Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:


(a)
The aggregate number of Securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is 82,676,723, representing approximately 20.7% of the Securities outstanding.  This amount includes: (i) 64,601,923 Securities held directly by NBOKS Master Fund; (ii) 3,750,000 Securities obtainable upon exercise of 3,750,000 Warrants held directly by NBOKS Master Fund; and (iii) 14,324,800 Securities held directly by Sponsor.

The number of Securities reported herein as directly held by Sponsor represents NBOKS Master Fund’s proportionate interest in the total Securities held directly by Sponsor, over which the Reporting Persons, through NBOKS Master Fund, share ownership with CC.  Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Act, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Securities held by Sponsor that are attributable to CC, and has excluded such Securities from its reported beneficial ownership in this statement.  The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any Reporting Person or any affiliate of a Reporting Person is, for the purposes of sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act, the beneficial owner of the Securities held directly by Sponsor that are attributable to CC.

The percentage of beneficial ownership reported herein is based on an aggregate 398,453,178 Securities outstanding, which is the sum of (i) 394,703,178 Securities outstanding as of September 1, 2022, as set forth in the prospectus on Form 424B4 filed by the Issuer on September 16, 2022, plus (ii) 3,750,000 Securities issuable upon exercise of 3,750,000 Warrants held directly by NBOKS Master Fund, which have been added to the total Securities outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(3) under the Act.


(b)
The Reporting Persons share with each other voting and dispositive power with respect to the 82,676,723 Securities reported as beneficially owned herein.  The Reporting Persons further share with CC voting and dispositive power with respect to the Securities held directly by Sponsor.  However, as noted above, pursuant to Rule 13d-4 under the Act, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Securities held by Sponsor that are attributable to CC, and has excluded such Securities from this statement.


(c)
On August 18, 2022, Sponsor made a distribution in kind to NBOKS Master Fund of the PIPE Shares and 9,280,000 Warrants held directly by Sponsor, which distribution solely resulted in a change in form of beneficial ownership for the Reporting Persons.

The 1,279,000 shares of Series B-1 common stock held directly by Sponsor that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own automatically converted into 1,279,000 Securities on August 24, 2022, the first date on which the daily volume weighted average price of the Securities was greater than or equal to $12.50 for a period of at least 20 days out of 30 consecutive days on which the Securities were traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

The 1,279,000 shares of Series B-2 common stock held directly by Sponsor that the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own automatically converted into 1,279,000 Securities on August 25, 2022, the first date on which the daily volume weighted average price of the Securities was greater than or equal to $15.00 for a period of at least 20 days out of 30 consecutive days on which the Securities were traded on the NYSE.

On August 29, 2022, the Reporting Persons exercised 9,280,000 Warrants on a “cashless” basis, pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2020 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between CCNB2 and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”), as assumed by the Issuer pursuant to that certain Warrant Assumption Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2022, by and among the Issuer, CCNB2, CST and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”).  As a result, the Issuer withheld 3,502,002 Securities to pay the $11.50 exercise price and issued the remaining 5,777,998 Securities to NBOKS Master Fund.  Pursuant to Section 3.3.1(c) of the Warrant Agreement, the price for purposes of the cashless exercise was calculated as the average last reported sale price of the Securities for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Warrant exercise notice was sent to AST.
