FOUN Founder SPAC

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1—Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies

Description of Business – Rubicon Technologies, Inc. and all subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as “Rubicon” or the “Company.”

Rubicon is a digital marketplace for waste and recycling services and provides cloud-based waste and recycling solutions to businesses and governments. Rubicon’s sustainable waste and recycling solutions provide comprehensive management of customers’ waste streams through a platform that powers a modern, digital experience and delivers data-driven insights and transparency for the customers and hauling and recycling partners.

Rubicon also provides consultation and management services to customers for waste removal, waste management, logistics, and recycling solutions. Consultation and management services include planning, consolidation of billing and administration, cost savings analyses, and vendor performance monitoring and management. The combination of Rubicon’s technology and services provides a holistic audit of customer waste streams. Rubicon also provides logistics services and markets and resells recyclable commodities.

Mergers – Rubicon Technologies, Inc. was initially incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 26, 2021 as a special purposes acquisition company under the name “Founder SPAC” (“Founder”). Founder was formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. On August 15, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Founder consummated the mergers (the “Mergers”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 15, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) (the “Closing”).

In connection with the Mergers, the Company was reorganized into an Up-C structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of the Company are held by Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC (“Holdings LLC”) and continue to operate through Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries, and Rubicon Technologies, Inc.’s material assets are the equity interests of Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC indirectly held by it. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Mergers were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method of accounting, Founder was treated as the acquired company and Holdings LLC was treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Holdings LLC issuing stock for the net assets of Founder, accompanied by a recapitalization. Thus, these consolidated financial statements reflect (i) the historical operating results of Holdings LLC prior to the Mergers; (ii) the results of Rubicon Technologies, Inc. following the Mergers; and (iii) the acquired assets and liabilities of Founder stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

See Note 3 for further information regarding the Mergers.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to U.S. GAAP and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented, under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rubicon Technologies, Inc., and subsidiaries. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed in, or omitted from, these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2023.

Segments – The Company operates in one operating segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM role is fulfilled by the Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”), who allocates resources and assesses performance based upon consolidated financial information.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Emerging Growth Company – The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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. The Company did not opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an EGC, will be required to adopt the new or revised standard at the time the new or revised standard becomes applicable to private companies. The effective dates shown in Note 2 below reflect the election to use the extended transition period.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes service revenue over time, consistent with efforts performed and when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s services. The Company recognizes recyclable commodity revenue point in time when the ownership, risks, and rewards transfer. The Company derives its revenue from waste removal, waste management and consultation services, software subscriptions, and the sale of recyclable commodities.

Service Revenue:

Service revenues are primarily derived from long-term contracts with waste generator customers including multiple promises delivered through the Company’s digital marketplace platform. The promises include waste removal, consultation services, billing administration and consolidation, cost savings analyses, and vendor procurement and performance management, each of which constitutes an input to the combined service managed through the digital platform. The digital platform and services are highly interdependent, and accordingly, each contractual promise is not considered a distinct performance obligation in the context of the contract and is combined into a single performance obligation. In general, fees are invoiced, and revenue is recognized over time as control is transferred. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for providing the service. The Company invoices for certain services prior to performance. These advance invoices are included in contract liabilities and recognized as revenue in the period service is provided.

Service revenues also include software-as-a-service subscription, maintenance, equipment and other professional services, which represent separate performance obligations. Once the performance obligations and the transaction price are determined, including an estimate of any variable consideration, the Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract using a relative standalone selling price method. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the good or service is sold separately.

Recyclable Commodity Revenue:

The Company recognizes recyclable commodity revenue through the sales of old corrugated cardboard (OCC), old newsprint (ONP), aluminum, glass, pallets, and other recyclable materials at market prices. The Company purchases recyclable commodities from certain waste generator customers and sells the recyclable materials to recycling and processing facilities. Revenue recognized under these agreements is variable in nature based on the market, type and volume or weight of the materials sold. The amount of revenue recognized is based on commodity prices at the time of sale, which are unknown at contract inception. Fees are billed, and revenue is recognized at a point in time when control is transferred to the recycling and processing facilities.

Management reviews contracts and agreements the Company has with its waste generator customers and hauling and recycling partners and performs an evaluation to consider the most appropriate manner in accordance with ASC 606-10, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, by which revenue is presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Judgment is required in evaluating the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether the Company controls the service provided to the end-user and is the principal in the transaction (gross), or the Company arranges for other parties to provide the service to the end-user and is the agent in the transaction (net). Management has concluded that the Company is the principal in most arrangements as it controls the waste removal service and is the primary obligor in the transactions.

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) which we recognize revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed and (iii) variable consideration which is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. After applying these optional exemptions, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was insignificant.

Cost of Revenue, exclusive of amortization and depreciation – Cost of service revenues primarily consists of expenses related to delivering the Company’s service and providing support, including third-party hauler costs, costs of data center capacity, certain fees paid to various third parties for the use of their technology, services and data, and employee-related costs, such as salaries and benefits.

Cost of recyclable commodity revenues primarily consists of expenses related to purchases of OCC, ONP, aluminum, glass, pallets and other recyclable materials, and any associated transportation fees.

The Company recognizes the cost of revenue exclusive of any amortization or depreciation expenses, which are recognized in amortization and depreciation expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances –Accounts receivable consists of trade accounts receivable for services provided to customers. Accounts receivable is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon the Company’s assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Past-due balances and other higher-risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowances for accounts receivable were $3.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, and the allowances for contract assets were insignificant.

In cases where customers pay for services in arrears, the Company accrues revenue in advance of billings as long as the criteria for revenue recognition are met, thus creating a contract asset (unbilled receivable). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had unbilled receivables of $52.9 million and $55.2 million, respectively. These unbilled balances were the result of services provided in the period, but not yet billed to the customer. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company invoiced its customers $52.3 million pertaining to contract assets for services delivered prior to December 31, 2022.

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) consist of amounts collected prior to having satisfied the performance obligation. The Company periodically invoices customers for recurring front load services in advance on a monthly basis. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had deferred revenue balances of $6.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $4.6 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2022.

Accrued Hauler Expenses – The Company recognizes hauler costs and the cost of recyclable products when services are performed. Accounting for accrued hauler costs and the cost of recyclable commodities requires estimates and assumptions regarding the quantity of waste collected by the vendors and the frequencies of the collections. The Company estimates quantities and frequencies using historical transaction and market data based on the waste stream composition, equipment type, and equipment size. Accrued hauler expenses are presented within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements – In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the financial assets and financial liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 – Valuations for financial assets and financial liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

Level 2 – Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar financial assets and financial liabilities.

Level 3 – Valuations for financial assets and financial liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such financial assets or financial liabilities.

See Note 14 for further information regarding fair value measurements.

Offering Costs – Offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting, printer, filing and advisory fees related to the Mergers, were deferred and offset against proceeds from the Mergers and additional paid-in capital upon consummation of the Mergers. Deferred offering costs capitalized as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $-0-. The total amount of the offering costs recognized as offset against additional paid-in capital at the Closing was $67.3 million, $60.9 million of which has been settled while the remaining $6.4 million is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The subsequent settlements of offering costs during the three months ended March 31, 2023 resulted in a gain of $0.6 million which is recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. As disclosed in Note 19, the remaining $6.4 million of the offering costs related to the Mergers was waived by the advisor and settled on April 24, 2023, resulting in a gain of $6.4 million.

Customer Acquisition Costs – The Company makes certain expenditures related to acquiring contracts for future services. These expenditures are capitalized and amortized in proportion to the expected future revenue from the customer, which in most cases results in straight-line amortization over the estimated life of the customer. Amortization of these customer incentive costs is presented within amortization and depreciation on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Warrants – The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded in liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability-classified warrants are recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has both liability-classified and equity-classified warrants outstanding. See Note 9 for further information.

Earn-out Liabilities – Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Blocked Unitholders (as defined in Note 3) immediately before the Closing received a right to receive a pro rata portion of 1,488,519 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Class A Shares”) and (ii) Rubicon Continuing Unitholders (as defined in Note 3) immediately before the Closing received a right to receive a pro rata portion of 8,900,840 Class B Units (as defined in Note 3) (“Earn-Out Units”) and an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Class V Common Stock”) (“Earn-Out Class V Shares”, and together with Earn-Out Class A Shares and Earn-Out Units, “Earn-Out Interests”), in each case, depending upon the performance of Class A Common Stock during the five year period after the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”), as set forth below upon satisfaction of any of the following conditions (each, an “Earn-Out Condition”).

Earn-Out Interests were classified as liability transactions at initial issuance, which offset against additional paid-in capital as of the Closing. At each period end, Earn-Out Interests are remeasured to their fair value, with the changes during that period recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations. Upon issuance and release of the shares after each Earn-Out Condition is met, the related Earn-Out Interests will be remeasured to their fair value at that time with the changes recognized as a component of other income (expense), and such Earn-Out Interests will be reclassed to stockholders’ (deficit) equity on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Earn-out Interests had a fair value of $0.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, with the changes in the fair value of $4.8 million recognized as a gain on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities under other income (expense) within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Noncontrolling Interest – Noncontrolling interest represents the Company’s noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries which are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the controlling Class A Common Stock ownership of the Company.

Shares of Class V Common Stock are exchangeable into an equal number of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class V Common Stock are non-economic voting shares in Rubicon Technologies, Inc., where shares of Class V Common Stock each have one vote per share.

The financial results of Holdings LLC were consolidated into Rubicon Technologies, Inc. and 66.1% of Holdings LLC’s net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was allocated to noncontrolling interests (“NCI”).

Income Taxes – Rubicon Technologies, Inc. is a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal as well as state income taxes including the income or loss allocated from its investment in Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC. Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC is taxed as a partnership for which the taxable income or loss is allocated to its members. Certain of the Rubicon Technologies Holdings, LLC operating subsidiaries are considered taxable corporations for U.S. income tax purposes. Prior to the Mergers, Holdings LLC was not subject to U.S. federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”), which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of its assets and liabilities by applying the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Such net tax effects on temporary differences are reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company calculates the interim tax provision in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-270, Income Taxes; Interim Reporting. For interim periods, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate (“AETR”) and applies the estimated rate to the year-to-date income or loss before income taxes.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022, the Company has no tax positions that met this threshold and, therefore, has not recognized such benefits. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimates will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax-related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.

The Company’s income tax expense was $-0- million and $-0- million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with an effective tax rate of (0.2)% and (0.1)%, respectively. The provision for income taxes differs from the amount that would result from applying statutory rates primarily due to loss attributable to noncontrolling interest and differences in the deductibility of certain book and tax expenses, including the changes in fair value of earn-out liabilities and derivatives and certain compensation costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain this position until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowance. The Company also has certain assets with indefinite lives for which the basis is different for book and tax. As a result, the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $0.2 million and $0.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Tax Receivable Agreement Obligation – The Company and Holdings LLC entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement” or “TRA”) with Rubicon Continuing Unitholders (as defined in Note 3) and Blocked Unitholders (as defined in Note 3) (together, the “TRA Holders”). Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, among other things, the Company is required to pay to the TRA Holders 85% of certain of the Company’s realized (or in certain cases deemed realized) tax savings as a result of certain tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and future exchanges of Class B Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. The actual tax benefit, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the TRA, will vary depending on a number of factors, including the price of Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange; the timing of future exchanges; the extent to which exchanges are taxable; the amount and timing of the utilization of tax attributes; the amount, timing and character of the Company’s income; the U.S. federal, state and local tax rates then applicable; the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the increases in tax basis; the timing and amount of any earlier payments that the Company may have made under the TRA; and the portion of the Company’s payments under the TRA that constitute imputed interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis.

The Company accounts for the effects of these increases in tax basis and associated payments under the TRAs if and when exchanges occur as follows:

A TRA liability is determined and recorded under ASC 450, “Contingencies”, as a contingent liability; therefore, the Company is required to evaluate whether the liability is both probable and the amount can be estimated. Since the TRA liability is payable upon cash tax savings and the Company has not determined that positive future taxable income is probable based on the Company’s historical loss position and other factors that make it difficult to rely on forecasts, the Company has not recorded the TRA liability as of March 31, 2023. The Company will evaluate this on a quarterly basis, which may result in an adjustment in the future.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”) – Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Rubicon Technologies, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if converted method, as applicable. Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are antidilutive or subject to performance conditions for which the necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the reporting period. See Note 13 for additional information on dilutive securities.

Prior to the Mergers, the membership structure of Holdings LLC included units with liquidation preferences. The Company analyzed the calculation of loss per unit for periods prior to the Mergers and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, loss per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Closing.

Derivative Financial Instruments – From time to time, the Company utilizes instruments which may contain embedded derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. These derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges; therefore, both realized and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in earnings. For the purposes of cash flow presentation, realized and unrealized gains or losses are included under cash flows from operating activities. Upfront cash payments received upon the issuance of derivative instruments are included within cash flows from financing activities, while the prepayments made upon the issuance of derivative instruments are included within cash flows from investing activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company measures fair value of employee stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and uses the straight-line attribution method to recognize the related expense over the requisite service period, and accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of equity-classified restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units is equal to the market price of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. The liability-classified restricted stock units are recognized at their fair value that is equal to the market price of Class A Common Stock on the date of grant and remeasured to the market price of Class A Common Stock at each period-end with related changes in the fair value recognized in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company accounts for nonemployee stock-based transactions using the fair value of the consideration received (i.e., the value of the goods or services) or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Note 2—Recent accounting pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements adopted during 2023

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans, and available-for-sale debt securities. The Company adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combination (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 will be effective for the Company at the beginning of 2024 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Mergers

As further discussed in Note 1, on August 15, 2022, the Mergers were consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Closing, the following occurred in addition to the disclosures in Note 1:

Property and equipment amortization and depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Note 5—Debt

Revolving Credit Facility – On December 14, 2018, the Company entered into a $60.0 million “Revolving Credit Facility” secured by all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, intellectual property, and general intangibles. The Revolving Credit Facility’s maturity was December 31, 2023 and bore an interest rate of SOFR plus 5.60% (9.7% at December 31, 2022). On February 7, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which (i) increased the maximum borrowing amount under the facility from $60.0 million to $75.0 million and (ii) amended the interest rate it bears to between 4.8% up to SOFR plus 4.9% determined based on certain metrics defined within the amended agreement (9.5% as of March 31, 2023). On March 22, 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Facility, which (i) the Company and the lender modified its maturity date to the earlier of (a) December 14, 2025, (b) the maturity of the Term Loan (as defined below) and (c) the maturity of the Subordinated Term Loan (as defined below) and (ii) the lender consented to an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement. The borrowing capacity is calculated based on qualified billed and unbilled receivables. The fee on the average daily balance of unused loan commitments is 0.70%. Interest and fees are payable monthly with principal due upon maturity. In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company concluded that these Revolving Credit Facility amendments were debt modifications.

The Revolving Credit Facility requires a lockbox arrangement, which provides for receipts to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding at the discretion of the lender. This arrangement, combined with the existence of the subjective acceleration clause in the “Line of Credit” agreement, necessitates the Line of Credit be classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The acceleration clause allows for amounts due under the facility to become immediately due in the event of a material adverse change in the Company’s business condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects, change of management, or change in control.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit were $52.0 million and $9.1 million remained available to draw. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit were $51.8 million and $5.6 million remained available to draw. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. The Company capitalized $0.4 million in deferred debt charges related to the Revolving Credit Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which has been recorded to prepaid expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are expensed over the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred debt charges related to the Revolving Credit Facility were $0.1 million and insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Term Loan Facilities – On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a $20.0 million “Term Loan” agreement secured by a second lien on all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, intellectual property and general intangibles. The Term Loan was subsequently upsized to $60.0 million and bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus 9.5% (13.6% as of December 31, 2022) with the maturity date of the earlier of March 29, 2024 (which was subsequently amended to May 23, 2024 (see Note 19)) or the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility.

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan agreement, in which the lender consented to the amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility agreement and the Subordinated Term Loan agreement. The amended Term Loan agreement requires the Company to cause the Yorkville Investor (See Note 11) to purchase the maximum amount of the Company’s equity interests available under the SEPA (See Note 11) and to utilize the net proceeds from such drawdowns to repay the Term Loan until it is fully repaid. Per the amended Term Loan agreement, an additional fee was incurred in the amount of $2.0 million, out of which $1.0 million became due in cash (included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023) and the other $1.0 million was accrued to the principal balance of the Term Loan as the Company did not repay the Term Loan in full on or before March 27, 2023. Furthermore, beginning on April 3, 2023, an additional $0.15 million fee will accrue to the principal balance of the Term Loan each week thereafter until the Term Loan is fully repaid.

On February 7, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Term Loan agreement, which (i) amended the interest rate the Term Loan bears to SOFR plus 9.6% (14.3% as of March 31, 2023) and (ii) required the Company to make a prepayment of $10.3 million, including $10.0 million of the principal and $0.3 million of the prepayment premium. Pursuant to the amended agreement, the Company made a $10.3 million payment to the Term Loan lender on February 7, 2023 and recorded $0.5 million as a loss on extinguishments of debt obligations on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company concluded that these Term Loan amendments were debt modifications.

The Term Loan includes certain collateral reduction measures which could result in a decreased borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result of the Term Loan collateral reduction, the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by approximately $10.7 million as of March 31, 2023.

The Company did not incur any deferred debt charges related to the Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Amortization of deferred debt charges related to the Term Loan were $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Of these warrants, the 15,812,476 Public Warrants were originally issued in Founder’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and 14,204,375 Private Warrants were originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO (Public Warrants and Private Warrants collectively, the “IPO Warrants”). The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except the Private Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

In accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that the IPO Warrants are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.

The IPO Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the IPO Warrants. The IPO Warrants became exercisable on September 14, 2022, 30 days after the Closing and no IPO Warrants has been exercised through March 31, 2023. The IPO Warrants will expire five years from the Closing or earlier upon redemption.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants and any Private Warrants no longer held by the initial purchaser thereof or its permitted transferee:

Warrant Liabilities – Pursuant to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement entered on December 22, 2021 (see Note 5), the Company concurrently entered into warrant agreements and issued the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants under the condition that if the Company did not repay the Subordinated Term Loan on or prior to the original maturity date of December 22, 2022, the lender would receive the right to purchase up to the number of Class A Common Stock worth $2.0 million, at the exercise price of $0.01 any time after the maturity date prior to the earlier of the date principal and interest on all outstanding term loans under this Subordinated Term Loan agreement are repaid, and the tenth anniversary of the issuance date. Additionally, if the Company did not repay the Subordinated Term Loan on or prior to the maturity date, the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants would be exercisable for additional $0.2 million of Class A Common Stock each additional full calendar month after the maturity date until the Company fully repays the principal and interest in cash (the “Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants”). If the Company repaid the Subordinated Term Loan on or prior to the maturity date, the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants would automatically terminate and be voided and no Subordinated Term Loan Warrant would be exercisable.

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants agreements, which (i) increased the number of Class A Common Stock the lender has the right to purchase with the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants to such number of Class A Common Stock worth $2.6 million, (ii) caused the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants to be immediately exercisable upon execution of the amended Subordinated Term Loan Warrants agreements, and (iii) increased the value of Class A Common Stock the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants will earn each additional full calendar month after March 22, 2023 to $0.25 million until the Company repays the Subordinated Term Loan in full.

On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into the second amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants agreements, which increased the value of Class A Common Stock the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants will earn each additional full calendar month after March 22, 2023 to $0.35 million until the Company repays the Subordinated Term Loan in full.

The Company determined that the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants required liability classification pursuant to ASC 480. As such, the outstanding Subordinated Term Loan Warrants were recognized as warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and were measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. On December 21, 2022, the outstanding Subordinated Term Loan Warrants were converted to Class A Common Stock and reclassified from liability to the stockholders’ deficit (the “Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Conversion Date”). As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no Subordinated Term Loan Warrants were outstanding. The impact to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations from the changes in the fair value of the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants was $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Pursuant to ASC 815, the Company determined that the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants are an embedded derivative. This derivative, referred to throughout as the “Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative,” is recorded as a liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. The Company has performed fair value measurements for this Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative as of the execution dates of the first and second amendments to the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants agreements and as of December 31, 2022, which are described in Note 14.

The Company determined that the YA Warrant required liability classification pursuant to ASC 480. As such, the outstanding YA Warrant was recognized as warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets and was measured at its inception date fair value and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company measured the fair value of the YA Warrant as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and recognized $20.0 million and $20.0 million of warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The fair value of the YA Warrant did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Since its issuance through March 31, 2023, the YA Warrant was not exercisable.

Pursuant to the YA SPA executed with the Yorkville Investor on November 30, 2022 (See Note 11), the Company committed to issue a warrant to an advisor for certain professional services provided in connection with the issuance of the facilities (the “Advisor Warrant”).

Prior to the issuance of the Advisor Warrant, pursuant to ASC 480, the Company recorded the related obligation as warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value as of the date the obligation incurred and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. Upon issuance of the Advisor Warrant on January 16, 2023, the Company remeasured the fair value of the Advisor Warrant and recognized $0.1 million of loss on change in fair value of the Advisor Warrant as a component of other income (expense) on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the remeasured Advisory Warrant was reclassified to stockholders’ (deficit) equity on the issuance date.

This derivative, referred to throughout as the “redemption feature derivative” is recorded as a liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company has performed fair value measurements for this derivative as of the YA Convertible Debentures issuance dates, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 which is described further in Note 14. The Company will remeasure the fair value of the redemption feature derivative each reporting period.

Note 12—Equity-based compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to our 2014 and 2022 Plans (as defined below). As more fully described in Notes 1 and 3, the Company completed the Mergers with Founder on August 15, 2022, and all incentive units and phantom units under the 2014 Plan fully vested as of the Closing Date, and the original operating agreement was terminated and replaced by a new operating agreement consistent with the Company’s Up-C structure.

2014 Plan

The 2014 Profits Participation Plan and Unit Appreciation Rights Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was a board-approved plan of Holdings LLC. Under the 2014 Plan, Holdings LLC had the authority to grant incentive and phantom units to acquire common units. Unit awards generally vested at 25% of the units on the one year anniversary of continued employment, with the remaining 75% vesting in equal monthly installments over the next three years, unless otherwise specified.

As further described in Note 3, upon consummation of the Mergers, all incentive units granted under the 2014 Plan vested and converted into the Class V Common Stock and all phantom units granted under the 2014 Plan converted into RSUs and DSUs which will vest into shares of Class A Common Stock. The unrecognized compensation cost related to the 2014 Plan that was remaining at the Closing was recognized as expense upon consummation of the Mergers.

2022 Plan

The 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which became effective on August 15, 2022 in connection with the Closing, provides for the grant to certain employees, officers, non-employee directors and other services providers of options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, restricted stock and other stock-based awards, any of which may be performance-based, and for incentive bonuses, which may be paid in cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Under the 2022 Plan, 29,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are authorized to be issued. Upon approval by the Company’s board of directors, additional 2,859,270 shares of Class A Common Stock became available for issuance on January 1, 2023 under the 2022 Plan as a result of the plan’s evergreen provision.

The following represents a summary of the Company’s RSU activity and related information during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

The RSUs exchanged for phantom units vested upon the Closing of the Mergers. The remaining RSUs will vest over the requisite service periods ranging from six to thirty-six months from the grant date.

The Company recognized $9.3 million and $2.6 million in total equity compensation costs, including phantom unit expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The majority of RSUs settled during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were net share settled such that the Company withheld shares with a value equivalent to the employees’ obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes and remitted the cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. The total shares withheld were approximately $1.1 million and were based on the value of the RSUs on their respective vesting dates as determined by the Company’s closing stock price. Total payments to the taxing authorities for employees’ tax obligations pertaining to the withheld shares were $1.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, there were 14,234,307 vested RSUs and 540,032 vested DSUs remaining which are expected to be settled in shares of Class A Common Stock prior to December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding RSUs was $9.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

Note 13—Loss per share

Basic net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares.

Prior to the Mergers, the membership structure of Holdings LLC included units which had profit interests. The Company analyzed the calculation of loss per unit for periods prior to the Mergers and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, net loss per share information is not presented for periods prior to August 15, 2022. Shares of the Company’s Class V Common Stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class V Common Stock under the two-class method is not presented.

The computation of net loss per share attributable to Rubicon Technologies, Inc. and weighted-average shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are as follows (amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

The Company’s potentially dilutive securities below were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:
