to risks attendant with the specific industry in which we operate or target business we acquire, which may or may not be different than those risks listed above.

An investment in our securities may result in uncertain or adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

An investment in our securities may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences. For instance, because there are no authorities that directly address instruments similar to our units, the allocation a holder of a

Index to Financial Statements

unit makes with respect to the purchase price of a unit between the share of Class A common stock and the one-half of one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our Class A common stock included in each unit could be challenged by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Furthermore, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of warrants included in the units we issued in our IPO is unclear under current law, and the adjustment to the exercise price and/or redemption price of the warrants could give rise to dividend income to investors without a corresponding payment of cash. Finally, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to our shares of common stock suspend the running of a U.S. holder’s holding period for purposes of determining whether any gain or loss realized by such holder on the sale or exchange of common stock is long-term capital gain or loss and for determining whether any dividend we pay would be considered “qualified dividends” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors with respect to these and other tax consequences applicable to their specific circumstances when purchasing, holding or disposing of our securities.

Risks Associated with Acquiring and Operating a Business Outside of the United States

We may effect our initial business combination with a company located outside of the United States.

If we effect our initial business combination with a company located outside of the United States, we would be subject to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in the target business’ home jurisdiction, including any of the following:

Security measures, no matter how well designed or implemented, may only mitigate and regulations that are unclearnot fully eliminate risks, and subjectsecurity events, when detected by security tools or third parties, may not always be immediately understood or acted upon. Our reliance on computer, Internet-based, and mobile systems and communications, and the frequency and sophistication of efforts by third parties to corruptiongain unauthorized access or prevent authorized access to such systems, have greatly increased in recent years. Our increased reliance on cloud-based services and inexperience.

Rulesreputation and regulations in many countries are often ambiguous or open to differing interpretation by responsible individuals and agencies at the municipal, state, regional and federal levels. The attitudes and actions of such individuals and agencies are often difficult to predict and inconsistent.

Delay with respect to the enforcement of particular rules and regulations, including those relating to customs, tax, environmental and labor, could cause serious disruption to operations abroad and negatively impact our results.

If relations between the United States and foreign governments deteriorate, it could cause potential target businesses or their goods and services to become less attractive.

The relationship between the United States and foreign governments could be subject to sudden fluctuation and periodic tension. For instance, the United States may announce its intention to impose quotas on certain imports. Such import quotas may adversely affect political relations between the two countries and result in retaliatory countermeasures bylegal, regulatory and other consequences, including remedial and other expenses, fines, or litigation.

If our management following our initial business combination is unfamiliar with United States securities laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws.

Following our initial business combination, our management may resign from their positions as officers or directors of the company and the management of the target business at the time of the business combination will remain in place. Management of the target business may not be familiar with United States securities laws. If new management is unfamiliar with our laws, they may have to expend time and resources becoming familiar with such laws. This could be expensive and time-consuming andsystems, could lead to various regulatory issues,future interruptions in, or other adverse effects on, the operation of our systems or those of our service providers or other third parties. This could result in operational interruptions and/or outages and a loss of profits, as well as negative publicity and other adverse effects on our business,

including lost sales, loss of consumer confidence, boycotts, reduced enrollment and/or participation in our loyalty program, litigation, diminished satisfaction, and/or retention and recruiting difficulties, all of which may adverselycould materially affect our operations.

Currency policies may cause a target business’ ability to succeed in the international markets to be diminished.

In the event we acquire a non-U.S. target, all revenues and income would likely be received in a foreign currency, the dollar equivalent of our net assets and distributions, if any, could be adversely affected by reductions in the value of the local currency. The value of the currencies in our target regions fluctuate and are affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Any change in the relative value of such currency against our reporting currency may affect the attractiveness of any targetmarket share, reputation, business, or, following consummation of our initial business combination, our financial condition and operating results.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

The Company understands the importance of preventing, assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats. Cybersecurity processes to manage risks from cybersecurity threats have been incorporated as a part of the Company’s overall risk assessment process. These cybersecurity processes, technologies, and controls to assess, identify, and manage material risks have been incorporated into our operations.

To manage our material risks from cybersecurity threats and to protect against, detect, and prepare to respond to cybersecurity incidents, and claims we undertake the below listed activities:

Monitor emerging cybersecurity and data protection laws and implement changes to our processes to comply;
Conduct periodic customer data handling and use requirement training for our employees;
Conduct annual cybersecurity management and incident training for employees involved in our systems and processes that handle sensitive data;
Conduct regular phishing email simulations for all employees;
Carry cyber liability insurance that provides resources and protection against potential losses arising from a cybersecurity incident; and
Maintain a Technical Review Committee which evaluates all third-party technology partners, including their security posture and controls, before we engage with them.

Our incident response plan coordinates the activities that we and our cyber liability insurance carrier and associated services e.g., incident response team, breach coach, forensics, etc. take to prepare, respond, and recover from cybersecurity incidents, which include processes to assess severity, investigate, escalate, contain, and remediate an incident, as well as to comply with potentially applicable legal obligations and mitigate brand and reputational damage.

We describe whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats have or that are reasonably likely to affect our financial position, results of operations.

Because foreign law could govern our material agreements, we may not be able to enforce our rights within such jurisdiction or elsewhere.Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Foreign law could govern our material agreements. The target business may not be able to enforce any of its material agreements and remedies may not be available outside of such foreign jurisdiction’s legal system. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws and contracts in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The judiciaries in certain foreign countries may be relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. Any such jurisdictions may not favor outsiders or could be corrupt. As a result, the inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business and business opportunities.

This section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We10-K generally discusses 2022 and 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2023. Discussions of 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2022 are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 31, 2020. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, or the initial business combination. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Index to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2020, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 relates to our formation and our IPO. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the consummation of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. We have selected December 31 as our fiscal year end.

Our sponsor is Thayer Ventures Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on December 10, 2020. On December 15, 2020, we closed the IPO and issued 17,250,000 units, which included 2,250,000 additional units to cover an over-allotment option we granted to the underwriters, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $172.5 million, and incurring offering costs of $9.2 million, inclusive of $6.9 million in deferred underwriting commissions and net of reimbursement from underwriters of $1.7 million. We refer to the shares of Class A common stock included in the units as the public shares.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated a private placement of 7,175,000 warrants, at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to our sponsor, generating proceeds of $7.2 million.

Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, $176.0 million ($10.20 per unit) of the net proceeds of the IPO and certain of the proceeds from the private placement were placed in a trust account located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, which will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, 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.

If we are unable to complete a business combination before June 15, 2022, which is 18 months from the closing of our IPO, and our stockholders have not amended our certificate of incorporation to extend such date, 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to December 15, 2020 was related to our formation and IPO. Since the IPO, our activity has been limited to the search for a prospective initial business combination target. We will not generate any operating revenues until the consummation of our initial business combination. We expect to incur increased 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 period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had net loss of $192,000, which consisted of $109,000 in general and administrative expenses, $84,000 in franchise tax expense, offset by $325 in interest and investment income in the Trust Account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, we had $1.2 million outside of the trust account and $1.4 million of working capital, excluding amount of franchise tax payable.

Index to Financial Statements

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from our sponsor to cover certain on our IPO in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares, and loan proceeds from the sponsor of $400,000 under a promissory note. We repaid the promissory note in full on December 15, 2020, concurrent with the closing of our IPO. Subsequent to the closing of the IPO, our liquidity needs have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO and the private placement that are held outside of the trust account.

Based on the foregoing, we believe that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity from our sponsor, or an affiliate of our sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors, to meet our needs through the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or one year from the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Over this time period, we intend to use these funds to pay existing accounts payable, identify and evaluate prospective initial business combination candidates, perform due diligence on prospective target businesses, pay for travel expenditures, select a target business to merge with or acquire, and structure, negotiate and consummate the initial business combination.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization, or WHO, announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, our ability to complete an initial business combination, may be adversely affected due to significant governmental measures being implemented to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or treat its impact, including travel restrictions, the shutdown of businesses and quarantines, among others, which may limit our ability to have meetings with potential investors or affect the ability of a potential target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers to negotiate and consummate an initial business combination in a timely manner. Our ability to consummate an initial business combination may also depend on our ability to raise additional equity and debt financing, which may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the founder shares and private placement warrants are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement we entered into in connection with our IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that we register such securities, subject to specified conditions. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of the business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. However, the registration rights agreement provides that we will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were entitled to an underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or $3.45 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the IPO. The underwriters also made a payment to us in an amount equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $1.7 million in the aggregate to reimburse certain of our expenses.

An additional fee of $0.40 per unit, or $6.9 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred underwriting commissions will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that we complete our initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Index to Financial Statements

Deferred Consulting Fees

In September 2020, we entered into an engagement letter with a consultant to obtain advisory services in connection with our search for a business combination target, pursuant to which we agreed to pay a $10,000 initial fee upon execution and a deferred success fee of $50,000 upon the consummation of our initial business combination.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Investments Held in Trust Account

Our portfolio of investments held in trust is comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. Our investments held in the trust account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these investments are included in net gain from investments held in trust account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the trust account are determined using available market information.

Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including shares of Class A common stock 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, assuming the payment of deferred underwriting commissions of $6.9 million and the closing of our initial business combination, 16,210,906 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at the redemption amount were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Stock

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO and the private placement to purchase an aggregate of 15,800,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per common share is the same as basic earnings per common share for the period presented.

Our statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net loss per common stock, basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the net gain on investments held in the Trust Account of approximately $325, net of applicable income and franchise taxes of approximately $325 for the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, respectively, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the periods. Net loss per common stock, basic and diluted for Class B common stock for the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 is calculated by dividing the net loss of approximately $192,000, less net income attributable to Class A common stock of approximately $0, resulting in a net loss of approximately $192,000, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.

JOBS Act

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or 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 have elected 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 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. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of Class A common stock that is held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Controls and Procedures.

EvaluationCondition and Results of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

AsOperations” in Part II, Item 7 of December 31, 2020, management, with the participation of ourCo-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of for the SEC for newly public companies.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three monthsfiscal year ended December 31, 20202022.

This discussion includes both historical information and forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that hasinvolve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As of December 31, 2020, we had seven directors. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amendedunder the sections titled “Risk Factors” and restated certificate of incorporation as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our officers may consist of one or more chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Applicable rules of the Nasdaq require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which“Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors has determined that H. Charles Floyd, Ren Riley, Lawrence M. Kutscher, Caroline Shin and R. David Edelman are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are, subject to the transition rules described above for newly listed companies.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A of the Exchange Act require

Index to Financial Statements

that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charters for each committee are available at the investor relations section of our website at www.thayerventures.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report and you shouldon Form 10-K. Our historical results are not consider information on or accessible through our website to be part of this Annual Report.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committeenecessarily indicative of the board of directors. Ren Riley, Caroline Shin and Lawrence M. Kutscher serve as members of our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Ren Riley, Caroline Shin and Lawrence M. Kutscher are independent. Ren Riley serves as the Chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq and our board of directors has determined that Ren Riley qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The audit committee is responsible for:

meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of this offering and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of this offering; and

reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing stockholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

Director Nominations

We do not have a standing nominating committee though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the

Index to Financial Statements

board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who will participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are H. Charles Floyd, Ren Riley, Lawrence M. Kutscher, Caroline Shin and R. David Edelman. In accordance with Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders. They should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service; should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the stockholders.

The board of directors will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The board of directors may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are Caroline Shin, R. David Edelman, and Ren Riley and Caroline Shin serves as chairman of the compensation committee.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Caroline Shin, R. David Edelman, and Ren Riley are independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

Index to Financial Statements

producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available at the investor relations section of our website at www.thayerventures.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report, and you should not consider information on or accessible through our website to be part of this Annual Report. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Conflicts of Interest

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

it would not be fair to our company and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity, including private funds under the management of Thayer Ventures and their respective portfolio companies, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. In addition, existing and future funds managed by Thayer Ventures and their respective portfolio companies may compete with us for business combination opportunities and, if such opportunities are pursued by such entities, we may be precluded from pursuing such opportunities. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and may only decide to present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity and consummating the same would not violate any restrictive covenants to which such officers and directors are subject. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may pursue an Affiliated Joint Acquisition opportunity with an entity to which an officer or director has a fiduciary or contractual obligation. Any such entity may co-invest with us in the target business at the time of our initial business combination, or we could raise additional proceeds to complete the acquisition by issuing to such entity a class of equity or equity-linked securities. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the company and such opportunity is one we are

legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is permitted to refer that opportunity to us without violating another legal obligation. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to identify and pursue business combination opportunities or to complete our initial business combination.

Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

Our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and any public shares held by them in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares held by them if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months after the closing of this offering. However, if our initial stockholders acquire public shares in or after this offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering. If we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants held in the trust account will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement warrants will expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable by our initial stockholders (or any other permitted assigns, if any) until the earlier of: (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of our shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. With certain limited exceptions, the private placement warrants and the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants, will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our sponsor or its permitted transferees until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Since our sponsor and officers and directors may directly or indirectly own common stock and warrants following this offering, our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to complete our initial business combination.

Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

Our sponsor, officers or directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements as we may obtain loans from our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or any of our officers or directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period.

The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our sponsor, officers or directors or completing the business combination through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a business combination target that is affiliated with our sponsor, executive officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking that is a member of FINRA or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an

Index to Financial Statements

opinion in any other context. Furthermore, in no event will our sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, be paid by the company any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our initial business combination. Our office space and administrative and support services will be provided to us for $20,000 per month by our sponsor commencing on the date of our IPO.

In the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public stockholders for a vote, our sponsor has agreed to vote any founder shares held by it and any public shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination and our officers and directors have also agreed to vote any public shares purchased during or after the offering in favor of our initial business combination.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons. Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all reports applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation.

Executive Officer and Director Compensation

None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made from funds held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid byexpected for any period in the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or

Index to Financial Statements

all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The following is a summary of transactions since our formation on July 31, 2020, to which we have been a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets as of December 31, 2020, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Founder Shares

On August 11, 2020, our sponsor subscribed to purchase 5,031,250 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the founder shares, for an aggregate price of $25,000. On August 13, 2020, our sponsor paid $25,000 for certain offering costs on our behalfcontext otherwise requires, references in exchange for the issuance of the founder shares. On October 27, 2020, 718,750 founder shares were contributed back to us for no consideration, resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares issued and outstanding. On November 9, 2020, our Sponsor transferred 25,000 founder shares to each of the independent directors. The initial stockholders agreed to forfeit up to 562,500 founder shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the founder shares would represent 20.0% of our issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. The underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full on December 15, 2020; thus, these 562,500 founder shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial stockholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the founder shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the shares of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the initial stockholders with respect to any founder shares .

Index to Financial Statements

Private Placement Shares

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we issued 7,175,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per private placement warrant to our sponsor, generating proceeds of $7.2 million.

Each private placement warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants to our sponsor was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the trust account. If we do not complete our initial business combination prior to 18 months from our IPO, the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants are non-redeemable for cash and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

The purchasers of the private placement warrants agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their private placement warrants (except to permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.

Related Party Loans

On August 11, 2020, our sponsor agreed to loan us up to $400,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of the completion of the initial public offering or the date we determine not to conduct an initial public offering. We borrowed $400,000 under the promissory note, and on December 15, 2020, we repaid the promissory note in full.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required, or the working capital loans. If we complete a business combination, we will repay the working capital loans out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. Otherwise, the working capital loanswill be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the working capital loansbut no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the working capital loans. The working capital loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such working capital loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. 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. As of December 31, 2020, we had no borrowings under the working capital loans.

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the date of the IPO and continuing until the earlier of our consummation of a business combination and our liquidation, we will pay our sponsor $20,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services. No charges were incurred as of December 31, 2020.

Our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations targets. Our audit committee will review, on a quarterly basis, all payments that are made to our sponsor, executive officers or directors, or their affiliates.

Three qualified institutional buyers not affiliated with our sponsor or any member of our management team purchased 4,497,000 units in our IPO, which comprised 26.1% of the units sold in the IPO. In consideration of providing these significant indications of interest, our anchor investors purchased a membership interest in our sponsor, for nominal consideration, entitling them to an aggregate interest in up to 13.6% of our sponsor, subject to adjustment if our anchor investors do not hold a minimum number of shares of Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination.

Index to Financial Statements

Pursuant to each anchor investor’s subscription agreement with our sponsor, the anchor investors have not been granted any material additional stockholder or other rights and were issued a membership interest in our sponsor with no right to control our sponsor or vote or dispose of the anchor founder shares held by our sponsor. Further, the anchor investors are not required to: (i) hold any units, Class A common stock or warrants they purchased in our initial public offering or thereafter for any amount of time, (ii) vote any Class A common stock they may own at the applicable time in favor of our initial business combination or (iii) refrain from exercising their right to redeem their Class A common stock at the time of our initial business combination.

In the event that the anchor investors vote in favor of our initial business combination, a smaller portion of affirmative votes from other public stockholders would be required to approve our initial business combination.

Sponsor Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1.5 million of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 26, 2023, our stockholders approved a proposal to adopt a series of Related Party Transactions

The audit committeealternative amendments to our certificate of incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements). Our Board subsequently approved a final reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-20 of our boardClass A Common Stock, Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and Class V Common Stock.

Net-rate hotel partners are excluded from Hotel Occupancy as these are dependent on the hotel having capacity for Inspirato requests.

We monitor (i) paid nights delivered as a percentage of total nights delivered, (ii) ADR and (iii) Occupancy for our residences and leased hotels as we bear the financial responsibility in these properties and can more closely control both the nightly rates and costs as compared to the completionour net-rate hotel partners. Average rates at our hotel partners are typically lower than our residences, as our residences are typically larger and accommodate more guests than hotel rooms and suites.

The certifications attachedExcludes net-rate hotel nights as Exhibits 32.1we purchase individual nights but do not have a total number of nights obligation.

Travel revenue is generally recognized when travel occurs. Amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until recognized when travel occurs. We derive our travel revenue by charging a nightly rate for stays at our portfolio of residence and hotels. For residence and hotel trips, a service charge is also included. Travel revenue also includes amounts collected from fees when a trip is cancelled. A portion of travel revenue comes from customers who do not have Subscriptions; these customers include IFG and IFB customers as well as individuals who receive trial subscriptions under promotions with partners, such as Exclusive Resorts. We also earn revenue from Inspirato Only experiences and Bespoke trips.

Our travel revenue and operating results are impacted by the number of trips that we are able to deliver to our members as well as the rates we charge for stays. Our revenue management team establishes nightly rates to optimize desired occupancy and revenue.

Other Factors Affecting Our Performance and Trends and Uncertainties

We believe that the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors, including those from the Key Business Factors discussed above. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we have to successfully address in order to continue to grow our business and further improve our results of operations.

Cost and Expense Management

Cost of revenue includes costs directly related to delivering travel to our members as well as depreciation and amortization related to leasehold improvements and equipment at residences. These direct costs include payments for properties we lease, operating and maintenance costs of those properties, including on-site service personnel costs, costs paid to our hotel partners for member stays, and booking costs from Inspirato Only experiences and Bespoke trips. We generally expect cost of revenue to vary as a percentage of revenue from period to period based on the number of properties that we have under lease, and the mix of subscription and travel revenue that we earn. We expect cost of revenue to decrease in the near-term as we reduce our portfolio of properties.

Our operating results are impacted by our ability to manage these costs and expenses and achieve a balance between making investments to retain and grow members and driving increased profitability. We are working on finding more opportunities to enhance gross margin and operate more efficiently, including reducing costs by taking additional operational and portfolio optimization

33

actions. We conducted a 12% workforce reduction in January of 2023 and a further 6% workforce reduction in July of 2023 in order to further manage costs.

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions

The travel industry is affected by economic cycles and trends. Travel is typically discretionary and may be affected by negative trends in the economy. Adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions have impacted our business and may impact us in future periods. In recent periods, we have been affected by, among other things, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the war between Israel and Hamas, inflation, labor shortages, fluctuations in fuel prices, changes in governmental regulations, safety concerns, foreign currency fluctuations, rising interest rates and reduced consumer confidence resulting in lower consumer spending.

Seasonality

Our travel revenues are seasonal, reflecting typical travel behavior patterns of travelers over the course of the calendar year. In a typical year, the first, third, and fourth quarters have higher travel revenues than the second quarter. Our subscription services are seasonal to the extent that interest from potential new members tends to also follow travel revenue. However, revenues from existing members are not impacted by seasonality.

Our results, including total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow (as defined below), are impacted by the timing of holidays and other events. Holidays and other events generally increase the rates we are able to charge for travel which results in higher gross margin. The majority of our costs are relatively fixed across quarters.

Travel revenue decreased by $8.7 million from $198.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $190.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 4%, primarily as a result of a 3% decrease in paid nights delivered resulting in a $6.2 million decrease to travel revenue as well as a 1% decrease in the ADR recognized for those paid nights resulting in a $2.5 million decrease to travel revenue.

Subscription revenue decreased by $8.0 million from $145.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $137.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 6%, primarily as a result of decreases in Pass and Legacy Subscription revenue of $10.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in IFG/IFB and Club Subscription revenue of $5.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Pass and Legacy Subscription revenue decreases were driven primarily by a 31% and 16%, respectively, decrease in the number of Subscriptions, each of which was partially offset by an increase in the revenue recognized per Subscription. The number of Legacy Subscriptions will remain flat or decrease in future periods as we no longer offer Legacy Subscriptions. The Club Subscription revenue increase is primarily from a 10% increase in the number of Subscriptions partially offset by a decrease in the recognized revenue per Subscription. The $5.6 million increase in Subscription revenue from IFG/IFB are from the launch of the program in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d)full year of the Securities Exchange Actprogram in 2023.

Rewards and other revenue increased by $0.3 million. The increase was primarily the result of 1934,estimated usage and breakage related to Rewards, our member loyalty program, which was launched in August of 2023.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased $5.5 from $228.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $233.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 2%. This increase was primarily a result of net increases in lease costs of $7.5 million due to an increase in the number of property leases entered into prior to 2023 for which lease terms commenced during 2023, partially offset by decreases in booking fees of $5.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 as amended,compared to the registrant has duly causedyear ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, depreciation expense included in cost of revenue increased $3.9 million from $2.2 million to $6.1 million.

Asset impairments. Asset impairments increased $39.9 million from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $40.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified 63 leases for which the right-of-use assets and related property and equipment had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated fair value as determined by their estimated discounted future cash flows. Most of these leases were related to one group of underperforming properties in a single geographic location. Based on this reportinformation, we recorded right-of-use asset impairments of $40.5 million and property plant and equipment impairments of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $6.3 million from $65.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be signed$72.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 10%. General and administrative headcount decreased due to the reductions in workforce in 2023 but the related cost savings were offset by severance charges of $2.9 million which were not incurred in the prior year. Equity-based compensation included in general and administrative increased $3.4 million from $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 due the acceleration of equity awards upon the departure of certain members of the executive management team and incremental equity grants. The remainder of the increase from the year ended December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to increased professional service fees and compliance costs including increases in corporate insurance premiums.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $6.5 million from $39.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $32.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 16%, primarily due to reduced spending on its behalfmarketing of $8.3 million as part of our cost savings initiatives. This was partially offset by a net increase for salaries within sales and marketing of $1.1 million from the transfer of employees from operations to sales in May of 2023 which was partially offset by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, on March 24, 2021.reductions in workforce for 2023 as well. Additionally, equity-based compensation included in sales and marketing increased $0.7 million from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as additional awards were issued during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Additionally, we reduced software spend for the year ended December 31, 2023 by $1.3 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Depreciation and eachamortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.6 million from $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of them, with full power of substitution and resubstitution and full power18%, due to act without the other, as his or her true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act in his or her name, place and stead and to executecontinued investment in the nameupkeep of our lease portfolio.

Interest, net. Interest expense, net increased $0.9 from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to debt issuance costs and interest expense of $2.4 million incurred in relation to the Note. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in interest income of $1.3 million primarily due to the Company’s receipt of interest on behalfour cash investments.

(Gain) loss on fair value instruments. Gains and losses on fair value instruments changed from losses of each person, individually$1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to gains of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a net change of $4.1 million. Warrant fair value loss was $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and a $0.8 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2023, a change of $2.5 million. The fair value gain recognized on the Note was $1.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 and there were no debt fair value adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $0.1 million from $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to reduced foreign income tax expense of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against the full value of our net deferred tax assets because we believe it is more likely than not that the recoverability of these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of December 31, 2023, we had $36.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $5.7 million of restricted cash. We believe our cash and cash equivalents on hand will be sufficient to meet our projected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least the next twelve months.

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of cash flow from financing activities as well as operating activities, primarily from Subscription and travel revenue. On September 29, 2023, we sold and issued the Note maturing September 29, 2028 with net proceeds of approximately $23.1 million. We are in each capacity stated below,compliance with all covenants under the Note. For additional information on the Note, refer to “Overview—Capital One Ventures Strategic Partnership and Investment” above.

In July of 2022, we repaid all amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility. In March of 2023, the Company terminated the facility.

We have generally maintained a working capital deficit, in which our current liabilities exceed our current assets, primarily due to file anyour significant deferred revenue related to travel and all amendmentsSubscriptions that are paid in advance but not yet taken or consumed. Our cash needs vary from period to period primarily based on the timing of travel and sales promotions.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our rate of member and revenue growth, travel bookings, change in the number of properties, other initiatives including the success of Rewards and overall economic conditions.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023

Cash flows used in operating activities. Cash used in operating activities increased from $45.7 million in 2022 to $51.4 million in 2023. This increase was primarily driven by a net loss of $93.9 million, decreases of $13.6 million in deferred revenue, a net decrease between lease liability and amortization of right-of-use assets of $2.2 million, and decreases in other working capital items of $7.0 million, partially offset by asset impairments totaling $40.8 million, equity-based compensation of $13.7 million, and depreciation and amortization of $10.6 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities. Cash used in investing activities decreased from $14.3 million in 2022 to $12.1 million in 2023. The decrease was driven by lower expenditures for property and equipment of $2.5 million partially offset by higher expenditures related to ongoing internal software development projects of $0.4 million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities decreased from $58.9 million in 2022 to $23.8 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the proceeds received as a result of the one-time reverse recapitalization during 2022 and was partially offset by the proceeds from the Note in 2023.

Use of Cash and Contractual Obligations

We expect to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months through use of our available cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities. We expect to meet our long-term cash requirements with cash flows from operating and financing activities, including, but not limited to potential future issuances of debt or equity. Our primary uses of cash are for operating expenses, lease payments and capital expenditures.

Our future commitments consist of obligations under the Note (including principal and coupon interest) and operating leases, primarily for vacation properties and our corporate headquarters. The leases may require us to pay taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance costs. We have been undergoing a lease optimization process whereby we have renegotiated certain leases and terminated certain leases, depending on the individual lease situation. See Note 9 – Leases in our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K.

Future minimum annual commitments under these operating leases as of December 31, 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2023, the Company was party to 21 leases that had not yet commenced. Future payments under these leases were $28.1 million at December 31, 2023.

The $25 million Note is an unsubordinated secured obligation of the Company. The Note bears interest at a fixed rate of 8% per annum. Interest on the Note is payable quarterly on the last business day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of the Note and is payable at the election of the Company in cash or in kind by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Note by the amount of interest payable on such interest payment date. The Note will mature on September 29, 2028, subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase.

Our revolving credit facility had no amounts drawn as of December 31, 2022. The Company was not in compliance with the covenants under the facility at December 31, 2022 and had not been in compliance since May of 2022. The Company repaid all amounts borrowed under the facility in July of 2022 and terminated the facility in March of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to filecommunicate with our Board concerning our business and financial performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about our business and financial performance, enhance their overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in their financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our business and financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing results of operations of our business over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

There are limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial measures. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Thus, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

39

We provide a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBTIDA Margin and Free Cash Flow to their respective related GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Free Cash Flow in conjunction with their respective related GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Net Loss

We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss and comprehensive loss less fair value gains and losses on financial instruments and asset impairments.

The above items are excluded from Adjusted Net Loss because our management believes that they are not indicative of our core operating performance and do not reflect the underlying economics of our business. The following table presents a reconciliation of our net loss and comprehensive loss, the closest GAAP measure, to Adjusted Net Loss (in thousands):

We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue for the same period.

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and development of internal-use software. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a meaningful indicator of liquidity that provides information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated from operations, after purchases of property and equipment and development of internal-use software, that can be used for strategic initiatives, if any.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with all exhibits thereto,GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our Consolidated Financial Statements. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other documentsfactors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, impacting our reported results of operations and financial condition. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in connection therewith,Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following accounting estimates involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the estimates we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition - Loyalty Program

In August of 2023, we implemented a member loyalty program, Rewards. Rewardsmembers accumulate rewards based on their activity with us. Members who earn one of the Securitiesthree Rewards statuses may be entitled to, depending on their status, extra savings on Club bookings; early access to new property releases, new Experiences and Exchange Commission, granting unto said attorneys-in-factyear-end festive dates; and agents,complementary nights, among other benefits, which provide them with a material right to free or discounted goods or services in the future. As of December 31, 2023, our total Rewards deferred revenue was $10.7 million.

When members spend with Inspirato, we defer a portion of the members’ total spend to Rewards, representing the deferred revenue value of the program’s separate performance obligation. To determine the amount of deferral necessary from members’ spend, we determine the standalone selling price of the identified performance obligations related to Rewards based on the aggregate estimated value of usage of individual benefits within the program in relation to total member spend. Revenues related to Rewards are then recognized over time based upon historical travel patterns andmembers’ average life, which includes an estimate of Rewards benefits that will expire or will not be used during the benefit period of the Rewards material rights (up to 30 months). These inputs towards the Rewards deferral require us to forecast future spend for our members, usage of each of the earned performance obligations and the standalone value of each of the identified performance obligations which, especially in the first year of the program, as there is limited historical information, require management’s estimation. Any changes in the assumptions outlined above would impact the allocation of consideration received from our members and the resulting timing of when revenues from each of the specific performance obligations would be recognized.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, holding other factors constant, a 10% change in our estimated future spend for each member would have resulted in a change to Rewards revenue of approximately $1.1 million, or less than a one percent change in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Intangible and Tangible Asset Impairment Assessment

Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed annually for impairment in the fourth quarter and when events and circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below its carrying value. We have determined that we have one reporting unit. The impairment test requires that we first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, we then perform a quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. Under the quantitative impairment test, we would compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we

41

could not conclude qualitatively that the fair value of goodwill is greater than its carrying value and, as such, we utilized a quantitative test and determined that no goodwill impairment charges were necessary.

For our other finite-lived, long-term assets, our property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, an impairment assessment is necessary when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying values of such assets may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities which, for us, is generally at a property level. When evaluating a selected property for impairment, we first compare the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with each asset are less than the carrying value of the asset, we determine if we have an impairment loss by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the asset's estimated fair value and recognize an impairment charge when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis and is amortized over the asset's remaining useful life. We utilized a quantitative test for the year ended December 31, 2023 and determined that an impairment of the Company’s ROU assets was necessary and a $40.5 million impairment charge was recorded.

Our impairment calculations, when utilized, contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values include projected revenue growth and operating expenses, as well as forecasting asset useful lives and, when utilizing a discounted cash flow, selecting an appropriate discount rate. For the Company’s properties, estimates of revenue growth and operating expenses are based on internal projections and consider the property’s historical performance, the local market economics and the business environment impacting the property’s performance. The fair value of a property’s ROU asset is estimated using the property’s expected future net cash flows excluding the property’s lease payments. When a discount rate is utilized, the discount rate is selected based on what we believe a buyer would assume when determining the purchase price of the property. These estimates are subjective and our ability to realize future cash flows and asset fair values is affected by factors such as ongoing maintenance and improvement of the assets, changes in economic conditions and changes in operating performance.

If actual forecasted income varies materially from those utilized in the impairment assessments above, the amount of calculated impairment could be more or less depending on the direction of the adjustments necessary. There can be no assurance that the projections utilized will not materially change in the future given the inherent difficulty in forecasting future revenues and costs, especially at the specific property-level when utilized; however, the estimates utilized were the best available at the time the financial statements were issued.

Valuation of Note

As we have elected to carry our Note at fair value on a quarterly basis, we calculate the fair value of our Note, adjust its valuation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and record the complementary fair value adjustment to (gain) loss on fair value instruments within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the note was $23.9 million and, as the Note was signed on August 7, 2023, there was no value of the note as of December, 31, 2022. As a result of the fair value adjustment, we recorded a gain of $1.6 million to (gain) loss on fair value instruments within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In calculating the fair value of the Note, we utilize a binomial lattice model where we consider both the debt and stock features of the Note. In reviewing the debt features of the Note, we considered our scheduled coupon and principal payments and compared them full powerto those of instruments currently outstanding in the market of companies with similar credit ratings as well as the risk-free rate. In considering the stock features of the Note, we considered the value and authorityvolatility of our own stock, in addition to doconsidering volatility of similar instruments in the marketplace as well as the conversion feature of the Note which is discounted at the risk-free rate. These inputs to the binomial lattice model are subjective and performour ability to properly assess these inputs could have a material impact on the ultimate valuation of the Note.

If our calculated fair value of our note differs materially from the actual fair value, the Company could have a materially different fair value of our Note on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with an equal offset against (gain) loss on fair value instruments within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

42

Incremental Borrowing Rate

On a quarterly basis we calculate our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) as none of our leases provide an implicit rate of return. The Company’s IBR is utilized as the discount rate when calculating our initial lease liabilities, modifications to our lease liabilities and complementary right-of-use assets leases greater than one year.

The IBR is calculated for leases based on their term length and risk profile. The Company considers both the risk-free rate as well as the associated debt rates for companies with a similar credit profile as ours as well as the term of the complementary note of each rate. We also consider company-specific risk factors such as our asset risks, foreign currency risks and every actlocational risks when assessing the IBR for one of our managed and thing, ratifyingcontrolled vacation homes.

If our actual IBR varies materially from those utilized, the Company could have materially different balances for the capitalized ROU assets and confirming all that said attorneys-in-fact and agents or any of them or their or his or her substitute or substitutes may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue thereof.

For further information on recently adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 within our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PursuantItem 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our principal market risks are our exposure to interest rates and foreign currency risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on total cash and cash equivalents as well as interest paid on debt.

We have not been exposed to, nor anticipate exposure to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not have had a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023. Our revolving credit facility was terminated in March of 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, there was $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Note outstanding. We have elected to carry the Note at fair value. The fair value of the Note changes when the market price of our stock fluctuates or interest rates change.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency risk, mainly related to non-lease operating expenditures that we incur in foreign countries. Many of our leases, which are the most significant component of operating costs in foreign countries, are denominated in U.S. dollars and thus do not result in foreign currency risk. In the year ended December 31, 2023, our operating expenditures denominated in foreign currencies were approximately $27.1 million, primarily in Mexican Pesos and Euros. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the requirementsMexican Peso and Euro would have a $2.7 million impact to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corp.
Inspirato Incorporated
Denver, Colorado

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsheets of Thayer Ventures Acquisition Corp.Inspirato Incorporated (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2020,2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations changes in stockholders’and comprehensive loss, equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) throughended December 31, 2020,2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial“consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as ofat December 31, 2020,2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) throughended December 31, 2020,2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit.audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our auditaudits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our auditaudits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our auditaudits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our auditaudits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit providesaudits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Reverse Stock Split

On September 26, 2023, the period from July 31, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 relatesCompany’s stockholders approved a proposal to adopt a series of alternative amendments to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“the Initial Public Offering”) described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completioncertificate of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (as defined below). The Company’s sponsor is Thayer Ventures Acquisition Holdings LLC,Board subsequently approved a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement forfinal reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-20 of the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on December 10, 2020. On December 15, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock, included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), including 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00Class B Non-Voting common stock, par value $0.0001 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $9.2 million, inclusive of $6.9 million in deferred underwriting commissions (Note 5) and net of reimbursement from underwriters of approximately $1.7 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placementshare (“Private Placement”) of 7,175,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of approximately $7.2 million (Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, approximately $176.0 million ($10.20 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 will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the funds held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in Trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company only intends to complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

THAYER VENTURES ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will provide the holders of the Company’s outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then held in the Trust Account (currently at $10.20 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares are recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” If the Company seeks stockholder approval, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. The Company will not redeem the Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”Class B Non-Voting Common Stock”) and file tender offer documents withClass V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class V Common Stock”) (collectively, the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval“Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split became effective as of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeemOctober 16, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). No fractional shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or do not vote at all or are not a holder of record of Public Shares on the record date established in connection with a Business Combination. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial stockholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public SharesCommon Stock were issued in connection with the completionReverse Stock Split, and stockholders who would otherwise have received a fractional share of a Business Combination.

The Certificate of Incorporation will provide that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is actingCommon Stock pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split received cash in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13lieu of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its sharesfractional share, with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The holders of the Founder Shares (the “initial stockholders”) agreed not to propose an amendmentreference to the Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timingclosing trading price of the Company’s obligationClass A Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as adjusted to redeem 100%give effect to the reverse stock split), without interest.

The reverse stock split had no effect on the par value of the Public Shares ifCompany's Common Stock. The total number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company does not complete a Business Combination withinis authorized to issue was reduced from 1,000,000,000 to 50,000,000, the Combination Periodtotal number of shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue was reduced from 100,000,000 to 5,000,000, the total number of shares of Class V Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue was reduced from 500,000,000 to 25,000,000 and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) that the Company is authorized to issue was reduced from 100,000,000 to 5,000,000. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remained unchanged, except for minor changes resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.

As of the Effective Time, proportional adjustments were also made to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Company’s outstanding warrants, Note (as defined below) or with respect to any other material provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or June 15, 2022, (the “Combination Period”) and the Company’s stockholders have not amended the Certificate of Incorporation to extend such Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii)equity awards, as promptlywell 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest

The initial stockholders agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Periodequity awards were also proportionately adjusted, as applicable.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement (a “Target”), reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or Target that executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.periods presented.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements are presentedprepared in U.S. dollars in conformityaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Index to Financial Statements

THAYER VENTURES ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $1.2 million outside of the Trust account and working capital of approximately $1.4 million, excluding approximately $0.1 million of franchise tax payable.

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs on behalfaccounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in exchange for issuancewhich the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Consolidated Financial Statements present the consolidated results of Founders Shares (as definedoperations, comprehensive loss, cash flows and changes in Note 4), and loan proceeds from the Sponsorequity of $400,000 under the Note (as defined Note 4). The Company repaid the Note in full on December 15, 2020.

Note 2—Summary51

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in conformity with 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 the date of the financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and the reported amountsaccompanying notes. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of revenuesnew information may result in revised estimates, and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actualactual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation

THAYER VENTURES ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

limit of $250,000 and investments held in Trust Account. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. Treasury securities, or a combination thereof.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-termCash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or lessless. Cash balances held in banks exceed the federal depository insurance limit. The Company’s cash is only insured up to the federal depository insurance limit. A significant portion of the Company’s cash balances are held at a single banking institution.

Amounts in transit from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents as they generally settle to cash within two to five days of the sales transaction.

(e) Restricted Cash

TheCompanyclassifiesdepositsasrequiredtobemaintainedbyitscreditcardandACHprocessorsasrestrictedcash.

(f) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are recorded at the original invoiced amounts, net of a reserve for credit losses. The reserve for credit losses is estimated based on historical collectivity, aging of receivables, macroeconomic trends and other factors that may impact the Company’s ability to collect against those receivables. As of both December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company’s reserve for credit losses was $0.8 million.

(g) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method is used for computing depreciation and amortization.Assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years to depreciation and amortization within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cost of leasehold improvements is depreciated over the lesser of the remaining term of the associated leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets to cost of revenue within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Capitalized purchased software costs are depreciated over three years to general and administrative within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to their respective expense line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations when incurred.

Direct costs incurred in the development of internal-use software are capitalized once the preliminary project stage is completed, management has committed to funding the project, and completion and use of the software for its intended purpose is probable. The Company ceases capitalization of development costs once the software has been substantially completed and is ready for its intended use. Software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives of three years within depreciation and amortization on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's cloud computing arrangements include software licenses purchased from external vendors. Implementation costs incurred during the application development stage and other costs meeting certain criteria are capitalized. These assets are included in other noncurrent assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over their assessed useful lives.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s long-lived assets, including lease right-of-use assets, are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than the Company had originally estimated. The recoverability of these assetsis measured by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate over their remaining lives. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life.

52

There were no property and equipment impairments during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 and there were $0.3 million in property and equipment impairments during the year ended December 31, 2023, which were recorded to asset impairments within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(h) Leases

The Company is party to operating lease agreements for its vacation homes, certain hotels and corporate offices. Operating lease assets are included within right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and the corresponding operating lease liabilities are included within lease liabilities and lease liabilities, noncurrent on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has elected not to present short-term leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. All other right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the later of ASC 842 adoption date or lease commencement date. Because none of the Company’s leases provide an implicit rate of return, the Company used the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at adoption date or lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of the Company’s current classes of leases.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.0 million, $0.9 million and $40.5 million of impairment expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations related to ROU assets with carrying values in excess of their recoverable values. The recoverability of these ROU assets is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of each asset to the future net undiscounted cash equivalents. flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life.

(i) Goodwill

GoodwillarosefromtheacquisitionofcertainassetsofPorticoClub,LLC(“Portico”)onDecember16,2013. Goodwill was recorded based on management’s best estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed annually for impairment on December 1 and when events and circumstances indicate that the fair valueofareportingunitwithgoodwillhasbeenreducedbelowitscarryingvalue. TheCompanyhasdeterminedthattheCompanyhasonereporting unit. The test for impairment requires that the Company first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, the Company then performs a quantitative impairment test. Otherwise,thequantitativeimpairmenttestisnotrequired. The Company performed its annual qualitative assessment and determined based on that assessment that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying value, and as such, determined that no goodwill impairment charges were necessary. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 or 2023.

(j) Revenue

The Company’s revenue is reported net of discounts and incentives as a reduction of the transaction price. Some of the Company’s contracts with members contain multiple performance obligations. For member contracts that include multiple performance obligations, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations as if they are distinct. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company generally determines the standalone selling price based on the prices charged to members.

Subscription Revenue

The Company’s contracts with members grant access to book the Company’s residences and other privileges that vary based on the type of active paid member subscription (“Subscription”). The Company’s predominant subscription offerings include Inspirato Club and Inspirato Pass Subscriptions. Inspirato Club Subscriptions grant access to the Company’s portfolio. In addition to Inspirato Club Subscription benefits, Inspirato Pass Subscriptions include the ability to book certain stays without paying additional nightly rates, taxes or fees. Subscriptions generally include an enrollment fee and monthly, semi-annual, annual, or multi-year fees, which are generally paid upfront and are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has an unconditional right to these fees in its contracts with members for a Subscription as the Company provides the right to book to its members. Thus, the Company recognizes Subscription fee revenue over the respective contract period.

53

New Legacy subscriptions are no longer sold, however, members who purchased a legacy subscription paid a substantial upfront payment to join the club and, on an ongoing basis, are charged dues which allow members continued access to the Company’s portfolio, similar to InspiratoClub members. Legacy dues are recognized to revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The initial upfront Legacy payments made were deferred and are recognized to revenue over 5 years, the expected Legacy customer’s time within the club, within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. From those payments, $4.2 million and $1.0 million remain within deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. 

Additional Subscription revenue is generated from Inspirato for Good (“IFG”) and Inspirato for Business (“IFB”). IFG is a platform where the Company works with nonprofit organizations to auction travel packages during the nonprofit’s events. IFB represents the Company’s business-to-business channel which caters towards the incentive travel market for other companies with a ready-to-use travel solution to reward and retain their employees and business partners. IFG and IFB contracts include both subscription and travel performance obligations which are allocated to each performance obligation based on their standalone selling prices and are recognized to revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Contracts are cancellable at the end of their contract term. The Company has determined that enrollment fees for Subscriptions do not provide a material right to a member and thus, these enrollment fees are recognized upon receipt. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined the Company’s contracts do not include a significant financing component.

Travel Revenue

When a trip is purchased, the Company records the cash received as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Travel revenue is recognized to revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as performance obligations are met over the period of the stay. Revenue related to cancellation fees and other fees is recognized to revenue within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as the associated obligations to members are satisfied or extinguished.

The Company is required to collect certain taxes from customers on behalf of government agencies and remit these back to the applicable governmental entity on a periodic basis. These taxes are not recognized as revenue. Rather, the Company records a liability within accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets upon collection from the customer and reduces the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental agency.

Loyalty Program

In August of 2023, the Company implemented a member loyalty program called Inspirato Rewards (“Rewards”). Rewards members accumulate rewards based on their activity with Inspirato. Members who earn one of the three Rewards statuses may be entitled to, depending on their status, extra savings on Inspirato Club bookings; early access to new property releases, new Experiences and year-end festive dates; and complementary nights, among other benefits, which provide them with a material right to free or discounted goods or services in the future.

The Company defers a portion of member spend, which represents the value of the program’s separate performance obligation, to Rewards within deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determines the standalone selling price of these performance obligations related to Rewards based on the aggregate estimated value of usage of individual benefits within the program in relation to total member spend. The Company’s estimates of usage and value of the program are updated on a regular basis to incorporate recent member trends and projections. Revenues related to Rewards are recognized over time based upon historical travel patterns and members’ average life, which includes an estimate of Rewards benefits that will expire or will not be used during the benefit period of the Rewards material rights (up to 30 months). As Rewards revenue is recognized, the deferred revenue related to Rewards is reduced and is recognized to revenue within in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

54

Deferred Revenue

As a result of the timing difference from when a member purchases a product, the Company records any unrecognized portion of travel revenue, prepaid enrollment and Subscription dues, and travel credits to be delivered as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets until applicable performance obligations are met.

Additionally, members may purchase travel credits or obtain them upon cancelling a trip in certain situations. Travel credits can be applied towards future services, including Subscription and travel. Travel credits are recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets until either the satisfaction of the purchased performance obligations for or the expiration of the credits occurs which is generally 3 years.

(k) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue includes costs directly related to delivering travel to the Company’s members as well as depreciation and amortization related to leasehold improvements and equipment at residences. These direct costs include payments for properties the Company leases, operating and maintenance costs of those properties, including on-site service personnel costs, costs paid to the Company’s hotel partners for member stays, and booking costs from Inspirato Only experiences and Bespoke trips.

(l) Advertising Costs

The Company incurs advertising expenses to promote the Company’s brand. The Company expenses the production costs associated with advertisements in the period in which the advertisement first takes place and expenses the costs of placing the advertisement as incurred each time the advertisement is shown.Advertising expenses are included in sales and marketing expense within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and totaled $8.5 million, $8.0million and $7.1 million fortheyearsendedDecember 31, 2021,2022,and2023,respectively.

(m) Equity-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensationfor all transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, which generally require the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instrumentsinearningsbasedonthefairvalueandvestingprovisionsoftheawardonthedateofgrant.Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, with forfeitures accounted for as they occur.

(n) Income Taxes

For periods prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, Inspirato LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax under current U.S. tax laws, and any taxable income or loss is passed through and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including Inspirato Incorporated. Inspirato Incorporated is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, in addition to state and local income taxes, with respect to its distributive share of the items of the net taxable income or loss and any related tax credits of Inspirato LLC.

Subsequent to the Business Combination, Inspirato Incorporated holds an interest in Inspirato LLC, which continues to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Inspirato LLC is also subject to taxes in foreign jurisdictions in which it operates.

Inspirato Incorporated is subject to income taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. The relevant tax laws are often complex and may be subject to different interpretations.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the basis difference reverses. In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence. If based upon all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. The valuation allowance may be reversed in a

55

subsequent reporting period if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax asset will become realizable.

The Company’s interpretations of tax laws are subject to review and examination by various taxing authorities and jurisdictions where the Company operates, and disputes may occur regarding its view on a tax position. These disputes over interpretations with the various tax authorities may be settled by audit, administrative appeals or adjudication in the court systems of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company regularly reviews whether it may be assessed additional income taxes as a result of the resolution of these matters, and the Company records additional reserves as appropriate. In addition, the Company may revise its estimate of income taxes due to changes in income tax laws, legal interpretations and business strategies. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company records interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. For additional information see Note 10 – Income Taxes.

(o) Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the economic interest of Inspirato LLC not owned by Inspirato Incorporated. These noncontrolling interests arose from the Business Combination. Noncontrolling interests were initially recorded as the relative proportion of the ownership interest to the net assets of Inspirato LLC at the time of the Business Combination. This amount is subsequently adjusted for the proportionate share of earnings or losses attributable to the noncontrolling interests, any dividends or distributions paid to the noncontrolling interests and any changes to Inspirato Incorporated’s ownership of Inspirato LLC.

As of December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents2023, Inspirato Incorporated directly owned 54.9% of the interest in Inspirato LLC and the noncontrolling interest was 45.1%. The noncontrolling interest relates to the economic interests in Inspirato LLC held directly by owners of the Company’s Inspirato Incorporated Class V common stock (“Class V Common Stock”) in the Company’s operating cash account.form of New Common Units (as defined below) as a result of the Business Combination. See Note 3 - Reverse Recapitalization.

Investments held in Trust Account(p) Derivative Instruments

The Company’s portfolioCompany does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of investments held in trustits financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is comprised solely of 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair valuere-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Gains

The Company’s outstanding warrants are recognized as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrants as liabilities at fair value subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised and losses resulting from theany change in fair value is recognized in (gain) loss on fair value instruments within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of these investmentsOperations.

(q) Segment Information

The Company provides hospitality services in both the U.S. as well as other foreign jurisdictions and has both members and assets around the world. The Company is managed by a U.S. based management team and measures and evaluates financial and operational performance as a single enterprise. Services are included in net gainsold from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations.U.S. and not differentiated based upon purchase location and information is reported to the chief operating decision maker and the executive team on an aggregated world-wide basis.

This guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy,guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which prioritizesis consistent with the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy givesCompany’s current accounting treatment. For smaller reporting companies, as defined by the highest prioritySEC, the guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In connection with the issuance of the Note (see Note 8), the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 and elected 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 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.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels offollow the fair value hierarchy. option under the modified retrospective approach. There was no other impact of the adoption for the Company.

Impairment of Right-of-Use Assets

The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or anychanges in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reviewed cash flow forecasts of leases against the carrying value of their respective affiliates will be reimbursedright-of-use assets. The Company determined that the right-of-use assets for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred63 leases had net carrying values that exceeded their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. These leases were primarily related to one group of underperforming properties in connectiona single geographic location. The Company then estimated the fair value of the asset groups based on their cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with activitiesthe risk involved and based on assumptions representative of market participants. The carrying values of the asset groups exceeded their fair values and, as a result, the Company recorded right-of-use asset impairments of $40.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to asset impairments within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(10) Income Taxes

Prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC was treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, was generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Rather, the tax liability with respect to its taxable income was passed through to its unit holders. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income tax has been included in the Company’s behalf such as identifying potential target businessesConsolidated Financial Statements prior to the Closing Date.

Management regularly assesses the ability to realize deferred tax assets recorded based upon the weight of available evidence, including such factors as recent earnings history and expected future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In the event that the Company completeschanges its determination as to the amount of realizable deferred tax assets, the Company will adjust its valuation allowance with a Business Combination,corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The Company’s management believes that, based on a number of factors, it is more likely than not, that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized; and accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. net deferred tax assets. The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2023 was an increase of $22.5 million.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $140.6 million which will begin to expire in 2035 with $75.7 million of the federal net operating loss carryforward lasting indefinitely. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes of approximately $97.9 million which will begin to expire at various dates beginning in 2031.

In certain circumstances, due to ownership changes, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to the termslimitations under Section 382 of the underwriting agreement.

Internal Revenue Code. The underwriters also madeCompany has not completed a paymentstudy to assess whether an ownership change has occurred, as defined by IRC Sections 382, or whether there have been ownership changes since the Company's formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study. The Company estimates that if such a change did occur, the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized in an amount equalthe future could be significantly limited. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to 1.0%realize the benefit of some or all of the gross proceedsfederal and state loss carryforwards, either due to ongoing operating losses or due to ownership change limitations.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Inspirato Incorporated obtains an increase in its share of the Initial Public Offering, or approximately $1.7 milliontax basis in the aggregatenet assets of Inspirato LLC when New Common Units are exchanged by the Continuing Inspirato Members and other qualifying transactions. As described in Note 3 — Reverse Recapitalization, each change in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock results in a corresponding increase or decrease in Inspirato Incorporated's ownership of New Common Units. The Company intends to reimbursetreat any exchanges of New Common Units as direct purchases of LLC interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that Inspirato Incorporated would otherwise pay in the future to various taxing authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain ofcapital assets to the Company’s expenses.

Deferred Consulting Feesextent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

In September 2020,connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the "TRA"). Under the TRA, the Company generally will be required to pay to the Continuing Inspirato Members 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state or local tax that the Company realizes directly or indirectly (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain tax attributes created as a result of any sales or exchanges (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to

or with the Company of their interests in Inspirato for shares of Inspirato Incorporated's Class A common stock or cash, including any basis adjustment relating to the assets of Inspirato and (ii) tax benefits attributable to payments made under the TRA (including imputed interest). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any tax benefits that it may actually realize. To the extent that the Company is unable to timely make payments under the TRA for any reason, such payments generally will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Inspirato Incorporated was formed in July of 2020 and did not engage in significant operations prior to the Business Combination and associated organizational transactions. Inspirato LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and its tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2023, $0.5 million of the total unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would have an engagement letter withimpact on the Company's effective tax rate.

(12) Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Inspirato Incorporated per Class A Share

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed utilizing shares that participate in the Company’s earnings – including dividend rights. The Company’s Class A and Class B Common Stock are the classes of shares that are entitled to the Company’s earnings and dividends. As no shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock were issued as of December 31, 2023, the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share includes only Class A Common Stock.

Class V Common Stock does not have economic rights in Inspirato Incorporated, including rights to dividends or distributions upon liquidation, and, as a result, is not considered a security for EPS. Class V Common Stock does contain a conversion feature entitling stockholders to convert Class V Common Stock to Class A Common Stock. However, this conversion feature would have no impact on EPS as its assumed conversion under the if-converted method would have an equal proportionate impact on the numerator and denominator resulting in no change to diluted EPS.

EPS is computed using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, the Company allocates net income attributable to Inspirato Incorporated to Class A Common Stock (including those with vested share-based awards). Basic earnings per share is calculated by taking net income attributable to Inspirato Incorporated, less earnings allocated to Class A Common Stock, divided by the basic weighted-average Class A Common Stock outstanding. Net loss per share is calculated by taking net loss attributable to Inspirato Incorporated divided by weighted-average Class A Common Stock outstanding as Class V Common Stock do not share in losses as the impact would be anti-dilutive.

In accordance with the two-class method, diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the impact of the treasury-stock method or from reducing net income for the earnings allocated to Class A Common Stock. Additionally, adjustments from dilutive securities include those from restricted stock units, nonqualified stock options, warrants and profits interests when those securities would have a dilutive impact when utilizing the treasury stock method. Additionally, with the conversion feature of the Company's Note, when the Note's conversion impact is dilutive, interest expense, net of tax, is added back to net income to calculate diluted net income per share.

EPS for the year ended December 31, 2021 was adjusted as a result of the Business Combination, see Note 3 for additional information. The following table summarizes the Company’s EPS for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023:

Options under the Unit Option Plan generally had a 10-year contractual term and vested over a three-year to five-year period starting from the date specified in each applicable option agreement. Each Inspirato LLC option from the Unit Option Plan that was outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination, whether vested or unvested, was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of the initialClass A Common Stock based on the Exchange Ratio (the “Exchanged Options”).

Profits Interests

Prior to the Business Combination, Inspirato LLC granted awards of profits interests to certain key employees.

Each award of profits interests vests over the time period set forth in each individual profits interest award agreement underlying the award, subject to furtherthe applicable executive’s continued service and, upon the vesting of each award, the newly vested New Common Units become available to be converted from Class V shares to Class A shares. If an executive terminated service, any unvested profits interests held by such executive would be forfeited to Inspirato LLC.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, there were 465,000 and 355,000, respectively, as-converted profits interests issued and outstanding and all have been fully vested as of December 31, 2023. No profits interests have been issued since the consummation of the Business Combination.

than 15 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC and have an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

The warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s initial stockholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s initial stockholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00” and “Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00: Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the outstanding warrants for redemption (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).

The Company will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.

Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00: After the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that during such 30 day period holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined by reference toV Common Stock.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings. The Company establishes reserves for specific legal proceedings when the likelihood of an agreed table based on the redemption dateunfavorable outcome is probable and the “fair market value”amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility of material loss or loss in excess of the shares of Class A common stock (as defined below); provided, further,amount that if the warrants are not exercised on a cashless basis or otherwise during such 30 day period, the Company shall redeem such warrantshas accrued. The Company recognizes legal fees related to any ongoing legal proceeding as incurred.

On February 16, 2023, a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the District of Colorado captioned Keith Koch, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Inspirato Incorporated, Brent Handler, and R. Webster Neighbor. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against all defendants, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants. The complaint generally alleges that certain of the Company’s prior public statements about its results of operations and financial condition were materially false and misleading because they misrepresented and failed to disclose adverse facts pertaining to the restatement of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for $0.10 per share;the three months ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. The Company believes it has meritorious defense to the claims in this matter and intends to vigorously defend against them.

Financial Guarantee Requirement

Inspirato LLC is a party to a financial guarantee requirement with a third party. The guarantee was satisfied through a $20 million surety bond that was increased to $30 million on November 2, 2023. The financial guarantee bond agreement remains in effect and only if,its term is continuous to align with the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted per stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizationsterm of the agreement it supports.

Credit Card Reserve

The Company has committed to provide a $10 million reserve balance with a credit card processor through credit card transactions. As of December 31, 2023, $4.8 million was reserved and is included in restricted cash within the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the likeremaining balance is expected to be fully reserved for and for certain issuancesincluded in restricted cash during the first quarter of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and2024.

if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like and for certain issuances of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination) then the Private Placement Warrants must also concurrently be called for redemption on the same terms (equal to a number of shares of Class A common stock) as the outstanding Public Warrants as described above.

The “fair market value” of Class A common stock for the above purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price of Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A common stock per warrant (subject to adjustment).

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Note 7-(17) Fair Value Measurements

Under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, disclosures relating to how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities are required and a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped is established, based on significant levels of inputs, as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes several valuation techniques in order to assess the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities.

The following table presents information abouttables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets that areand liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 20202022 and December 31, 2023 based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

The Company had no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are comprised of credit card receivables and cash and are categorized as Level 1 instruments. The Company maintains cash with various high-quality financial institutions and holds restricted cash with certain credit card processors as a deposit until services are rendered. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company had $1.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of restricted cash.

Warrants

As the Public Warrants utilize an observable price in an active market to assess their fair value the warrants are categorized as Level 1 instruments. Additionally, as there was an immaterial amount of outstanding Saks Warrant Shares as of December 31, 2023, the Company concluded the fair market value of the outstanding Saks Warrant Shares to be less than $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

Note

The estimated fair value of the Company’s Note has been determined to be a Level 3 measurement, as the Company utilizes a binomial lattice model where both the debt and stock features of the Note are considered. In reviewing the debt features of the Note, the Company considered its scheduled coupon and principal payments and compared them to those of instruments currently outstanding in the market of companies with similar credit ratings as well as the risk-free rate. In considering the stock features of the Note, the Company considered the value and volatility of its own stock, in addition to considering volatility of similar instruments in the marketplace as well as the conversion feature of the Note which is discounted at the risk-free rate.

(18) Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”), under which the Company is authorized to issue 200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 171,000 and 141,000 shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock which remain available for issuance under the ESPP. Generally, all full-time employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP. Employee stock purchases are made through payroll deductions. The ESPP consists of six-month offering periods during which employees may enroll in the plan. The purchase price on each purchase date shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the fair market value of a share of stock on the offering date of the offering period or (b) the fair market value of a share of stock on the purchase date. During the year ended December 31, 2023, there were employee purchases of approximately 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock through the ESPP.

401(k) Employee Savings Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) that covers substantially all employees. Employees are eligible to begin participating in the Plan at the beginning of the first month following their employment with the Company. Employees participating in the Plan may contribute up to 90 percent of their compensation up to Internal Revenue Service annual limitations. The

Plan provides for the Company to make a discretionary matching contribution. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company matched 50 percent of an employee’s contribution up to 6 percent of eligible pay with immediate 100 percent vesting. This match has a $1,500 per employee cap each year. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company matched $0.9 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are recognized atdesigned to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Executives”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, with the participation of the Executives, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, and as a result of the material weakness described below, the Executives concluded that as of December 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Nevertheless, based on the performance of additional procedures by management designed to ensure reliability of financial reporting, period. Thereour management has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below, the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of the dates, and for each of the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets,

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company's internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to the previously reported material weaknesses described below that continued to exist as of December 31, 2023.

A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

75

As previously reported, the material weaknesses continued to exist as of December 31, 2023 primary relating to (1) the establishment and design of processes and controls over financial closing and reporting and (2) the design and effectiveness of Information Technology General Controls (“ITGC”), including users’ access rights related to certain IT systems and segregation of duties related to the administration of those IT systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process.

These material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existed at Inspirato as of December 31, 2023, due to the following root causes:

Insufficient training of certain control operators and turnover of certain key control operators; and
Inadequate assessment of financial reporting risks, which in turn contributed to reliance on business process controls that were not designed properly and/or operating effectively to adequately mitigate existing risks.

Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In response to the material weaknesses identified in “Management’s Reporting on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” we, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, developed a plan to remediate the material weakness. Ongoing remediation activities include:

Continue to design and implement a comprehensive and continuous risk assessment process to identify and assess financial statement risks and ensure that the financial reporting process and related internal controls are in place to respond to those risks;
Continue to enhance the design of and implement additional process-level control activities and ensure they are properly evidenced and operating effectively; and
Enhance the training provided to our control operators.

During 2023, we engaged a co-source provider who completed an initial assessment of the design of our control environment. These results were reported to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis and drove management’s remediation efforts throughout 2023. We have made progress towards the remediation of our material weaknesses, however, we need to ensure that our controls are operating effectively throughout 2024 and design access controls for relevant IT applications.

During 2023, we had executive leadership changes in the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer positions, and both of the new executives have had previous public company experience. Under their direction, we are holding people accountable for effective control operation and have implemented and enhanced process-level control activities. Additionally, we established an internal audit function prior to 2023 that reported, on at least a quarterly basis, to the Audit Committee, the status of management’s material weakness remediation efforts, including the number of control deficiencies, progress made towards material weakness remediation as well as the implementation of additional process-level control activities throughout the Company. We continue to remediate the material weaknesses identified. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to review and improve our internal control over financial reporting controls and ITGCs, as described above.

We believe the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses described in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Because the reliability of the internal control process requires repeatable execution, the successful on-going remediation of the material weaknesses will require on-going review and evidence of effectiveness prior to concluding that the controls are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As outlined above, we are in the process of taking steps to remediate the material weaknesses. We made no transfers between levels forother changes in internal control over financial reporting during the periodquarter ended December 31, 20202023, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) to the Company’s effective tax rate (benefit) is as follows:
