PROXY STATEMENT FOR
SPECIAL MEETING OF
SANDBRIDGE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
PROSPECTUS FOR
44,116,721 SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
OF
SANDBRIDGE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(WHICH WILL BE RENAMED “OWLET, INC.”
IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)
On February 12, 2021, the board of directors of Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Sandbridge,” “we,” “us” or “our”), unanimously approved a business combination agreement, dated February 15, 2021, by and among Sandbridge, Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Sandbridge (“Merger Sub”), and Owlet Baby Care Inc. (“Owlet”) (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). If the Business Combination Agreement is approved by Sandbridge’s stockholders and the transactions under the Business Combination Agreement are consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet (the “Merger”), with Owlet surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandbridge. In addition, upon the effectiveness of the Proposed Charter (as defined below), Sandbridge will be renamed “Owlet, Inc.” and is referred to herein as “New Owlet” following the consummation (the “Closing”) of the transactions described below (collectively, the “Business Combination”).
As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, Sandbridge’s stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon the Business Combination and the other proposals set forth herein.
As a consequence of the Business Combination, each share of Sandbridge Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Owlet Class A common stock (“New Owlet common stock”). The Business Combination will have no effect on the Sandbridge Class A common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will continue to remain outstanding.
As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, and as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock (as defined herein) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined herein); (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, except that, subject to certain limitations, holders of vested options may instead elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of assumption of a portion of their vested options; and (iii) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the Owlet Restricted Stock.
In addition, Sandbridge will file the proposed amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be adopted by Sandbridge pursuant to the proposals set forth herein (the “Proposed Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, such Proposed Charter to be effective simultaneous with the Effective Time.
In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Financing”).
The total maximum number of shares of New Owlet common stock expected to be outstanding immediately following the Closing is approximately 132,216,363, assuming no redemptions, comprising (i) 90,466,363 shares of New Owlet common stock issued to Owlet stockholders in the Merger, (ii) 13,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock issued in connection with the Closing to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Financing, (iii) 5,750,000 shares of New Owlet common stock issued to holders of shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock outstanding at the Effective Time, 2,807,500 shares of which will be subject to vesting following the Effective Time, and (iv) 23,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock to be held by holders of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock outstanding at the Effective Time. Holders of shares of Owlet capital stock are expected to hold, in the aggregate, approximately 68.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Owlet common stock and approximately 68.4% of the combined voting power of New Owlet immediately following the Closing, in each case assuming no redemptions. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the ownership percentages in New Owlet will be different.
Sandbridge’s units, Class A common stock and public warrants are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbols “SBG.U,” “SBG” and “SBG WT,” respectively. Sandbridge intends to apply to list the New Owlet common stock and public warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “OWLT” and “OWLT WS,” respectively, upon the Closing. New Owlet will not have units traded following the Closing.
Sandbridge will hold a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider matters relating to the Business Combination. Sandbridge cannot complete the Business Combination unless Sandbridge’s stockholders consent to the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Sandbridge is sending you this proxy statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of these and the other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
In connection with our initial public offering, our initial stockholders and our other directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering entered into a letter agreement to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Transaction Proposals (as defined herein) being presented at the Special Meeting, all of which are unanimously recommended by the Sandbridge Board. The shares held by Sandbridge Acquisition Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), our other initial stockholders and our other directors and officers and the PIMCO private funds that are obligated to vote in favor of the Business Combination represent approximately 27% of the voting power of Sandbridge.
Unless adjourned, the Special Meeting of the stockholders of Sandbridge will be held at      , New York City time, on              , 2021, in virtual format.
This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the Business Combination. It also contains or references information about Sandbridge and New Owlet and certain related matters. Please read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should read the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 34 for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the Business Combination and how it will affect you.

Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

After careful consideration, the Sandbridge Board has determined that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, including the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.
The existence of financial and personal interests of Sandbridge’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what they may believe is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. For instance, ownership of founder shares by Ramez Toubassy, Domenico De Sole and Michael F. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion.
Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Required Transaction Proposals presented at the Special Meeting is a condition to the Closing. The adoption of each Required Transaction Proposal is conditioned on the approval of all of the Required Transaction Proposals. If our stockholders do not approve each of the Required Transaction Proposals, the Business Combination may not be consummated. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and certain initial stockholders, directors and officers entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor and each other holder of founder shares has agreed, among other things, (a) to appear at the Special Meeting or otherwise cause its shares to be counted as present for the purpose of establishing quorum; (b) to vote (or execute a written consent), or cause to be voted (or consent to be granted) any Sandbridge common stock and founder shares owned by it, him or her at such special meeting in person, or by proxy, in favor of the Business Combination and the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (c) to vote (or execute a written consent) or cause to be voted (or consent to be granted) any Sandbridge common stock or founder shares owned by it, him or her at such special meeting in person, or by proxy, against any alternative business combination or any action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Business Combination or any of the related transactions or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sandbridge under the Business Combination Agreement or the Sponsor under the Sponsor Letter Agreement and (d) not redeem any shares of founder shares owned by it, him or her in connection with the stockholder approval. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, a percentage of New Owlet common stock held by the Sponsor will be subject to certain time and performance-based vesting provisions. For additional information, see “Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement.”
Pursuant to the Current Charter, a holder of public shares (a “public stockholder”) may request that Sandbridge redeem all or a portion of its public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a public stockholder, and assuming the Business Combination is consummated, you will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i)
(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and
(ii)
prior to     , New York City time, on      , 2021, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, telephone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sandbridge’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), that Sandbridge redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If the Business Combination is consummated and a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its shares to the Transfer Agent, we will redeem each public share for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account established in connection with our initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the Closing, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per public share. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with our consent, until the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”). If a holder of a public share delivers its shares in connection with an election to redeem and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Sandbridge instruct the Transfer Agent to return the shares (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “The Special Meeting—Redemption Rights” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Financing”).
The total maximum number of shares of New Owlet common stock expected to be outstanding immediately following the Closing is approximately 132,216,363, assuming no redemptions, comprising (i) 90,466,363 shares of New Owlet common stock issued to Owlet equityholders in the Merger, (ii) 13,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock issued in connection with the Closing to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Financing, (iii) 5,750,000 shares of New Owlet common stock issued to holders of shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock outstanding at the Effective Time, 2,807,500 shares of which will be subject to vesting following the Effective Time, and (iv) 23,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock to be held by holders of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock outstanding at the Effective Time.
All Sandbridge stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting, which will be held in virtual format. You will not be able to physically attend the Special Meeting. To ensure your representation at the Special Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible or submit your proxy by following the instructions contained on your proxy card. If you are a stockholder of record holding shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock or Sandbridge Class B common stock, you may also cast your vote at the Special Meeting electronically by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SBG2021SM. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote electronically, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank. The Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, if you do not vote or do not instruct your broker or bank how to vote, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Charter Amendment Proposal. Along with the Charter Proposal, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast,” therefore for purposes of approval, abstentions will also be

The forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us and/or Owlet. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us and/or Owlet will be those that we and/or the Owlet have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control or the control of Owlet) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following risks, uncertainties and other factors:

the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Sandbridge and Owlet following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close;

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR STOCKHOLDERS OF SANDBRIDGE
The following are answers to certain questions that you may have regarding the Business Combination and the Special Meeting. Sandbridge urges you to read carefully the remainder of this document because the information in this section may not provide all the information that might be important to you in determining how to vote. Additional important information is also contained in the appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference in, this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?
A:
Sandbridge is proposing to consummate the Business Combination with Owlet. Sandbridge, Merger Sub and Owlet have entered into the Business Combination Agreement, the terms of which are described in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A. Sandbridge urges its stockholders to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety.
Sandbridge is holding a Special Meeting to obtain the approval of Sandbridge stockholders of the Business Combination Agreement. Sandbridge stockholders will also be asked to vote on certain other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus at the Special Meeting and to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Business Combination Agreement and thereby approve the Business Combination.
THE VOTE OF SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO SUBMIT THEIR PROXIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND CAREFULLY CONSIDERING EACH OF THE PROPOSALS BEING PRESENTED AT THE MEETING.
Q:
Why is Sandbridge proposing the Business Combination?
A:
Sandbridge was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination.
Based on its due diligence investigations of Owlet and the industries in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Owlet in the course of Sandbridge’s due diligence investigations, the Sandbridge Board believes that the Business Combination with Owlet is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and presents an opportunity to increase stockholder value. However, there can be no assurances of this.
Although the Sandbridge Board believes that the Business Combination with Owlet presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders, the Sandbridge Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. See “The Business Combination Proposal - Sandbridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination” for a discussion of the factors considered by the Sandbridge Board in making its decision.
Q:
When and where will the Special Meeting take place?
A:
The Special Meeting will be held on       , 2021, at     local time, via live webcast at the following address: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SBG2021SM, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals. To participate in the Special Meeting, a Sandbridge stockholder of record will need the 16-digit control number included on their proxy card or instructions that accompanied their proxy materials, if applicable, or to obtain a proxy form from their broker, bank or other nominee.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:
What matters will be considered at the Special Meeting?
A:
The Sandbridge stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:
The Business Combination Proposal, which is a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination;
The Charter Amendment Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved and adopted, the Proposed Charter, which will replace the Current Charter, including the proposals to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis and as required by applicable SEC guidance, certain material differences between the Current Charter and the Proposed Charter (the “Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals”);
The NYSE Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved and adopted, for the purposes of complying with the applicable listing rules of the NYSE, the issuance of (i) 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Financing, plus any additional shares pursuant to Subscription Agreements we may enter into prior to Closing, and (ii) an aggregate of up to 102,500,000 shares of New Owlet common stock to existing Owlet equityholders pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement;
The Incentive Award Plan Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the NYSE Proposal are approved and adopted, the New Owlet Incentive Award Plan;
The ESPP Proposal, which is a proposal to approve, assuming the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the New Owlet Incentive Award Plan are approved and adopted, the New Owlet ESPP; and
The Adjournment Proposal, which is a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the Required Transaction Proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement is not satisfied or waived.
Q:
Is my vote important?
A:
Yes. The Business Combination cannot be completed unless the Business Combination Proposal receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon and the other Required Transaction Proposals achieve the necessary vote outlined below. Only Sandbridge stockholders as of the close of business on    , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The Sandbridge Board unanimously recommends that such Sandbridge stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, including, on an advisory basis, the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal, and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.
Q:
If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, will my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee automatically vote those shares for me?
A:
No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you also have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. If you decide to vote, you should provide instructions

to your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other nominee. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the Special Meeting will need the 16-digit meeting control number included on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials, if applicable, or to obtain a proxy form from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Q:
What Sandbridge stockholder vote is required for the approval of each proposal brought before the Special Meeting? What will happen if I fail to vote or abstain from voting on each proposal?
A:
The Business Combination Proposal. Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. In connection with our initial public offering, our initial stockholders and our other directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering entered into a letter agreement to vote their founder shares and any public shares acquired by them during or after the initial public offering in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Transaction Proposals being presented at the Special Meeting, all of which are unanimously recommended by the Sandbridge Board. The shares held by our Sponsor, our other initial stockholders and our other directors and officers that are obligated to vote in favor of the Business Combination represent approximately 27% of the voting power of Sandbridge. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal.
The Charter Amendment Proposal. Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as votes against this proposal.
The Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals. Approval of each of the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.
The NYSE Proposal. Approval of the NYSE Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal.
The Incentive Award Plan Proposal. Approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal.
The ESPP Proposal. Approval of the ESPP requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal.
The Adjournment Proposal. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The failure to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.
Q:
What will Owlet’s equityholders receive in connection with the Business Combination?
A:
As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock (as defined herein) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, except that, subject to limitations, holders of vested options may instead elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of assumption of a portion of their vested options (subject to certain caps); and (iii) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the Owlet Restricted Stock.
Q:
What voting power will current Sandbridge stockholders and Owlet stockholders hold in New Owlet immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?
A:
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, the voting power in New Owlet will be as set forth in the table below:

Of such shares, 2,807,500 shares of New Owlet common stock will be outstanding following the Closing but will remain subject to price-based performance vesting terms as described in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.
Q:
What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?
A:
A total of $230 million, including approximately $8.05 million of underwriters’ deferred discount and approximately $4.6 million of the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants, was placed in the Trust Account and is maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of December 31, 2020, there were investments and cash held in the Trust Account of $230,053,249. These funds will not be released until the earlier of Closing or the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, during any stockholder-approved extension period, although we may withdraw the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account to pay franchise and income taxes. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the funds remaining in the Trust Account will be released and, together with the proceeds of the PIPE Financing, if any, will remain on the balance sheet of New Owlet.
Q:
What happens if a substantial number of the public stockholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption right?
A:
Sandbridge stockholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may also nevertheless exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public stockholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public stockholders. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, Sandbridge having an aggregate cash amount of at least $140 million available at Closing from the Trust Account, after certain fees and expenses (the “Available Sandbridge Cash,” and such condition to the consummation of the Business Combination, the “Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount” (though this condition may be waived by Owlet)). In addition, with fewer public shares and public stockholders, the trading market for New Owlet common stock may be less liquid than it otherwise would

have been, and New Owlet may not be able to meet the listing standards for the NYSE or another national securities exchange. In addition, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the working capital infusion from the Trust Account into New Owlet’s business will be reduced. As a result, the proceeds will be greater in the event that no public stockholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account as opposed to the scenario in which Sandbridge’s public stockholders exercise the maximum allowed redemption rights.
Q:
What amendments will be made to the Current Charter?
A:
We are asking Sandbridge stockholders to approve the Proposed Charter that will be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Proposed Charter provides for various changes that the Sandbridge Board believes are necessary to address the needs of the post-combination company, including, among other things: (i) the change of Sandbridge’s name to “Owlet, Inc.”; (ii) the increase of the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, from 111,000,000 shares to 1,100,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share; (iii) changes to the required vote to amend the charter and bylaws; and (iv) the elimination of certain provisions specific to Sandbridge’s status as a blank check company.
Pursuant to Delaware law and the Current Charter, Sandbridge is required to submit the Charter Amendment Proposal to Sandbridge’s stockholders for approval. For additional information, see the section titled “The Charter Amendment Proposal.”
Q:
Did the Sandbridge Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?
A:
No. The Sandbridge Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. However, Sandbridge’s management, the members of the Sandbridge Board and the other representatives of Sandbridge have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies similar to Owlet and reviewed certain financial information of Owlet and compared it to certain publicly traded companies, selected based on the experience and the professional judgment of Sandbridge’s management team, which enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Sandbridge Board in valuing Owlet’s business and assuming the risk that the Sandbridge Board may not have properly valued such business.
Q:
Do I have redemption rights?
A:
If you are a public stockholder, you have the right to request that Sandbridge redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash, provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “The Special Meeting - Redemption Rights.” Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. We sometimes refer to these rights to elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares into a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account as “redemption rights.” If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
Q:
How do I exercise my redemption rights?
A:
If you are a public shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem your public shares, you must:
(i)
(a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares;
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii)
prior to     p.m., New York City time, on       , 2021, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, telephone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Sandbridge’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) that Sandbridge redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).
The address of the Transfer Agent is listed under the question “Whom do I call if I have questions about the Special Meeting or the Business Combination?” below.
Holders of units must elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, directly and instruct them to do so.
Any public stockholder will be entitled to request that their public shares be redeemed for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. For illustrative purposes, as of December 31, 2021, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per public share. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public stockholders, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally anticipated due to such claims. Your vote on any proposal other than the Business Combination Proposal will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your redemption rights. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to public stockholders electing to redeem their public shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.
If you are a holder of public shares, you may exercise your redemption rights by submitting your request in writing to the Transfer Agent at the address listed under the question “Whom do I call if I have questions about the Special Meeting or the Business Combination?” below.
Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is       , 2021 (two business days prior to the date of the Special Meeting), and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If you deliver your shares for redemption to the Transfer Agent and later decide prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect redemption, you may request that Sandbridge instruct the Transfer Agent to return the shares to you (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent at the telephone number or address listed at the end of this section.
Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by Sandbridge’s Corporate Secretary prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s stock has been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent by       , New York City time, on       , 2021.
If you are a holder of public shares and you exercise your redemption rights, it will not result in the loss of any Sandbridge warrants that you may hold.
Q:
If I am a holder of units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?
A:
No. Holders of outstanding units must first elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so. If you fail to cause your units to be separated and delivered to the Transfer Agent by       , 2021, you will not be able to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares.

Q:
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?
A:
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling your public shares for cash and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of public shares that you own or are deemed to own (including through the ownership of New Owlet warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.
Q:
How does the Sandbridge Board recommend that I vote?
A:
The Sandbridge Board recommends that the Sandbridge stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, including the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, “FOR” for the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. For more information regarding how the Sandbridge Board recommends that Sandbridge stockholders vote, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal - Sandbridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”
Q:
How do our Sponsor and the other initial stockholders intend to vote their shares?
A:
In connection with our initial public offering, our initial stockholders and our other directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering entered into a letter agreement to vote their founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased by them during or after our initial public offering, in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Transaction Proposals, all of which are unanimously recommended by the Sandbridge Board, being presented at the Special Meeting. These stockholders collectively own approximately 27% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Q:
May our Sponsor and the other initial stockholders purchase public shares or warrants prior to the Special Meeting?
A:
At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding Sandbridge or its securities, the initial stockholders, Owlet and/or their respective affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or not redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such transaction could be to (i) vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) increase the likelihood that the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount is satisfied. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood that the Business Combination is consummated. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by Sandbridge’s initial stockholders for nominal value.
Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on public shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.
If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be completed in circumstances where it might not otherwise have occurred. Purchases of a significant number of public shares by the persons described above could allow them to exert more influence over the approval
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Such purchases also would likely reduce the number of redemptions of our public shares in connection with the Business Combination, making it more likely that we would satisfy the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount closing condition. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are no such agreements or arrangements. Sandbridge will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting or which include a contractual waiver of redemption rights.
Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?
A:
The Sandbridge Board has fixed    , 2021 as the record date for the Special Meeting. All holders of record of Sandbridge common stock as of the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting, provided that those shares remain outstanding on the date of the Special Meeting. Physical attendance at the Special Meeting is not required to vote. See the question “How can I vote my shares without attending the Special Meeting?” below for instructions on how to vote your Sandbridge common stock without attending the Special Meeting.
Q:
How many votes do I have?
A:
Each Sandbridge stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each share of Sandbridge common stock held by such holder as of the close of business on the record date. As of the close of business on    , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were      outstanding shares of Sandbridge common stock.
Q:
What constitutes a quorum for the Special Meeting?
A:
A quorum is the minimum number of stockholders necessary to hold a valid meeting.
A quorum will exist at the Special Meeting with respect to each matter to be considered at the Special Meeting if the holders of shares of outstanding Sandbridge common stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of Sandbridge entitled to vote at the Special Meeting as of the record date are present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. All shares represented by proxy are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.
Q:
What is Owlet?
A:
Owlet Baby Care Inc. was founded on a commitment to designing and selling products and services that empower parents with technology and data to proactively monitor the health and wellness of their children from conception to kindergarten. Owlet’s ecosystem of connected smart products, which currently includes its flagship Owlet Smart Sock, the Owlet Cam and Owlet Dream Lab, is helping to transform modern parenting by bringing simplified child monitoring solutions in-home so parents can rest easier. The Owlet Smart Sock is intended for use by healthy infants of up to 18 months of age. The Owlet Cam can be used by parents to help monitor children of any age. Owlet Dream Lab is an interactive online platform that assists families in building healthy sleep habits with their babies of up to 12 months in age.
Q:
What will happen to my shares of Sandbridge common stock as a result of the Business Combination?
A:
If the Business Combination is completed, each share of Sandbridge Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Owlet common stock. The Business Combination will have no effect on Sandbridge Class A common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will continue to remain outstanding. See the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal - Consideration to the Owlet Stockholders.”
Q:
Where will the New Owlet common stock that Sandbridge stockholders receive in the Business Combination be publicly traded?
A:
Assuming the Business Combination is completed, the shares of New Owlet common stock (including the
8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shares of New Owlet common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination) will be listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “OWLT” and the public warrants will be listed and traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “OWLT WS.”
Q:
What happens if the Business Combination is not completed?
A:
If the Business Combination Agreement is not approved by the Sandbridge stockholders or if the Business Combination is not completed for any other reason by July 31, 2021, then we will seek to consummate an alternative initial business combination prior to September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. If we do not consummate an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and redeem our public shares and liquidate the Trust Account, in which case our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.

Q:
What is a proxy?
A:
A proxy is a legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. If you are a stockholder of record of Sandbridge common stock as of the close of business on the record date, and you vote by telephone, by Internet or by signing, dating and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, you designate two of Sandbridge’s officers as your proxies at the Special Meeting, each with full power to act without the other and with full power of substitution. These two officers are Ken Suslow and Richard Henry.
Q:
What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A:
If your shares of Sandbridge common stock are registered directly in your name with the Transfer Agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and access to proxy materials is being provided directly to you. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, then you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, which are considered to be held in street name. Access to proxy materials is being provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares.
Direct holders (stockholders of record). For shares of Sandbridge common stock held directly by you, please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card (or cast your vote by telephone or Internet as provided on each proxy card) or otherwise follow the voting instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to ensure that all of your shares of Sandbridge common stock are voted.
Shares in “street name.” For Sandbridge common stock held in “street name” through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you should follow the procedures provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to vote your shares.
Q:
If a Sandbridge stockholder gives a proxy, how will the Sandbridge common stock covered by the proxy be voted?
A:
If you provide a proxy by returning the applicable enclosed proxy card, the individuals named on the enclosed proxy card will vote your Sandbridge common stock in the way that you indicate when providing your proxy in respect of the Sandbridge common stock you hold. When completing the proxy card, you may specify whether your Sandbridge common stock should be voted “FOR” or “AGAINST”, or should be abstained from voting on, all, some or none of the specific items of business to come before the Special Meeting.
Q:
How will my Sandbridge common stock be voted if I return a blank proxy?
A:
If you sign, date and return your proxy and do not indicate how you want your Sandbridge common stock to be voted, then your Sandbridge common stock will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, including the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, “FOR” for the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.
Q:
Can I change my vote after I have submitted my proxy?
A:
Yes. If you are a stockholder of record of Sandbridge common stock as of the close of business on the record date, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting in one of the following ways:
submit a new proxy card bearing a later date;
give written notice of your revocation to Sandbridge’s Corporate Secretary, which notice must be received by Sandbridge’s Corporate Secretary prior to the vote at the Special Meeting; or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any proxy that you submitted may also be revoked by submitting a new proxy by mail, or online or by telephone, not later than 11:59 p.m. New York City time on    , 2021. If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee as of the close of business on the record date, you must follow the instructions of your broker, bank or other nominee to revoke or change your voting instructions.
Q:
Where can I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?
A:
The preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Special Meeting. In addition, within four business days following certification of the final voting results, Sandbridge will file the final voting results of its Special Meeting with the SEC in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Q:
Are Sandbridge stockholders able to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights with respect to the matters being voted upon at the Special Meeting?
A:
No. Sandbridge stockholders are not entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination. Dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights are unavailable under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination to holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock because it is currently listed on a national securities exchange and such holders are not receiving any consideration. Holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock may vote against the Business Combination Proposal or redeem their shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock if they are not in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination. Dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights are unavailable under Delaware law in connection with the Business Combination to holders of Sandbridge Class B common stock because they have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination.
Q:
Are there any risks that I should consider as a Sandbridge stockholder in deciding how to vote or whether to exercise my redemption rights?
A:
Yes. You should read and carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus. You also should read and carefully consider the risk factors of Sandbridge and Owlet contained in the documents that are incorporated by reference herein.
Q:
What happens if I sell my Sandbridge common stock before the Special Meeting?
A:
The record date for Sandbridge stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Sandbridge common stock before the record date, you will not be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. If you transfer your shares of Sandbridge common stock after the record date but before the Special Meeting, you will, unless special arrangements are made, retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting but will transfer the right to hold New Owlet common stock to the person to whom you transfer your Sandbridge common stock.
Q:
What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to me?
A:
Certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to you in respect of the Business Combination are discussed in more detail in the section titled “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” The discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences contained in this proxy statement/prospectus is intended to provide only a general discussion and is not a complete analysis or description of all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that are applicable to you in respect of the Business Combination, nor does it address any tax considerations arising under U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax laws.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Business Combination Agreement by the Sandbridge stockholders at the Special Meeting, the Business Combination is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021. However, it is possible that factors outside the control of both Sandbridge and Owlet could result in the Business Combination being completed at a later time, or not being completed at all.
Q:
Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?
A:
Sandbridge has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”), to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Sandbridge has agreed to pay Okapi a fee for such services, which it expects will be approximately $20,000. In addition, Sandbridge will reimburse Okapi for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Okapi and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Sandbridge will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of our common stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Sandbridge’s management team may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.
Q:
What are the conditions to completion of the Business Combination?
A:
The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the following non-waivable conditions: (i) the approval by our stockholders of the Required Transaction Proposals and the approval by Owlet’s stockholders of the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) after giving effect to the Transactions, Sandbridge having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the Effective Time; (iv) the absence of any legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the Business Combination; and (v) this proxy statement/registration statement having been declared effective by the SEC.
The consummation of the Business Combination is also conditioned upon the following waivable conditions: (i) the truth and correctness of each party’s representations and warranties made in the Business Combination Agreement (subject to waiver by the other party); (ii) each party’s compliance with the covenants in the Business Combination Agreement (subject to waiver by the other party); (iii) the delivery to each party by the other party of certificates, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement (subject to waiver by the other party); and (iv) immediately following the Effective Time, Sandbridge having satisfied any applicable continuing listing requirements of the NYSE (subject to waiver by agreement of both parties). In addition, the consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount, which condition is waivable by Owlet, and the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect, which condition is waivable by Sandbridge. Therefore, unless these conditions are validly waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated.
Q:
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?
A:
Stockholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares.

The Business Combination and the Business Combination Agreement
As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Sandbridge is asking its stockholders to approve the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination, pursuant to which, among other things, on the date of Closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet, with Owlet as the surviving corporation in the Business Combination and, after giving effect to such Business Combination, Owlet will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandbridge. As a consequence of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of Sandbridge Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Owlet common stock. The Business Combination will have no effect on the Sandbridge Class A common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will continue to remain outstanding. As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock (as defined herein) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is not a Cash Elected Option and is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange

Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; (iii) subject to certain limitations, each Cash Elected Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration; and (iv) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the Owlet Restricted Stock.
After consideration of the reasons identified and discussed in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal - Sandbridge’s Board of Directors’ Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Sandbridge Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for Sandbridge’s initial public offering, including that the aggregate fair market value of the proposed Business Combination was at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, see “The Business Combination Proposal.”

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Owlet will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandbridge. In addition, Sandbridge will file the Proposed Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, such Proposed Charter to be effective simultaneous with the Effective Time.
The following is a depiction of Owlet’s organizational structure before the consummation of the Business Combination:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including, among others, the following:
by the mutual written consent of Sandbridge and Owlet;
by Sandbridge, subject to certain exceptions, if any of the representations or warranties made by Owlet are not true and correct or if Owlet fails to perform any of its respective covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) such that certain conditions to the obligations of Sandbridge, as described in the section titled “The Business Combination Agreement - Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” below could not be satisfied and the breach (or breaches) of such representations or warranties or failure (or failures) to perform such covenants or agreements is (or are) not cured or cannot be cured within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, and (ii) the Termination Date;
by Owlet, subject to certain exceptions, if any of the representations or warranties made by the Sandbridge Parties are not true and correct or if any Sandbridge Party fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements under the Business Combination Agreement (including an obligation to consummate the Closing) such that the condition to the obligations of Owlet, as described in the section titled “The Business Combination Agreement - Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” below could not be satisfied and the breach (or breaches) of such representations or warranties or failure (or failures) to perform such covenants or agreements is (or are) not cured or cannot be cured within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, and (ii) the Termination Date;
by either Sandbridge or Owlet,
if the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement have not been consummated on or prior to the Termination Date, unless the breach of any covenants or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement by the party seeking to terminate proximately caused the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement;
if any governmental entity has issued an order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and such order or other action has become final and nonappealable;
if the approval of the Required Transaction Proposals are not obtained at the Special Meeting (including any adjournment thereof); and
by Sandbridge, if Owlet does not deliver, or cause to be delivered to Sandbridge, the Owlet stockholder written consent when required under the Business Combination Agreement.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to the Current Charter, a public stockholder may request that Sandbridge redeem all or a portion of their public shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and
prior to    p.m., New York City time, on       , 2021, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, telephone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to the Transfer Agent that Sandbridge redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.
As noted above, holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. Holders may instruct their broker to do so, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct them to do so. Public stockholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the public shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a public stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its public shares and timely delivers its public shares to the Transfer Agent, Sandbridge will redeem such public shares upon the Closing for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. See “The Special Meeting - Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your public shares for cash.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of public shares, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its public shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
Holders of our warrants will not have redemption rights with respect to the warrants.
No Delaware Appraisal Rights For Holders of Sandbridge Common Stock
Appraisal rights are statutory rights under the DGCL that enable stockholders who object to certain extraordinary transactions to demand that the corporation pay such stockholders the fair value of their shares instead of receiving the consideration offered to stockholders in connection with the extraordinary transaction. However, appraisal rights are not available in all circumstances. Appraisal rights are not available to Sandbridge stockholders or warrant holders in connection with the Business Combination.
Proxy Solicitation
Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Sandbridge has engaged Okapi to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares at the Special Meeting if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section titled “The Special Meeting - Revoking Your Proxy.”
Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination
When you consider the recommendation of the Sandbridge Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Sandbridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Sandbridge stockholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less 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), subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to our founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial
21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share and, in August 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. Goss. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will remain outstanding, subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction.
In connection with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020, for one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $11.8 million based upon the closing price of $1.79 per public warrant on the NYSE on February 12, 2021. Upon the Closing, the private placement warrants will become 6,600,000 warrants to purchase shares of New Owlet common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain contractual restrictions on transfer.
Our initial stockholders, including certain of our officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, including their initial investment in the founder shares and their at-risk capital, for which the Sponsor received 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Our initial stockholders, officers and directors own an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares, which were purchased prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The PIPE Investors include the PIMCO private funds and certain other investors designated by our Sponsor.
Certain of our officers and directors are expected to continue to serve as directors of New Owlet after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Owlet Board determines to pay to its directors.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the 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 (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) 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 $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of Sandbridge’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.
Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and any of their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating,
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

negotiating and completing an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Sandbridge from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. None of the Sponsor, our directors and officers or any of their respective affiliates have incurred any out-of-pocket expenses.
At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sandbridge or its securities, the initial stockholders, Owlet and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or not redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such transaction 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) increase the likelihood that the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount is satisfied. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by Sandbridge’s initial stockholders for nominal value.
Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the market price of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.
If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect have been entered into with any such investor or holder.
The existence of financial and personal interests of the Sandbridge directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of them between what such director or officer may believe is best for Sandbridge and what he may believe is best for him in determining whether or not to grant a waiver in a specific situation. For instance, ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction. See “Risk Factors” and “The Business Combination Proposal - Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of this and other risks.
Stock Exchange Listing

Consists of $8.05 million in deferred underwriting commissions from Sandbridge’s initial public offering, $4.23 million in placement agent fees in connection with the PIPE Investment, $8 million in Owlet financial advisory fees, $6.5 million in legal fees, $2.22 million in accounting fees, and an estimated $6 million in miscellaneous fees and expenses, including consulting fees, proxy solicitation fees, SEC registration fees, printing fees and audit fees.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Sandbridge will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Owlet issuing stock for the net assets of Sandbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Sandbridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Owlet has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:
Owlet stockholders will have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;
the board of directors of the post-combination company will have up to nine members, and Owlet will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;
Owlet management will continue to hold executive management roles for the post-combination company and be responsible for the day-to-day operations;
the post-combination company will assume the Owlet name;
the post-combination company will maintain the current Owlet headquarters; and
the intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue Owlet’s current strategy of product development and market penetration.
The preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Owlet is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the post-combination company will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Owlet with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Owlet issuing stock for the net assets of Sandbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Sandbridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of Sandbridge stockholders who become New Owlet stockholders in the Business Combination will no longer be governed by the Current Charter and Sandbridge’s Bylaws and instead will be governed by the Proposed Charter and New Owlet Bylaws. See “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights.”
Summary of Risk Factors
In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, a Sandbridge stockholder should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors.”
Some of the risks related to Owlet’s business and industry are summarized below. References in the summary below to “Owlet” generally refer to Owlet in the present tense or New Owlet from and after the Business Combination.
Owlet has a limited operating history and has grown significantly in a short period of time. Owlet needs to continue to increase the size of its organization and, if unable to manage its growth effectively, Owlet’s business could be materially and adversely affected.
Owlet has a history of net losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
If the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or any other governmental authority were to require marketing authorization for the Owlet Smart Sock, or for any other product that Owlet sells and which Owlet does not believe requires such marketing authorization, Owlet could be required to cease selling or recall the product pending receipt of marketing authorization from the FDA or such other governmental authority, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, harm financial results and Owlet may also be subject to regulatory enforcement action.
Owlet is required to obtain and maintain marketing authorizations from the FDA for any products intended to be and/or classified as medical device products in the United States, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, and a failure to do so on a timely basis, or at all, could severely harm Owlet’s business.
Owlet currently relies on sales of its Owlet Smart Sock technologies and related products for the majority of its revenue and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
A substantial portion of Owlet sales comes through a limited number of channel partners and resellers.
Owlet currently relies on a single manufacturer for the assembly of the Owlet Smart Sock and a single manufacturer for the assembly of the Owlet Cam and expects to rely on limited manufacturers for future products. If Owlet encounters manufacturing problems or delays, Owlet may be unable to promptly transition to alternative manufacturers and its ability to generate revenue will be limited.
If Owlet is unable to obtain key materials and components from sole or limited source suppliers, Owlet will not be able to deliver its products to customers.
If Owlet is unable to adequately protect its intellectual property rights, or if Owlet is accused of infringing on the intellectual property rights of others, its competitive position could be harmed or Owlet could be required to incur significant expenses to enforce or defend its rights or to pay damages.
Owlet relies significantly on information technology (“IT”) and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could lead to misappropriation of confidential or otherwise protected information and harm Owlet’s business and its ability to operate our business effectively.
Owlet faces the risk of product liability claims and the amount of insurance coverage held now or in the future may not be adequate to cover all liabilities Owlet might incur.
Increased expansion into international markets will expose Owlet to additional business, political, regulatory, operational, financial and economic risks.
25

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Owlet may be required to obtain and maintain regulatory authorizations in order to commercialize its products in international markets, and failure to obtain regulatory authorizations in relevant foreign jurisdictions may prevent Owlet from marketing medical device products abroad.
Customer or third-party complaints or negative reviews or publicity about Owlet or its products and services could harm Owlet’s reputation and brand.
Some of Owlet’s products and services are in development or have been recently introduced into the market and may not achieve market acceptance, which could limit Owlet’s growth and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Owlet may acquire other businesses or form other joint ventures or make investments in other companies or technologies but has no experience in doing so. These types of transactions could negatively affect Owlet’s operating results, dilute its stockholders’ ownership, increase debt or lead to significant expense or lose focus on core operations.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or cause our access to the capital markets to be impaired.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to execute our strategic plan following the Business Combination and related transactions, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Owlet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and growth may be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following the Business Combination, Owlet will incur increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements as a result of becoming a public company.
Emerging Growth Company
Sandbridge is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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. Immediately following the Business Combination, we expect that New Owlet will continue to be an emerging growth company.
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 registration statement under the Securities Act declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. 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, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of New Owlet’s financial statements with those of another public company that is not an emerging growth company or is 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.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of Sandbridge’s initial public offering, (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 common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which we have issued
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.
Smaller Reporting Company
Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical balance sheet of Sandbridge and the historical balance sheet of Owlet on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combine the historical statements of operations of Sandbridge and Owlet for such periods on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the notes thereto, which is included in this proxy statement/prospectus under the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information”.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the post-combination company. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on the information currently available. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to the following events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Business Combination. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption of Sandbridge’s Class A common stock into cash:
Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders of Sandbridge exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.
Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes 7,000,000 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in Trust Account for aggregate redemption payments of $70.0 million. The Business Combination Agreement includes as a condition to closing the Business Combination that, at the Closing, Sandbridge will have a minimum of $140.0 million in cash comprising the cash held in the Trust Account after deducting (x) amounts payable for Sandbridge share redemptions and (y) deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account and Sandbridge’s expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Sandbridge’s operations (such commissions and expenses estimated to be $20.0 million), but excluding the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by Sandbridge prior to or substantially concurrent with the Closing. This scenario is based on satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount condition.

historical per share information of Sandbridge for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020;
historical per share information of Owlet for the year ended December 31, 2020; and
unaudited pro forma per share information of the combined company for the year ended December 31, 2020 after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:
Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders of Sandbridge exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.
Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that 7,000,000 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account for aggregate redemption payments of $70.0 million. The Business Combination Agreement includes as a condition to closing the Business Combination that, at the Closing, Sandbridge will have a minimum of $140.0 million in cash generated from the cash held in the Trust Account after deducting (x) amounts payable for Sandbridge share redemptions and (y) deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account and Sandbridge’s expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Sandbridge’s operations (such commissions and expenses estimated to be $20.0 million), and disregarding the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by Sandbridge prior to or substantially concurrent with the Closing. This scenario is based on satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount Condition.

Risks Related to New Owlet’s Business and Operations
We have a limited operating history and have grown significantly in a short period of time. We will need to continue to increase the size of our organization and, if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
We were organized in 2014 and began selling our Owlet Smart Sock in 2015 and our Owlet Cam in 2018. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history, which makes an evaluation of our future prospects difficult. Our operating results have fluctuated in the past, and we expect our future quarterly and annual operating results to fluctuate as we focus on increasing the demand for our products and services. We may need to make business decisions that could adversely affect our operating results, such as modifications to our pricing strategy, business structure or operations.
In addition, we have experienced recent rapid growth and anticipate further growth, although the COVID-19 pandemic may substantially impact our future growth. For example, our revenue increased from $49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The number of our full-time employees increased from 99 as of December 31, 2019 to 111 as of December 31, 2020.
This growth has placed significant demands on our management, financial, operational, technological and at the time of other resources, and we expect that our growth will continue to place significant demands on our management and other resources and will require us to continue developing and improving our operational, financial and other internal controls. Our need to effectively execute our growth strategy requires that we:
manage our commercial operations effectively;
identify, recruit, retain, incentivize and integrate additional employees;
provide adequate training and supervision to maintain our high quality standards and preserve our culture and values;
manage our internal development and operational efforts effectively while carrying out our contractual obligations to third parties; and
continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, reports systems and procedures.
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Continued growth increases the challenges involved in addressing these goals in a cost-effective or timely manner, or at all. If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may not be able to execute on our business plan, respond to competitive pressures, take advantage of market opportunities, satisfy customer requirements or maintain high-quality product offerings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are highly dependent on our senior management, other key officers, our engineers and field sales team, and may be increasingly dependent on sales representatives and clinical specialists for the sale of any medical devices we may market, if approved. We face significant competition for talent from other healthcare, technology and high-growth companies, which include both large enterprises and privately-held companies. To attract top talent, we have had to offer, and believe we will need to continue to offer, highly competitive compensation packages before we can validate the productivity of those employees. In addition, we may not be able to hire new employees quickly enough to meet our needs and fluctuations in the price of our common stock may make it more difficult or costly to use equity compensation to motivate, incentivize and retain our employees.
We currently rely on sales of our Owlet Smart Sock technologies and related products for the majority of our revenue and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
We are highly dependent upon the continued success and market acceptance of the Owlet Smart Sock and related technologies that serve as the basis of our primary product offerings. Continued market acceptance will depend upon our continuing to provide evidence that our products and services add value in care-giving activities. If caregivers do not prefer our Owlet Smart Sock over competing products and services, they may not buy our products and services in sufficient quantities to enable us to generate revenue growth from the sale of these products and services.
If the FDA or any other governmental authority were to require clearance, approval, certification or other form of marketing authorization for the Owlet Smart Sock, or for any other product that we sell and which we do not believe requires such clearance, approval, certification or marketing authorization, we could be required to cease selling or recall the product pending receipt of such clearance, approval, certification or marketing authorization from the FDA or such other governmental authority, which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, and we may also be subject to regulatory enforcement action.
We currently sell the Owlet Smart Sock, which we market for use by parents of healthy babies to provide peace of mind, and for which we have not sought or obtained any marketing authorization from the FDA or similar authorization, approval, or certification from any other governmental authority. In response to inquiries from the FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions regarding the marketing of the Owlet Smart Sock, we have communicated our belief that the Owlet Smart Sock is not a medical device and does not require marketing authorization from the FDA or approval/certification from such other regulatory authorities. However, the FDA and certain regulatory authorities have expressed they may not agree with that conclusion and could require us to obtain marketing authorization (or approval/certification) to continue to sell the product. Obtaining authorization to sell the Owlet Smart Sock as a medical device is a time-consuming and costly process and we may be precluded from selling the Owlet Smart Sock if we are required to obtain marketing authorization. If granted, a marketing authorization could require conditions to sale, for example, a prescription requirement. If the FDA or other regulatory authorities require such marketing authorization (or approval/certification, respectively) for the Owlet Smart Sock, or for any other product that we sell and which we do not believe requires such clearance, approval, certification or marketing authorization, we could be required to cease selling or recall the product in the corresponding jurisdiction pending receipt of marketing authorization (or approval/certification), which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, and we may also be subject to regulatory enforcement action. In addition, we may be required to modify the product’s functionality or limit our marketing claims for the product, whether or not we obtain such clearance, approval, certification or marketing authorization. In any such event, our business could be substantially harmed.
We currently rely on a single manufacturer for the assembly of our Owlet Smart Sock and a single manufacturer for the assembly of our Owlet Cam. We will likely rely on single manufacturers for future products we may develop. If we encounter manufacturing problems or delays, we may be unable to promptly transition to alternative manufacturers and our ability to generate revenue will be limited.
We have no manufacturing capabilities of our own. We currently rely on a single manufacturer located in Thailand, Benchmark, for the manufacture of our Owlet Smart Sock. Additionally, we currently rely on a separate single manufacturer located in China, Shenzhen Aoni Electronic, for the manufacture of our Owlet Cam.
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We expect to rely on limited manufacturers for future products we may develop. For example, we have relied upon and expect to continue to rely upon a single manufacturer for the supply of the Owlet Band, a product that we are developing and may commercially launch in the future. For us to be successful, our contract manufacturers must be able to provide us with products in substantial quantities, in compliance with regulatory requirements, in accordance with agreed upon specifications, at acceptable costs and on a timely basis. While our existing manufacturers have generally met our demand requirements on a timely basis in the past, their ability and willingness to continue to do so going forward may be limited for several reasons, including our relative importance as a customer of each manufacturer or their respective ability to provide assembly services to manufacture our products, which may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or other natural or man-made disasters. Earthquakes are of particular significance since some of their facilities are located in earthquake-prone areas. We are also vulnerable to damage from other types of disasters, including power loss, attacks from extremist or terrorist organizations, epidemics, communication failures, fire, floods and similar events. Furthermore, our manufacturing agreements can be terminated by our contract manufacturers without cause by giving us prior notice of six months or less. The facilities and the manufacturing equipment used to produce our products would be difficult to replace and could require substantial time to repair if significant damage were to result from any of these occurrences. An interruption in our commercial operations could occur if we encounter delays or difficulties in securing these manufactured products for any reason and we cannot obtain an acceptable substitute.
Any transition to a new contract manufacturer, or any transition of products between existing manufacturers, could be time-consuming and expensive, may result in interruptions in our operations and product delivery, could affect the performance specifications of our products, could require that we modify the design of our products, or could require clearance or approval by the FDA depending on the nature of the product and the changes associated with the transition to the new manufacturer. If we are required to change a contract manufacturer, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities, procedures and operations that comply with our quality standards and applicable regulatory requirements, which could further impede our ability to manufacture our products in a timely manner. We may not be able to identify and engage alternative contract manufacturers on similar terms or without delay. Furthermore, our contract manufacturers could require us to move to a different production facility. The occurrence of any of these events could harm our ability to meet the demand for our products in a timely and cost-effective manner, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The manufacture of our products is complex and requires the integration of a number of components from several sources of supply. Our contract manufacturers must manufacture and assemble these complex products in commercial quantities in compliance with regulatory requirements and at an acceptable cost. Our products, in particular the Owlet Smart Sock, require significant expertise to manufacture, and our contract manufacturers may encounter difficulties in scaling up production of our products, including problems with quality control and assurance, component supply shortages, increased costs, shortages of qualified personnel, the long lead time required to develop additional facilities for purposes of testing our products or difficulties associated with compliance with local, state, federal and foreign regulatory requirements. Manufacturing or quality control problems may arise in connection with the scale-up of the manufacture of our products. If we are unable to obtain a sufficient supply of product, maintain control over product quality and cost or otherwise adapt to anticipated growth, or if we underestimate growth, we may not have the capability to satisfy market demand, and our business and reputation in the marketplace will suffer. Conversely, if demand for our products decreases, we may have excess inventory, which could result in inventory write-offs that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also encounter defects in materials or workmanship, which could lead to a failure to adhere to regulatory requirements. Any defects could delay operations at our contract manufacturers’ facilities, lead to regulatory fines or halt or discontinue manufacturing indefinitely. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to obtain key materials and components from sole or limited source suppliers, we will not be able to deliver our products to customers.
We are currently devoting substantial resources to the development of new or advanced products, such as the Owlet BabySat, the Owlet Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Smart Sock and Owlet Band, and services, such as the development of our software platform, and intend to continue to do so. However, we may not be able to complete development on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, some of our products in development, such as the
36

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Owlet BabySat, Owlet OTC Smart Sock and Owlet Band, may be regulated by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies as medical devices, which may require marketing authorization clearance from applicable regulatory authorities, including marketing authorization from the FDA, prior to commercialization. New products and services, particularly those needing to meet FDA or other regulatory standards, may have higher manufacturing costs than legacy products and services, which could negatively impact our gross margins and operating results during these stages, without guarantees we will be able to successfully commercialize any such products.
If we successfully develop such products and services, we must still successfully manage their introductions to the market. Products and services that are not well-received by the market may lead to excess inventory and discounting of our existing products and services. Inventory levels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of inventory at discounted prices may affect our gross margin and could impair the strength of our brand. Reserves and write-downs for rebates, promotions and excess inventory are recorded based on our forecast of future demand. Actual future demand could be less than our forecast, which may result in additional reserves and write-downs in the future, or actual demand could be stronger than our forecast, which may result in increased shipping costs and a reduction to previously recorded reserves and write-downs in the future and increase the volatility of our operating results.
Introductions of new or advanced products and services could also adversely impact the sales of our existing products and services to consumers. For instance, the introduction or announcement of new or advanced products and services may shorten the life cycle of our existing products or reduce demand, thereby reducing any benefits of successful product or service introductions and potentially leading to challenges in managing write-downs or write-offs of inventory of existing products and services.
We have in the past experienced challenges managing the inventory of our products, which has led and may in the future lead to increased shipping costs for air freight in order to fulfill customer orders in a timely manner, which has affected our gross margin and could impair the strength of our brand.
Adapting our production capacities to evolving patterns of demand is expensive, time-consuming and subject to significant uncertainties. We may not be able to adequately predict consumer trends and may be unable to adjust our production in a timely manner.
We market our products directly to consumers in the United States and a select number of international countries. If demand increases, we will be required to increase production proportionally. Adapting to changes in demand inherently lags behind the actual changes because it takes time to identify the change the market is undergoing and to implement any measures taken as a result. Finally, capacity adjustments are inherently risky because there is imperfect information, and market trends may rapidly intensify, ebb or even reverse. We have in the past not always been, and may in the future not be, able to accurately or timely predict trends in demand and consumer behavior or to take appropriate measures to mitigate risks and exploit opportunities resulting from such trends. Any inability in the future to identify or to adequately and effectively react to changes in demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some of our products and services are in development or have been recently introduced into the market and may not achieve market acceptance, which could limit our growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our portfolio of products and services continues to expand, and we are investing significant resources to enter into, and in some cases create, new markets for these products and services. We are continuing to invest in sales and marketing resources to achieve market acceptance of these products and services, but our technologies may not achieve general market acceptance.
The degree of market acceptance of these products and services will depend on a number of factors, including:
perceived benefits from our products and services;
perceived cost effectiveness of our products and services;
perceived safety and effectiveness of our products and services;
our ability to obtain any required marketing authorizations for our products and services and the label requirements of any approvals we may obtain;
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reimbursement available through government and private healthcare programs for using some of our products and services; and
introduction and acceptance of competing products and services or technologies.
If our products and services do not gain market acceptance or if our customers prefer our competitors’ products and services, our potential revenue growth would be limited, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to successfully develop and effectively manage the introduction of new products and services, our business may be adversely affected.
We must successfully manage introductions of new or advanced products, such as the Owlet BabySat, Owlet OTC Smart Sock and Owlet Band, and services, such as the development of our software platform. Development of new products and services requires the expenditure of considerable time and resources, but we may not be able to successfully develop and introduce such products on a timely basis, or at all. Products and services that are not well-received by the market may lead to excess inventory and discounting of our existing products and services. Inventory levels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of inventory at discounted prices, may affect our gross margin and could impair the strength of our brand. Reserves and write-downs for rebates, promotions and excess inventory are recorded based on our forecast of future demand. Actual future demand could be less than our forecast, which may result in additional reserves and write-downs in the future, or actual demand could be stronger than our forecast, which may result in increased shipping costs and a reduction to previously recorded reserves and write-downs in the future and increase the volatility of our operating results.
Introductions of new or advanced products and services could also adversely impact the sales of our existing products and services to consumers. For instance, the introduction or announcement of new or advanced products and services may shorten the life cycle of our existing products or reduce demand, thereby reducing any benefits of successful product or service introductions and potentially leading to challenges in managing write-downs or write-offs of inventory of existing products and services. In addition, some of our products, such as the Owlet BabySat, Owlet OTC Smart Sock and Owlet Band, may be regulated by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies as medical devices, which may require marketing authorization or clearance from the FDA or other applicable agency prior to commercialization. New products and services, particularly those needing to meet FDA or other regulatory standards, may have higher manufacturing costs than legacy products and services, which could negatively impact our gross margins and operating results. Accordingly, if we fail to effectively manage introductions of new or advanced products and services, our business may be adversely affected.
We have in the past experienced challenges managing the inventory of our products, which has led and may in the future lead to increased shipping costs for air freight in order to fulfill customer orders in a timely manner, which has affected our gross margin and could impair the strength of our brand.
A substantial portion of our sales comes through a limited number of retailers.
Historically, we have relied on a limited number of retailers for a substantial portion of our total sales. For example, sales through our top five retail customers represented 60.1% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020. These retailers work with us on a non-exclusive basis. If we are unable to establish, maintain or grow these relationships over time, or if these relationships grow more slowly than we anticipate, we are likely to fail to recover these costs and our operating results will suffer. The loss of any significant retail customer, whether or not related to our business or our products or services, could have an impact on the growth rate of our revenue as we work to obtain new retail customers or replacement relationships. Contracts with retailers may typically be terminated or renegotiated before their term expires for various reasons, subject to certain conditions. For example, after a specified period, certain of our contracts are terminable for convenience by such retailers, subject to a notice period. Additionally, certain contracts may be terminated immediately by the retailer if we go bankrupt or if we fail to comply with certain specified laws. Any renegotiation of the commercial agreements may result in less favorable economic terms for us. Retailers may also consolidate their operations, reducing the overall number of locations in which they sell our products and services. Historically, we have had retail customers declare bankruptcy and stop operations, negatively affecting our sales and business.
In order to grow our business, we anticipate that we will continue to depend on our relationships with third parties, including our retailers. Identifying retailers, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them,
38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

requires significant time and resources. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services. If we are unsuccessful in establishing, or maintaining or strengthening our relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and our results of operations may suffer. Even if we are successful, these relationships may not result in increased customer use of our services or increased revenue.
The size and expected growth of our addressable market has not been established with precision and may be smaller than we estimate.
Our estimates of the addressable market for our current products and services and future products and services are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates and assumptions, including birth rate, income levels and demographic profiles. While we believe our assumptions and the data underlying our estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct. In addition, the statements in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to, among other things, the expected growth in the market for baby products and services are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates and assumptions and may prove to be inaccurate. For example, although we expect that the number of births will continue to increase, those trends could shift and the number of births could decrease. Furthermore, even if the birth rate increases as we expect, technological or medical advances could provide alternatives to our products and services and reduce demand. As a result, our estimates of the addressable market for our current or future products and services may prove to be incorrect. If the actual number of consumers who would benefit from our products and services, the price at which we can sell future products and services or the addressable market for our products and services is smaller than we estimate, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We spend significant amounts on advertising and other marketing campaigns to acquire new customers, which may not be successful or cost effective.
We market our products and services through a mix of digital and traditional marketing channels. These include paid search, digital display advertising, email marketing, affiliate marketing, and select print advertising. We also leverage our database of prospects and customers to further drive customer acquisition and referrals. We spend significant amounts on advertising and other marketing campaigns to acquire new customers, and we expect our marketing expenses to increase in the future as we continue to spend significant amounts to acquire new customers and increase awareness of our products and services. While we seek to structure our marketing campaigns in the manner that we believe is most likely to encourage consumers to use our products and services, we may fail to identify marketing opportunities that satisfy our anticipated return on marketing spend as we scale our investments in marketing, accurately predict customer acquisition, or fully understand or estimate the conditions and behaviors that drive consumer behavior. Further, state, federal and foreign laws and regulations governing the privacy and security of personal information are evolving rapidly and could impact our ability to identify and market to potential and existing customers. If federal, state, or local laws governing our marketing activities become more restrictive or are interpreted by governmental authorities to prohibit or limit these activities, our ability to attract new customers and retain customers would be affected and our business could be materially harmed. In addition, any failure, or perceived failure, by us, to comply with any federal, state, or foreign laws or regulations governing our marketing activities could adversely affect our reputation, brand, and business, and may result in claims, proceedings, or actions against us by governmental entities, consumers, suppliers or others or other liabilities or may require us to change our operations and/or cease using certain marketing strategies. If any of our marketing campaigns prove less successful than anticipated in attracting new customers, we may not be able to adequately recover our marketing spend, and our rate of customer acquisition may fail to meet market expectations, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our marketing efforts may not result in increased sales of our products and services.
Further, web and mobile browser developers, such as Apple, Microsoft or Google, have implemented and may continue to implement changes, including requiring additional user permissions, in their browser or device operating system that impair our ability to measure and improve the effectiveness of advertising of our products and services. Such changes include limiting the use of first-party and third-party cookies and related tracking technologies, such as mobile advertising identifiers, and other changes that limit our ability to collect information that allows us to attribute consumer actions on advertisers’ websites to the effectiveness of advertising campaigns
39

TABLE OF CONTENTS

run by us. For example, Apple launched its Intelligent Tracking Prevention (“ITP”) feature in its Safari browser. ITP blocks some or all third-party cookies by default on mobile and desktop and ITP has become increasingly restrictive over time. Apple's related Privacy-Preserving Ad Click attribution, intended to preserve some of the functionality lost with ITP, would limit cross-site and cross-device attribution, prevent measurement outside a narrowly-defined attribution window, and prevent ad re-targeting and optimization. Similarly, Google recently announced that it plans to stop supporting third-party cookies in its Google Chrome browser. Further, Apple announced certain changes, including introducing an AppTrackingTransparency framework that will limit the ability of mobile applications to request an iOS device’s advertising identifier and may also affect our ability to track consumer actions.
In addition, we believe that building a strong brand and developing and achieving broad awareness of our brand is critical to achieving market success. If any of our brand-building activities prove less successful than anticipated in attracting new customers, we may not be able to recover our brand-building spend, and our rate of customer acquisition may fail to meet market expectations, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our brand-building efforts will result in increased sales of our products and services.
If we are unable to continue to drive consumers to our website, it could adversely affect our revenue.
Many consumers find our website by searching for baby products and services through internet search engines or from word-of-mouth and personal recommendations. A critical factor in attracting visitors to our website is how prominently we are displayed in response to search queries. Accordingly, we use search engine marketing as a means to provide a significant portion of our customer acquisition. Search engine marketing includes both paid website visitor acquisition on a cost-per-click basis and visitor acquisition on an unpaid basis, often referred to as organic or algorithmic search.
One method we employ to acquire visitors via organic search is commonly known as search engine optimization (“SEO”). SEO involves developing our website in a way that enables the website to rank high for search queries for which our website’s content may be relevant. We also rely heavily on favorable recommendations from our existing customers to help drive traffic to our website. If our website is listed less prominently or fails to appear in search result listings for any reason, it is likely that we will attract fewer visitors to our website, which could adversely affect our revenue.
Our success depends substantially on our reputation and brand, which could be harmed by customer or third-party complaints or negative reviews or publicity about our company or our products and services.
Our success is dependent in large part upon our ability to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand. Brand value can be severely damaged even by isolated incidents, particularly if the incidents receive considerable negative publicity or result in litigation. Some of these incidents may relate to actions taken (or not taken) with respect to social, environmental, and community outreach initiatives, the personal conduct of individuals actually, or perceived to be associated, with our brand, and our growth or rebranding strategies. We are heavily dependent on customers who use our products and services, in particular our Owlet Smart Sock, to provide good reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations to contribute to the growth of our brand and reputation. Customers who are dissatisfied with their experiences with our products and services or services may post negative reviews. We may also be the subject of blog, forum or other media postings that include statements that create negative publicity. If the FDA or other regulatory body determines that any of our products is a medical device that is not in compliance with applicable requirements and makes that determination public, or takes some other public action such as issuing a public enforcement action or instituting a recall, customers may react negatively and stop purchasing or recommending our products or services. Any negative reviews or publicity, whether real or perceived, disseminated by word-of-mouth, by the general media, by electronic or social networking means or by other methods, could harm our reputation and brand and could severely diminish consumer confidence in our products and services.

Operations in international markets will expose us to additional business, political, regulatory, operational, financial and economic risks.
Further expanding our business to attract customers in countries other than the United States is a key element of our long-term business strategy. International operations expose us and our representatives, agents and distributors to risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions, and such exposure will increase as our international presence and activities increase. These risks include:
the imposition of additional U.S. and foreign governmental controls or regulations;
the imposition of costly and lengthy new export licensing requirements;
the imposition of requirements to maintain data and the processing of that data on servers located within the United States or in foreign countries;
a shortage of high-quality employees, sales people and distributors;
the loss of any key personnel that possess proprietary knowledge, or who are otherwise important to our success in certain international markets;
changes in duties and tariffs, license obligations and other non-tariff barriers to trade;
the imposition of new trade restrictions;
the imposition of restrictions on the activities of foreign agents, representatives and distributors;
compliance with or changes in foreign tax laws, regulations and requirements and economic and trade sanctions programs;
evolution in regulatory landscapes, such as on account of the United Kingdom (“UK”) leaving the European Union (“EU”), and uncertainties that arise from such evolution;
pricing pressure;
changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
laws and business practices favoring local companies;
political instability and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts;
financial and civil unrest worldwide;
outbreaks of illnesses, pandemics or other local or global health issues;
natural or man-made disasters;
the inability to collect amounts paid by foreign government customers to our appointed foreign agents;
longer payment cycles, increased credit risk and different collection remedies with respect to receivables; and
difficulties in enforcing or defending intellectual property rights.
In addition, we purchase a portion of our raw materials and components from international sources. The sale and shipment of our products and services across international borders, as well as the purchase of materials and components from international sources, subject us to extensive U.S. and foreign governmental trade regulations, including those related to conflict minerals. Compliance with such regulations is costly and we could be exposed to potentially significant penalties if we are found not to be in compliance with such regulations. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could impact us in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil and administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines and penalties, denial of export privileges, seizure of shipments, restrictions on certain business activities, and exclusion or debarment from government contracting. Also, the failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could result in the disruption of our shipping, manufacturing and sales activities. Any material decrease in our international sales would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In June 2016, the UK held a referendum pursuant to which voters elected to leave the EU, commonly referred to as Brexit. The UK formally withdrew from the EU and ratified a trade and cooperation agreement governing its future relationship with the EU. The agreement, which is being applied provisionally from January 1, 2021 until it is ratified by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, addresses trade, economic arrangements, law enforcement, judicial cooperation and a governance framework including procedures for dispute resolution, among other things. Because the agreement merely sets forth a framework in many respects and will require complex additional bilateral negotiations between the UK and the EU as both parties continue to work on the rules for implementation, significant political and economic uncertainty remains about how the precise terms of the relationship between the parties will differ from the terms before withdrawal. Brexit has created additional uncertainties that may ultimately result in new regulatory costs and challenges for medical device companies and increased restrictions on imports and exports throughout Europe, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct and expand our operations in Europe and which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, Brexit may increase the possibility that other countries may decide to leave the EU in the future.
We face and expect to face increasing competition from other companies, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do. If we do not successfully develop and commercialize enhanced or new products and services that remain competitive with products and services or alternative technologies developed by others, we could lose revenue opportunities and customers, and our ability to grow our business would be impaired, adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
We expect the industry in which we operate will continue to evolve and may be significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Certain potential competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger product portfolios, larger user bases, larger sales forces and greater geographic presence, and have built relationships with retailers and distributors that may be more effective than ours. Our products and services face additional competition from companies developing products and services for use with third-party monitoring systems, as well as from companies that currently market similar products and services of their own, and may face further pressure from technology companies that have not historically operated in our industry.
Continuing technological advances and new product introductions within the home-use childcare electronics and service industry place our products and services at risk of obsolescence. Our long-term success depends upon the development and successful commercialization of new products and services, new or improved technologies and additional applications for our existing technologies, including products or applications that may be subject to the oversight of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities and could require marketing authorization by the FDA or similar approval from comparable foreign regulatory authorities. The research and development process is time-consuming and costly and may not result in products and services or applications that we can successfully commercialize.
If we do not successfully adapt our products and services and applications, we could lose revenue opportunities and customers. Furthermore, in the event any of our products is regulated as a medical device and obtains marketing authorization from the FDA or similar approval from comparable foreign regulatory authorities, one or more of our competitors may develop products that compete. For example, in the U.S., if any of our products is regulated as a medical device and obtains 510(k) clearance, competitors may develop products that the FDA determines are substantially equivalent to our products and may use our products as predicate devices to obtain regulatory clearances for their competing products.
We rely significantly on IT and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could harm our business and our ability to operate our business effectively.
Increased global cybersecurity vulnerabilities, cybersecurity threats, and sophisticated and targeted cybersecurity attacks pose a risk to the security of our systems and networks, including the confidentiality, availability and integrity of any underlying information and data, and those of our users, customers, partners, suppliers and third-party service providers. Attacks upon IT systems are increasing in their frequency, levels of persistence, sophistication and intensity, and are being conducted by sophisticated and organized groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may also face increased cybersecurity risks due to our reliance on internet technology and the number of our employees

who are working remotely, which may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity attacks in particular are evolving and because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or to sabotage, systems change frequently and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain undetected for an extended period. If such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our development programs and our business operations due to a loss of our trade secrets and confidential information, negative publicity and damage to our reputation, loss of customers, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and services, loss of competitive position, loss of revenue or liability for damages or other similar disruptions. As a result, there can be no assurance that our protective measures will prevent or detect security breaches that could have a significant impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to effectively manage and maintain our internal business information, and to ship products and provide services to customers and invoice them on a timely basis, depends significantly on our enterprise resource planning system and other information systems. Portions of our IT systems may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with ongoing systems implementation work. In addition, interfaces between our products and services and our customers’ computer networks could provide additional opportunities for cybersecurity attacks on us and our customers. The failure of these systems to operate or integrate effectively with other internal, customer, supplier or third-party service provider systems and to protect the underlying IT system and data integrity, including from cyberattacks, intrusions or other breaches or unauthorized access of these systems, or any failure by us to remediate any such attacks or breaches, may also result in damage to our reputation or competitiveness, delays in product fulfillment and reduced efficiency of our operations, and could require significant capital investments to remediate any such failure, problem or breach, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any disruption of service at our third-party data and call centers or other cloud infrastructure services could interrupt or delay our ability to deliver our services to our customers.
Because our products and services are used by caregivers to monitor infants, it is critical that our products and services be accessible without interruption or degradation of performance. Customers may become dissatisfied by any system failure that interrupts our ability to provide our services to them. Sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our products or services to customers. Moreover, negative publicity arising from these types of disruptions could damage our reputation and may adversely impact use of our products and services.
We currently host our products and services, serve our customers and support our operations in the United States primarily from third-party data and call centers and other cloud-based services. For example, we rely on cloud services and bespoke software services provided by Ayla Networks for our Owlet Smart Sock product to support the transfer of data to the cloud and back to us and the user. Additionally, we rely on the data transfer services of ThroughTek to enable video viewing access for the Owlet Cam. We do not have control over the operations of the services or the facilities of any of those providers. These facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, cyber security attacks, terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice, or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. The facilities also could be subject to break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. We may not be able to easily switch our cloud operations to another cloud provider if there are disruptions or interference with such providers.
None of our third-party cloud-based providers has an obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew our agreements with these providers on commercially reasonable terms, if our agreements with our providers are prematurely terminated, or if in the future we add additional cloud-based providers, we may experience costs or downtime in connection with the transfer to, or the addition of, new providers. If these providers were to increase the cost of their services, we may have to increase the price of our products and services, and our operating results may be materially adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are subject to a number of risks related to the credit extended by our manufacturing providers.
Our manufacturers extend credit to us and may revoke that credit. We use that credit to scale operations and increase production of our products. If our manufacturers revoke our credit, it could adversely affect our ability to meet demand for our products and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to a number of risks related to the credit card and debit card payments we accept.
We accept payments through credit and debit card transactions. For credit and debit card payments, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time. An increase in those fees may require us to increase the prices we charge and would increase our operating expenses, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we or our processing vendors fail to maintain adequate systems for the authorization and processing of credit and debit card transactions, it could cause one or more of the major credit card companies to disallow our continued use of their payment products. In addition, if these systems fail to work properly and, as a result, we do not charge our customers’ credit or debit cards on a timely basis, or at all, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The payment methods that we offer also subject us to potential fraud and theft by criminals, who are becoming increasingly more sophisticated in exploiting weaknesses that may exist in the payment systems. If we fail to comply with applicable rules or requirements for the payment methods we accept, or if payment-related data is compromised due to a breach, we may be liable for significant costs incurred by payment card issuing banks and other third parties or subject to fines and higher transaction fees, or our ability to accept or facilitate certain types of payments may be impaired. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in certain payment types, which may result in a shift to other payment types or potential changes to our payment systems that may result in higher costs. If we fail to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions, we may face civil liability, diminished public perception of our security measures and significantly higher card-related costs, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are also subject to payment card association operating rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it more difficult for us to comply. We are subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) issued by the PCI Council, which includes guidelines with regard to the security policies and practices we should adopt regarding the physical and electronic storage, processing and transmission of cardholder data. Compliance with the PCI DSS and implementing related procedures, technology and information security measures requires significant resources and ongoing attention, and any security incident involving cardholder data could subject us to significant penalties and liability. Failure to comply with this standard may violate payment card association operating rules, federal and state laws and regulations and the terms of our contracts with payment processors. Any failure to comply fully also may subject us to fines, penalties, damages and civil liability, and may result in the loss of our ability to accept credit and debit card payments. Further, there is no guarantee that such compliance will prevent illegal or improper use of our payment systems or the theft, loss or misuse of data pertaining to credit and debit cards, cardholders and transactions.
If we are unable to maintain our chargeback rate or refund rates at acceptable levels, our processing vendor may increase our transaction fees or terminate its relationship with us. Any increases in our credit and debit card fees could harm our results of operations, particularly if we elect not to raise our rates for our products and services to offset the increase. The termination of our ability to process payments on any major credit or debit card would significantly impair our ability to operate our business.
Risks Related to New Owlet’s Capital Requirements and Capital Structure
We have a history of net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
We have incurred net losses since inception. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we incurred net losses of $17.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. As a result of our ongoing losses, as of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $71.7 million. Since inception, we have spent significant funds on organizational and start-up activities, to recruit key managers and employees, to develop our products, services and connected nursery ecosystem, to develop our manufacturing know-how and customer support resources and for research and development. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and may increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing expenses as we continue to grow our business. We expect our operating expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we continue to hire additional personnel, expand our operations and infrastructure, and continue to develop and expand our products and services. In addition to the expected costs to grow our business, we also expect to incur additional legal, accounting, and other expenses as a newly public company. These investments may be more costly than we expect, and if we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, they may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If our growth rate were to decline significantly or become negative, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow in the long term, we may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all or which would be dilutive to our stockholders. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future in order to execute our strategic plan following the Business Combination and related transactions, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, and we expect to continue operating at a loss for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $71.7 million and cash and cash equivalents of $17.0 million, and, as a result, at the time of issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, we concluded that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months. We will need to finance operations through generation of additional revenues as well as through raising additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient future revenues.
Even if the Business Combination is consummated as contemplated, we may need additional funding to fund our operations, but additional funds may not be available to us on acceptable terms on a timely basis, if at all. We may seek funds through borrowings or through additional rounds of financing, including private or public equity or debt offerings, or by other means. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
the timing, receipt and amount of sales from our current and future products and services;
the cost of manufacturing, either ourselves or through third party manufacturers, our products and services;
the cost and timing of expanding our sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;
the terms and timing of any other partnership, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;
the costs and timing of securing regulatory approvals;
any product liability or other lawsuits related to our current or future products and services;
the expenses needed to attract, hire and retain skilled personnel;
the costs associated with being a public company;
the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business and financial markets generally;
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio; and
the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies.
If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to pursue our
45

TABLE OF CONTENTS

business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We also could be required to seek funds through arrangements with partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights or jointly own some aspects of our technologies, products or services that we would otherwise pursue on our own.
Our loan and security agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions that may limit our flexibility in operating our business and any failure to satisfy those covenants and restrictions could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Our loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) contains various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions that limit our ability to engage in specific types of transactions, including:
conveying, selling, leasing, transferring, or otherwise disposing of certain assets;
consolidating, merging, selling or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets or acquiring all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another person;
incurring specified types of additional indebtedness (including guarantees or other contingent obligations); and
paying dividends on, repurchasing or making distributions in respect of any capital stock or making other restricted payments, subject to specified exceptions.
In addition, under the loan and security agreement, we are required to satisfy and maintain certain financial ratios, including financial maintenance covenants. We obtained a waiver from SVB for a failure to maintain compliance with a financial covenant as of December 31, 2020, but cannot make assurances we will be able to satisfy these requirements in the future or, if we fail to satisfy these requirements, that will be able to negotiate a waiver or amendment with SVB as we have in the past. A breach of any of these ratios or covenants, including as a result of events beyond our control, would result in a default under the loan and security agreement. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, SVB could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the loan and security agreement immediately due and payable, terminate all commitments to extend further credit and pursue legal remedies for recovery, all of which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. As of December 31, 2020, $10.0 million in aggregate principal amount was outstanding under the loan. See Note 9 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Discontinuation, reform or replacement of the “Prime Rate,” as calculated and published by The Wall Street Journal, and other benchmark rates, or uncertainty related to the potential for any of the foregoing, may adversely affect our business.
Regulators have suggested reforming or replacing certain benchmark rates, and the discontinuation, reform or replacement of the Prime Rate or any other benchmark rates may have an unpredictable impact on contractual mechanics in the credit markets or cause disruption to the broader financial markets. Uncertainty as to the nature of such potential discontinuation, reform or replacement may also negatively impact interest expense related to borrowings under our loan and security agreement. Borrowings under our loan and security agreement bear interest either at the Prime Rate, or, if unavailable, at the rate announced by SVB as its prime rate in effect at its principal office in the State of California. We may in the future pursue amendments to our loan and security agreement to provide for a transition mechanism or other reference rate if the Prime Rate were discontinued, but we may not be able to reach agreement with our Lender on any such amendments. As a result, additional financing to replace any then-outstanding Prime Rate-based debt may be unavailable, more expensive or restricted by the terms of such outstanding indebtedness.
Changes in tax laws, including as a result of the 2020 United States presidential and congressional elections, may impact our future financial position and results of operations.
New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, or interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us, any of which could adversely affect our business operations and financial performance. In particular, the recent presidential and congressional elections in the United States could result in significant changes in, and uncertainty with respect to, tax legislation, regulation and government policy directly affecting our business or indirectly affecting us because of impacts on our
46

TABLE OF CONTENTS

customers and suppliers. For example, the United States government may enact significant changes to the taxation of business entities including, among others, an increase in the corporate income tax rate, an increase in the tax rate applicable to the global intangible low-taxed income and elimination of certain exemptions, and the imposition of minimum taxes or surtaxes on certain types of income. No specific United States tax legislation has been proposed at this time and the likelihood of these changes being enacted or implemented is unclear. We are currently unable to predict whether such changes will occur and, if so, the ultimate impact on our business. To the extent that such changes have a negative impact on us, our suppliers or our customers, including as a result of related uncertainty, these changes may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In addition, as we expand our business internationally, the application and implementation of existing, new or future international laws regarding indirect taxes (such as a Value Added Tax) could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The applicability of sales, use and other tax laws or regulations on our business is uncertain. Adverse tax laws or regulations could be enacted or existing laws could be applied to us or our customers, which could subject us to additional tax liabilities and related interest and penalties, increase the costs of our products and adversely impact our business.
State, local and foreign tax jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value-added and other taxes, and these rules and regulations can be complex and are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. Existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to us (possibly with retroactive effect).
One or more states, countries or other jurisdictions may seek to impose sales, use, value added or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales. A successful assertion by a state, country or other jurisdiction that we should have been or should be collecting additional sales, use, value added or other taxes on our products could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, or otherwise harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
We have incurred substantial net operating losses (“NOLs”) since inception, and we may not achieve profitability in the future. U.S. federal and certain state NOLs generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 are not subject to expiration. U.S. federal NOLs generally may not be carried back to prior taxable years except that, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, U.S. federal NOLs generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 may be carried back to each of the five taxable years preceding the taxable year in which the loss arises. Additionally, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, the deductibility of U.S. federal NOLs is limited to 80% of our taxable income in such taxable year. NOLs generated in tax years before 2018 may still be used to offset future taxable income without regard to the 80% limitation, although they have the potential to expire without being utilized if we do not achieve profitability in the future. However, under the rules of Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership over a rolling three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change taxable income or taxes may be limited. The applicable rules generally operate by focusing on changes in ownership among stockholders considered by the rules as owning, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the stock of a corporation, as well as changes in ownership arising from new issuances of stock by the corporation. If finalized, Treasury Regulations currently proposed under Section 382 of the Code may further limit our ability to utilize our pre-change NOLs or other pre-change tax attributes if we undergo a future ownership change. We could experience one or more ownership changes in the future, including in connection with this Business Combination and as a result of future changes in our stock ownership, some of which may be outside our control. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change NOL carryforwards to offset post-change taxable income may be subject to limitations. For these reasons, we may not be able to utilize a material portion of our NOLs and other tax attributes, which could adversely affect our future cash flows.

Risks Related to Owlet Becoming a Public Company
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and we may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations or cause our access to the capital markets to be impaired.
In connection with the reissuance of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continue to exist as of December 31, 2020.
We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate degree of internal controls and accounting knowledge, experience, and training commensurate with our accounting and financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the segregation of duties related to journal entries. Specifically, certain personnel have the ability to both create and post journal entries within the Company’s general ledger system. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
We did not design and maintain effective controls over the accounting for convertible preferred stock and related preferred stock warrant arrangements. Further, we did not design and maintain effective controls to verify the completeness and accuracy of sales returns and accrued sales tax. Each of these material weaknesses resulted in material adjustments to several account balances and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.
We did not design and maintain effective controls over IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain (i) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel, (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored, and data backups are authorized and monitored, and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements. This material weakness did not result in any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.
Additionally, each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
We have not begun an implementation plan to remediate these material weaknesses. Once we begin an implementation plan, the remediation measures will be ongoing, and although not all inclusive, we expect the remediation measures to include hiring additional accounting and financial reporting personnel and implementing additional policies, procedures and controls, all of which will result in future costs for the Company.
To address these material weaknesses, we plan to take actions to improve our IT general controls, segregation of duties controls, period-end financial reporting controls, and journal entry controls. However, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. At this time, we cannot predict the success of such efforts or the outcome of our assessment of the remediation efforts. Our efforts may not remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our
48

TABLE OF CONTENTS

consolidated financial statements, and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, any of which could diminish investor confidence in us and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Additionally, ineffective internal controls could expose us to an increased risk of financial reporting fraud and the misappropriation of assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list or to other regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions.
As a public company, we will be required pursuant to Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each annual report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in internal control over financial reporting. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will also be required, pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in each annual report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. We will be required to disclose material changes made in our internal control over financial reporting on a quarterly basis. Failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the stock exchange on which our securities are listed or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources. We have begun the costly and challenging process of compiling the system and processing documentation necessary to perform the evaluation needed to comply with Section 404, but we may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion.
Following the Business Combination, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company,” and the reduced public company reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.
Following the Business Combination, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and plan to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to: being permitted to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related selected financial data and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations disclosure; an exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; not being required to comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements; reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, registration statements 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. In addition, the JOBS Act permits emerging growth companies to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We intend to take advantage of the exemptions discussed above. As a result, the information we provide will be different than the information that is available with respect to other public companies.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of Sandbridge’s initial public offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenue exceed $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which we have, during the immediately preceding three-year period, issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.
Following the Business Combination, we will also be a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company, which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions available to emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. We will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our voting and non-voting common

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may be more volatile.
Following the Business Combination, we will incur increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements as a result of becoming a public company.
As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we have not incurred as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also have incurred and will continue to incur costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and related rules implemented by the SEC and the exchange on which our securities are listed. The expenses generally incurred by public companies for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing.
We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations also could make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on our board committees or as our executive officers. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctions, other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.
Risks Related to Regulation of New Owlet’s Industry and Products
We are required to obtain and maintain marketing authorizations from the FDA for medical device products in the U.S., which can be a lengthy and time-consuming process, and a failure to do so on a timely basis, or at all, could severely harm our business.
We are developing certain products, including the Owlet BabySat and Owlet OTC Smart Sock, that we believe will be regulated as medical devices, if approved. Certain other products we are developing, such as the Owlet Band, may also be regulated as medical devices. We currently sell the Owlet Smart Sock, which we market for use by parents of healthy babies to provide peace of mind, and for which we have not sought or obtained any marketing authorization from the FDA or any other governmental authority. In response to inquiries from the FDA and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions regarding the marketing of the Owlet Smart Sock, we have communicated our belief that the Owlet Smart Sock is not a medical device and does not require marketing authorization from the FDA or clearance, approval, certification, or other authorization from such other regulatory authorities. However, the FDA and other regulatory authorities have expressed they may not agree with that conclusion and could require us to obtain such marketing authorization, clearance, approval, or certification to continue to sell the product.
Medical devices are subject to extensive regulation in the United States by local government, state government and the federal government, including by the FDA. The FDA regulates virtually all aspects of a medical device’s design, development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, reporting, sale, promotion, distribution and shipping. In the United States, unless an exemption applies, any medical device that we seek to market in the U.S. must first undergo the FDA’s premarket review pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”), and must receive the FDA’s marketing authorization either via clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, de novo classification, or approval of a premarket approval (“PMA”) application, depending on the type of device. In the 510(k) clearance process, before a device may be marketed, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally-marketed “predicate” device. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data are sometimes required to support substantial equivalence.
50

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In the PMA process, the FDA must determine that a proposed device is safe and effective for its intended use based, in part, on extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, pre-clinical, clinical trial, manufacturing and labeling data. The PMA process is typically required for devices that are deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices. However, some devices are automatically subject to the PMA pathway regardless of the level of risk they pose because they have not previously been classified into a lower risk class by the FDA. Manufacturers of these devices may request that the FDA review such devices in accordance with the de novo classification procedure, which allows a manufacturer whose novel device would otherwise require the submission and approval of a PMA prior to marketing to request down-classification of the device on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk. If the FDA agrees with the down classification, the applicant will then receive authorization to market the device. This device can then be used as a predicate device for future 510(k) submissions.
Modifications to products that are approved through a PMA application may require FDA approval. Similarly, certain modifications made to products cleared through a 510(k) premarket notification or de novo classification may require a new 510(k) clearance. The PMA approval, de novo classification, and the 510(k) clearance process can be expensive, lengthy and uncertain. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to 12 months, but can last longer. The process of obtaining a PMA is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA. In addition, a PMA and de novo classification generally require the performance of one or more clinical trials, and a 510(k) clearance sometimes requires clinical data to support clearance. Despite the time, effort and cost, any particular device may not be authorized for marketing by the FDA. Any delay or failure to obtain necessary marketing authorizations could harm our business.
Even if marketing authorization is granted, such marketing authorization may be limited to only certain indications for use. Medical devices may be marketed only for the indications of use for which they are authorized. Additionally, the FDA might not grant marketing authorizations on a timely basis, if at all, for products or new uses of existing products that are regulated as medical devices and that are determined to require such marketing authorization. In addition, even if FDA marketing authorization is obtained, if safety or effectiveness problems are later identified with any medical device products, we may need to initiate a product recall.
To support any submissions to the FDA seeking marketing authorizations, we may be required to conduct clinical testing of our product candidates. Such clinical testing must be conducted in compliance with FDA requirements pertaining to research with human subjects. Among other requirements, we must obtain informed consent from study subjects and approval by institutional review boards before such studies may begin. We must also comply with other FDA requirements such as monitoring, record-keeping, reporting and the submission of information regarding certain clinical trials to a public database maintained by the National Institutes of Health. In addition, if the study involves a significant risk device, we are required to obtain the FDA’s approval of the study under an Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”). Compliance with these requirements can require significant time and resources. If the FDA determines that we have not complied with such requirements, the FDA may refuse to consider the data to support our submissions seeking marketing authorization or may initiate enforcement actions.
Moreover, clinical testing is expensive and can take many years to complete, and its outcome is inherently uncertain. Failure can occur at any time during the clinical trial process. The results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the results of later-stage clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical trials. A number of companies have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials due to lack of efficacy or adverse safety profiles, notwithstanding promising results in earlier trials. Our future clinical trial results may not be successful. We may also be delayed in our clinical trials, including as related to, among other things: obtaining authorization to initiate clinical trials; reaching agreement on acceptable terms with vendors, clinical trial sites, and contract research organizations; obtaining institutional review board (“IRB”) approvals, recruiting subjects and having them complete the study; experiencing deviations from clinical trial protocols; and adding new clinical sites. We could encounter delays if a clinical trial is suspended or terminated due to a number of factors, including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA or other regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen
51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

safety issues or adverse side effects, failure to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial. If we experience delays in the completion of, or termination of, any clinical trial of our medical device products we seek to develop, the commercial prospects of our proposed products will be harmed, and our ability to generate product revenues from any of these products will be delayed. In addition, any delays in completing our clinical trials will increase our costs, slow down our product development and jeopardize our ability to generate product sales and revenues.
The FDA’s interpretations of its laws and regulations are subject to change. If the FDA changes its policy or concludes that the marketing of any of our products is not in accordance with current policies, regulations or statutory requirements, or if the FDA changes its applicable policies or if changes are introduced to applicable laws or regulations, we may be required to seek clearance or approval for these products through the 510(k), de novo or PMA processes, may not be permitted to continue marketing these products until marketing authorization is obtained, or may be the subject of regulatory enforcement actions.
We have relied and expect to continue to rely on third parties to conduct our nonclinical and clinical studies and perform other tasks for us. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines, or comply with regulatory requirements, we may not be able to obtain marketing authorization for or commercialize our medical device products and our business could be substantially harmed.
We have relied upon and plan to continue to rely upon third parties for execution of our nonclinical and clinical studies, and we control only certain aspects of their activities. Nevertheless, we are responsible for ensuring that each of our studies is conducted in accordance with the applicable protocol, legal, regulatory, and scientific standards and our reliance on third parties does not relieve us of our regulatory responsibilities. We and our third party contractors are required to comply with Good Clinical Practice requirements, or GCPs, and Good Laboratory Practice requirements, or GLPs, which are regulations and guidelines enforced by the FDA and other regulatory authorities for the conduct of clinical and nonclinical studies, respectively. Regulatory authorities enforce these regulations through periodic inspections of study sponsors, principal investigators, study sites, and other contractors. If we or any of our third party contractors fail to comply with applicable regulations, the data generated in our studies may be deemed unreliable and the FDA and other regulatory authorities may require us to perform additional nonclinical and clinical studies before issuing any clearances, approvals, certifications or marketing authorizations for any medical device products we seek to market. Upon inspection by a given regulatory authority, such regulatory authority may determine that our clinical studies do not comply with GCP regulations. Our or our third party contractors’ failure to comply with these regulations may require us to repeat clinical studies, which would delay or prevent any required clearance, approval, certification or marketing authorization from being granted.
If any of our relationships with these third parties terminate, we may not be able to enter into arrangements with alternative third parties or do so on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, our contractors are not our employees, and except for remedies available to us under our agreements with them, we cannot control whether or not they devote sufficient time and resources to our development programs. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines, if they need to be replaced or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our protocols, regulatory requirements, or for other reasons, our studies may be extended, delayed, or terminated and we may not be able to obtain clearances, approvals, certifications or marketing authorizations for or successfully commercialize our proposed medical device products. Third parties may also generate higher costs than anticipated. As a result, our results of operations and the commercial prospects for our proposed products would be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate revenue could be delayed.
We rely on third parties to manufacture our products. Failure of those third parties to provide us with sufficient quantities of our products, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, or to do so at acceptable quality levels or prices could adversely impact our business.
We do not currently have nor do we plan to acquire the infrastructure or capability internally to completely manufacture our commercial products or our development-stage products, and we lack the resources and the capability to manufacture any of our current or future products in the future. We do not control the manufacturing process of, and are completely dependent on, our contract manufacturing partners for compliance
52

TABLE OF CONTENTS

with applicable regulatory requirements for any medical device products we seek to market. For example, the FDA requires adherence to current good manufacturing practice requirements for medical devices, known as the Quality System Regulation, or QSR. If our contract manufacturers cannot successfully manufacture material that conforms to our specifications and the strict regulatory requirements of the FDA or others, our products may not be able to be lawfully marketed. In addition, we have no control over the ability of our contract manufacturers to maintain adequate quality control, quality assurance and qualified personnel. If the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority does not consider these facilities adequate for the manufacture of our products, we may need to find alternative manufacturing facilities, which would significantly impact our ability to develop, obtain clearance, approval, certification or marketing authorization for or market any medical device products we may seek to develop.
We rely on third-party manufacturers to purchase from third-party suppliers the materials necessary to produce our products. There are a limited number of suppliers for raw materials that are used in the manufacture of our products and that we anticipate will be able to supply materials for the production of our future products, and there may be a need to assess alternate suppliers to prevent a possible disruption of the manufacture of the materials. We do not have any control over the process or timing of the acquisition of these raw materials by our manufacturers. If our manufacturers or we are unable to purchase these raw materials, the commercial launch of any medical device products we may seek to develop would be delayed or there would be a shortage in supply, which would impair our ability to generate revenues from the sale of such products, if authorized for marketing.
We expect to continue to depend on third-party contract manufacturers for the foreseeable future. We have not entered into long-term agreements with our current contract manufacturers or with any alternate suppliers, and we may be unable to enter into such an agreement or do so on commercially reasonable terms.
Regulatory reforms may impact our ability to develop and commercialize our products and services and technologies.
From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced that could significantly change the regulatory frameworks governing our products and services.
In addition, regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the government agency in ways that may significantly affect our business or products and services. We cannot predict the impact on our business of any legislation, regulations, or reinterpretations thereof that may be enacted or adopted in the future. However, future regulatory changes could make it more difficult for us to obtain or maintain any necessary marketing authorization for our products and services, or to develop and commercialize future medical devices and technologies.
We may be required to obtain and maintain regulatory authorizations or approvals/certifications in order to commercialize our products in international markets. Failure to obtain regulatory authorizations or approvals/certifications in relevant foreign jurisdictions may prevent us from marketing medical device products abroad.
We currently market and intend to continue to market our products and services internationally. We expect certain of our pipeline products to be regulated as medical devices, and we have received communications from foreign regulatory authorities inquiring as to the regulatory status of our Owlet Smart Sock, and whether such product is regulated as a medical device in such jurisdictions. Outside of the U.S., we can generally market a medical device only if we receive a certification by an independent regulatory body (in the European Economic Area (“EEA”)) or a marketing authorization from other foreign regulatory authorities (and meet certain pre-marketing requirements) and, in some cases, pricing approval, from the appropriate regulatory authorities. The path to market varies among international jurisdictions and may require additional or different product testing than required to obtain FDA marketing authorization. We may be unable to obtain foreign certifications or marketing authorizations on a timely basis, if at all, and we may also incur significant costs in attempting to obtain foreign certifications or marketing authorizations.
In addition, marketing authorization by the FDA does not ensure certifications or marketing authorizations by foreign regulatory authorities. However, a failure to obtain such marketing authorization by the FDA may have a negative impact on our ability to obtain any necessary certifications or marketing authorizations in foreign jurisdictions. Moreover, certifications or marketing authorizations from one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure marketing authorization by any other foreign regulatory authority or by the FDA. If we fail to receive
53

TABLE OF CONTENTS

necessary certifications or marketing authorizations to commercialize our products in foreign jurisdictions on a timely basis, or at all, or if we later lose such certifications or marketing authorizations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, foreign regulatory requirements may change from time to time, which could adversely affect our ability to market new products and services, or continue to market existing products and services, internationally.
Promotion of any medical devices using claims that are off-label, unsubstantiated, false or misleading could subject us to substantial penalties.
Obtaining FDA marketing authorization would permit us to promote the subject medical device only for the specific use(s) cleared or approved by the FDA. Use of a medical device outside its cleared or approved indications is known as “off-label” use. Although physicians may use any medical devices we market off-label because the FDA does not restrict or regulate a physician’s choice of treatment within the practice of medicine, we are prohibited from marketing or promoting any medical devices for off-label use. While we may pursue FDA marketing authorizations for certain indications for any medical devices we seek to market, the FDA may deny those requests, require additional expensive clinical data to support any additional indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any authorized product as a condition of marketing authorization. If the FDA determines that our products were promoted for off-label use, or that false, misleading or inadequately substantiated promotional claims have been made by us or our commercial partners, it could request that we or our commercial partners modify those promotional materials or take regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter or warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine and criminal penalties. While certain U.S. courts have held that truthful, non-misleading, off-label information is protected under the First Amendment under certain circumstances, the FDA continues to take the position that off-label promotion is subject to enforcement action.
It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities may take action if they consider our communications, including promotional or training materials, to constitute promotion of an uncleared, uncertified or unapproved use of a medical device. If not successfully defended, enforcement actions related to off-label promotion could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement. In any such event, our reputation could be damaged, adoption of our products could be impaired and we could be subject to extensive fines and penalties.
Additionally, we must have adequate substantiation for the claims we make for our products and services. If any of our claims are determined to be false, misleading or deceptive, our products and services could be considered misbranded under the FDCA or in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act. We could also face lawsuits from our competitors under the Lanham Act alleging that our marketing materials are false or misleading.
Foreign jurisdictions have their own laws and regulations concerning medical device approval, certification or marketing authorization, including communications, claims and promotional or training materials surrounding those medical devices. Failure to comply with those laws and regulations could result in actions against us, including fines, penalties and exclusion from the market. Any such actions could adversely affect our ability to market new products and services or continue to market existing products and services in those jurisdictions.
If we or our suppliers fail to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products and services, these products and services could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market. Our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business, and changes in such regulations or laws could require us to modify our products and services or marketing or advertising efforts.
Our products and services, along with the manufacturing processes, labeling and promotional activities for our products and services, may be subject to continual review by the FDA, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) or other regulatory bodies, including their counterparts in international jurisdictions, depending on the product and whether such product is a medical device.
Failure by us or one of our suppliers to comply with statutes and regulations administered by any of these regulatory bodies that are applicable to any medical devices we market, or with any applicable statutes and regulations administered by other regulatory bodies, could result in, among other things, any of the following:
54

TABLE OF CONTENTS

warning letters or untitled letters issued by the FDA or FTC and their counterparts in international jurisdictions;
litigation, fines, civil penalties, in rem forfeiture proceedings, injunctions, consent decrees and criminal prosecution;
import alerts and holds;
unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions;
delays in clearing or approving, or refusal to clear or approve, our products, where applicable;
withdrawals or suspensions of clearance or approval of our products or those of our third-party suppliers by the FDA or other regulatory bodies, where applicable;
product recalls or seizures;
adverse publicity;
orders for device repair, replacement or refund;
interruptions of production or inability to export to certain foreign countries; and
operating restrictions.
If any of these items were to occur, it would harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in and failures to comply with U.S. and foreign privacy and data protection laws, regulations and standards may adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance.
The global data protection landscape is rapidly evolving, and we are or may become subject to numerous state, federal and foreign laws, requirements and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and security of health-related and other personal information, including information we collect about children and infants, their parents and other consumers who purchase our products and services, as well as information that we may now or in the future collect in connection with clinical trials in the U.S. and abroad. Implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot yet determine the impact future laws, regulations, standards, or perception of their requirements may have on our business. This evolution may create uncertainty in our business, affect our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions or to collect, store, transfer, use and share personal information, necessitate the acceptance of more onerous obligations in our contracts, result in liability or impose additional costs on us. The cost of compliance with these laws, regulations and standards is high and is likely to increase in the future. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, our internal policies and procedures, or our contracts governing our processing of personal information could result in negative publicity, government investigations and enforcement actions, claims by third parties and damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial performance and business.
As our operations and business grow, we may become subject to or affected by new or additional data protection laws and regulations and face increased scrutiny or attention from regulatory authorities. In the U.S., the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) imposes, among other things, certain standards relating to the privacy, security, transmission and breach reporting of individually identifiable health information.
Certain states have also adopted comparable privacy and security laws and regulations, some of which may be more stringent than HIPAA. Such laws and regulations will be subject to interpretation by various courts and other governmental authorities, thus creating potentially complex compliance issues for us and our future customers and strategic partners.
In addition, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) on June 28, 2018, which took effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA creates individual privacy rights for California consumers and increases the privacy and security obligations of entities handling certain personal data. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. The CCPA may increase our compliance costs and potential liability, and many similar laws have been proposed at the federal level and in other states. Further, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) recently passed in California. The CPRA will impose additional data protection obligations on
55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

covered businesses, including additional consumer rights processes, limitations on data uses, new audit requirements for higher risk data, and opt outs for certain uses of sensitive data. It will also create a new California data protection agency authorized to issue substantive regulations and could result in increased privacy and information security enforcement. The majority of the provisions will go into effect on January 1, 2023, and additional compliance investment and potential business process changes may be required. In the event that we are subject to or affected by HIPAA, the CCPA, the CPRA or other domestic privacy and data protection laws, any liability from failure to comply with the requirements of these laws could adversely affect our financial condition.
We are also or may become subject to rapidly evolving data protection laws, rules and regulations in foreign jurisdictions. For example, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) went into effect in May 2018 and imposes strict requirements for processing the personal data of individuals within the EEA. The GDPR imposes strict obligations on the ability to process health-related and other personal data of individuals within the EEA, including in relation to use, collection, analysis, and transfer (including cross-border transfer) of such personal data. The law is also developing rapidly and, in July 2020, the Court of Justice of the EU limited how organizations could lawfully transfer personal data from the EEA to the U.S. In addition, EU and EEA Member States may impose further obligations relating to the processing of genetic, biometric or health data, which could further add to our compliance costs and limit how we process this information. Companies that must comply with the GDPR face increased compliance obligations and risk, including more robust regulatory enforcement of data protection requirements and potential fines for noncompliance of up to €20 million or 4% of the annual global revenues of the noncompliant company, whichever is greater. Further, from January 1, 2021, companies have to comply with the GDPR and also the UK GDPR (“UK GDPR”), which, together with the amended United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018, retains the GDPR in UK national law. The UK GDPR mirrors the fines under the GDPR, e.g. fines up to the greater of €20 million (£17.5 million) or 4% of global turnover. The relationship between the UK and the EU in relation to certain aspects of data protection law remains unclear, and it is unclear how UK data protection laws and regulations will develop in the medium to longer term, and how data transfers to and from the UK will be regulated in the long term. Currently there is a four to six-month grace period agreed in the EU and United Kingdom Trade and Cooperation Agreement, ending June 30, 2021 at the latest, whilst the parties discuss an adequacy decision. However, it is not clear whether (and when) an adequacy decision may be granted by the European Commission enabling data transfers from EU member states to the UK long term without additional measures. These changes may lead to additional costs and increase our overall risk exposure. Furthermore, other international jurisdictions, including Singapore, South Korea, China, Brazil, Mexico and Australia, have also implemented laws relating to data privacy and protection.
Although we work to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards, our contractual obligations and other legal obligations, these requirements are evolving and may be modified, interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and may conflict with one another or other legal obligations with which we must comply. Any failure or perceived failure by us or our employees, representatives, contractors, consultants, collaborators, or other third parties to comply with such requirements or adequately address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
To the extent we market any medical devices or other healthcare products and services, our relationships with customers, physicians and third-party payors may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, and other healthcare laws and regulations. If we or our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners, or vendors violate these laws, we could face substantial penalties.
To the extent we market any medical devices or other healthcare products and services, our relationships with customers, physicians, and third-party payors may be subject, directly or indirectly, to federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, false claims laws, and other healthcare laws and regulations. These laws may impact, among other things, our proposed and future sales, marketing, and education programs. In particular, the promotion, sales and marketing of healthcare items and services is subject to extensive laws and regulations designed to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive, and other business arrangements. We may also be subject to federal, state and foreign laws governing the privacy and security of identifiable patient information. The U.S. healthcare laws and regulations that may affect our ability to operate include, but are not limited to:
56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any remuneration, directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, in cash or in kind, to induce, or in return for, the purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for the purchase, lease, or order of any item or service reimbursable under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. A person or entity does not have to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;
federal civil and criminal false claims laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, and civil monetary penalty laws, which prohibit, among other things, individuals or entities from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment or approval from Medicare, Medicaid, or other federal government programs that are false or fraudulent or knowingly making a false statement to improperly avoid, decrease or conceal an obligation to pay money to the federal government, including federal healthcare programs. In addition, the government may assert that claim includes items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the false claims statute;
HIPAA, which created new federal civil and criminal statutes that prohibit knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program or obtain, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, any of the money or property owned by, or under the custody or control of, any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payors and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up by any trick, scheme or device, a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statements in connection with the delivery of, or payment for, healthcare benefits, items or services. Similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, a person or entity does not have to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation;
the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologicals and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (with certain exceptions) to report annually to CMS information related to payments or other transfers of value made to physicians, as defined by such law, certain other healthcare providers beginning in 2022 and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members;
federal consumer protection and unfair competition laws, which broadly regulate marketplace activities and activities that potentially harm consumers; and
state and foreign equivalents of each of the healthcare laws described above, some of which may be broader in scope.
Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors available, it is possible that some of our business activities, or any arrangements with physicians, could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. It is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct or business noncompliance, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent inappropriate conduct may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements will comply with applicable healthcare laws may involve substantial costs. It is possible that governmental and enforcement authorities will conclude that our business practices may not comply with current or future statutes, regulations or case law interpreting applicable fraud and abuse or other healthcare laws and regulations. If we or our employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners and vendors violate these laws, we may be subject to investigations, enforcement actions or significant penalties, including the imposition of significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, disgorgement, monetary fines, imprisonment, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, additional reporting requirements or oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or similar agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance with these laws, and curtailment of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations. In addition, any regulatory approvals (as applicable) and commercialization of our products
57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

outside the United States will also likely subject us to foreign equivalents of the healthcare laws mentioned above, among other foreign laws. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against such action, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.
Expanding our commercial strategy based on third-party payor coverage and reimbursement may not be successful and will subject us to new risks, including, without limitation, changes in third-party payor coding, coverage and reimbursement rates for our products that obtain FDA authorization which could affect the adoption of such products and negatively impact our future revenue.
With respect to our current products, including the Owlet Smart Sock, Owlet Cam and Owlet Dream Lab, we utilize a direct-to-consumer model where consumers purchase our products directly from us or one of our retailers. Currently, these products are not covered or reimbursed by any third-party payor. We are actively developing a strategy to enable healthcare providers to obtain reimbursement for products for which we successfully obtain FDA authorization, including the Owlet BabySat, or the services associated with such products. However, this new strategy may not be successful as payors may refuse to provide coverage and reimbursement for these products even if we obtain FDA authorization.
In the United States, healthcare providers who may purchase these products generally rely on third-party payors, including Medicare, Medicaid and private health insurance plans, to pay for all or a portion of the cost of our products. To contain costs of new technologies, governmental healthcare programs and third-party payors are increasingly scrutinizing new and existing medical devices by requiring extensive evidence of favorable clinical outcomes. To the extent we market any medical devices, are successful in obtaining FDA marketing authorization to the extent applicable, and third-party payors determine that our products are medically necessary and clinically effective, the resulting reimbursement payment rates might not be adequate or may require co-payments that patients find unacceptably high. Third-party payors regularly update reimbursement amounts and may also revise the methodologies from time to time used to determine reimbursement amounts. This includes routine updates to payments to physicians for services provided. These updates could directly impact the demand for our products. Although we believe that healthcare providers may be able to bill third-party payors using existing Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes for the remote monitoring of patients using products for which we obtain FDA authorization, including the initial set-up and patient education on the use of such products, their inability to obtain adequate reimbursement from third-party payors may adversely affect our business.
In addition, foreign jurisdictions have their own unique healthcare systems and regulation regimes that differ substantially from the U.S. and other international markets. Successfully navigating those regimes will require significant resources and may ultimately be unsuccessful. As a result, our financial performance could be harmed, our costs could increase, and our ability to generate revenue could be delayed.
Given the evolving nature of the healthcare industry and on-going healthcare cost reforms, the likelihood of success of our new commercial strategy is, and will continue to be, subject to changes in the level of third-party payor coverage and reimbursement for these products and services.
Legislative and regulatory changes in the healthcare industry could have a negative impact on our financial performance. Furthermore, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be significantly and adversely affected by healthcare reform legislation in the U.S. or in potential key international markets.
Changes in the healthcare industry in the U.S. and abroad could adversely affect the demand for our potential medical devices and the way in which we conduct our business. For example, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the “ACA”), enacted in 2010, required most individuals to have health insurance, established new regulations on health plans, created insurance-pooling mechanisms and reduced Medicare spending on services provided by hospitals and other providers. Since its enactment, there have been legislative, executive and judicial challenges to certain aspects of the ACA, and the constitutionality of the ACA is currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Any medical devices we market and related business activities would be subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA and other federal, state and international governmental authorities. These authorities and members of Congress have been increasing their scrutiny over the medical device industry. In recent years, Congress, the
58

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Defense have issued subpoenas and other requests for information to medical device manufacturers, primarily related to financial arrangements with healthcare providers, regulatory compliance and marketing and product promotional practices. Furthermore, certain state governments have enacted legislation to limit or increase transparency of interactions with healthcare providers, pursuant to which we are required by law to disclose payments and other transfers of value to healthcare providers licensed by certain states.
We anticipate that the government will continue to scrutinize the medical device industry closely, and any new regulations or statutory provisions could result in delays or increased costs during the periods of product development, clinical trials and regulatory review and marketing authorization, as applicable, as well as increased costs to assure compliance.
In Europe, the Medical Devices Regulation (2017/745 or “MDR”), which is directly applicable in all EEA Member States without the need for adoption of EEA Member State laws implementing them is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EEA for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation, among other things. The MDR was due to become applicable in May 2020, but in light of COVID-19, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU adopted a proposal in April 2020 to extend the transitional period of the MDR until May 26, 2021. However, devices lawfully placed on the market pursuant to the existing EU Medical Devices Directive prior to May 26, 2021 may generally continue to be made available on the market or put into service until May 26, 2025. Once applicable, the new regulations will among other things:
strengthen the rules on placing devices on the market and reinforce surveillance once they are available;
establish explicit provisions on manufacturers’ responsibilities for the follow-up of the quality, performance and safety of devices placed on the market;
improve the traceability of medical devices throughout the supply chain to the end-user or patient through a unique identification number;
set up a central database to provide patients, healthcare professionals and the public with comprehensive information on products available in the EU; and
strengthen the rules for the assessment of certain high-risk devices, such as implants, which may have to undergo an additional check by experts before they are placed on the market.
These modifications are likely to have an effect on the way we conduct our business in the EEA. For example, as a result of the transition towards the new regime, notified body review times have lengthened, and product future introductions or modifications could be delayed or canceled, which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business and our future products.
Our employees, consultants, sales agents, distributors and other commercial partners may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including non-compliance with regulatory standards and requirements.
We are exposed to the risk that our employees, consultants, sales agents, distributors and other commercial partners may engage in fraudulent or illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless or negligent conduct or other unauthorized activities that violate the regulations of the FDA and other U.S. healthcare regulators, as well as non-U.S. regulators, including those laws requiring the reporting of true, complete and accurate information to such regulators, manufacturing standards, healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations in the United States and abroad or laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry, including the sale of medical devices, are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by our employees, sales agencies, distributors and other third parties, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us and we are not successful in defending ourselves or
59

TABLE OF CONTENTS

asserting our rights, those actions could result in the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and curtailment of operations. Whether or not we are successful in defending against such actions or investigations, we could incur substantial costs, including legal fees, and divert the attention of management in defending ourselves against any of these claims or investigations.
We may be subject to regulatory reporting requirements if our products and services cause or contribute to a death or serious injury or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or in certain other scenarios, and we may need to initiate voluntary corrective actions such as the recall of our products.
Regulatory agencies in many countries require us to report potential safety issues with our products and services under a variety of circumstances. For example, the FDA’s Medical Device Reporting regulations require that for any medical device we market, we report when we become aware of information that reasonably suggests that the product may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned in a way that, if the malfunction were to recur, would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. We may fail to report adverse events of which we become aware within the prescribed timeframe. We may also fail to recognize that we have become aware of a reportable adverse event, especially if it is not reported to us as an adverse event or if it is an adverse event that is unexpected or removed in time from the use of the implant system. If we fail to comply with our reporting obligations, the FDA could take action, including warning letters, untitled letters, administrative actions, criminal prosecution, imposition of civil monetary penalties, revocation of our device clearance, seizure of our products or delay in clearance of future products. Similarly, under the CPSC consumer product reporting requirements, we are required to report to the CPSC any incident in which a CPSC-regulated product of ours creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, contains a defect which could create a substantial product hazard, fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety rule, or fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard or ban enforced by the CPSC. In addition, all manufacturers placing medical devices on the market in the EEA are legally required to immediately report any serious or potentially serious incidents involving products produced or sold by the manufacturer to the relevant authority in those jurisdictions where any such incident occurred. As to general consumer products, where manufacturers and distributors know or ought to know that a product that they have placed on the market poses risks to the consumer that are incompatible with the general safety requirements, they shall immediately inform the relevant authority in the relevant jurisdictions. The FDA, CPSC and similar foreign regulatory authorities have the authority to require the recall of our commercialized products under certain circumstances and depending on the type of product. For example, the FDA must find that there is a reasonable probability that a medical device would cause serious adverse health consequences or death in order to require a recall. The standard for ordering a mandatory recall may be different for each regulatory agency and in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, manufacturers may, under their own initiative, correct or remove a marketed product for any reason and under any circumstance, which may constitute a recall if the product violates applicable laws. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us or by one of our distributors could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues.
We may initiate certain field actions, such as a correction or removal of our products in the future. Any correction or removal initiated by us to reduce a health risk posed by a medical device, or to remedy a regulatory violation caused by the device that may present a risk to health, must be reported to the FDA. Other regulatory authorities may have similar reporting requirements. If the regulatory agency subsequently determines that a report was required for a correction or removal of our products that we did not believe required a report, we could be subject to enforcement actions.
Any recalls of our products or enforcement actions would divert managerial and financial resources and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, given our dependence upon consumer perceptions, any negative publicity associated with any recalls could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
We face the risk of product liability claims and the amount of insurance coverage we hold now or in the future may not be adequate to cover all liabilities we might incur.
Our products are predominantly used in the home and expose us to product liability claims and product recalls, including, but not limited to, those that may arise from off-label use, malfunctions, design flaws or
60

TABLE OF CONTENTS

manufacturing defects related to our products or the use of our products with incompatible components or systems. In addition, as we continue to expand our product portfolio, we may enter or create new markets, including consumer markets, which may expose us to additional product liability risks. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranty. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our products. Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in decreased demand for our current or future products, injury to our reputation, costs to defend the related litigation, a diversion of management’s time and our resources, substantial monetary awards to customers, regulatory investigations, product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions, loss of revenue, and the inability to sell our current or any future products.
Our product liability insurance may not be sufficient to cover any or all damages for product liability claims that may be brought against us in the future. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain or maintain insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or in adequate amounts to protect us against any product liability claims. Additionally, the laws and regulations regarding product liability are constantly evolving, both through the passage of new legislation at the state and federal levels and through new interpretations of existing legislation. As the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding product liability change, we may become exposed to greater liability than currently anticipated.
We may incur environmental and personal injury liabilities related to certain hazardous materials used in our operations.
Certain manufacturing processes for our products may involve the storage, use, generation and disposal of certain hazardous materials and wastes, including lead, silicone adhesives, solder and solder paste, sealants, epoxies and various solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone and isopropyl alcohol. As a result, we are subject to certain environmental laws, as well as certain other laws and regulations, which restrict the materials that can be used in our products or in our manufacturing processes. For example, products that we sell in Europe are subject to regulation in the EU markets under the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances Directive (“RoHS”). RoHS prohibits companies from selling products that contain certain hazardous materials in EU Member States. In addition, the EU’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation also restricts substances of very high concern in products. Compliance with such regulations may be costly and, therefore, we may incur significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations.
In addition, new environmental laws may further affect how we manufacture our products, how we use, generate or dispose of hazardous materials and waste, or further affect what materials can be used in our products. Any required changes to our operations may increase our manufacturing costs, detrimentally impact the performance of our products, add greater testing lead-times for product introductions or have other similar effects.
In connection with our research and manufacturing activities, we use, and our employees may be exposed to, materials that are hazardous to human health, safety or the environment. The risk of accidental injury to our employees or contamination from these materials cannot be eliminated, and we could be held liable for any resulting damages, the related liability for which could exceed our reserves. We do not specifically insure against environmental liabilities. If an enforcement action were to occur, our reputation and our business and financial condition may be harmed, even if we were to prevail or settle the action on terms favorable to us.
Changes to government immigration regulations may materially affect our workforce and limit our supply of qualified professionals, or increase our cost of securing workers.
We recruit professionals on a global basis and must comply with the immigration laws in the countries in which we operate, including the U.S. Some of our employees are working under Owlet-sponsored temporary work visas, including H1-B visas. Statutory law limits the number of new H1-B temporary work permit petitions that may be approved in a fiscal year. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the current U.S. immigration visa program may be significantly overhauled, and the number of H1-B visas available, as well as the process to
61

TABLE OF CONTENTS

obtain them, may be subject to significant change. Any resulting changes to this visa program could impact our ability to recruit, hire and retain qualified skilled personnel. If we are unable to obtain work visas in sufficient quantities or at a sufficient rate for a significant period of time, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to New Owlet’s Intellectual Property
Our success depends in part on our proprietary technology, and if we are unable to obtain, maintain or successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, the commercial value of our products and services will be adversely affected, our competitive position may be harmed and we may be unable to operate our business profitably.
Our intellectual property includes the content of our website, our software code, our unregistered copyrights, our registered and unregistered trademarks, and our patents and patent applications. Our success and ability to compete depend in part on our ability to maintain and enforce existing intellectual property and to obtain, maintain and enforce further intellectual property protection for our products and services, both in the United States and in other countries. We attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party and employee confidentiality and assignment agreements. Our intellectual property rights could also be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or to otherwise provide competitive advantages. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or if they are challenged or otherwise prove ineffective, we may be required to undertake costly product redesign efforts or discontinue certain products, or our competitive position may be harmed. As of December 31, 2020, we had 33 issued patents (with numerous others pending) and 38 registered trademarks.
We rely on our portfolio of issued and pending patent applications in the United States and other countries to protect our intellectual property and our competitive position. However, the patent positions of technology-based companies may involve complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, the scope, validity and enforceability of any patent claims that we may obtain cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, we cannot provide any assurances that any of our issued patents have, or that any of our currently pending or future patent applications that mature into issued patents will include, claims with a scope sufficient to protect our products and services. Our pending and future patent applications may not result in the issuance of patents or, if issued, may not issue in a form that will be advantageous to us. While we generally apply for patents in those countries where we intend to make, have made, use or sell patented products and services, we may not accurately predict all of the countries where patent protection will ultimately be desirable. If we fail to timely file for a patent, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date. Additionally, any patents issued to us may be challenged, narrowed, invalidated, held unenforceable or circumvented, or may not be sufficiently broad to prevent third parties from producing competing products and services similar in design to our products and services.
In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases and several laws have been enacted that, in certain situations, potentially narrow the scope of patent protection available and weaken the rights of patent owners. We may not be successful in securing additional patents on commercially desirable improvements, that such additional patents will adequately protect our innovations or offset the effect of expiring patents, or that competitors will not be able to design around our patents. In addition, third parties may challenge our issued patents through procedures such as Inter-Partes Review (“IPR”). In many IPR challenges, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) cancels or significantly narrows issued patent claims. IPR challenges could increase the uncertainties and costs associated with the maintenance, enforcement and defense of our issued and future patents and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We also utilize unpatented proprietary technology and know-how and often rely on confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, independent distributors and consultants to protect and transfer to us such unpatented proprietary technology and know-how. However, such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, or in the event that our competitors discover or independently develop similar or identical designs or other proprietary information.
62

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We rely on the use of common law copyrights with respect to the code, algorithms and trade secrets in our business and our products and services. Common law copyrights provide less protection than registered copyrights. Copyrights, common law or registered, do not generally prevent others from independently developing the same or similar code, algorithms or trade secrets, so our copyrights would not offer protection against our competitors to the extent they are able to independently generate similar code, algorithms or trade secrets as our own. Loss of rights in our copyrights could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on the use of registered and common law trademarks with respect to the brand names of some of our products and services. Common law trademarks provide less protection than registered trademarks. If a third party were to register trademarks similar to our unregistered trademarks in a given jurisdiction, particularly outside the United States, our ability to continue using our unregistered trademarks in the applicable jurisdiction could be substantially restricted and we may be subject to potentially costly and burdensome claims for trademark infringement. Loss of rights in our trademarks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our competitive position may be harmed.
We rely on our trademarks, logos, and trade names to distinguish our products and services from the products and services of our competitors, and have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. There can be no assurance that our trademark applications will be approved. While we generally apply for trademarks in those countries where we intend to sell our products and services, we may not accurately predict all of the countries where registered trademarks will be desirable. We may also fail to register appropriate localized versions of our trademarks. If we fail to timely file for a trademark application in a country, we may be precluded from doing so at a later date and our ability to sell products and services using our existing brands in such countries could ultimately be restricted. Third parties may also oppose our trademark applications or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products and services, which could result in loss of brand recognition, and could require us to devote resources to advertising and marketing new brands. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not infringe our trademarks or that we will have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks or will be successful in enforcing our trademarks. If competitors or other third parties use similar trademarks for similar products and services, the value and recognition of our brand and trademarks may be diluted or diminished.
We also license third parties to use our trademarks. In an effort to preserve our trademark rights, we enter into license agreements with these third parties, which govern the use of our trademarks and require our licensees to abide by quality control standards with respect to the goods and services that they provide under our trademarks.
Although we make efforts to monitor the use of our trademarks by our licensees, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient to ensure that our licensees abide by the terms of their licenses. In the event that our licensees fail to do so, our trademark rights could be diluted. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
We rely on third-party technology solutions, including software and software services, to support our IT infrastructure and in our products and services.
Both our IT infrastructure and our products and services leverage third-party technology solutions, software and software services. While much of this third-party technology is commercially available, off-the-shelf technology procured on standard terms and conditions, we cannot be assured that the applicable vendors will continue to make this third-party technology available on the same terms and conditions. Because this technology has been integrated into our operations and may have been configured for our specific needs, replacement of such technology could result in substantial delay, additional costs, and possible business interruptions. In addition, if third-party vendors, including any cloud service providers, were to experience unplanned downtime, delays or other similar issues, our products, services and internal operations could be significantly and adversely impacted.
63

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Increased use of social media could create or amplify the effects of negative publicity and adversely affect sales and operating results.
As part of our marketing efforts, we rely on search engine marketing and social media platforms to attract and retain customers. These efforts may not be successful, and pose a variety of other risks, including the improper disclosure of proprietary information, the posting of negative comments about our brand, the exposure of personally identifiable information, fraud, use of out of date information or failure to comply with regulations regarding such practices. Negative or false commentary about us or our products or services may be posted on social media platforms and may harm our reputation or business and social media has also given users the ability to more effectively organize collective actions, such as boycotts, which could be taken against us or our products or services. Customers value readily available information and often act on such information without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. The inappropriate use of social media vehicles, including a failure to abide by applicable laws and regulations, in the use of social media by us or our influencers, employees, contractors, suppliers, customers or other third parties associated or perceived to be associated with us could increase our costs, lead to litigation, fines or regulatory action or result in negative publicity that could damage our reputation. The occurrence of any such developments could have an adverse effect on our business results.
In addition, events reported in the media, including social media, whether or not accurate or involving us or our products or services, could create or amplify negative publicity for us or for the industry or market segments in which we operate. These and other types of social media risks could reduce demand for products and services offered by us and/or shift consumer preferences to competitors and could result in a decrease in customer demand for our products and services.
If we fail to execute enforceable invention assignment and confidentiality agreements with our employees and contractors involved in the development of intellectual property or are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, the value of our products and services and our business and competitive position could be harmed.
In addition to patent protection, we also rely on protection of copyrights, trade secrets, know-how and confidential and proprietary information. We generally enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties upon their commencement of a relationship with us. However, we may not enter into such agreements with all employees, consultants and third parties who have been involved in the development of our intellectual property and such agreements may not be enforceable in accordance with the terms in every jurisdiction where such employees, consultants or third parties reside or are employed. In addition, these agreements may not provide meaningful protection against the unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets or other confidential information, and adequate remedies may not exist if unauthorized use or disclosure were to occur. The exposure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information would impair our competitive advantages and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, a failure to protect our proprietary rights may allow competitors to copy our technology, which could adversely affect our pricing and market share. Further, other parties may independently develop substantially equivalent know-how and technology.
In addition to contractual measures, we try to protect the confidential nature of our proprietary information using commonly accepted physical and technological security measures. Such measures may not, for example, in the case of misappropriation of a trade secret by an employee or third party with authorized access, provide adequate protection for our proprietary information. Our security measures may not prevent an employee or consultant from misappropriating our trade secrets and providing them to a competitor, and recourse we take against such misconduct may not provide an adequate remedy to protect our interests fully. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to copy or reverse engineer certain aspects of our products and services that we consider proprietary and a trade secret. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. Even though we use commonly accepted security measures, trade secret violations are often a matter of state law, and the criteria for protection of trade secrets can vary among different jurisdictions. In addition, trade secrets may be independently developed by others in a manner that could prevent legal recourse by us. We also have agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties that obligate them to assign their inventions to us, however these agreements may not be self-executing, not all employees or consultants may enter into such agreements, or employees or consultants may breach or violate the terms of these agreements, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach or violation. If any of our intellectual property or confidential or proprietary
64

TABLE OF CONTENTS

information, such as our trade secrets, were to be disclosed or misappropriated, or if any such information was independently developed by a competitor, it could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
The laws of foreign countries may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights.
Intellectual property protection laws in foreign jurisdictions differ substantially from those in the U.S. If we fail to apply for intellectual property protection in foreign jurisdictions, or if we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property rights in these foreign jurisdictions, our competitors may be able to compete more effectively against us, which could adversely affect our competitive position, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights, we may incur liabilities and costs and may have to redesign or discontinue selling certain products and services.
Searching for existing third-party intellectual property rights and evaluating its applicability to our products and services can be a costly and time-consuming process. Such searches and evaluation may not reveal important intellectual property and our competitors may also have filed for patent protection, which may not be publicly-available information, or claimed trademark rights that have not been revealed through our searches. We may not undertake such searches and evaluation of third-party intellectual property rights and, as a result, may not be aware of intellectual property rights that could be asserted against our products or services. In addition, some of our employees were previously employed at other consumer product, medical device and Internet of Things/smart device companies. We may be subject to claims that our employees have disclosed, or that we have used, trade secrets or other proprietary information of our employees’ former employers. Our efforts to identify and avoid infringing on third parties’ intellectual property rights may not always be successful. Any claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement against us, even those without merit, could:
be expensive and time-consuming to defend and result in payment of significant damages to third parties;
force us to stop making or selling products and services that incorporate the intellectual property;
require us to redesign, reengineer or rebrand our products and services, product candidates and technologies;
require us to enter into royalty agreements that would increase the costs of our products and services;
require us to indemnify third parties pursuant to contracts in which we have agreed to provide indemnification for intellectual property infringement claims;
divert the attention of our management and other key employees; and
result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of the affected products and services impacted by the claims until the claims are resolved;
any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, new patents obtained by our competitors could threaten the continued commercialization of our products and services in the market even after they have already been introduced.
We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our intellectual property, which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful.
Third parties, including our competitors, could be infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights. We do not regularly conduct monitoring for unauthorized use at this time. From time to time, we seek to analyze our competitors’ products and services, or seek to enforce our rights against potential infringement, misappropriation or violation of our intellectual property. However, the steps we have taken, or take in the future, to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate to enforce our rights as against such infringement, misappropriation or violation of our intellectual property. We may not be able to detect unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Any inability to meaningfully enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our ability to compete and reduce demand for our products and services.
65

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe some of the new market entrants in our industry, including some of the world’s largest technology companies, may in the future infringe our intellectual property, and we may be required to engage in litigation to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could harm our business. In any lawsuit we bring to enforce our intellectual property rights, a court may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on grounds that our intellectual property rights do not cover the technology or actions in question. If we initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering a product, the defendant could counterclaim that such patent is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace.
Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness, or non-enablement. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant information from the PTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. Mechanisms for such challenges include re-examination, post-grant review, IPR, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions (e.g., opposition proceedings). Such proceedings could result in the revocation of, cancellation of, or amendment to our patents in such a way that they no longer cover our products and services, or any future products and services that we may develop.
The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, we cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which we and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, we would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on our products and services. Such a loss of patent protection would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during litigation. There could also be public announcements of the results of hearing, motions, or other interim developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of shares of our common stock. Even if we ultimately prevail, a court may decide not to grant an injunction against further infringing activity and instead award only monetary damages, which may not be an adequate remedy. Furthermore, the monetary cost of such litigation and the diversion of the attention of our management could outweigh any benefit we receive as a result of the proceedings. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may be subject to claims that we or our employees have misappropriated the intellectual property of a third party, including trade secrets or know-how, or are in breach of non-competition or non-solicitation agreements with our competitors and third parties may claim an ownership interest in intellectual property we regard as our own.
Many of our employees and consultants were previously employed at or engaged by other companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. Some of these employees, consultants and contractors may have executed proprietary rights, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements in connection with such previous employment. Although we try to ensure that our employees and consultants do not use the intellectual property, proprietary information, know-how or trade secrets of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or these individuals have, inadvertently or otherwise, misappropriated the intellectual property or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information, of these former employers, competitors or other third parties. Additionally, we may be subject to claims from third parties challenging our ownership interest in or inventorship of intellectual property we regard as our own, based on claims that our agreements with employees or consultants obligating them to assign intellectual property to us are ineffective or in conflict with prior or competing contractual obligations to assign inventions to another employer, to a former employer, or to another person or entity. Litigation may be necessary to defend against claims, and it may be necessary or we may desire to enter into a license to settle any such claim; however, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If our defense to those claims fails, in addition to paying monetary damages or a settlement payment, a court could prohibit us from using technologies, features or other intellectual property that are essential to our products and services, if such technologies or
66

TABLE OF CONTENTS

features are found to incorporate or be derived from the trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. An inability to incorporate technologies, features or other intellectual property that are important or essential to our products and services could have a material adverse effect on our business and competitive position, and may prevent us from selling our products and services. In addition, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and could be a distraction to management. Any litigation or the threat thereof may adversely affect our ability to hire employees or contract with independent sales representatives. A loss of key personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize our products and services, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and prospects.
Our proprietary software may not operate properly, which could damage our reputation, give rise to claims against us, or divert application of our resources from other purposes, any of which could harm our business and operating results.
Proprietary software and hardware development is time-consuming, expensive and complex, and may involve unforeseen difficulties. We may encounter technical obstacles, and it is possible that we discover additional problems or design defects that prevent our proprietary software from operating properly. We have experienced product design issues in the past and continue to work to address those and anticipate additional concerns. If our services do not function reliably, malfunction, or fail to achieve customer expectations in terms of performance, customers could assert liability claims against us or attempt to cancel their contracts with us. This could damage our reputation and impair our ability to attract or maintain customers.
The software underlying our products and services is highly complex and may contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities, some of which may only be discovered after our products and services have been used by our customers. Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs or other vulnerabilities discovered in our products or services could result in negative publicity and damage to our reputation, loss of customers, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and services, loss of competitive position, loss of revenue or liability for damages, fines or regulatory actions, overpayments or underpayments, any of which could harm our enrollment rates. Similarly, any real or perceived errors, failures, design flaws or defects in our devices could have similar negative results. In such an event, we may be required or may choose to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem. Such efforts could be costly, or ultimately unsuccessful. Even if we are successful at remediating issues, we may experience damage to our reputation and brand. There can be no assurance that provisions typically included in our agreements with partners that attempt to limit our exposure to claims would be enforceable or adequate or would otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to any particular claim. Even if unsuccessful, a claim brought against us by any customers or partners would likely be time-consuming and costly to defend and could seriously damage our reputation and brand.
General Risk Factors Relating to New Owlet
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth may be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our operations and revenues and overall financial condition by harming the ability or willingness of customers to pay for our products and services due to macro-economic conditions resulting from the pandemic or the operations of manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties with which we do business. These challenges will likely continue for the duration of the pandemic, which is uncertain, and the macro-economic effects of the pandemic will likely continue far beyond the duration of the pandemic.
Numerous state and local jurisdictions have imposed, and others in the future may impose, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Although the governor of Utah, where our headquarters are located, has not issued any “shelter-in-place” or “stay at home” orders, such orders could be instituted as the COVID-19 pandemic continues or worsens. We have taken a number of precautionary measures to manage our resources and mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic, which is intended to help minimize the risk to our employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Employees at our headquarters and certain other employees have been asked to work from home where possible, with only limited access given to employees to
67

TABLE OF CONTENTS

work in the office when necessary. For roles that require employees to be on-site, we are providing protective equipment, practicing social distancing and increasing sanitizing standards. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, other potential disruptions may include delays by applicable state or federal regulatory bodies in processing potential submissions to that regulatory body, delays in product development efforts and additional government requirements or other incremental mitigation efforts that may further impact our capacity to manufacture, sell and support the use of our Owlet technologies. In addition, even after “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders and restrictions for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19 are lifted, we may continue to experience disruptions to our business.
While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration of COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, affecting our ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in a significant increase in unemployment in the United States which may continue even after the pandemic subsides. The occurrence of any such events may lead to reduced disposable income which could adversely affect the number of our products and services sold after the pandemic has subsided. Further, although we have experienced growth in our sales volume during the COVID-19 pandemic, this and any other favorable impacts we have experienced in connection with the pandemic may subside, and the ultimate effect of COVID-19 on our sales volume and other results of operations could differ substantially from our expectations and our experience to date.
We are involved, and may become involved in the future, in disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings that, if adversely decided or settled, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are, and may in the future become, party to litigation, regulatory proceedings or other disputes. In general, claims made by or against us in disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings can be expensive and time-consuming to bring or defend against, requiring us to expend significant resources and divert the efforts and attention of our management and other personnel from our business operations. These potential claims may include but are not limited to personal injury and class action lawsuits, intellectual property claims and regulatory investigations relating to the advertising and promotional claims about our products and services and employee claims against us based on, among other things, discrimination, harassment or wrongful termination. Any one of these claims, even those without merit, may divert our financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit the future performance of our operations. Any adverse determination against us in these proceedings, or even the allegations contained in the claims, regardless of whether they are ultimately found to be without merit, may also result in settlements, injunctions or damages that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changing laws and increasingly complex corporate governance and public disclosure requirements could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure and new regulations issued by the SEC and the NYSE have and will create additional compliance requirements for us following the Business Combination. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions regarding, among other things, advisory votes on named executive officer compensation and “conflict minerals” reporting. Complying with these rules and regulations has increased and will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also need to hire additional employees or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase our costs and expenses. To maintain high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, we have invested in, and intend to continue to invest in, reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards.
In addition, stockholder litigation surrounding executive compensation and disclosure of executive compensation has increased with the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act. Furthermore, our stockholders may not continue to approve our advisory vote on named executive officer compensation that is required to be voted on by our stockholders annually pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. If we are involved in a lawsuit related to compensation matters or any other matters not covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, we may
68

TABLE OF CONTENTS

incur significant expenses in defending against such lawsuits, or be subject to significant fines or required to take significant remedial actions, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in the regulation of the internet could adversely affect our business.
Laws, rules and regulations governing internet communications, advertising and e-commerce are dynamic, and the extent of future government regulation is uncertain. Federal and state regulations govern various aspects of our online business, including intellectual property ownership and infringement, trade secrets, the distribution of electronic communications, marketing and advertising, user privacy and data security, search engines and internet tracking technologies. Governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party “cookies” and other methods of online tracking for behavioral advertising and other purposes. In the U.S., federal and state governments have enacted, and may in the future enact, legislation or regulations impacting the ability of companies and individuals to engage in these activities, such as by regulating the level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ cookies or other electronic tracking tools or the use of data gathered with such tools. Additionally, some providers of consumer devices and web browsers have implemented, or announced plans to implement, limits on behavioral or targeted advertising and/or means to make it easier for internet users to prevent the placement of cookies or to block other tracking technologies, which could, if widely adopted, result in the decreased effectiveness or use of third-party cookies and other methods of online tracking, targeting or re-targeting. The regulation of the use of these cookies and other current online tracking and advertising practices or a loss in our ability to make effective use of services that employ such technologies could increase our costs of operations and limit our ability to acquire new consumers on cost-effective terms and consequently, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, in the EU and the UK, regulators are increasingly focusing on compliance with requirements in the online behavioral advertising ecosystem, and current national laws that implement the ePrivacy Directive are highly likely to be replaced by an EU regulation known as the ePrivacy Regulation, which will significantly increase fines for non-compliance. In the EU and the UK, informed consent is required for the placement of a cookie or similar technologies on a user’s device and for direct electronic marketing. The GDPR also imposes conditions on obtaining valid consent, such as a prohibition on pre-checked consents and a requirement to ensure separate consents are sought for each type of cookie or similar technology. While the text of the ePrivacy Regulation is still under development, a recent European court decision and regulators’ recent guidance are driving increased attention to cookies and tracking technologies. If regulators start to enforce the strict approach in recent guidance, this could lead to substantial costs, require significant systems changes, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, divert the attention of our technology personnel, adversely affect our margins, increase costs and subject us to additional liabilities.
Future taxation on the use of the internet or e-commerce transactions could also be imposed. Existing or future regulation or taxation could increase our operating expenses and expose us to significant liabilities. To the extent any such regulations require us to take actions that negatively impact us, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The price of New Owlet common stock and warrants may be volatile.
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the price of New Owlet common stock, as well as New Owlet warrants, may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or future prospects;
our announcements or our competitors’ announcements of new products and services;
the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
69

TABLE OF CONTENTS

developments regarding our patents or proprietary rights or those of our competitors;
ongoing legal proceedings;
commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the combined company;
our inability to raise additional capital as needed;
changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of new or additional debt;
the volume of shares of New Owlet common stock available for public sale;
additions and departures of key personnel;
concerns or allegations as to the safety or efficacy of our products and services;
sales of stock by us or members of our management team, our board of directors or certain significant stockholders;
changes in stock market analyst recommendations or earnings estimates regarding our stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally; and
changes in financial markets or general economic conditions, including the effects of recession or slow economic growth in the U.S. and abroad, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations, corruption, political instability, acts of war or terrorism, and the COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises.
These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of New Owlet common stock and warrants regardless of the operating performance of New Owlet.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding our stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no or few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our stock would be negatively impacted. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us issue an adverse or misleading opinion regarding us, our business model, our intellectual property or our stock performance, or if our operating results fail to meet the expectations of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Concentration of ownership among our existing directors, executive officers and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Owlet directors and executive officers and their affiliates, in the aggregate, will beneficially own approximately 25.3% of our outstanding stock, assuming no redemptions by holders of Sandbridge’s public shares, or 26.7% of our outstanding stock, assuming maximum redemptions by holders of Sandbridge’s public shares as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Subject to any fiduciary duties owed to our other stockholders under Delaware law, these stockholders may be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, and will have some control over our management and policies. Some of these persons or entities may have interests that are different from yours. For example, these stockholders may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree or which are not in your best interests. The concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of us, or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce the price of our stock.
In addition, these stockholders could use their voting influence to maintain our existing management and directors in office or support or reject other management and Board proposals that are subject to stockholder approval, such as amendments to our employee stock plans and approvals of significant financing transactions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may acquire other businesses or form other joint ventures or make investments in other companies or technologies that could negatively affect our operating results, dilute our stockholders’ ownership, increase our debt or cause us to incur significant expense.
We may pursue acquisitions of businesses and assets. We also may pursue strategic alliances and additional joint ventures that leverage our technology and industry experience to expand our offerings or distribution. We have no experience with acquiring other companies and limited experience with forming strategic partnerships. We may not be able to find suitable partners or acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete such transactions on favorable terms, if at all. If we make any acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into our existing business, and we could assume unknown or contingent liabilities. Any future acquisitions also could result in the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or future write-offs of intangible assets or goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Integration of an acquired company also may disrupt ongoing operations and require management resources that we would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. We may experience losses related to investments in other companies, which could have a material negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, technology license, strategic alliance or joint venture. To finance any acquisitions or joint ventures, we may choose to issue shares of our common stock as consideration, which would dilute the ownership of our stockholders. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all. If the price of our common stock is low or volatile, we may not be able to acquire other companies or fund a joint venture project using our stock as consideration.
We also expect to continue to carry out internal strategic initiatives that we believe are necessary to grow our revenues and expand our business, both in the U.S. and abroad. For example, we have continued to invest in international expansion programs designed to increase our worldwide presence and take advantage of market expansion opportunities around the world. Although we believe our investments in these initiatives continue to be in the long-term best interests of Owlet and our stockholders, there are no assurances that such initiatives will yield favorable results for us. Accordingly, if these initiatives are not successful, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If these risks materialize, our stock price could be materially adversely affected. Any difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses or unexpected penalties, liabilities or asset impairments in connection with such acquisitions or investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, under certain circumstances, our loan and security agreement and any future debt or preferred securities or future debt agreements we may enter may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
Our corporate documents and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, provisions in our Proposed Charter and New Owlet Bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving us that our stockholders may consider favorable. For example, our Proposed Charter and New Owlet Bylaws, if approved by Sandbridge’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, will authorize our Board to issue up to 100 million shares of New Owlet Preferred Stock. As a result, without further stockholder approval, our Board will have the authority to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock, including pursuant to a stockholder rights plan. With these rights, preferred stockholders could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us. In addition, our Proposed Charter and New Owlet Bylaws, subject to the Stockholders Agreement, will provide for a staggered Board, whereby directors serve for three-year terms, with one-third of the directors coming up for reelection each year. A staggered Board will make it more difficult for a third-party to obtain control of our Board through a proxy contest, which may be a necessary step in an acquisition of us that is not favored by our Board.
71

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We will also be subject to anti-takeover provisions under the DGCL. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third-party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of us. For purposes of these provisions, an “interested stockholder” generally means someone owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of ours that owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in the DGCL.
The New Owlet Bylaws will provide that the state or federal courts located within the State of Delaware are the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the New Owlet Bylaws will provide that the state or federal courts located within the State of Delaware are the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or stockholders to our stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the New Owlet Bylaws, or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, this choice of forum provision does not apply to (a) actions in which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware concludes that an indispensable party is not subject to the jurisdiction of Delaware courts, or (b) actions in which a federal court has assumed exclusive jurisdiction to a proceeding. This choice of forum provision is not intended to apply to any actions brought under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The New Owlet Bylaws will also provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees or stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees or stockholders.
Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision in our second amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risk Factors Relating to Sandbridge and the Business Combination
Directors and officers of Sandbridge have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.
When considering the recommendation of the Sandbridge Board that the Sandbridge stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination, Sandbridge stockholders should be aware that Sandbridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Sandbridge stockholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Sandbridge to pay its tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay
72

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 Sandbridge’s remaining stockholders and Sandbridge’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to Sandbridge’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to our founder shares held by our Sponsor if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share and, in August 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. Goss. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will remain outstanding, subject to certain restrictions on transfer. However, if our Sponsor acquires public shares in and after the initial public offering, such public shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if Sandbridge fails to complete a business combination.
In connection with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020, for one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, then there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to Sandbridge’s warrants, which will expire worthless.
Our initial stockholders, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. All of the founder shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination. Our initial stockholders have entered into a letter agreement with us pursuant to which they have agreed to vote any shares owed by them in favor of a proposed initial business combination and to waive their redemption rights in respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination and certain amendments to our Current Charter.
In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which such PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase, at the Closing immediately following the Effective Time, an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share.
Certain of our officers and directors are expected to continue to serve as directors of New Owlet after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Owlet Board determines to pay to its directors.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the 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 (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) 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 $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of Sandbridge’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The existence of financial and personal interests of the Sandbridge officers or directors and entities affiliated with them may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination. You should consider these interests when evaluating the Business Combination and the recommendation of the Sandbridge Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals to be presented to the stockholders.
Certain officers and directors of Sandbridge also participate in arrangements that may provide them with other interests in the Business Combination that are different from yours.
Certain officers and directors of Sandbridge also participate in arrangements that may provide them with other interests in the Business Combination that are different from yours. Sandbridge’s officers and directors collectively have made an aggregate average investment per founder share of $0.004. Our officers and directors will lose their entire investment if a business combination is not approved during the period provided in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The officers’ and directors’ significantly lower investment per share in their founder shares may result in a difference between a transaction that increases the value of the officers’ and directors’ investment and a transaction that increases the value of the public stockholders’ investment. In addition, a transaction that increases the value of the public stockholders’ investment will increase the investments of our officers and directors because of the comparatively low purchase price at which their initial investment was made.
Sandbridge’s initial stockholders and its other directors and officers at the time of its initial public offering have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.
Our initial stockholders and our other directors and officers as of the time of our initial public offering have agreed, pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote their founder shares and any public shares held by them in favor of the initial business combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor, our other initial stockholders and our other directors and officers and the PIMCO private funds own approximately 27% of our issued and outstanding shares. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval for the Business Combination will be received than would be the case if our initial stockholders had agreed to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public stockholders.
Neither the Sandbridge Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.
Neither the Sandbridge Board nor any committee thereof obtained an opinion from an independent investment bank that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or from an independent accounting firm that the price that Sandbridge is paying for Owlet is fair to Sandbridge from a financial point of view. Neither the Sandbridge Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the Sandbridge Board and management conducted due diligence on Owlet and researched the industry in which Owlet operates. The Sandbridge Board reviewed, among other things, financial due diligence materials prepared by Sandbridge management and professional advisors, including trading multiples and other valuation metrics for comparable companies, certain financial projections of Owlet and the various factors that may cause the company to miss or exceed its projections and the financial terms set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of its stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Sandbridge Board and management in valuing Owlet, and the Sandbridge Board and management may not have properly valued Owlet’s business. The lack of a third-party valuation may also lead an increased number of stockholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination.
Sandbridge’s initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares or public warrants from public stockholders, which may influence a vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our common stock.
Sandbridge’s initial stockholders, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or not redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such transaction 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) increase the likelihood that the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount is satisfied. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by Sandbridge’s initial stockholders for nominal value. 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. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions.
Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on public shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares it owns, either prior to or immediately after the Special Meeting.
If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be approved in circumstances where such approval could not otherwise be obtained. Purchases of public shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our common stock or warrants may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.
New Owlet’s securities may not be listed on a national securities exchange after the Business Combination, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in New Owlet’s securities and subject New Owlet to additional trading restrictions.
Sandbridge intends to apply to have the New Owlet Class A common stock listed on the NYSE after the Closing of the Business Combination. New Owlet will be required to meet the initial listing requirements to be listed, including having a minimum number of public stockholders. New Owlet may not be able to meet those initial listing requirements. Even if New Owlet’s securities are so listed, New Owlet may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future. If New Owlet fails to meet the initial listing requirements and the NYSE does not list its securities and the related closing condition is waived by the parties, New Owlet could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
a limited availability of market quotations for its securities;
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the company; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
In addition, even if New Owlet’s securities are listed as of the Closing of the Business Combination, New Owlet may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.
Sandbridge’s outstanding warrants will become exercisable for New Owlet Class A common stock upon the later of the first anniversary of Sandbridge’s initial public offering and the 30th day following the Business Combination. The exercise of these outstanding warrants will increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.
Following the Business Combination, there will be 11,500,000 outstanding public warrants to purchase 11,500,000 shares of New Owlet common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, which warrants will become exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020. In addition, subject to certain contractual restrictions on transfer, there will be 6,600,000 private placement warrants outstanding exercisable for 6,600,000 shares of New Owlet common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. In certain circumstances, the public warrants and private placement warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of New Owlet common stock will be issued, which will result in
75

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dilution to the holders of New Owlet common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of New Owlet common stock, the impact of which is increased as the value of our stock price increases.
We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.
New Owlet will have the ability to redeem outstanding public warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last report sales price of New Owlet common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the warrants become redeemable by New Owlet, New Owlet may exercise the redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force holders to (i) exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) sell the warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold onto such warrants or (iii) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. None of the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.
In addition, New Owlet may redeem your warrants after they become exercisable for a number of shares of New Owlet common stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of New Owlet common stock. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of our common stock had your warrants remained outstanding.
Even if we consummate the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, which is the later of the first anniversary of our initial public offering and the 30th day following the Closing of the Business Combination, and they may expire worthless.
The exercise price for the outstanding warrants is $11.50 per share of New Owlet Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that the warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable, which is the later of the first anniversary of our initial public offering and the 30th day following the Closing of the Business Combination, and prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.
Our stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of shares of New Owlet common stock in the Transactions. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of New Owlet.
Assuming that no public stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, Sandbridge’s public stockholders will hold 23,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock, or approximately 17.6% of the outstanding Class A common stock representing 17.6% of the voting power following the Business Combination.
There are currently outstanding an aggregate of 18,100,000 warrants to acquire shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock, which comprise 6,600,000 private placement warrants held by Sandbridge’s Sponsor at the time of Sandbridge’s initial public offering and 11,500,000 public warrants. Each of Sandbridge’s outstanding whole warrants is exercisable commencing the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020, for one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock in accordance with its terms, subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, if we assume that each outstanding whole warrant is exercised and one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock is issued as a result of such exercise, with payment of the exercise price of $11.50 per share, our fully diluted capital stock would increase by a total of 18,100,000 shares, with approximately $208.15 million paid to us to exercise the warrants.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Although Sandbridge has conducted due diligence on Owlet and New Owlet, Sandbridge cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in its business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Sandbridge’s or New Owlet’s control will not later arise. As a result, New Owlet may incur additional costs and expenses and may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if the 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 New Owlet reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New Owlet or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause New Owlet to violate net worth or other covenants to which it may be subject. Accordingly, any Sandbridge stockholders or warrant holders could suffer a reduction in the value of their securities.
If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.
If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of Sandbridge’s securities prior to the Closing may decline. The market values of Sandbridge’s securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Business Combination Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which Sandbridge stockholders vote on the Business Combination. The number of shares to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is based on an estimated Exchange Ratio of 2.050 shares of New Owlet common stock per share of Owlet common stock and will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market price of Sandbridge Class A common stock.
In addition, following the release of cash from the Trust Account in connection with the Closing, fluctuations in the price of New Owlet’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a liquid public market for the stock of Owlet and trading in the shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Owlet in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of New Owlet securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and New Owlet securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.
Factors affecting the trading price of New Owlet’s securities may include:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Owlet’s quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to New Owlet;
changes in the market’s expectations about New Owlet’s operating results;
success of competitors;
operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Owlet or the industry in which New Owlet operates in general;
operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New Owlet;
ability to market existing, new and next generation products and services on a timely basis;
77

TABLE OF CONTENTS

changes in laws and regulations affecting New Owlet’s business or of the regulatory status of New Owlet’s products;
commencement of, or involvement in, litigation or regulatory enforcement action involving New Owlet;
changes in New Owlet’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
the volume of shares of New Owlet Class A common stock available for public sale;
any major change in New Owlet’s board or management or to key personnel;
sales of substantial amounts of New Owlet Class A common stock by our or New Owlet’s directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;
any material and adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the markets and the broader global economy; and
general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.
Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general, and the NYSE specifically, have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your securities at or above the price at which it was acquired. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Owlet could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Sandbridge may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits that could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into business combination agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Sandbridge’s liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Business Combination, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed, which may adversely affect Sandbridge or Owlet or, if the Business Combination is completed but delayed, New Owlet’s business, financial position and results of operations.
Citigroup has a financial interest in Sandbridge completing a business combination that will result in the payment of the deferred underwriting commission to the underwriters of the initial public offering, including Citigroup.
Sandbridge consummated its initial public offering on September 17, 2020. Citigroup acted as a joint book-running manager of the initial public offering and as a representative of the underwriters of the initial public offering. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the underwriters of the initial public offering are entitled to $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting commission, of which Citigroup is entitled to $3,823,750. The underwriters of the initial public offering have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event Sandbridge does not complete an initial business combination within the Combination Period. Accordingly, if the Business Combination with Owlet, or any other initial business combination, is not consummated within the Combination Period and Sandbridge is therefore required to be liquidated, the underwriters of the initial public offering, including Citigroup, will not receive any of the deferred underwriting commission and such funds will be returned to Sandbridge’s public shareholders upon its liquidation. Citi is also entitled to fee of 1.625% of the gross proceeds upon consummation of the PIPE Investment, as compensation for its role as placement agent for the PIPE Investment. Based on an anticipated PIPE Investment of $130 million, Citigroup’s fee will be $2,112,500.
Citigroup is engaged by Sandbridge as capital markets advisor to Sandbridge. Sandbridge decided to retain Citigroup as Sandbridge’s capital markets advisor based primarily on (i) Citigroup’s extensive knowledge, strong
78

TABLE OF CONTENTS

market position and positive reputation in equity capital markets (and particularly with respect to special purpose acquisition company vehicles), (ii) Citigroup’s experienced and capable investment banking team and (iii) Citigroup’s existing relationship with Sandbridge, including Citigroup’s previous role acting as joint book-running manager of Sandbridge’s initial public offering.
In connection with the Business Combination, Citigroup conducted a review of information provided to it by Sandbridge, Sponsor and Owlet, including financial forecasts and estimates in relation to Owlet. Citigroup presented discussion materials to Sandbridge’s Board for the information and assistance of the Sandbridge Board in connection with the Sandbridge Board’s consideration of the Business Combination. Citigroup did not make, and neither its review of the information provided to it by Sandbridge, Sponsor and Owlet nor the discussion with Sandbridge’s Board constituted, a recommendation to the Sandbridge Board with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter. The Sandbridge Board, in recommending the Business Combination and in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Agreement, considered a number of factors, including the discussion materials presented to them by Citigroup.
In considering approval of the Business Combination, the stockholders of Sandbridge and Owlet should consider the role of Citigroup in light of its financial interests in the Business Combination.
Following the Closing of the Business Combination, Sandbridge will not have any right to make damage claims against Owlet or Owlet’s stockholders for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Owlet in the Business Combination Agreement.
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained therein terminate at the Effective Time, except for those covenants that by their terms expressly contemplate performance after the Effective Time as well as the representations and warranties of Owlet and Sandbridge regarding investigation and exclusivity of representations and warranties. Accordingly, no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, agreement or covenant, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy may be brought with respect thereto after the Effective Time, except for covenants to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time. As a result, Sandbridge will have no remedy available to it if the Business Combination is consummated and it is later revealed that, at the time of the Business Combination, there was a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Owlet prior to the Effective Time.
Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of key personnel of New Owlet, some of whom may be from Sandbridge and Owlet, and some of whom may join New Owlet following the Business Combination. The loss of key personnel or the hiring of ineffective personnel after the Business Combination could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Owlet.
Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. Although some of Sandbridge’s key personnel may remain with New Owlet in advisory positions following the Business Combination, we expect Owlet’s current management to remain in place. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in integrating and retaining such key personnel, or in identifying and recruiting additional key individuals we determine may be necessary following the Business Combination.
New Owlet’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New Owlet’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of New Owlet’s future operating or financial performance and New Owlet’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from our pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. Additionally, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the unaudited transaction accounting adjustments presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of

the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and could impact the operating results of New Owlet following the Business Combination due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.
There can be no assurance that the New Owlet Class A common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on the NYSE, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE.
New Owlet Class A common stock and warrants are expected to be listed on the NYSE following the Business Combination. New Owlet’s continued eligibility for listing may depend on the number of our shares that are redeemed. If, after the Business Combination, the NYSE delists New Owlet Class A common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
a determination that New Owlet Class A common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in New Owlet Class A common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New Owlet common stock;
a limited amount of analyst coverage; and
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
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 stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial public offering).
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 (other than 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, 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 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. 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 are unable to complete the Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the 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 ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations to us and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of Sandbridge and, therefore, the Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. We have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such
80

TABLE OF CONTENTS

event, we may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per public share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders.
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 discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share and (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 the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay franchise and income taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, 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. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in certain instances. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.
If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, 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, 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 would be reduced.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of the Sandbridge Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing members of the Sandbridge Board and us to claims of punitive damages.
The Current Charter states that we must complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022. If we have not completed an initial business combination by then (or such later date as our stockholders may approve in accordance with the Current Charter), we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our tax obligations (less 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 our remaining stockholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our public stockholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and our warrants will expire worthless.
If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received
81

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 stockholders. In addition, the Sandbridge Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages.
Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.
Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares. 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 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a 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. However, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following the 24th month from the closing of our initial public offering in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures.
Because we do not intend to comply 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 10 years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations are 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, consultants, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, 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 likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. 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 beyond the third anniversary of such date. 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 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, 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 our stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.
Holders of public shares are not required to affirmatively vote against the Business Combination Proposal in order to exercise their rights to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. In order to exercise their redemption rights, they are required to submit a request in writing and deliver their stock (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent by      , New York City time, on      , 2021. Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The ability of Sandbridge stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares could increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that stockholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their stock.
At the time we entered into the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements for the Business Combination, we did not know how many stockholders would exercise their redemption rights, and therefore we structured the Business Combination based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The Business Combination Agreement requires us to have at least $140 million of aggregate cash proceeds available for release to Sandbridge from the Trust Account in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (after giving effect to any redemptions of public shares, if any, and Sandbridge Transaction Expenses). The above considerations may limit our ability to complete the Business Combination or optimize our capital structure.
If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the Sandbridge Class A common stock, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of Sandbridge Class A common stock.
A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Sandbridge Class A common stock, or the “Excess Shares,” without Sandbridge’s prior consent. However, the stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against the Business Combination will not be restricted. Your inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce your influence over Sandbridge’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in Sandbridge if you sell such Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such Excess Shares if Sandbridge consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% of the Class A common stock and, in order to dispose of such Excess Shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.
Sandbridge may complete the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of Sandbridge’s stockholders do not agree.
Sandbridge may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial majority of public stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to the Sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates. Sandbridge will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the Special Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Sandbridge common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.
The Business Combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.
The completion of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions. The completion of the Business Combination is subject to risks, including the risk that approval of the Business Combination by Sandbridge stockholders is not obtained or that there are not sufficient funds in the Trust Account, in each case subject to certain terms specified in the Business Combination Agreement (as described under “The Business Combination Agreement – Conditions to Closing”), or that other Closing conditions are not satisfied. If Sandbridge does not complete the Business Combination, Sandbridge could be subject to several risks, including:
the parties may be liable for damages to one another under the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement;
83

TABLE OF CONTENTS

negative reactions from the financial markets, including declines in the price of Sandbridge Class A common stock due to the fact that current prices may reflect a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed; and
the attention of our management will have been diverted to the Business Combination rather than the pursuit of other opportunities in respect of an initial business combination.
The exercise of Sandbridge’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Sandbridge’s stockholders’ best interest.
In the period leading up to the Closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Sandbridge to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Owlet or to waive rights that Sandbridge is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Owlet’s business, a request by Owlet to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would entitle Sandbridge to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Sandbridge’s discretion, acting through the Sandbridge Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors or officers described in the preceding risk factors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what he or they may believe is best for Sandbridge and its stockholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. For example, members of the Sandbridge Board hold founders shares, which were transferred to them by our Sponsor in August 2020 and which our Sponsor purchased for approximately $0.004 per share prior to our initial public offering. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Sandbridge does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Sandbridge’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, Sandbridge will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Sandbridge’s stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.
Sandbridge may waive one or more of the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions without stockholder approval.
Sandbridge may determine to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to its obligation to consummate the Transactions, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If Sandbridge waives the satisfaction of a material condition to the consummation of the Transactions, Sandbridge will evaluate the appropriate facts and circumstances at that time and re-solicit stockholder approvals of the Business Combination Proposal if required to do so by applicable law or the rules of the NYSE. In some cases, if the Sandbridge Board determines that such waiver or its effect on Sandbridge’s stockholders does not rise to the level of materiality that would require re-solicitation of proxies pursuant to applicable law or the rules of the NYSE, the consequence of such waiver would be that Sandbridge would complete the Transactions without seeking further stockholder approval.
For example, it is a condition to Sandbridge’s obligations to close the Business Combination that Owlet will have performed and complied in all material respects with the covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with by Owlet under the Business Combination Agreement. However, if the Sandbridge Board determines that a given breach by Owlet of this obligation does not rise to the level of materiality that would require re-solicitation of proxies, then the Sandbridge Board may elect to waive that condition and close the Business Combination. Any determination to waive any condition to its obligations to consummate the Transactions or as to re-soliciting Sandbridge stockholder approval or amending the proxy statement/prospectus as a result of a waiver will be made by the Sandbridge Board at the time of such waiver based on the facts and circumstances as they exist at that time.

Voting Your Shares
Sandbridge stockholders may vote electronically at the Special Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SBG2021SM or by proxy. To participate in the Special Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or instructions that accompanied your proxy materials, if applicable, or to obtain a proxy form from your broker, bank or other nominee. The Special Meeting webcast will begin promptly at     a.m., New York City time. Sandbridge stockholders are encouraged to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time. Online check-in will begin at     a.m., New York City time, and Sandbridge stockholders should allow ample time for the check-in procedures. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting or during the meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting login page. Sandbridge recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting. If you vote by proxy, you may change your vote by submitting a later dated proxy before the deadline or by voting electronically at the Special Meeting.
If your shares of Sandbridge common stock are owned directly in your name with the Transfer Agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “stockholder of record.” If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee or intermediary, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are considered a “non-record (beneficial) stockholder.”
If you are a Sandbridge stockholder of record you may use the enclosed proxy card to tell the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. In addition, you may also submit your proxy before the Special Meeting by visiting http://www.proxyvote.com, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until    p.m. New York City time on    , 2021 (have your proxy card in hand when you visit the website) or by calling toll-free (within the U.S. or Canada) 1-800-690-6903 until 11:59 p.m. New York City time on    , 2021 (have your proxy card in hand when you call). The named proxies will vote all shares at the meeting for which
88

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not mark your card to tell the proxies how to vote, your shares will be voted “FOR” the proposals to adopt the Business Combination Agreement and the other proposals presented at the Special Meeting.
Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum if you vote:
by submitting a properly executed proxy card or voting instruction form by mail, by Internet or by phone; or
electronically at the Special Meeting.
Abstentions will be counted for determining whether a quorum is present for the Special Meeting.
Voting instructions are printed on the proxy card or voting information form you received. Either method of submitting a proxy will enable your shares to be represented and voted at the Special Meeting.
Voting Shares Held in Street Name
If your shares of Sandbridge common stock are held in an account through a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary, you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement/prospectus. Your broker, bank or other nominee may have an earlier deadline by which you must provide instructions to it as to how to vote your Sandbridge common stock, so you should read carefully the materials provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary.
If you do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which your bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. In these cases, the bank, broker or other nominee or intermediary will not be able to vote your shares on those matters for which specific authorization is required. Brokers do not generally have discretionary authority to vote on any of the proposals.
Broker non-votes are shares held by a broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary that are present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, but with respect to which the broker, bank or other nominee or intermediary is not instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares how to vote on a particular proposal and the broker does not generally have voting power on such proposal. Because brokers, banks and other nominees or intermediaries do not generally have discretionary voting with respect to any of the proposals, if a beneficial owner of Sandbridge common stock held in “street name” does not give voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee for any proposal, then those shares will not be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting.
Alternatively, you may vote by telephone or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank or other nominee. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the Special Meeting will need the 16-digit control number included on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials, if applicable, or to obtain a proxy form from your broker, bank or other nominee.
Revoking Your Proxy
If you are a Sandbridge stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting by:
timely delivering a written revocation letter to the Corporate Secretary of Sandbridge;
signing and returning by mail a proxy card with a later date so that it is received prior to the Special Meeting; or
attending the Special Meeting and voting electronically by visiting the website established for that purpose at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SBG2021SM and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a proxy.
If you are a non-record (beneficial) Sandbridge stockholder, you should follow the instructions of your bank, broker or other nominee regarding the revocation of proxies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Stock Ownership and Voting by Sandbridge’s Officers and Directors
As of    , 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, the Sandbridge directors and officers and their affiliates had the right to vote approximately            shares of Sandbridge common stock, representing approximately    % of the shares of Sandbridge common stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Sandbridge’s initial stockholders (consisting of the Sponsor, Domenico De Sole, Ramez Toubassy, and Michael Goss) and our other directors and officers at the time of our initial public offering have entered into a letter agreement with us to vote “FOR” the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, including the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, “FOR” the approval of the NYSE Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the ESPP Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal, in accordance with the recommendation of the Sandbridge Board.
Redemption Rights
Public stockholders may seek to redeem the public shares that they hold, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination or do not vote at the Special Meeting. Any public stockholder may request redemption of their public shares for a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. If a holder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to 15% or more of the shares of the public shares. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the public shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.
Sandbridge’s initial stockholders will not have redemption rights with respect to any shares of Sandbridge common stock owned by them, directly or indirectly.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any public shares to be redeemed only if you:
(a) hold public shares or (b) hold public shares through units and you elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; and
prior to           , New York City time, on        , 2021, (a) submit a written request, including the legal name, telephone number and address of the beneficial owner of the shares for which redemption is requested, to the Transfer Agent that Sandbridge redeem your public shares for cash and (b) deliver your public shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through the DTC.
If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Public shares that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this 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 $80 and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming public stockholder. In the event the proposed Business Combination is not consummated, this may result in an additional cost to stockholders for the return of their public shares.
Holders of units must elect to separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If holders hold their units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must directly notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if a holder holds units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent, and instruct them to do so.
90

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any request to redeem public shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for submitting redemption requests and thereafter, with Sandbridge’s consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a holder of a public share delivers its certificate in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that Sandbridge instruct the Transfer Agent to return the certificate (physically or electronically). The holder can make such request by contacting the Transfer Agent, at the address or email address listed in this proxy statement/prospectus.
If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then public stockholders who elected to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares. In such case, Sandbridge will promptly return any public shares previously delivered by public holders.
For illustrative purposes, the cash held in the Trust Account on December 31, 2020 was $230.0 million, or approximately $10 per public share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, public stockholders should verify the market price of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Sandbridge Class A common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. Sandbridge cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their Sandbridge Class A common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.
If a public stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed public shares for cash and will no longer own those public shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for your public shares only if you properly exercise your right to redeem your public shares and deliver your shares of Sandbridge common stock (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent, in each case prior to          , New York City time, on         , 2021, the deadline for submitting redemption requests, and the Business Combination is consummated.
Immediately following the Closing, New Owlet will pay public stockholders who properly exercised their redemption rights in respect of their public shares.
Appraisal Rights
Neither Sandbridge stockholders nor Sandbridge warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the DGCL.
Potential Purchases of Shares and/or Public Warrants
At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sandbridge or its securities, the initial stockholders, Owlet and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or not redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such transaction 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) increase the likelihood that the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition is satisfied. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by Sandbridge’s initial stockholders for nominal value.
Costs of Solicitation
Sandbridge will bear the cost of soliciting proxies from Sandbridge stockholders.
Sandbridge will solicit proxies by mail. In addition, the directors, officers and employees of Sandbridge may solicit proxies from Sandbridge stockholders by telephone, electronic communication, or in person, but will not receive any additional compensation for their services. Sandbridge will make arrangements with brokerage
91

TABLE OF CONTENTS

houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of shares of Sandbridge common stock for their expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Sandbridge common stock held of record by those persons and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such proxy solicitation materials.
Sandbridge has engaged a professional proxy solicitation firm, Okapi, to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. Sandbridge has agreed to pay Okapi a fee for such services, which it expects will be approximately $20,000. In addition, Sandbridge will reimburse Okapi for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Okapi and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.
Other Business
Sandbridge is not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, the proxies will have discretion to vote or act on those matters according to their best judgment and they intend to vote the shares as the Sandbridge Board may recommend.
Attendance
Only Sandbridge stockholders on the record date or persons holding a written proxy for any stockholder or account of Sandbridge as of the record date may attend the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SBG2021SM. You will not be able to attend the Special Meeting physically.

The Special Meeting webcast will begin promptly at     a.m., New York City time. Sandbridge stockholders are encouraged to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time.

The Sandbridge stockholders are being asked to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. All Sandbridge stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.
Sandbridge may consummate the Business Combination only if all of the Required Transaction Proposals are approved by the Sandbridge stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
Structure of the Business Combination
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet, with Owlet surviving the Merger. Upon consummation of the foregoing transactions, Owlet will be the wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandbridge, which will be known as Owlet, Inc. and referred to herein as New Owlet. In addition, New Owlet will amend and restate the Current Charter to be the Proposed Charter, as described in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Description of New Owlet Securities.”
Consideration to the Owlet Stockholders
As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock (as defined herein) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is not a Cash Elected Option and is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; (iii) subject to certain limitations, each Cash Elected Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration; and (iv) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the Owlet Restricted Stock.
The PIPE Financing
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, Sandbridge agreed to issue and sell in private placements an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors for $10.00 per share immediately prior to the Closing.
Background of the Business Combination
The terms of the Business Combination are the result of negotiations between the representatives of Sandbridge and Owlet. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting Business Combination.
Sandbridge is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 23, 2020 and 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. Our intention was to utilize our management team’s global network of relationships with brand operators and owners to identify and execute an initial business combination.
On June 26, 2020, prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, our Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 founder shares of our Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or
93

TABLE OF CONTENTS

approximately $0.004 per share. In August 2020, our Sponsor transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy, and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. Goss, for a total of 135,000 founder shares.
On September 17, 2020, we consummated our initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-half (1/2) of one warrant. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $230,000,000. In connection with the consummation of our initial public offering, including the underwriters’ elections to exercise their over-allotment option in relation thereto, we consummated private sales of an aggregate of 6,600,000 private placement warrants to our Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of approximately $6,600,000.
Prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, neither Sandbridge nor anyone on its behalf engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with Sandbridge.
After our initial public offering, our directors and officers, at the direction of the board of directors, commenced an active search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in our initial business combination.
In evaluating potential businesses and assets to acquire, Sandbridge, together with its advisory partner Citigroup, generally surveyed the landscape of potential acquisition opportunities based on its knowledge of, and familiarity with, the M&A marketplace. In the prospectus for our initial public offering, we identified general criteria and guidelines we believed would be important in evaluating a prospective target, including, businesses that we believe (i) have a thematically aligned modern business model, (ii) are a beneficiary of accelerated digital and omni-channel transformation, (iii) have an importantly differentiated offering, (iv) have a strong enduring brand positioned for growth, (v) have a solid leadership team that can benefit from our team’s knowledge of the consumer sector and proven track record of operational expertise, and (vi) offer an attractive risk/reward return opportunity for our stockholders.
Representatives of Sandbridge were contacted by, and representatives of Sandbridge contacted, numerous individuals, financial advisors and other entities who offered to present ideas for business combination opportunities. Sandbridge was contacted by a variety of sources, including over 10 investment banks in addition to direct contacts with founders of businesses focused on consumer end-markets, tech-enabled consumer platforms, luxury brands, and direct-to-consumer platforms, among many others.
Sandbridge considered businesses that it believed demonstrated both current robust financial performance as well as the opportunity for significant long-term growth with a distinct competitive advantage within a large addressable market. In the process that led to identifying Owlet as an attractive investment opportunity, Sandbridge’s management team reviewed over 250 potential target businesses, evaluated over 50 potential business combination targets, and made contact with representatives of over 20 such potential combination targets to discuss the potential for a business combination transaction. Sandbridge entered into eight nondisclosure agreements and, for those potential business combination targets, Sandbridge performed financial and industry due diligence and held meetings with the management teams as the potential targets. Sandbridge delivered initial drafts of letters of intent to four companies, including Owlet. Sandbridge ultimately determined to not proceed with its other potential acquisition opportunities because Sandbridge concluded either that the target business or the terms of a potential business combination would not be suitable for Sandbridge.
The following is a brief description of the background of the negotiations between Sandbridge and Owlet and summarizes the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalogue every conversation among the parties to the Business Combination Agreement or their representatives.
On October 20, 2020, a teleconference was held between Ken Suslow, Sandbridge’s Chief Executive Officer and Lior Susan, a director of Owlet and founding partner of Eclipse, which manages an investment fund that is an investor in Owlet, to discuss the prospect of a business combination with Sandbridge. During the meeting, Mr. Susan provided Sandbridge non-confidential information regarding Owlet’s business and operations.
After the meeting on October 20, 2020, Sandbridge and Owlet exchanged multiple emails during which they discussed the next steps toward a potential transaction and the ability for Sandbridge to begin a preliminary diligence review of confidential Owlet materials.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On October 25, 2020, Sandbridge and Owlet executed a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement.
On October 27, 2020, Mr. Suslow and Mr. Susan met in person, with Richard Henry, Sandbridge’s Chief Financial Officer, Domenico De Sole, an independent director of Sandbridge, and Michael Abbott, Owlet’s President, joining virtually. Mr. Abbott shared an overview of Owlet and its performance, and the parties discussed initial diligence questions. During the meeting, Sandbridge highlighted the benefit of partnering with a global consumer platform like Sandbridge to provide access to its global network to strengthen Owlet’s brand capabilities and growth potential. Owlet and Sandbridge discussed the benefits of combining Owlet’s technology innovation with Sandbridge’s global brand expertise, and how this partnership provided a strategically more compelling long-term proposition for Owlet as compared to a typical initial public offering.
On October 27, 2020, after the meeting, Sandbridge and Owlet exchanged multiple emails discussing next steps and decided that the next step would be for Sandbridge to submit a letter of intent (“LOI”) so that the Owlet board could consider a business combination with Sandbridge, and that the Company would provide Sandbridge with more detailed due diligence.
On October 28, 2020, Sandbridge submitted a draft, non-binding letter of intent to the Owlet team. This initial draft of the LOI included that the initial enterprise valuation with respect to the Owlet business was $1.21 billion (assuming approximately $210 million of net proceeds from Sandbridge’s trust account), consistent with Sandbridge management’s evaluation of the business. The LOI stated that all terms were subject to ongoing due diligence by the parties and contemplated proposed lock-up terms, corporate governance terms and transaction consideration.
On October 29, 2020, the Sandbridge Board considered its top business combination targets, including Owlet, at its quarterly board meeting. After discussion, the Board was supportive of pursuit of the Owlet opportunity and believed that Owlet demonstrated a combination of high growth and profitability potential within a large addressable market that made Owlet a strong potential target and warranted further discussions and dialogue. On the same day, Mr. Suslow and Mr. Susan held a teleconference to negotiate various terms of the LOI and to discuss the company valuation and market positioning strategy. Sandbridge provided an illustrative valuation model to Owlet.
On October 31, 2020, Mr. Susan contacted Mr. Suslow to discuss the additional value that Sandbridge believed it and its team could bring to the transaction in the international space. Owlet indicated that it would provide Sandbridge with a counterproposal to the proposal set forth in the Sandbridge LOI.
On November 1, 2020, the Owlet team provided Mr. Suslow and Mr. Henry with a proposed revised LOI. Among the topics proposed to be changed from the Sandbridge proposal were the minimum cash closing condition, the lock-up terms and the terms of exclusivity. The term sheet also included provisions for a portion of the founder shares held by the Sponsor to be subject to an earnout.
From November 1, 2020 through November 3, 2020, representatives of Sandbridge and representatives of Owlet traded multiple revised drafts of the LOI and negotiated several points, including (i) consideration holdbacks and indemnity for breaches of representations, warranties, and covenants, (ii) the amount of the minimum cash closing condition, (iii) the inclusion of a sponsor earn-out to better align shareholder interests, (iv) the lock-up for both the Sponsor and the existing Owlet stockholders to further align shareholder interests, and (v) the length of the exclusivity period and carve-outs to the exclusivity provisions.
Sandbridge and Owlet entered into a LOI on November 3, 2020. The LOI provided for an estimated fully diluted pro forma equity valuation of Owlet of $1.288 billion (determined by taking into account (i) approximately 78% of the transaction value as rollover equity, (ii) cash and cash equivalents held by Owlet, and (iii) pro forma cash and cash equivalents to the combined company in connection with the proposed transaction, including the application of up to $210 million of expected net proceeds from Sandbridge’s trust account). The LOI provided for a minimum cash closing condition of $140 million, performance-based vesting of one-half of the founder shares held by the Sponsor, with 25% of the Sponsor’s founder shares vesting upon achievement of a $12.50 stock price threshold and 25% of such shares vesting upon achievement of a $15.00 stock price threshold and an 18-month lockup of shares issued to Owlet stockholders as well as founder shares held by the Sponsor. The LOI also included exclusivity restrictions on Sandbridge and Owlet, prohibiting them from soliciting, initiating, knowingly encouraging or entering into any agreement with third parties in connection with an alternative transaction or business combination during the exclusivity period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On November 7, 2020, Owlet granted data room access to Sandbridge; Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes”), counsel to Sandbridge; Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”), capital markets advisor to Sandbridge; and KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), which had been engaged by Sandbridge to perform financial and tax due diligence review of Owlet and its business operations.
On November 12, 2020, a management meeting was held via teleconference, where members of management from Sandbridge and Owlet, and representatives of Ropes and Latham & Watkins LLP (“Latham”), counsel to Owlet attended. During this meeting, the members of Owlet’s management team presented an investor presentation regarding Owlet and its business operations, including financial information, historic and projected revenues and profits, views on competitive positioning, market opportunity, product roadmap, and background on the Owlet management team, together with a general overview of the emerging telehealth opportunity. In addition, members of Owlet’s management team responded to questions from Sandbridge.
Throughout November 2020 and December 2020, representatives from Sandbridge and its advisors at Citigroup, KPMG and Ropes continued to review documents provided in a virtual data room opened by Owlet. In addition, during this period, Ropes sent multiple due diligence request lists to Latham and Owlet.
On November 25, 2020, Ropes provided an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Latham.
Latham provided a revised draft of the Business Combination Agreement to Ropes on December 8, 2020, along with initial drafts of the post-closing organizational documents, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Sponsor Letter Agreement. Throughout the remainder of December 2020, January 2021 and until February 15, 2021, Ropes and Latham exchanged a series of drafts of these and other documents governing the terms and conditions of the proposed business combination and held a series of telephone and video conferences to negotiate the terms of the proposed business combination.
On December 21, 2020, the Sandbridge Board met with Citigroup to discuss the proposed business combination with Owlet. The Board discussed and considered a variety of topics relating to Owlet, including market analysis, valuation and transaction terms.
In late December, Owlet and Sandbridge began to discuss with BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”) and Citigroup a proposed $75 million private placement (“PIPE”) to support incremental growth initiatives identified in the diligence process. Representatives of Sandbridge and the Company held several discussions regarding the size of the PIPE, the timing for the process of marketing the PIPE and which investors to approach. The amount of $75 million was initially selected as an appropriate size for the PIPE, to balance maximizing growth opportunities while minimizing dilution given the Company’s capital efficiency.
On December 30, 2020, Mr. Suslow met with Mr. Susan to discuss the potential transaction, including valuation, the financial model, the PIPE process, management, process and timing.
On January 5, 2021, Ropes provided Latham with an initial draft of the PIPE Subscription Agreement, and Latham provided a revised draft on January 10, 2021. Paul Hastings LLP, counsel to Citigroup and BofA (“Paul Hastings”), provided comments to the Subscription Agreement on January 16, 2021. The parties agreed on the form of the Subscription Agreement on January 19, 2021, and on January 29, 2021, the form of Subscription Agreement was made available for review by potential PIPE Investors.
Throughout early January 2021, Sandbridge and Company representatives held several discussions regarding the revised forecast model, which was finalized for PIPE meetings on January 23, 2021.
On January 17, 2021, Sandbridge entered into a letter agreement with BofA and Citigroup, engaging them as placement agents for the PIPE.
On January 19, 2021, the Board convened to discuss the Owlet progress, including key diligence findings, timing and the PIPE process. The Board unanimously approved continuing to proceed with the PIPE process and the proposed business combination.
Beginning on January 22, 2021, representatives of Citigroup and BofA, on behalf of Sandbridge, began contacting a number of potential PIPE Investors, each of whom agreed to maintain the confidentiality of the information received pursuant to customary “wall-cross” confidentiality and non-use acknowledgements, to discuss Owlet, the proposed business combination and the potential PIPE Investment, and to determine such investors’ potential interest in participating in the PIPE Investment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

From January 25, 2021 and until February 10, 2021, representatives of Sandbridge, Owlet, Citigroup and BofA participated in various virtual meetings with prospective participants in the PIPE Investment. During this period of time, Sandbridge and Owlet, together with BofA and Citigroup, collected indications of interest from PIPE investors, and Ropes and Latham negotiated the form of the Subscription Agreement with prospective PIPE Investors. On February 10, 2021, Mr. Suslow and Mr. Susan met with representatives from Citigroup and BofA to discuss considerations for increasing the size of the PIPE based on strong investor demand. On February 11, 2021, Mr. Suslow and Mr. Susan met and agreed it was in the company’s best interest to increase the size of the PIPE to $130 million in light of the numerous opportunities for the company to deploy the incremental capital into growth initiatives. On February 15, 2020, the PIPE investors executed Subscription Agreements, subject to the execution of the business combination agreement. See “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Subscription Agreements” for additional information.
On February 12, 2021, the Sandbridge Board convened to consider the proposed transaction. After discussion, the Sandbridge independent directors and entire Board each unanimously resolved to approve the proposed business combination with Owlet and the PIPE on the terms and conditions set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement. The Sandbridge Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders.
On February 15, 2021, the parties entered into the definitive Business Combination Agreement and Sandbridge entered into the Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Financing. On February 16, 2021, Sandbridge and Owlet issued a press release announcing the Business Combination.
Sandbridge Board’s Reasons for Approval of the Business Combination
Sandbridge was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Sandbridge Board sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both the Sponsor and the Sandbridge Board and management to identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses. The members of the Sandbridge Board and management have significant transactional experience, particularly in the consumer sector.
In approving the combination, the Sandbridge Board decided not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of Sandbridge have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and concluded that their experience and background, together with the experience of their representatives, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.
The Sandbridge Board considered a number of reasons pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following: Owlet’s strategic focus on building out its tech-enabled connected nursery ecosystem, its technology and data-driven competitive moat, its proprietary and highly differentiated suite of products and services, strong consumer trust and brand strength, its strong organic growth and financial performance, the experience of the management team, the prudent financial management of the business, and more generally the market opportunity across the digital health, consumer tech and high growth consumer markets. Importantly, the Sandbridge Board understood the significant partnership benefit from combining Sandbridge management’s brand experience with Owlet’s wellness capabilities. More specifically, the Sandbridge Board took into consideration the following reasons or made the following determinations, as applicable:
Owlet satisfies a number of acquisition criteria that Sandbridge had established to evaluate prospective business combination targets. The Sandbridge Board determined that Owlet satisfies a number of the criteria and guidelines that Sandbridge established at its initial public offering, including its thematically aligned modern business model, its future differentiated product offerings and technology, its organic growth potential, its experienced management team, and the potential to benefit from Sandbridge’s knowledge of the consumer sector and industry experience.
Reasonableness of Aggregate Consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to Sandbridge, including Owlet’s historical financial statements and certain unaudited prospective financial
97

TABLE OF CONTENTS

information, as well as Sandbridge’s due diligence review of the Owlet business, the Sandbridge Board considered the aggregate consideration to be paid and determined that the aggregate consideration was reasonable in light of such data and financial information.
Business and Financial Condition and Prospects. After conducting due diligence, the Sandbridge Board and Sandbridge management had knowledge of, and were familiar with, Owlet’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects. The Sandbridge Board considered the results of the due diligence review of Owlet’s business, including its plan for a comprehensive ecosystem of offerings related to baby care, its ability to enhance, extend and expand its platform, as well as the legal due diligence performed by Ropes & Gray LLP, the findings from the financial and tax due diligence performed by KPMG LLP and the financial due diligence and valuation analysis conducted by Sandbridge’s management in collaboration with its advisors.
Post-Combination Board of Directors. The Sandbridge Board considered the fact that the board of directors of New Owlet would be an independent board of directors (rather than one controlled by the former stockholders of Owlet).
Experienced, Proven and Committed Management Team. The Sandbridge Board considered the fact that New Owlet will be led by the senior management team of Owlet, which has a proven track record of operational excellence, financial performance, growth and ongoing capabilities for innovation. The Sandbridge Board also believed that the willingness of Owlet’s management team to both roll over their equity stake, as well as to agree to prohibitions on the transfer of those shares for 18 months following the consummation of the Transactions (subject to early release as to certain shares upon achievement of share price performance thresholds), reflected management’s belief in and commitment to Owlet’s continued growth following the consummation of the Transactions. For additional information, see “Management of Owlet Following the Business Combination.”
Other Alternatives. Sandbridge raised $230.0 million in September 2020 with the objective of consummating an attractive business combination. Since that time, as more fully described in “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Transactions”, Sandbridge has evaluated a number of businesses but has been most impressed by the Owlet business. The Sandbridge Board believed that, among available alternatives and based upon the Transaction’s terms and the financial analysis, that the Transactions create the best available opportunity to maximize value for Sandbridge stockholders.
Terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Related Agreements. The Sandbridge Board considered the key terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the business combination, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation and the termination provisions as well as the strong commitment by both Owlet and Sandbridge to complete the Transactions.
Independent Director Role. The Sandbridge Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with the Sponsor or its affiliates. In connection with the Transaction, Sandbridge’s independent directors, Domenico De Sole, Ramez Toubassy and Mike Goss, considered the proposed terms of the Transactions and offered guidance to members of Sandbridge’s management team as they negotiated the terms of the Transactions on Sandbridge’s behalf. Each of Sandbridge’s independent directors approved Sandbridge’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions. Ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction.
The Sandbridge Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:
Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects they could have on the combined company’s financial performance.
98

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Benefits May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.
Growth Initiatives May Not Be Achieved. The risk that the growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.
No Third-Party Valuation. The risk that Sandbridge did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with the Business Combination.
Exclusivity The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits Sandbridge from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts Sandbridge’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations.
Liquidation. The risks and costs to Sandbridge if the business combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in Sandbridge being unable to effect a business combination within the completion window and force Sandbridge to liquidate.
Stockholder Vote and Redemptions. The risk that Sandbridge’s stockholders may not support the proposed Business Combination and may not approve the proposals at the special meeting; and additionally, the risk that Sandbridge's stockholders may exercise their redemption rights in connection with the transaction.
Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Sandbridge’s control, such as (i) the approval by our stockholders of the Required Transaction Proposals being obtained; (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and related transactions by Owlet stockholders; (iii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination Agreement having expired or been terminated; (iv) Sandbridge having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) immediately after the Effective Time; (v) satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount; (vi) the truth and correctness of Owlet’s representations made in the Business Combination Agreement; (vii) Owlet’s compliance with the covenants in the Business Combination Agreement; (viii) the absence of a Company material Adverse Effect; (ix) the delivery by Owlet of certificates, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement; (x) immediately following the Effective Time, Sandbridge having satisfied any applicable continuing listing requirements of the NYSE; (xi) this proxy statement/prospectus becoming effective in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of this proxy statement/prospectus being issued by the SEC and no proceeding seeking such a stop order being threatened or initiated by the SEC and remaining pending; and (xii) no order or law issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Business Combination being in effect.
Sandbridge Stockholders Not Holding a Majority Position in Owlet The fact that Sandbridge stockholders will not hold a majority position in Owlet following the Business Combination, which may reduce the influence that Sandbridge’s current stockholders have on the management of Sandbridge.
Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.
Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.
Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the business of Owlet, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
In addition to the reasons described above, the Sandbridge Board also considered that certain of the officers and directors of Sandbridge may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Sandbridge’s stockholders. Sandbridge’s independent directors
99

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of the Sandbridge Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.
The Sandbridge Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expects Sandbridge and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighs the potentially negative reasons associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Sandbridge Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Sandbridge and its stockholders.
Certain Projected Financial Information of Owlet
Owlet does not as a matter of course make public projections as to future sales, earnings, or other results. However, the management of Owlet has prepared and provided to Sandbridge’s Board the prospective financial information set forth below (the “Projections”) in connection with its consideration of the potential business combination.
The Projections were developed by Owlet’s management team, with consideration given to the following material estimates and hypothetical assumptions:
Owlet’s planned expansion of its current product portfolio;
Owlet’s ability to obtain marketing authorization by the FDA or other regulatory authorities for products that require such authorization or clearance;
successful development of additional hardware and software products and healthcare products that leverage Owlet’s connected nursery ecosystem and increase potential customer lifetime value;
Owlet’s plans to increase its international sales, especially in continental Europe, Asia and Latin America;
an assumed growth in retailer penetration, including increasing from 3,500 retail locations to 5,000 retail locations in the United States by the end of 2022;
an assumed continued increase in gross margins driven by expected improvements in cost structure, a shift in product mix more heavily weighted towards software and telehealth offerings, and the deployment of a direct-to-consumer distribution strategy internationally; and
expected hiring plans across the company and expected operating expenses, including increases in costs due to becoming a public company.
The Projections were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure or toward complying with GAAP, the published guidelines of the SEC regarding projections or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. The Projections were prepared by Owlet. Information provided by Owlet does not constitute any representation, estimate or projection of any other party. The Projections included in this document have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Owlet’s management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the accompanying Projections and, accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. The PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP report included in this document relates to Owlet’s previously issued financial statements. It does not extend to the Projections and should not be read to do so. Furthermore, the Projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared, which was February 10, 2021. Nonetheless, a summary of the Projections is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus because the Projections were made available to Sandbridge. The inclusion of the Projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that Sandbridge, Sandbridge’s Board, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such Projections necessarily to be predictive of actual future results or to support or fail to support your decision whether to vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal. No person has made or makes any representation or warranty to any Sandbridge stockholder regarding the information included in these Projections. The Projections are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this proxy statement/prospectus are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. The Projections should not be viewed as public guidance.

While presented with numerical specificity, the Projections are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and matters specific to the businesses of Owlet, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the preparing parties’ control including, among other things, the matters described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”
The future financial results of Owlet may differ materially from those expressed in the Projections due to factors beyond either of their ability to control or predict. The Projections are not included in this proxy statement/prospectus in order to induce any Owlet stockholders to vote in favor of any of the proposals at the special meeting.
We encourage you to review the financial statements of Owlet included in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the financial information in the sections entitled “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information of Owlet”, and “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information” in this proxy statement/prospectus and to not rely on any single financial measure.
Neither Sandbridge nor Owlet or any of their respective affiliates intends to, and, except to the extent required by applicable law, each of them expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or correct the Projections to reflect circumstances existing or arising after the date such Projections were generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Projections are shown to be in error or any of the Projections otherwise would not be realized.
Regulatory Approvals
The Business Combination is subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period (or any extension thereof) applicable under the HSR Act.
Satisfaction of 80% Test
After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal – Sandbridge’s Board of Directors Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” the Sandbridge Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for its initial public offering with respect to Sandbridge’s initial business combination, including that the Business Combination had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for taxes payable and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions) at the time of execution of the Business Combination Agreement.
As of the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the balance of the funds in the trust account was approximately $230 million and 80% thereof represents approximately $184 million. The Sandbridge Board determined that Owlet’s enterprise value was $1,074 million (comprised of an equity value of $1,389 million and net cash of $315), thus satisfying the 80% test.
In reaching this determination, the Sandbridge Board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation in part on qualitative factors such as competitive positioning, product pipeline and addressable market opportunity, as well as quantitative factors such as Owlet’s historical growth rate and its potential for future growth in sales volume and revenue. In evaluating such qualitative and quantitative factors, such as competitive positioning, the Sandbridge Board relied on input from Sandbridge management based on due diligence regarding Owlet’s results and prospects, third-party market data and reports that it deemed instructive in evaluating such factors and its own analyses based on the significant experience of the members of the Sandbridge Board in valuing consumer brand companies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Sandbridge Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members and of management qualify the Sandbridge Board to conclude that the acquisition of Owlet met the 80% requirement.
Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination
In considering the recommendation of the Sandbridge Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, it should be noted that Sandbridge’s initial stockholders, including its directors and officers, have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of Sandbridge stockholders and warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:
If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less 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 our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to our founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period. Our Sponsor purchased the founder shares prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 and, in August 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Michael Goss. Upon the Closing, such founder shares will remain outstanding, subject to certain restrictions on transfer.
In connection with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable commencing on the later of 30 days following the Closing and 12 months from the closing of our initial public offering, which occurred on September 17, 2020, for one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate a business combination transaction by September 17, 2022, then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor will be worthless. The warrants held by our Sponsor had an aggregate market value of approximately $11.8 million based upon the closing price of $1.79 per public warrant on the NYSE on February 12, 2021. Upon the Closing, the private placement warrants will become 6,600,000 warrants to purchase shares of New Owlet common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain restrictions on transfer.
Our initial stockholders, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us if we do not complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period, including their initial investment in the founder shares and their at-risk capital, for which the Sponsor received 6,600,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Our initial stockholders, officers and directors own an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares, which were purchased prior to our initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share.
Certain of our officers and directors may continue to serve as directors of New Owlet after the Closing. As such, in the future they may receive cash fees, stock options or stock awards that the New Owlet Board determines to pay to its directors.
Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed to
102

TABLE OF CONTENTS

purchase, immediately prior to the Closing, an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The PIPE Investors include the PIMCO private funds and certain other investors designated by our Sponsor.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the 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 (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) 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 $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of Sandbridge’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will continue to indemnify our existing directors and officers and will maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.
Upon the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and any of their respective affiliates may be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination, and repayment of any other loans, if any, and on such terms as to be determined by Sandbridge from time to time, made by our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Directors and Executive Officers of New Owlet After the Business Combination
Subject to the occurrence of the Closing and any limitation with respect to any specific individual imposed under applicable laws and the listing requirements of the NYSE, effective as of the Closing, Sandbridge will take all actions necessary or appropriate to cause the New Owlet Board to consist of up to nine (9) directors comprised of the persons identified by Sandbridge and Owlet pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. On the Closing Date, Sandbridge shall enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to Owlet with the individuals to be elected as members of the New Owlet Board, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective immediately following the Closing.
Except as otherwise directed in writing by Owlet, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, Sandbridge will take all actions necessary or appropriate (including securing resignations or removals and making such appointments as are necessary) to cause the persons identified by Owlet to be the officers of New Owlet (and holding the same titles as held at Owlet) until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed.
After the Effective Time (a) the governing documents of Merger Sub will be the governing documents of the Surviving Company, and the name of the Surviving Company will be “Owlet, Inc.”; and (b) at the Effective Time, the directors and officers identified by Sandbridge and Owlet pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement will be the initial directors and officers of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the governing documents of the Surviving Company until such director’s or officer’s successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.
Stock Exchange Listing
Sandbridge’s units, Class A common stock and public warrants are publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbols “SBG.U”, “SBG” and “SBG WS”, respectively. Sandbridge intends to apply to list the New Owlet common stock and public warrants on the NYSE under the symbols “OWLT” and “OWLT WS”, respectively, upon the Closing of the Business Combination. New Owlet will not have units traded following the Closing of the Business Combination.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Sandbridge will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes and the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of Owlet issuing stock for the net assets of Sandbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Sandbridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
Owlet has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:
Owlet stockholders will have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;
the board of directors of the post-combination company will have up to nine members, and Owlet will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;
Owlet management will continue to hold executive management roles for the post-combination company and be responsible for the day-to-day operations;
the post-combination company will assume the Owlet name;
the post-combination company will maintain the current Owlet headquarters; and
the intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue Owlet’s current strategy of product development and market penetration.
The preponderance of evidence as described above is indicative that Owlet is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the post-combination company will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Owlet with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Owlet issuing stock for the net assets of Sandbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Sandbridge will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Vote Required for Approval
This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be approved and adopted only with the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal, but abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal.
The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the other proposals (except the Adjournment Proposal, as described below) will not be presented to the Sandbridge stockholders for a vote.
The Sponsor, Mr. De Sole, Mr. Toubassy and Mr. Goss, the PIMCO private funds, along with Sandbridge’s directors and officers as of the time of its initial public offering, have agreed to vote the founder shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. See “Related Agreements – Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.
Recommendation of the Sandbridge Board of Directors
THE SANDBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of Sandbridge’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. For instance, ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction. See “The Business Combination Proposal – Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT
Overview
We are asking our stockholders to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement, certain related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger). Sandbridge stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference, and the transactions contemplated thereby. Please see “The Business Combination Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. We urge you to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.
Because we are holding a stockholder vote on the Business Combination, we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes of shares of Sandbridge common stock present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
The Business Combination Agreement
This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.
The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates as provided for in the Business Combination Agreement. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure schedules (the “Disclosure Schedules”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the Disclosure Schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Sandbridge, the Sponsor, Owlet or any other matter.
On February 15, 2021, Sandbridge, Merger Sub and Owlet entered into the Business Combination Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the following:
(a)
on the Closing Date prior to the Effective Time, the governing documents of Sandbridge will be amended and restated and become the Proposed Charter and the New Owlet Bylaws as described in this proxy statement/prospectus and Sandbridge’s name will be changed to “Owlet, Inc.”;
(b)
on the Closing Date, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will cause a certificate of merger to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet at the Effective Time, with Owlet as the surviving corporation in the Business Combination and, after giving effect to the Merger, Owlet will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandbridge;
(c)
as a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, the governing documents of Merger Sub will be the governing documents of the surviving company;

(h)
as a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is not a Cash Elected Option and is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Subject to certain limitations, each Cash Elected Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration.
In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including the Subscription Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Sponsor Letter Agreement. See “Related Agreements” for more information.

Representations and Warranties
The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates as provided for in the Business Combination Agreement. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the Disclosure Schedules, which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the Disclosure Schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Sandbridge, the Sponsor, Owlet or any other matter.
To the extent that specific material facts exist that contradict the representations, warranties, and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement, we will provide corrective disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus. Furthermore, if subsequent information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties, and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures, our public disclosures will include any material information necessary to provide our stockholders with a materially complete understanding of the Business Combination Agreement disclosures.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
In connection with the Business Combination, Sandbridge is asking its stockholders to approve the adoption of the Proposed Charter, in the form attached hereto as Annex B. If the Business Combination and the Charter Amendment Proposal are approved, the Proposed Charter would replace the Current Charter.
The Charter Amendment Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Required Transaction Proposals. Therefore, if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Charter Amendment Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the Sandbridge stockholders. It is a condition to the completion of the Business Combination that the Charter Amendment Proposal be approved.
Comparison of Current Charter to Proposed Charter
The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Charter relative to the Current Charter. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Charter, a copy of which is included as Annex B.
change Sandbridge’s name to “Owlet, Inc.”;
increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, from 111,000,000 shares, consisting of 110,000,000 shares of common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, to 1,100,000,000 shares, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share;
to remove the provision renouncing the corporate opportunity doctrine;
to require the vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock to amend or repeal certain provisions of the Proposed Charter;
to require the vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock, rather than a simple majority, to remove a director from office;
to require the vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock to adopt, amend or repeal the Proposed Bylaws; and
eliminate certain provisions specific to Sandbridge’s status as a blank check company.
Reasons for the Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal
In the judgment of the Sandbridge Board, the Proposed Charter is necessary to address the needs of the post-combination company. In particular:
the greater number of authorized shares of capital stock is desirable for New Owlet to have sufficient shares to complete the Business Combination and have additional authorized shares for financing its business, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances and for stock dividends and stock splits; and
the provisions that relate to the operation of Sandbridge as a blank check company prior to the consummation of its initial business combination will not be applicable to New Owlet (such as the obligation to dissolve and liquidate if a business combination is not consummated in a certain period of time).
Vote Required for Approval
Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock, voting separately as a single class, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge common stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Recommendation of the Sandbridge Board of Directors
THE SANDBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Sandbridge’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. For instance, ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction. See “The Business Combination Proposal – Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE ADVISORY CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS
Overview
In connection with the Business Combination, Sandbridge is asking its stockholders to vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, proposals to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Proposed Charter. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from the Charter Amendment Proposal but, pursuant to SEC guidance, Sandbridge is required to submit these provisions to its stockholders separately for approval, allowing stockholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important governance provisions. However, the stockholder votes regarding these proposals are advisory votes, and are not binding on Sandbridge or the Sandbridge Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal). In the judgment of the Sandbridge Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of the post-combination company. Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Reasons for Approval of the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals
Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal A – Changes in Authorized Capital Stock
The Proposed Charter is intended to provide adequate authorized capital stock to (i) accommodate the issuance of shares of New Owlet Class A common stock as part of the consideration in the Business Combination and (ii) provide flexibility for future issuances of shares of New Owlet stock if determined by the New Owlet Board to be in the best interests of New Owlet after the consummation of the Business Combination without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.
Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal B – Corporate Opportunity Doctrine Waiver
The Sandbridge Board believes that the removal of the corporate opportunity doctrine provisions ensures that directors, officers and controlling stockholders may not to take advantage of opportunities beneficial to New Owlet for themselves without first disclosing the opportunity to New Owlet and giving the New Owlet Board the opportunity to pursue or decline the opportunity on behalf of New Owlet.
Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal C – Required Vote to Amend the Charter
The Sandbridge Board believes that it is important to require a supermajority vote of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares of New Owlet stock, voting together as a single class, in order to amend provisions in the Proposed Charter.
Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal D – Removal of Directors
The Sandbridge Board believes that increasing the percentage of voting power required to remove a director from office is a prudent corporate governance measure to reduce the possibility that a relatively small number of stockholders could seek to implement a sudden and opportunistic change in control of the New Owlet Board without the support of the then incumbent board of directors. These changes will enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the New Owlet Board, avoid costly takeover battles, reduce the New Owlet Board’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of the New Owlet Board to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire New Owlet.
Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal E – Required Vote to Amend the Bylaws
The Sandbridge Board believes that the supermajority voting requirement described in Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal C is appropriate to protect all stockholders of New Owlet. The Sandbridge Board is cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of shares of common stock following the Business Combination. The Sandbridge Board further believes that going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages any person seeking control of New Owlet to negotiate with the New Owlet Board to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.
Advisory Charter Amendment Proposal F – Other Changes In Connection With Adoption of the Proposed Organizational Documents
The Proposed Charter will not contain provisions related to a blank check company (including those related to operation of the trust account, winding up of Sandbridge’s operations should Sandbridge not complete a business combination by a specified date, and other such blank check-specific provisions as are present in the Current Charter) because following the consummation of the Merger, New Owlet, will not be a blank check company.
Vote Required for Approval
Approval of each of the Advisory Charter Amendment Proposals, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Recommendation of the Sandbridge Board of Directors
THE SANDBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE ADVISORY CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Sandbridge’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. For instance, ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction.

THE NYSE PROPOSAL
In connection with the Business Combination, we intend to effect the issuance of shares of New Owlet common stock to the stockholders of Owlet pursuant to the Transactions.
Why Sandbridge Needs Stockholder Approval
We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
Under Rule 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in certain circumstances, including if the number of shares of common stock to be issued to acquire a business is, or will be upon issuance, equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the Transactions will represent more than 20% of the number of shares of Sandbridge common stock outstanding before such issuance and could result in a change of control of Sandbridge. As a result, stockholder approval of the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the Transactions is required under the NYSE regulations.
In connection with the Transactions, the Company may issue (i) 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors, and (ii) an aggregate of up to 102,500,000 shares of New Owlet common stock to existing Owlet equityholders pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, in each case assuming a Closing Date of January 31, 2021.
Vote Required for Approval
If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the NYSE Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of the NYSE Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
Failure to submit a proxy at the Special Meeting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the NYSE Proposal. However, the NYSE considers abstentions as “votes cast” and, therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as votes against this proposal.
The Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the NYSE Proposal, subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding the approval of the NYSE Proposal, if the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the actions contemplated by the NYSE Proposal will not be effected.
Sandbridge’s Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote the founder shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the NYSE Proposal. See “Related Agreements – Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.

THE INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PROPOSAL
Sandbridge is asking its stockholders to approve by ordinary resolution the Owlet, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the material terms thereunder. The Sandbridge board of directors approved the 2021 Plan, prior to the Sandbridge special meeting, subject to shareholder approval at the Sandbridge special meeting. The 2021 Plan became effective as of the date it was adopted by the Sandbridge board of directors, subject to approval by the Sandbridge stockholders.
The 2021 Plan is described in more detail below. A copy of the 2021 Plan is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.
The 2021 Plan
The principal purpose of the 2021 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards. Equity awards and equity-linked compensatory opportunities are intended to motivate high levels of performance and align the interests of directors, employees and consultants with those of stockholders by giving directors, employees and consultants the perspective of an owner with an equity or equity-linked stake in our company and providing a means of recognizing their contributions to our success. The Sandbridge board of directors believes that equity awards are necessary for Owlet to remain competitive in its industry and are essential to recruiting and retaining the highly qualified employees.
Summary of the 2021 Plan
This section summarizes certain principal features of the 2021 Plan. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2021 Plan.
Eligibility and Administration
Options, restricted stock units and other stock-based and cash-based awards under the 2021 Plan may be granted to individuals who are then our officers, employees or consultants or are the officers, employees or consultants of certain of our subsidiaries. Such awards also may be granted to our directors. Only employees of our company or certain of our subsidiaries may be granted incentive stock options, or ISOs. Following the Business Combination, New Owlet is expected to have approximately    employees,    consultants and non-employee directors who will be eligible to receive awards under the 2021 Plan.
The compensation committee of our board of directors is expected to administer the 2021 Plan unless our board of directors assumes authority for administration. The 2021 Plan provides that the board or compensation committee may delegate its authority to grant awards to employees other than executive officers and certain senior executives of the company to a committee consisting of one or more members of our board of directors or one or more of our officers.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of shares to be subject to awards and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2021 Plan. The administrator is also authorized to adopt, amend or rescind rules relating to administration of the 2021 Plan. Our board of directors may at any time remove the compensation committee as the administrator and revest in itself the authority to administer the 2021 Plan.
Shares Available for Awards
Under the 2021 Plan,    shares of our common stock will be initially reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance bonus awards, performance stock unit awards, dividend equivalents, or other stock or cash based awards. The number of shares of common stock initially reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to awards under the 2021 Plan will be increased by (i) the number of shares of common stock represented by awards outstanding under the Owlet Baby Care Inc. 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended, that become available for issuance under the counting provisions described below following the effective date (up to shares in the aggregate) and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (A) 5% of the shares of common stock
134

TABLE OF CONTENTS

outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (B) such smaller number of shares of common stock as determined by our board of directors or applicable committee; provided, however, that no more than    shares of common stock may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options.
The following counting provisions will be in effect for the share reserve under the 2021 Plan:
to the extent that an award terminates, expires or lapses for any reason or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares, any shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan;
to the extent shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant, exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any award under the 2021 Plan, such tendered or withheld shares will be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan;
to the extent shares subject to stock appreciation rights are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of stock appreciation rights on exercise thereof, such shares will be available for future grants under the 2021 Plan;
the payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan; and
to the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by us or any of our subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.
The 2021 Plan also provides that the sum of the grant date fair value of all equity-based awards and the maximum that may become payable pursuant to a cash-based award to any individual for services as a non-employee director during any calendar year may not exceed $1,000,000.
Types of Awards
The 2021 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance bonus awards, performance stock units, other stock- or cash-based awards and dividend equivalents, or any combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award.
Nonstatutory Stock Options, or NSOs, provide for the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a specified price that may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment or service with us and/or subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance targets and individual performance targets established by the administrator. NSOs may be granted for any term specified by the administrator that does not exceed ten years.
Incentive Stock Options, or ISOs, will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the 2021 Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant.
Restricted Stock may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Restricted stock, typically, may be forfeited for no consideration or repurchased by us at the original purchase price if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or
135

TABLE OF CONTENTS

expire. Holders of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options, will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse, however, dividends will not be released until restrictions are removed or expire.
Restricted Stock Units may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.
Stock Appreciation Rights, or SARs, may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2021 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. SARs under the 2021 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator.
Performance Bonus Awards and Performance Stock Units are denominated in cash or shares/unit equivalents, respectively, and may be linked to one or more performance or other criteria as determined by the administrator.
Other Stock or Cash Based Awards are awards of cash, fully vested shares of our common stock and other awards valued wholly or partially by referring to, or otherwise based on, shares of our common stock. Other stock or cash based awards may be granted to participants and may also be available as a payment form in the settlement of other awards, as standalone payments and as payment in lieu of base salary, bonus, fees or other cash compensation otherwise payable to any individual who is eligible to receive awards. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of other stock or cash based awards, which may include vesting conditions based on continued service, performance and/or other conditions.
Dividend Equivalents represent the right to receive the equivalent value of dividends paid on shares of our common stock and may be granted alone or in tandem with awards other than stock options or SARs. Dividend equivalents are converted to cash or shares by such formula and such time as determined by the administrator. Cash dividends will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. In addition, dividend equivalents with respect to an award subject to vesting will either (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, not be paid or credited or (ii) be accumulated and subject to vesting to the same extent as the related award.
Any award may be granted as a performance award, meaning that the award will be subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals.
Equity Restructuring; Corporate Transactions; Change in Control
In the event of any stock dividend or other distribution, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, recapitalization, repurchase or any other corporate event affecting the number of outstanding shares of our common stock or the share price of our common stock that would require adjustments to the 2021 Plan or any awards under the 2021 Plan in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits intended to be made available thereunder, the administrator will make appropriate, proportionate adjustments to: (i) the aggregate number and type of shares subject to the 2021 Plan; (ii) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and terms and conditions of outstanding awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect to such awards); and (iii) the grant or exercise price per share of any outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan.
In the event of certain corporate transactions, including a Change in Control, the administrator may provide for the cancellation of awards for an amount in cash or other property equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise or settlement of the vested portion of the applicable award; that awards will vest and
136

TABLE OF CONTENTS

become exercisable; that awards will be assumed or substituted for, with appropriate adjustments, by the successor or a parent or subsidiary thereof; that awards will be adjusted or replaced with other rights or property; or that awards will terminate and cannot vest after the applicable event.
In the event of a Change in Control, unless the administrator elects to terminate an award in exchange for cash, rights or property or cause an award to become fully vested and exercisable prior to the Change in Control, the award will continue or be assumed and, if the successor refuses to assume or substitute for the award, the administrator shall cause the award to become fully vested and exercisable prior to the transaction and, to the extent unexercised upon the consummation of the transaction, to terminate in exchange for cash, rights or other property.
Amendment and Termination
The administrator may terminate, amend or modify the 2021 Plan at any time and from time to time. However, we must generally obtain shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule) and must obtain participant consent in certain circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an option may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price below the per share exercise price of such option on the grant date and options may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of options having a higher per share exercise price without receiving additional shareholder approval.
No incentive stock options may be granted pursuant to the 2021 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2021 Plan, and no additional annual share increases to the 2021 Plan’s aggregate share limit will occur from and after such anniversary. Any award that is outstanding on the termination date of the 2021 Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the 2021 Plan and the applicable award agreement.
Foreign Participants, Claw-back Provisions, Transferability and Participant Payments
The plan administrator may modify awards granted to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures to address differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions. All awards will be subject to any company claw-back policy as set forth in such claw-back policy or the applicable award agreement. Except as the plan administrator may determine or provide in an award agreement, awards under the 2021 Plan are generally non-transferrable, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, subject to the plan administrator’s consent, pursuant to a domestic relations order, and are generally exercisable only by the participant. With regard to tax withholding obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2021 Plan, and exercise price obligations arising in connection with the exercise of stock options under the 2021 Plan, the plan administrator may, in its discretion, accept cash, wire transfer or check, shares of common stock that meet specified conditions, a promissory note, a “market sell order,” such other consideration as the plan administrator deems suitable or any combination of the foregoing.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summary is based on an analysis of the Code as currently in effect, existing laws, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, regulations and proposed regulations, all of which are subject to change. Moreover, the following is only a summary of United States federal income tax consequences. Actual tax consequences to participants in the 2021 Plan may be either more or less favorable than those described below depending on the participants’ particular circumstances. State and local tax consequences may in some cases differ from the U.S. federal income tax consequences. The following summary of the income tax consequences in respect of the 2021 Plan is for general information only. Interested parties should consult their own advisors as to the specific tax consequences of their awards, including the applicability and effect of state, local and foreign laws.
Incentive Stock Options
No income will be recognized by a participant for United States federal income tax purposes upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option under the 2021 Plan. The basis of shares transferred to a participant upon exercise of an incentive stock option is the price paid for the shares. If the participant holds the shares for at least one year after the transfer of the shares to the participant and two years after the grant of the option, the participant generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon sale of the shares received upon exercise equal to
137

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the basis of the stock. Generally, if the shares are not held for that period, the participant will recognize ordinary income upon disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the amount paid for the shares, or if less (and if the disposition is a transaction in which loss, if any, will be recognized), the gain on disposition. Any additional gain realized by the participant upon the disposition will be a capital gain. The excess of the fair market value of shares received upon the exercise of an incentive stock option over the option price for the shares is an item of adjustment for the participant for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Therefore, although no income is recognized upon exercise of an incentive stock option, a participant may be subject to alternative minimum tax as a result of the exercise.
Nonstatutory Stock Options
No income is expected to be recognized by a participant for United States federal income tax purposes upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option. Upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the amount paid for the shares. Income recognized upon the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option will be considered compensation subject to withholding at the time the income is recognized, and, therefore, the participant’s employer must make the necessary arrangements with the participant to ensure that the amount of the tax required to be withheld is available for payment. Nonstatutory stock options are designed to provide the employer with a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant at the time of the recognition by the participant, subject to the deduction limitations described below.
Stock Appreciation Rights
There is expected to be no United States federal income tax consequences to either the participant or the employer upon the grant of SARs. Generally, the participant will recognize ordinary income subject to withholding upon the receipt of payment pursuant to SARs in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value of any common stock received. Subject to the deduction limitations described below, the employer generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount includible in the participant’s income.
Restricted Stock
If the restrictions on an award of shares of restricted stock are of a nature that the shares are both subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and are not freely transferable (within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code), the participant will not recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes at the time of the award unless the participant affirmatively elects to include the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock on the date of the award, less any amount paid for the shares, in gross income for the year of the award pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. In the absence of this election, the participant will be required to include in income for United States federal income tax purposes on the date the shares either become freely transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code), the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock on such date, less any amount paid for the shares. The employer will be entitled to a deduction at the time of income recognition to the participant in an amount equal to the amount the participant is required to include in income with respect to the shares, subject to the deduction limitations described below. If a Section 83(b) election is made within 30 days after the date the restricted stock is received, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of the receipt of the restricted stock, and the employer will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time, less the amount paid, if any, by the participant for the restricted stock. If a Section 83(b) election is made, no additional income will be recognized by the participant upon the lapse of restrictions on the restricted stock, but, if the restricted stock is subsequently forfeited, the participant may not deduct the income that was recognized pursuant to the Section 83(b) election at the time of the receipt of the restricted stock.
Dividends paid to a participant holding restricted stock before the expiration of the restriction period will be additional compensation taxable as ordinary income to the participant subject to withholding, unless the participant made an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. Subject to the deduction limitations described below, the employer generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the dividends includible in the participant’s income as compensation. If the participant has made a Section 83(b) election, the dividends will be dividend income, rather than additional compensation, to the participant.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If the restrictions on an award of restricted stock are not of a nature that the shares are both subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not freely transferable, within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code, the participant will recognize ordinary income for United States federal income tax purposes at the time of the transfer of the shares in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock on the date of the transfer, less any amount paid therefor. The employer will be entitled to a deduction at that time in an amount equal to the amount the participant is required to include in income with respect to the restricted shares, subject to the deduction limitations described below.
Restricted Stock Units
There generally will be no United States federal income tax consequences to either the participant or the employer upon the grant of restricted stock units. Generally, the participant will recognize ordinary income subject to withholding upon the receipt of cash and/or transfer of shares of common stock in payment of the restricted stock units in an amount equal to the aggregate of the cash received and the fair market value of the common stock so transferred. Subject to the deduction limitations described below, the employer generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount includible in the participant’s income.
Generally, a participant will recognize ordinary income subject to withholding upon the payment of any dividend equivalents paid with respect to an award in an amount equal to the cash and the fair market value of any common stock the participant receives. Subject to the deduction limitations described below, the employer generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction equal to the amount includible in the participant’s income.
Stock Awards
If a participant receives a stock award in lieu of a cash payment that would otherwise have been made, the participant generally will be taxed as if the cash payment has been received, and the employer will have a deduction in the same amount.
Limitation on the Employer’s Compensation Deduction
Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deduction certain employers may take for otherwise deductible compensation payable to certain executive officers of the employer to the extent the compensation paid to such an officer for the year exceeds $1 million.
Excess Parachute Payments
Section 280G of the Code limits the deduction that the employer may take for otherwise deductible compensation payable to certain individuals if the compensation constitutes an “excess parachute payment.” Excess parachute payments arise from payments made to disqualified individuals that are in the nature of compensation and are contingent on changes in ownership or control of the employer or certain affiliates. Accelerated vesting or payment of awards under the 2021 Plan upon a change in ownership or control of the employer or its affiliates could result in excess parachute payments. In addition to the deduction limitation applicable to the employer, a disqualified individual receiving an excess parachute payment is subject to a 20% excise tax on the amount thereof.
Application of Section 409A of the Code
Section 409A of the Code imposes an additional 20% tax and interest on an individual receiving nonstatutory deferred compensation under a plan that fails to satisfy certain requirements. For purposes of Section 409A, “non-qualified deferred compensation” includes equity-based incentive programs, including some stock options, stock appreciation rights and RSU programs. Generally speaking, Section 409A does not apply to incentive stock options, non-discounted nonstatutory stock options and stock appreciation rights if no deferral is provided beyond exercise, or restricted stock.
The awards made pursuant to the 2021 Plan are expected to be designed in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent the awards granted under the 2021 Plan are not exempt from coverage. However, if the 2021 Plan fails to comply with Section 409A in operation, a participant could be subject to the additional taxes and interest.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

State, local and foreign tax consequences may in some cases differ from the United States federal income tax consequences described above. The foregoing summary of the United States federal income tax consequences in respect of the 2021 Plan is for general information only. Interested parties should consult their own advisors as to specific tax consequences of their awards.
The 2021 Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.
New Plan Benefits
Grants under the 2021 Plan will be made at the discretion of the plan administrator and are not currently determinable. The value of the awards granted under the 2021 Plan will depend on a number of factors, including the fair market value of the common stock on future dates, the exercise decisions made by the participants and the extent to which any applicable performance goals necessary for vesting or payment are achieved.
Interests of Certain Persons in this Proposal
Sandbridge’s directors and executive officers may be considered to have an interest in the approval of the 2021 Plan because they may in the future receive awards under the 2021 Plan. Nevertheless, the board of directors believes that it is important to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance and the retention of executive officers and experienced directors by adopting the 2021 Plan.
Resolution
The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:
RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the Company’s adoption of Owlet, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan and any form award agreements thereunder, be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”
Vote Required for Approval
If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal will not be presented at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Incentive Award Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Sandbridge stockholders present in person (which would include presence at a virtual meeting) or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
Board’s Recommendation
THE SANDBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE ESPP PROPOSAL
Overview
Sandbridge is asking its stockholders to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Owlet, Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and the material terms thereunder. The Sandbridge board of directors approved the ESPP, prior to the Sandbridge special meeting, subject to stockholder approval at the Sandbridge special meeting. The ESPP became effective as of the date it was adopted by the Sandbridge board of directors, subject to approval by Sandbridge stockholders.
The ESPP is described in more detail below. A copy of the ESPP is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E.
The ESPP
The ESPP is designed to allow eligible employees of Owlet to purchase shares of Owlet common stock with their accumulated payroll deductions. The ESPP is divided into two components: the “Section 423 Component” and the “Non-Section 423 Component”. The Section 423 Component is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code. The Non-Section 423 Component is not intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code and will be used to grant stock options to certain non-U.S. employees and certain U.S. employees who are employed by certain of our subsidiaries which are not corporations. The material terms of the ESPP are summarized below. The purpose of the ESPP is to assist such employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in Owlet, to help such employees provide for their future security and to encourage such employees to remain in the employment of Owlet. The Sandbridge board of directors believes that equity awards are necessary to remain competitive in its industry and are essential to recruiting and retaining the highly qualified employees who help us meet our goals.
Summary of the ESPP
This section summarizes certain principal features of the ESPP. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the ESPP.
Administration
Subject to the terms and conditions of the ESPP, our compensation committee will administer the ESPP. Our compensation committee can delegate administrative tasks under the ESPP to the services of an agent and/or employees to assist in the administration of the ESPP. The administrator will have the discretionary authority to administer and interpret the ESPP. Interpretations and constructions of the administrator of any provision of the ESPP or of any rights thereunder will be conclusive and binding on all persons. We will bear all expenses and liabilities incurred by the ESPP administration.
Shares Available for Awards
The maximum number of shares of our common stock which will be authorized for sale under the ESPP is equal to the sum of (a)    shares of common stock and (b) an annual increase on the first day of each year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such number of shares of common stock as determined by our board of directors; provided, however, no more than    shares of our common stock may be issued under the ESPP. The shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares.
Eligibility
Employees eligible to participate in the ESPP for a given offering period generally include employees who are employed by us or one of our designated subsidiaries on the first day of the offering period, or the enrollment date. Our employees (and, if applicable, any employees of our subsidiaries) who customarily work less than five months in a calendar year or are customarily scheduled to work less than 20 hours per week will not be eligible to participate in the ESPP. Finally, an employee who owns (or is deemed to own through attribution) 5% or more of the combined voting power or value of all our classes of stock or of one of our subsidiaries will not be allowed to participate in the ESPP.
141

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Participation
Employees will enroll under the ESPP by completing a payroll deduction form permitting the deduction from their compensation of at least 1% of their compensation but not more than 15% of their compensation. Such payroll deductions may be expressed as either a whole number percentage or a fixed dollar amount, and the accumulated deductions will be applied to the purchase of shares on each purchase date.
Offering
Under the ESPP, participants are offered the option to purchase shares of our common stock at a discount during a series of successive offering periods, the duration and timing of which will be determined by the ESPP administrator. However, in no event may an offering period be longer than 27 months in length.
The option purchase price will be the lower of 85% of the closing trading price per share of our common stock on the first trading date of an offering period in which a participant is enrolled or 85% of the closing trading price per share on the purchase date.
Unless a participant has previously canceled his or her participation in the ESPP before the purchase date, the participant will be deemed to have exercised his or her option in full as of each purchase date. Upon exercise, the participant will purchase the number of whole shares that his or her accumulated payroll deductions will buy at the option purchase price, subject to the participation limitations listed above.
A participant may cancel his or her payroll deduction authorization at any time prior to the end of the offering period. Upon cancellation, the participant will have the option to either (i) receive a refund of the participant’s account balance in cash without interest or (ii) exercise the participant’s option for the current offering period for the maximum number of shares of common stock on the applicable purchase date, with the remaining account balance refunded in cash without interest. Following at least one payroll deduction, a participant may also decrease (but not increase) his or her payroll deduction authorization once during any offering period. If a participant wants to increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding, he or she may do so effective for the next offering period by submitting a new form before the offering period for which such change is to be effective.
A participant may not assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account or any rights to exercise an option or to receive shares of our common stock under the ESPP, and during a participant’s lifetime, options in the ESPP shall be exercisable only by such participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will not be given effect.
Adjustments
In the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of our common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by us, we will proportionately adjust the aggregate number of shares of our common stock offered under the ESPP, the number and price of shares which any participant has elected to purchase under the ESPP and the maximum number of shares which a participant may elect to purchase in any single offering period. If there is a proposal to dissolve or liquidate us, then the ESPP will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed dissolution or liquidation, and any offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new purchase date to take place before the date of our dissolution or liquidation. We will notify each participant of such change in writing at least ten business days prior to the new exercise date. If we undergo a merger with or into another corporation or sell all or substantially all of our assets, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or the parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. If the successor corporation refuses to assume the outstanding options or substitute equivalent options, then any offering period then in progress will be shortened by setting a new purchase date to take place before the date of our proposed sale or merger. We will notify each participant of such change in writing at least ten business days prior to the new exercise date.
142

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amendment and Termination
Our board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. However, the board of directors may not amend the ESPP without obtaining shareholder approval within 12 months before or after such amendment to the extent required by applicable laws.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general summary under current law of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to the purchase of shares under the ESPP. This summary deals with the general federal income tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Some kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. As such, tax consequences for employees participating in the Non-Section 423 Component of the ESPP are not discussed. This summary is not intended as tax advice to participants, who should consult their own tax advisors.
The Section 423 Component of the ESPP, and the right of participants to make purchases thereunder, is intended to qualify under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. Under the applicable Code provisions, assuming it so qualifies, no income will be taxable to a participant until the sale or other disposition of the shares purchased under the ESPP. This means that an eligible employee will not recognize taxable income on the date the employee is granted an option under the ESPP. In addition, the employee will not recognize taxable income upon the purchase of shares. Upon such sale or disposition, the participant generally will be subject to tax in an amount that depends upon the length of time such shares are held by the participant prior to disposing of them. If the shares are sold or disposed of more than two years from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of purchase, or if the participant dies while holding the shares, the participant (or his or her estate) will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such sale or disposition (or death) over the purchase price or (ii) an amount equal to the applicable discount from the fair market value of the shares as of the date of grant. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the shares are held for the holding periods described above but are sold for a price that is less than the purchase price, there is no ordinary income and the participating employee has a long-term capital loss for the difference between the sale price and the purchase price.
If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price and Owlet will be entitled to a tax deduction for compensation expense in the amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the shares were held following the date they were purchased by the participant prior to disposing of them. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above but are sold for a price that is less than the purchase price, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase over the purchase price (and Owlet will be entitled to a corresponding deduction), but the participant generally will be able to report a capital loss equal to the difference between the sales price of the shares and the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase.
Interests of Certain Persons in this Proposal
Sandbridge’s executive officers may be considered to have an interest in the approval of the ESPP because they may in the future receive awards under the ESPP. Nevertheless, the board of directors believes that it is important to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance and the retention of executive officers by adopting the ESPP.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the Sandbridge’s Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal or the ESPP Proposal, or if holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of Sandbridge Class A common stock such that Sandbridge would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or that the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied. In no event will the Sandbridge Board adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the Current Charter and Delaware law.
Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by Sandbridge’s stockholders, the Sandbridge Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal, the Incentive Award Plan Proposal or the ESPP Proposal, or if holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock have elected to redeem an amount of Sandbridge Class A common stock such that Sandbridge would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets or that the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition would not be satisfied, and may be unable to consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by September 17, 2022 or during any stockholder-approved extension period (subject to the requirements of law), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.
Vote Required for Approval
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the Sandbridge stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, regardless of whether a quorum is present.
Failure to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, an abstention from voting or a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.
The Required Transaction Proposals are not conditioned upon the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.
The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote the founder shares and any public shares owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal (if necessary). See “Related Agreements - Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.
Recommendation of the Sandbridge Board of Directors
THE SANDBRIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SANDBRIDGE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.
The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Sandbridge’s directors or officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or officer(s) between what they may believe is in the best interests of Sandbridge and its stockholders and what they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. For instance, ownership of founder shares by Mr. Toubassy, Mr. De Sole and Mr. Goss, our independent directors, may create a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination, and in determining the terms on which we are willing to consummate such a transaction. See “The Business Combination Proposal – Interests of Sandbridge’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Sandbridge is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Sandbridge and Owlet Baby Care Inc. (“Owlet”) adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 ‘Amendments to Financial Disclosure about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.’ Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The historical financial information of Sandbridge was derived from the financial statements of Sandbridge as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, respectively, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Owlet was derived from the consolidated financial statements of Owlet as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with Sandbridge’s and Owlet’s financial statements and related notes, the sections titled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Sandbridge, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Owlet and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Under the guidance in ASC 805, Sandbridge is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Owlet issuing stock for the net assets of Sandbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Owlet.
Owlet expects to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under both the no and maximum redemption scenarios:
Owlet stockholders will have the largest voting interest in the post-combination company;
the board of directors of the post-combination company will have up to nine members, and Owlet will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the board of directors;
Owlet management will continue to hold executive management roles for the post-combination company and be responsible for the day-to-day operations;
the post-combination company will assume the Owlet name;
the post-combination company will maintain the current Owlet headquarters; and
the intended strategy of the post-combination entity will continue Owlet’s current strategy of product development and market penetration.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 combines the historical audited balance sheet of Sandbridge and the historical consolidated audited balance sheet of Owlet on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical audited statement of operations of Sandbridge for the period from its inception on June 23, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and the historical consolidated audited statement of operations of Owlet for the year ended December 31, 2020 on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and related transactions, summarized below, had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

condensed combined financial information. Owlet will incur additional costs after the Business Combination in order to satisfy its obligations as an SEC reporting public company.
Description of the Business Combination
On February 15, 2021 Owlet entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Sandbridge and Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet, with Owlet surviving the Merger. Owlet will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandbridge and Sandbridge will immediately be renamed “Owlet, Inc.” Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Owlet’s equityholders will receive or have the right to receive shares of New Owlet common stock at a deemed value of $10.00 per share after giving effect to the Exchange Ratio based on the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Accordingly, an estimated 90,466,363 shares of New Owlet common stock will be immediately issued and outstanding, based on Owlet’s capital stock (including Owlet convertible notes and warrants on an as converted net-exercise basis, as applicable) balance as of March 22, 2021, and an estimated 11,171,429 shares will be reserved for the potential future issuance of New Owlet common stock upon the exercise of Owlet stock options based on the following transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement:
the cancellation of each issued and outstanding share of Owlet common stock (including shares of Owlet common stock resulting from the deemed conversion of Owlet redeemable convertible preferred stock and outstanding unvested restricted shares of Owlet common stock) and the conversion into the right to receive a number of shares of New Owlet common stock shares equal to the Exchange Ratio;
the assumed net share settlement of all outstanding Owlet warrants in accordance with their respective terms into the right to receive a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; and
the conversion of all outstanding Owlet options into options exercisable for shares of New Owlet common stock with the same terms except for the number of shares exercisable and the exercise price, each of which will be adjusted using the Exchange Ratio, and assuming no cash elections by holders of Owlet options.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption by Sandbridge’s public stockholders of shares of Sandbridge’s public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing Date) in the Trust Account:
Assuming No Redemption: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders of Sandbridge exercise redemption rights with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.
Assuming Maximum Redemption: This presentation assumes 7,000,000 of the public shares are redeemed for their pro rata share of the funds in Trust Account for aggregate redemption payments of $70.0 million. The Business Combination Agreement includes as a condition to closing the Business Combination that, at the Closing, Sandbridge will have a minimum of $140.0 million in cash comprising the cash held in the Trust Account after deducting (x) amounts payable for Sandbridge share redemptions and (y) deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account and Sandbridge’s expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and Sandbridge’s operations (such commissions and expenses estimated to be $20.0 million), but excluding the PIPE Investment Amount actually received by Sandbridge prior to or substantially concurrent with the Closing. This scenario is based on satisfaction of the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount condition.
Other Related Events in Connection with the Business Combination
Other related events that are contemplated to take place in connection with the Business Combination are summarized below:
The issuance and sale of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge common stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $130.0 million pursuant to the PIPE Investment; and
Of the shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor as of the Closing, 1,403,750 shares will vest at such time as a $12.50 stock price level is achieved and 1,403,750 will vest at such time as a $15.00 stock price level is achieved, in each case, on or before the fifth

anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination. The “stock price level” will be considered achieved only (a) when the closing price of a share of New Owlet common stock on the NYSE is greater than or equal to the applicable price for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period or (b) the price per share of New Owlet common stock paid in a Sandbridge Sale is greater than or equal to the applicable price. Founder shares subject to vesting pursuant to the above terms that do not vest in accordance with such terms shall be forfeited. As the vesting event has not yet been achieved, these shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock, which will be issued and outstanding, are treated as contingently recallable in the pro forma financial information.
The accounting treatment of the shares of New Owlet common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor but subject to vesting is being evaluated to assess if they qualify as equity classified instruments or liability classified instruments, including evaluating if the vesting events include events or adjustments that are not considered indexed to the fair value of the New Owlet common stock. The accounting for the private placement warrants is also being evaluated to assess if they qualify as equity classified instruments or liability classified instruments. If either of these arrangements are required to be accounted for as liabilities, then the shares that are subject to vesting and the Private Placement Warrants will be recognized as liabilities at fair value upon the Closing and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date in future reporting periods with changes in fair value recorded in the New Owlet consolidated statement of operations. We expect to finalize our assessment of the accounting treatment prior to the Closing.

Notes To Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
1.
Basis of Presentation
The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Sandbridge is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Owlet issuing stock for the net assets of Sandbridge, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Owlet.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 assumes that the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects pro forma effect of the Business Combination and related transactions as if they had been completed on January 1, 2020. These periods are presented on the basis of Owlet as the accounting acquirer.
The transaction accounting adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that Sandbridge believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited transaction accounting adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the transaction accounting adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Sandbridge believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the transaction accounting adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Sandbridge and Owlet.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing transaction accounting adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”), operations and financial position of the registrant as an autonomous entity (“Autonomous Entity Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). Sandbridge has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Sandbridge and Owlet have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no transaction accounting adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
2.
Accounting Policies
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management of New Owlet will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies, including the accounting for the Sponsor Private Placement Warrants. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company.
The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the post-combination company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations are based upon the number of Owlet’s shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2020.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and related transactions and has been prepared for informational purposes only.
Sandbridge and Owlet did not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020
The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are as follows:
(1)
Reflects the release of $230.1 million of cash held in Sandbridge’s Trust Account to cash and cash equivalents.
(2)
Reflects cash proceeds from the concurrent Private Placement in the amount of $130.0 million, consisting of 13,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock with a par value of $0.0001, and corresponding offset to additional-paid-in-capital.
(3)
Reflects an adjustment of $35.0 million to reduce cash for transaction costs expected to be incurred by Sandbridge and Owlet in relation to the Business Combination and Private Placement, including advisory, banking, printing, legal and accounting services. $14.7 million was recorded to accumulated deficit as part of the Business Combination, $8.1 million was deferred related to underwriting commissions, and the remaining $12.2 million was determined to be equity issuance costs and offset to additional-paid-in-capital. In addition, adjustment reflects the elimination of $0.5 million in capitalized transaction costs, reflected in prepaid and other current assets.
(4a)
Reflects the reclassification of Sandbridge’s common stock subject to possible redemption into permanent equity when no stockholders exercise their redemption rights.
(4b)
Reflects the reclassification of Sandbridge’s common stock to possible redemption into permanent equity when maximum shares are subject to redemption.
(5)
Reflects the recapitalization of Owlet through issuance of common stock based on an Exchange Ratio of 2.050 shares of New Owlet common stock per share of Owlet common stock.
(6)
Reflects the elimination of Sandbridge’s historical accumulated deficit and a reduction to Sandbridge’s additional-paid-in-capital related to the excess of the merger consideration over the net monetary assets of Sandbridge.
(7)
Reflects the conversion of all of Owlet's convertible promissory notes outstanding in the aggregate amount of $6.9 million, consisting of $6.5 million in principal and $0.4 million in accrued interest, to common stock and additional paid in capital.
(8)
Reflects the derecognition of the preferred stock warrant liability, as well as a corresponding increase to additional-paid-in-capital to reflect the conversion of all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Owlet’s redeemable convertible preferred stock becoming warrants to purchase shares of New Owlet common stock.
(9)
Reflects the derecognition of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, as well as a corresponding increase to additional-paid-in-capital to reflect the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock to Owlet common stock.
(10)
Reflects merger consideration of $1.0 billion paid via the issuance of shares of common stock of Sandbridge valued at $10.00 per share issued to consummate the Business Combination, in exchange for outstanding shares of Owlet common stock.
(11)
Reflects the reclassification of Class B Sandbridge Common Stock to Class A Common Stock of New Owlet.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2020
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations include Transaction Accounting Adjustments. Sandbridge and Owlet did not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no Transaction Accounting Adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss are based upon the number of shares outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2020.
The Transaction Accounting Adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
(1A)
Elimination of interest income on the trust account.
(2A)
Reflects the elimination of interest expense and debt discount amortization on Owlet's convertible debt.
(3A)
Elimination of the change in the fair value of warrants.
(4A)
Reflects the net impact on income taxes resulting from an income tax provision attributable to application of the blended statutory tax rate of 0.23% to the adjustment related to reduction of interest expense incurred on Owlet debt, offset by the impact on the pro forma valuation allowance.
4.
Loss per Share
Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2020. As the Business Combination and related transactions are being reflected as if they had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. Holders of Owlet common stock will receive shares of New Owlet common stock in an amount determined by application of the Exchange Ratio. In the maximum redemption scenario, this calculation eliminates 7.0 million of the public shares for the entire period.
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The 2,807,500 shares of New Owlet common stock beneficially owned by the Sponsor but subject to vesting are participating securities that contractually entitle the holders of such shares to participate in nonforfeitable dividends but does not contractually obligate the holders of such shares to participate in losses. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations reflects a net loss for the period presented and, accordingly, no loss amounts have been allocated to such shares. These shares have also been excluded from basic and diluted pro forma net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as such shares of New Owlet common stock are contingently recallable until the vesting events have occurred.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming two alternative levels of redemption by Sandbridge’s public stockholders of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the trust account as of December 31, 2020:

OTHER INFORMATION RELATED TO SANDBRIDGE
Introduction
Sandbridge is a blank check company incorporated on June 23, 2020 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. Prior to executing the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations.
Initial Public Offering
Sandbridge has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on Sandbridge’s business activities, Sandbridge is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.
On September 17, 2020, Sandbridge consummated its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units sold to the underwriters upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock and one half of one public warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds, before expenses, of $230,000,000. Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, on June 26, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In August 2020, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy, Sandbridge’s director nominees, and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. Goss, resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,615,000 founder shares. The number of founder shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the initial public offering would be a maximum of 23,000,000 units and therefore that such founder shares would represent, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock under the initial public offering.
In connection with the initial public offering, including the underwriters’ elections to exercise their over-allotment option in relation thereto, Sandbridge consummated private sales of an aggregate of 6,600,000 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Sandbridge Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total gross proceeds of approximately $6,600,000. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants included in the units sold in the initial public offering, except that, so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by Sandbridge, (ii) they (including the shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after Sandbridge completes its initial business combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) they (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) will be entitled to registration rights.
Following the initial public offering, including the underwriters’ elections to exercise their over-allotment option in relation thereto, and the sale of the private placement warrants, $230,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, the Current Charter provides that none of the funds held in trust will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of an initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Current Charter to modify the substance or timing of Sandbridge’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares if Sandbridge is unable to complete an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of Sandbridge’s initial public offering. 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 of 1940, as amended (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.
The net proceeds deposited into the Trust Account remain on deposit in the Trust Account earning interest. As of December 31, 2020, there was $230,053,249 in investments and cash held in the Trust Account.

Sandbridge’s initial business combination must occur with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting commissions and net of amounts disbursed to management for taxes payable) at the time of signing a definitive agreement to enter into the Business Combination. Sandbridge will not complete a business combination unless it acquires a controlling interest in a target company or is otherwise not required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Sandbridge Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.
PIMCO Private Funds Consent Right
In connection with Sandbridge’s initial public offering, Sandbridge agreed that it would not enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior written consent of the Sandbridge fund and the PIMCO private funds. Each of the Sandbridge fund and the PIMCO private funds have consented to our entry into the Business Combination Agreement.
Voting Restrictions in Connection with Stockholder Meeting
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and certain initial stockholders, directors and officers entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor and each other holder of founder shares has agreed, among other things, (a) to appear at the Special Meeting or otherwise cause its shares to be counted as present for the purpose of establishing quorum; (b) to vote (or execute a written consent), or cause to be voted (or consent to be granted) any Sandbridge common stock and founder shares owned by it, him or her at such special meeting in person, or by proxy, in favor of the Business Combination and the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (d) to vote (or execute a written consent) or cause to be voted (or consent to be granted) any Sandbridge common stock or founder shares owned by it, him or her at such special meeting in person, or by proxy, against any alternative business combination or any action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Business Combination or any of the related transactions or result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of Sandbridge under the Business Combination Agreement or the Sponsor under the Sponsor Letter Agreement and (e) not redeem any shares of founder shares owned by it, him or her in connection with the stockholder approval. Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, a percentage of Sandbridge Class A common stock held by the Sponsor shall be subject to certain time and performance-based vesting provisions. For additional information, see “Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement.”
At any time prior to the Special Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Sandbridge or its securities, the initial stockholders, Owlet and/or its affiliates may purchase shares and/or warrants from investors, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal or not redeem their public shares. The purpose of any such transaction 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) increase the likelihood that the Minimum Available Sandbridge Cash Amount is satisfied. Any such stock purchases and other transactions may thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination. This may result in the completion of the Business Combination in a way that may not otherwise have been possible. While the exact nature of any such incentives has not been determined as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to protect such investors or holders against potential loss in value of their shares, including the granting of put options and the transfer to such investors or holders of shares or rights owned by Sandbridge’s initial stockholders for nominal value.
Liquidation if No Business Combination
Sandbridge has until September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period to complete an initial business combination. If it is unable to complete its initial business combination by that date (or such later date as its stockholders may approve in accordance with the Current Charter), Sandbridge will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously

released to it to pay its franchise and income taxes (less 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 Sandbridge’s remaining stockholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to Sandbridge’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the private placement warrants, which will expire worthless if Sandbridge fails to complete its initial business combination by September 17, 2022, or during any stockholder-approved extension period.
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and initial stockholders and its other directors and officers as of the time of the initial public offering have entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which they have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares.
The Sponsor and Sandbridge’s officers and directors have also agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with Sandbridge, that they will not propose any amendment to the Current Charter that would affect the substance or timing of Sandbridge’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it does not complete its initial business combination by September 17, 2022 or with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless Sandbridge provides its 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 earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Sandbridge to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. However, Sandbridge may not redeem the public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 (so that it is not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules).
Sandbridge expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining out of the approximately $1,000,000 of proceeds held outside the Trust Account, although it 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 the plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay its taxes, Sandbridge may request the trustee to release to it an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.
If Sandbridge was to expend all of the net proceeds of its initial public offering, 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 its dissolution would be approximately $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of its creditors, which would have higher priority than the claims of its public stockholders. Sandbridge cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by stockholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. Under Section 281(b) of the DGCL, Sandbridge’s plan of dissolution must provide for all claims against it to be paid in full or make provision for payments to be made in full, as applicable, if there are sufficient assets. These claims must be paid or provided for before it makes any distribution of its remaining assets to Sandbridge’s stockholders. While Sandbridge intends to pay such amounts, if any, it cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.
Although Sandbridge will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than its independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of its 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 Sandbridge’s 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, Sandbridge’s 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
158

TABLE OF CONTENTS

would be significantly more beneficial to Sandbridge than any alternative. Examples of possible instances where Sandbridge 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. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Sandbridge is not a party to any agreement that does not contain such 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 Sandbridge and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Sandbridge if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than its independent registered accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to Sandbridge, or a prospective target business with which Sandbridge has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 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 the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay Sandbridge’s franchise and income taxes, except as to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under Sandbridge’s indemnity of the underwriters of its initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Sandbridge has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and Sandbridge believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are Sandbridge’s securities. Therefore, Sandbridge cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, Sandbridge may not be able to complete the Business Combination, and Sandbridge’s public stockholders would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of their public shares. None of Sandbridge’s officers or directors will indemnify Sandbridge 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 (i) $10.00 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 the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay its franchise and income taxes, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Sandbridge’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Sandbridge currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Sandbridge, it is possible that Sandbridge’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in certain instances. Accordingly, Sandbridge cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be substantially less than $10.00 per share.
Sandbridge 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 (other than its independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with Sandbridge waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under Sandbridge’s indemnity of the underwriters of its initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Sandbridge has access to up to approximately $500,000 held outside the Trust Account with which it may pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with its liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that Sandbridge liquidates, and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, stockholders who received funds from the Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.
If Sandbridge files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of Sandbridge’s
159

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, Sandbridge cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.00 per share to its public stockholders. Additionally, if Sandbridge files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Sandbridge 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 Sandbridge’s stockholders. Furthermore, the Sandbridge Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to Sandbridge’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and the company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Sandbridge cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.
Sandbridge’s public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of Sandbridge’s initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Current Charter to modify the substance or timing of Sandbridge’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of its initial public offering or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; or (iii) in the event of the redemption of the public shares if Sandbridge does not complete its initial business combination by May 26, 2022. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event Sandbridge seeks stockholder approval in connection with an 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 Sandbridge for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such stockholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of the Current Charter, like all provisions of the Current Charter, may be amended with a stockholder vote.
Properties
Sandbridge currently maintains its executive offices at 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2088, Los Angeles, CA 90067. The cost for this space is included in the $10,000 per month, until our initial business combination or our liquidation fee that Sandbridge pays an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, utilities, administrative and support services. Sandbridge considers its current office space adequate for its current operations.
Employees
Sandbridge currently has three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to Sandbridge’s matters but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to Sandbridge’s affairs until it has completed an 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 an initial business combination and the stage of the Business Combination process it is in. Sandbridge does not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of its initial business combination.

We have agreed to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, until our initial business combination or our liquidation, for office space, utilities, administrative and support services provided to members of our management team. 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.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
The Sandbridge Board consists of six members, with the directors divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with the NYSE corporate governance requirements, Sandbridge is not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after its first fiscal year end following its listing on the NYSE. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Toubassy and Mr. Goss will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Domenico De Sole and Krystal Kahler, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF SANDBRIDGE
The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation (for purposes of this section, “Sandbridge,” “we,” “us” and “our”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Sandbridge included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on June 23, 2020 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. In connection with our initial public offering, we consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 6,600,000 warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at $11.50 per share, to our Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of approximately $6,600,000. We intend to consummate the Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering that closed on September 17, 2020, the PIPE Financing, and from additional issuances of, if any, our equity and our debt, or a combination of cash, equity and debt.
At December 31, 2020, we held cash of $1,287,234, current liabilities of $315,328 and deferred underwriting compensation of $8,050,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete the Business Combination will be successful.
Agreement for Business Combination
On February 15, 2021, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and Owlet. If the Business Combination is consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet with Owlet surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandbridge. In addition, in connection with and following the consummation of the Business Combination, Sandbridge will be renamed “Owlet, Inc.” and is referred to herein as “New Owlet” as of the time following such change of name.
Owlet Baby Care Inc. designs and sells products and services based on a commitment to empower parents with technology and data to proactively monitor the health and wellness of their children from conception to kindergarten. Owlet’s ecosystem of connected smart products, including its flagship Smart Sock, is helping to transform modern parenting by bringing simplified child monitoring solutions in-home so parents can rest easier.
As a consequence of the Business Combination, at the Effective Time, each share of Sandbridge Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of New Owlet common stock. The Business Combination will have no effect on Sandbridge Class A common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will continue to remain outstanding.
As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock (as defined herein) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio; (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, except that, subject to certain limitations, holders of vested options may instead elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of assumption of a portion of their vested options; and (iii) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be

subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the Owlet Restricted Stock. The Business Combination also calls for additional agreements, including, among others, the Subscription Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement, the Sponsor Letter Agreement, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
Results of Operations
For the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $427,187, which consists of operating costs of $480,436 offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $53,249. Through December 31, 2020, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters. We have not generated any revenue, other than interest income earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2020, $230,053,249 was held in the Trust Account (including $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and we had cash outside of the Trust Account of $1,287,234 available for working capital purposes.
Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay Sandbridge’s franchise and income tax obligations, the Current Charter provides that none of the funds held in trust will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of an initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Current Charter to modify the substance or timing of Sandbridge’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering or with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares if Sandbridge is unable to complete a Business Combination by September 17, 2022. Through December 31, 2020, we have not withdrawn any funds from interest earned on the trust proceeds. Other than the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, no amounts are payable to the underwriters of the initial public offering in the event of a business combination. Citigroup has agreed to waive its rights to deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account in the event Sandbridge does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, in which case such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the public shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit in the proposed offering.
We have also agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, until our initial business combination or our liquidation, for office space, utilities, administrative and support services provided to members of our management team. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, Sandbridge incurred and paid $40,000 under this agreement.
Going Concern Considerations and Capital Resources
For the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $427,187, which consists of operating costs of $480,436, offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $53,249.
We do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination.
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2020, we had outside of trust cash in the amount of $1,287,234 and is available for working capital purposes.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
165

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an administrative agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month, until our initial business combination or our liquidation, for office space, utilities, administrative and support services provided to members of our management team, from the date of closing of our initial public offering. Upon completion of a business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for Sandbridge Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Sandbridge Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Sandbridge Class A common stock features 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, the 21,824,900 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of Sandbridge’s condensed balance sheet.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted for Sandbridge Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock outstanding for the periods. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering (including the over-allotment) and private placement warrants to purchase approximately 11,500,000 and 6,600,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock, respectively, in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of such warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The Sandbridge statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account of $53,249 for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 (net of applicable franchise and income taxes, limited to interest income, of $53,249 for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020), by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock since original issuance. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted, for Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income, less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Class B non-redeemable common stock includes the founder shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Sandbridge management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on Sandbridge’s financial statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

INFORMATION RELATED TO OWLET
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Owlet,” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “company” in this section are to the business and operations of Owlet prior to the Business Combination and the business and operations of New Owlet following the Business Combination.
We Are Owlet
Becoming a parent is a life-changing milestone. New mothers and fathers become caregivers overnight and share the same primary concerns of sleep, safety, and sickness. Parents, who are increasingly older and busier, assume the roles of doctor, dietitian, and sleep trainer. In many cases, parents receive minimal guidance, counseling, or affirmation of how well they are caring for their newborn, which often leads to increased anxiety and feelings worry. As a result, parents lose on average 44 nights of sleep during the first year of an infant’s life. Furthermore, the first years of life are the most expensive for healthcare with over 92 million well, sick, and emergency room visits annually in the United States.
Enter Owlet. Our mission is to empower parents with the right information at the right time, to give them more peace of mind and help them find more joy in the journey of parenting. Our digital parenting platform aims to give parents real-time data and insights to help parents feel calmer and more confident. We believe that every parent deserves peace of mind and the opportunity to feel their well-rested best. We also believe that every child deserves to live a long, happy, and healthy life, and we are working to develop products to help facilitate that. Our ecosystem of digital parenting solutions, including our connected anchor product, the Owlet Smart Sock, is helping to transform modern parenting by providing parents data-driven insights into their children’s well-being in the comfort of their own home. We believe that by developing in-home pediatric monitoring and analytics technologies, we can not only provide parents with peace of mind about their children, but also create future applications that have the potential to decrease infant death due to Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and opportunistically detect infant ailments such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
With Owlet, parents can better navigate the journey of parenthood, rest easier and have greater peace of mind. Based on the United Nations global population estimates of children aged zero to five and prices of our current products and our estimates for prices of products in development, we estimate the total addressable market for our existing products to be $21 billion, and that the total addressable market for our existing and pipeline products will reach an estimated $81 billion by 2025. We believe the opportunity ahead of us is significant, and that increased parental engagement in childcare, the consumerization of pulse oximetry, and telehealth adoption are key trends accelerating growth in our target markets.
Our Story, Our Culture
Kurt Workman, Jordan Monroe, Zack Bomsta, and Jake Colvin founded Owlet because they wanted access to real-time data to give them peace of mind as new parents. Infant monitoring solutions were highly fragmented and provided limited real-time awareness, leading to a less-than-optimal solution for concerned parents. There was also no product on the market available for parents to track a baby’s sleep patterns, oxygen levels, and heart rate at home. Our founders’ love for their children inspired them to launch Owlet in 2012 and create the Owlet Smart Sock, which was first sold in 2015.
Since our founding, we have established a culture based on innovation and operational excellence, resulting in highly innovative and award-winning products. Our collaborative culture and emphasis on disruption and innovation has led to numerous design and innovation awards and baby industry awards.
We believe our innovation and operational excellence stems directly from the diversity in our community and our common commitment to equity, inclusion, and equal access to healthcare. As of December 31, 2020, over 40% of our employees were women and over 20% were from minority groups.
Our Platform
Our purpose-built, growing suite of connected digital parenting products and services is designed to help parents know more about their children and gain peace of mind in their roles as caregivers. The Owlet Smart Sock is intended for use by healthy infants of up to 18 months of age, and the Owlet Cam can be used by parents to help monitor children of any age. Owlet Dream Lab is an interactive online platform that assists

TABLE OF CONTENTS

families in building healthy sleep habits with their babies of up to 12 months in age. We have developed deep and enduring relationships with our users and brand advocates around the world. These relationships continue to grow and develop as a result of our novel product and software additions to our connected ecosystem, feature enhancements, multi-channel distribution, and marketing efforts.
Research, development, and product innovation are core to our business, and we believe provide us competitive advantages. Our intellectual property portfolio of 33 issued patents (with numerous others pending) and 38 registered trademarks provides a strong backbone to our connected ecosystem and brand. We have developed or otherwise own the rights to technology from the backend data to the user interface that allows us to control the user experience for our current products and plan to advance that technology for products in development. From designing innovative and groundbreaking products to employing sophisticated software with proprietary algorithms and backend support, we believe we have built a strong competitive moat and early-mover advantage over potential competition in the connected nursery field. We have a vast infant data set with over 850,000 babies monitored since the launch of the Owlet Smart Sock. We currently monitor approximately nine billion heartbeats per day and our large and growing body of data leads to stronger insights and allows us to develop better products and services, which we believe in turn leads to happier users and drives product purchases.
We believe our innovations translate to a better parenting experience. For example, as part of a survey we conducted in May 2017 of 5,125 parents whose children were using the Owlet Smart Sock, 96% of respondents reported reduced anxiety and 94% reported better sleep after using the Owlet Smart Sock (as published in Global Pediatric Health). That confidence is further shown by the one-and-a-half million downloads of our application. On average, parents whose children wear an Owlet Smart Sock open our application with a daily frequency rivaling that of various social media platforms.
In order to make our products and services easy to find and purchase, as of December 31, 2020, over 3,500 global and national retail stores sold our products. These channels are complemented by sales on Amazon.com and other online retail sites as well as our direct-to-consumer channel on our website. Through this domain, we connect directly with our users, offer education on products and software, and gain valuable feedback from our users.
We believe demand for our innovative products is evidenced by our strong financial performance. We grew revenues from $49.8 million in 2019 to $75.4 million in 2020, representing growth of 51.4%. Over the same period, gross profit grew from $22.9 million to $35.9 million, representing growth of 56.6%, net loss improved from $(17.9) million to $(10.5) million, and EBITDA improved from $(16.6) million to $(8.2) million.
Superior Solutions for Parenting
Through our existing platform and future development pipeline of products and services designed to span from conception to kindergarten, we are committed to changing what it means to be a parent in the modern age. Through innovative hardware and software solutions utilizing proprietary algorithms, we give parents access to information about their children’s sleep patterns, oxygen levels, and heart rates, in addition to the ability to see and hear their children wherever they may be. These offerings are designed to complement parents’ intuition, leading to a more joyful parenting experience.
Existing Offerings
Smart Sock – The award-winning Owlet Smart Sock is the first baby monitor to track an infant’s oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep trends. The Owlet Smart Sock allows parents to view their baby’s heart rate and oxygen readings in real time from the Owlet application. If the baby’s readings ever fall outside of preset zones, parents are notified through the Owlet application and a nearby base station that the baby may need attention.
Cam – The Owlet Cam turns any smartphone into a baby monitor, allowing parents to hear and see everything that is most important to them from anywhere in high-definition clarity. The Owlet Cam includes a wide-angle view, sound and motion notifications, and background audio to ensure parents never miss a moment. The Owlet Cam streams secure, encrypted video to parents’ own private accounts on the Owlet application.
168

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Monitor Duo – The Owlet Monitor Duo offers the intelligence of our award-winning Smart Sock paired with the Owlet Cam. It is the first smart baby monitor that combines the ability to track a baby’s heart rate, oxygen levels, and sleep trends with high-definition video, offering parents the most complete picture of their baby’s sleep and well-being.
Dream Lab – Owlet Dream Lab is an interactive online platform that assists families in building healthy sleep habits with their babies of up to 12 months in age. Designed in partnership with pediatric sleep experts, Owlet Dream Lab offers personalized step-by-step sleep plans, video tutorials, and access to twice-weekly webinars for live support.
In addition to our existing offerings, we believe our pipeline of products and software services in development will provide us an opportunity to increase our total addressable market and customer lifetime value. We are designing these pipeline offerings to complement our existing suite of solutions and create a more connected and comprehensive digital parenting ecosystem.
Monitoring Pipeline
Smart Sock Variants
Smart Sock Plus – The Owlet Smart Sock Plus utilizes the same technology as the Owlet Smart Sock and is designed to grow with children, from newborn to five years. Through an expanded fabric sock set, the Owlet Smart Sock Plus would allow families to track oxygen levels, heart rates, and sleep trends for an age range that is three times larger than that of the existing Owlet Smart Sock.
BabySat – Based on the Owlet Smart Sock, the Owlet BabySat is under development as a medical device that would, if authorized by the FDA, be sold for prescription use only. The Owlet BabySat is designed to utilize various telehealth platforms and is intended specifically for babies with diagnosed illnesses and health conditions. We have submitted a premarket notification to the FDA seeking 510(k) clearance of the Owlet BabySat. In January 2021, the FDA informed us that additional data would be needed to support 510(k) clearance for the product. We plan to engage with the FDA to obtain feedback on a proposed study design to generate such data to support a resubmission of our application for 510(k) clearance.
Over-the-Counter “OTC” Smart Sock – The Owlet OTC Smart Sock is under development as a medical device that would be sold over-the-counter at retailers without a prescription. The Owlet OTC Smart Sock is designed to integrate with various telehealth platforms and preemptively screen for health conditions in babies with no existing medical or health issues. We anticipate that the Owlet OTC Smart Sock will require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to commercialization.
Band – The Owlet Band is under development and designed for pregnant women between 24 to 40 weeks of gestation. The Owlet Band is intended to use safe and passive electrocardiogram sensors to allow expectant mothers to safely track their own sleep patterns and heart rate, in addition to tracking their baby’s heartbeat. Expectant parents will be able to view collected data in the Owlet pregnancy application as well as hear their baby’s heartbeat. For expectant mothers who often go weeks or months without insight into their pregnancy or their baby’s well-being, the Owlet Band is being developed to offer a deeper connection and reassurance to pregnant women at home. We anticipate that the Owlet Band may require marketing authorization from the FDA prior to commercialization.
Connected Ecosystem Pipeline
We plan to complement our monitoring pipeline with our connected ecosystem pipeline to create a more unified digital parenting experience. We believe our strong brand and platform provide a strong position to develop adjacent products. For example, although we do not yet have prototypes for such products, we plan to develop the Owlet Soothe, a white noise machine designed to create a more relaxing bedroom environment; the Owlet Smart Bed, which would connect with the Owlet Smart Sock to understand a baby’s sleep cycles and would utilize automated motion technology to lull babies back to sleep when they wake up; and the Owlet Humidifier, which would integrate with the Owlet OTC Smart Sock to automatically turn on when respiratory
169

TABLE OF CONTENTS

sickness symptoms are detected or when the room falls below a certain humidity threshold. As we develop additional products, we believe parents will increasingly rely on our connected ecosystem for digital parenting solutions.
Platform Pipeline
As we expand our connected ecosystem, we will continue to develop our platform products and services in order to bring additional solutions into the home. Owlet aims to integrate with leading telehealth providers who can share infant sleep and health data with medical professionals. We believe obtaining FDA marketing authorization for our Owlet OTC Smart Sock, Owlet BabySat, and Owlet Band products will allow us to develop a native Owlet telehealth platform and directly engage medical professionals to provide an end-to-end digital healthcare solution for our customers. To further our commitment to parents and their children from conception to kindergarten, we plan to continue to explore new potential products and services that make parents’ and their children’s lives less stressful and more meaningful.
Our Market Opportunity
Based on the United Nations global population estimates of children aged zero to five and prices of our current products and our estimates for prices of products in development, we estimate the total addressable market for our current and pipeline products will reach an estimated $81 billion by 2025. We believe the following trends are supporting the expected growth of our market opportunity:
Healthcare Moves Home. There has been a paradigm shift in how people prefer to receive healthcare services. In the COVID-affected world, there is a heightened focus on bespoke in-home health and wellness solutions. Individuals are increasingly looking to expand their healthcare options beyond a traditional clinical setting. As a result, patients are rapidly adopting telehealth and virtual care services in place of traditional healthcare alternatives. Although some companies such as AmWell, Livongo, and TelaDoc are addressing this need, the market is still in its infancy with substantial growth ahead. In addition, as connected devices propel the consumerization of healthcare through clinical screenings like detection of irregular heartbeat, demand for digital home monitoring continues to build. Digital health has expanded beyond doctor visits to include applications that are customized for individuals and their specific needs – moving healthcare from being reactive to proactive. We intend to take advantage of this trend and empower parents with the tools and data to provide proactive care for their children.
Ubiquity of Biometrics. With pulse oximeters gaining popularity as tools used to track fitness and general wellness, approximately 92 million people are expected to use pulse oximeters on a daily basis by 2022. Consequently, reliance on data becomes routine and even expected. We believe that parents want data about their children and our suite of products and services has the potential to service that demand.
Parenting Gets Upgraded. Parents are simultaneously more engaged in caregiving and more reliant upon technology than ever before. We believe this trend widens our market opportunity and that early tech adopters are more likely than slower tech adopters to own an Owlet Smart Sock. We expect this trend to continue and positively affect Owlet’s future products and services.
Our Growth Strategies
We are excited to expand Owlet’s footprint, and we plan to implement the following strategies to accelerate our growth:
Leverage Brand Awareness & Grow Distribution to Increase Penetration. We intend to continue our efforts to become one of the most recognizable brand names in the digital parenting category. We believe becoming a recognizable brand helps our offerings stand out in a highly fragmented market of legacy companies lacking a category leader. We see ample room for growth as our existing product suite is in the beginning phase of market penetration. We plan to leverage our paid and organic marketing efforts across social media, display advertising, and email marketing to boost top-of-mind awareness and acquire new users at a sustainable cost. In order to bring Owlet to more families, we plan to focus on increasing retailer penetration to 5,000 retail locations by the end of 2022, from an existing penetration of 3,500 retail locations.
Adding New Data-Driven Products to Expand the Digital Parenting Ecosystem. We are building a platform with the goal to be parents’ go-to brand in the areas of sleep, safety, and sickness, from conception
170

TABLE OF CONTENTS

through kindergarten. Our goal is to continue adding products and services at a regular cadence in order to create a digital parenting ecosystem that works together to create a holistic experience for families and leverages the strength of our brand. We believe our robust pipeline of hardware product candidates, including the Owlet Soothe, Owlet Smart Bed and Owlet Humidifier, as well as the development of our software and services, will provide us additional opportunities to sell new products to our existing users, while the Owlet Smart Sock continues to serve as our ‘must-have’ product and the compelling anchor of our ecosystem.
Invest in Clinical Research and Pursue FDA Marketing Authorization to Potentially Open the Door to Coverage and Reimbursement and Telehealth. We plan to grow into the medical and telehealth markets by pursuing FDA marketing authorization of certain products and continuing to invest in clinical research, as exemplified by our recent tachyarrhythmia study published in The Journal of Pediatrics. If we are successful in obtaining marketing authorization from the FDA for the Owlet BabySat, we believe we could build further credibility for our platform with the medical community and help open new medical channels and markets. We are developing the Owlet OTC Smart Sock as Owlet’s medical-grade, over-the-counter version of the Owlet Smart Sock for healthy babies with no underlying medical conditions, and we expect to pursue an expanded intended use and marketing claims, which we believe could lead to further market penetration. We believe that FDA marketing authorization for either of these products would help open the door to expanded services.
Leverage Brand to Expand into New Markets. While our existing primary market is the United States, our goal is to continue to use our operating knowledge to successfully and meaningfully expand into new countries. We plan to capitalize on our expansive and growing ecosystem of offerings and acquire additional market share globally, with heightened focus on Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Initially, we expect to utilize our existing online channels to facilitate geographic expansion. As our retail penetration increases and brand awareness grows outside of the United States, we intend to further leverage retail channels and locations to ensure efficient and strategic global customer acquisition.
Growth through Acquisitions. We intend to further deepen our position as a leader in the digital parenting category by opportunistically pursuing acquisitions of companies, platforms, and technologies that would be accretive and complementary to our existing ecosystem and vision. We plan to seek opportunities, particularly healthcare and software-based services, to expand our technological capabilities and product and service offerings to provide incremental value to our users. We believe our digital parenting ecosystem provides a strong foundation to integrate prospective targets and consolidate a fragmented field of products, further bolstering our market reach and growth trajectory.
Our Competitive Advantages
We believe the following strengths differentiate us from potential competitors and will be the main drivers for our continued success:
Early-Mover Advantage. We are one of the first businesses to connect the nursery through different technologies that work together. Since launching in 2012 and releasing the Owlet Smart Sock in 2015, we have been a disruptor in the digital parenting space. This head start has allowed us to successfully develop a miniaturized biometric monitor, ship the first Smart Sock to customers in 2015, complete clinical trials, and amass a large and growing body of biometric data.
Connected Ecosystem Platform. Our connected ecosystem of digital parenting products and services is designed to create a cohesive user experience for parenting. Because we offer a suite of complementary solutions, customers often choose to purchase multiple offerings, beginning with the Owlet Smart Sock as an anchor and adding the Owlet Cam or Owlet Dream Lab. As we continue to introduce new products and services to fully support parents and children through additional stages of development, we anticipate that our users will continue to adopt and purchase these new products.
Proprietary Data Advantage. Our early-mover advantage in the connected nursery field has afforded us a large and growing infant dataset. This is supported by the 1.5 million parents who have downloaded our application, the 250,000 users per day who are opening our application (as of January 12, 2021), the nine billion heartbeats that we monitor daily, and the over 850,000 babies that have been monitored since the launch of the Owlet Smart Sock. The data from our connected product suite informs our algorithms to reduce inaccuracies and improve user experience. We are also exploring the potential for use of these data to provide unique predictive insights into future potential illnesses and complications as we seek to develop and pursue regulatory
171

TABLE OF CONTENTS

authorizations for our medical-grade product solutions. As our proprietary dataset continues to expand, we expect that any such insights will continue to improve, thereby allowing us to develop even better products and services.
Complementary Technologies. We leverage complementary technologies to provide real-time feedback, analytics, and insights. Our products feature proprietary, low-power biometric monitoring while maintaining extremely low noise and enabling high quality measurements. We employ multiple patented sensors with superior placement in the best locations for infants – the feet. Our algorithms drive accurate biometric readings and have reduced the nuisance alarm rate to a fraction of prior rates. Our products are purpose-built and parent-friendly. Our sleek, comfortable monitors wirelessly transmit reliable, real-time data to users via our application. Together, the combination of our hardware and software is intended to provide parents with peace of mind without disturbing the infant.
Design Features Optimized for In-Home Digital Health. Medical care delivery options have changed dramatically in recent years. Patients and providers are increasingly relying on remote delivery options to supplement or entirely replace care in a clinical setting. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of these trends through future healthcare products and services optimized for remote usage. We anticipate that product candidates in our pipeline, if successfully developed, authorized by the applicable regulatory bodies, and commercialized, may enable parents and medical providers to easily monitor maternal and infant health data remotely on smart devices via our proprietary application. Our current products are uniquely positioned in the consumer and technology industries, with proprietary features that appeal to users and may enable us to grow into healthcare applications. Additionally, because our products and services are mission-critical, we focus on quality and reliability from the earliest stages of research and development, through the supply chain, to the end-user. We invest heavily in ensuring that our products can withstand daily use. From inception, our products are consciously designed and rigorously tested, which translates to a superior in-home monitoring experience.
Robust Multi-channel Distribution Strategy. We have made Owlet products accessible to users around the world. Retail customers are currently able to purchase Owlet either directly online at our website, on Amazon or in-store at over 3,500 retail locations such as buybuyBaby, Target, and Best Buy. Our large and growing distribution footprint allows users to select the channel that is most convenient to them. Additionally, current Owlet products are Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Savings Account (FSA) approved.
Passionate and Experienced Management Team. Our Company was founded by family-focused individuals with an ability to ‘think big’. In addition to being mission-driven, our leadership team has experience in healthcare, software, product, and technology at companies including Specialized, Vivint Smart Home, Under Armour, Amazon, and United Healthcare, with a combined over 100 years of professional experience.
Our Users
The majority of our users are millennials, a brand-conscious and technological savvy generation, with annual income of $50,000 or more. These parents are more likely to be early technology adopters and have a high affinity towards actionable insight to care for their children. This is evidenced by the one-and-a-half million downloads of the Owlet application and increasing social media engagement across our multiple platforms.
Research and Development
We are committed to ongoing research and development, which is responsible for the design, operation, and quality of our products. As of December 31, 2020, our research and development organization included individuals with expertise in fields including engineering, product design, clinical science, consumer electronics, and embedded software design. Our technical capabilities and commitment to innovation have allowed us to deliver significant product enhancements on a rapid development timeline, which we believe has helped us to support a compelling new product roadmap.
Our current research and development efforts are focused on developing an expanded ecosystem, with a wider range of products and services for the connected nursery, including telehealth and medical devices that can be utilized by parents from conception to kindergarten, and future expansion into international markets.
Clinical Research Involving Our Products
We have invested and plan to continue to invest in research projects involving our products. We continue to work on generating safety and efficacy data for our products for medical uses, to help support the pursuit of marketing authorizations by the FDA and other regulatory agency marketing authorizations or other clearances or
172

certifications. If we obtain FDA or other regulatory agency marketing authorization, clearance or certification for our medical devices, we believe the opportunity for parents to use our telehealth platform increases and coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for providers prescribing our authorized, cleared or certified products become possible.
Tachyarrhythmia Study
Supraventricular tachycardia (“SVT”) is the most common arrhythmia found in children, accounting for roughly 97% of all tachyarrhythmia, or rapid heart rate, in infants. Two large, population-based studies that included a total of 2,021 and 2,848 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of SVT, respectively, previously estimated the prevalence of SVT in infants to be between 0.10% and 0.25%. While the studies did not specify the medical monitoring devices used in those studies, a clinical diagnosis of SVT is generally made using an electrocardiogram or Holter monitor. However, a study reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board at the Cleveland Clinic and published in The Journal of Pediatrics found the cumulative incidence of tachyarrhythmia among infants using the Owlet Smart Sock to be higher than those previously reported clinically-diagnosed SVT rates. The tachyarrhythmia study focused on episodes involving a heart rate of at least 240 beats per minute that lasted for more than 60 seconds.
Although the Owlet Smart Sock is a consumer product and not a medical device, study investigators were able to observe more than 202 million total hours of anonymized data from 100,949 babies born between February 2017 and February 2019 and monitored by the Owlet Smart Sock. The investigators identified 5,070 total suspected episodes of tachyarrhythmia in 2,508 infants, for a cumulative incidence of 2.5%.
We believe this study is indicative of the potential power of our data set and could support the future development of products for which we may seek to obtain FDA and other regulatory agency authorization for use in the detection of infant health issues.
Competition
Historically, baby monitors and nursery products have been fragmented product categories with multiple players and limited brand loyalty, and have integrated limited amounts of technology and data into the caregiver’s experience. However, we expect the industry in which we operate will continue to evolve and may be significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Certain potential competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger product portfolios, larger user bases, larger sales forces and greater geographic presence, and have built relationships with retailers and distributors that may be more effective than ours. Our products and services face additional competition from companies developing products and services for use with third-party monitoring systems, as well as from companies that currently market similar products and services of their own, and may face further pressure from technology companies that have not historically operated in our industry.
Continuing technological advances and new product introductions within the home-use childcare electronics and service industry place our products and services at risk of obsolescence. Our long-term success depends upon the development and successful commercialization of new products and services, new or improved technologies and additional applications for our existing technologies, including products or applications that may be subject to the oversight of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities and could require marketing authorization by the FDA or similar approval from comparable foreign regulatory authorities. The research and development process is time-consuming and costly and may not result in products and services or applications that we can successfully commercialize.
We believe that the primary competitive factors in our market are:
product quality and performance, including the size, quality, comfort, battery life, reliability, connectivity of the device to the application and/or monitor, and accuracy of algorithm, with regards to both false negatives and false positives;
customer purchasing experience;
pricing;
product support and service;
effective marketing and education;
173

TABLE OF CONTENTS

brand recognition;
breadth and depth of offerings;
greater market penetration;
technological innovation, product enhancements and speed of innovation; and
sales and distribution capabilities.
We believe our ability to continue to compete effectively in our industry will also depend in part on our ability to respond more quickly and effectively than our peers to new or changing opportunities, technologies, regulatory standards or customer requirements. We anticipate that we will face increased competition in the future as existing companies and competitors develop new or improved products and distribution strategies and as new companies enter the market with new technologies and distribution strategies. Increased competition in the future could adversely affect our revenue, revenue growth rate, margins and market share.
Manufacturing
We rely on several third-party suppliers for single source components used in our devices, including the WiFi chips, microcontrollers, batteries, accelerometers, temperature sensors, plastics and circuit boards.
We follow strict quality guidelines, including a detailed risk-based audit plan following our ISO 9001 quality policy that dictates how often and to what degree we audit our suppliers. We check all quality, regulatory, and safety standards for products that our contract manufacturers make. We deploy a robust manufacturer and supplier selection process including site audits, tooling design and setup quotes, open book pricing, quality specifications, and vendor guides. The Owlet Smart Sock is currently manufactured at ISO 13485 (medical-grade) manufacturing sites to support the future transition of our products to FDA compliant lines. We believe that third-party facilities will be adequate to meet our current and anticipated manufacturing needs. We do not currently plan to manufacture our Owlet Smart Sock, Owlet Cam or any related components ourselves.
Manufacturing Services Agreement with Benchmark Electronics
In October 2017, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement with Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (“Benchmark”), pursuant to which Benchmark provides us certain manufacturing and related services for the production of our Smart Sock out of its facilities in Thailand, including procuring materials and assembling and testing finished products.
The initial term of the agreement expired in October 2018, but the term of the agreement automatically extends for additional one-year periods until either we or Benchmark provide notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the then-current term or extension. Among other things, either party may terminate the agreement for convenience upon 90-day notice, in the case of Owlet, or 180 day notice, in the case of Benchmark, to the other party. Either party may also terminate the agreement under certain other customary conditions, including for uncured breaches of the agreement or if the other party if the other party materials breaches the agreement or in the event of the other party’s insolvency.
In connection with the services provided under the agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Benchmark against certain claims, including infringement of third-party intellectual property rights and noncompliance of our products with safety or other regulations. We are also entitled to customary indemnification rights, subject to certain caps.
Manufacturing Services Agreement with Aoni

In connection with the services provided under the agreement, Aoni has agreed to indemnify us against certain claims and liabilities, including claims arising in connection with product defects, breach of the agreement, negligence and violations of applicable law.
Government Regulation
Certain of our products and our operations could be subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, and other federal and state authorities in the United States, as well as comparable authorities in foreign jurisdictions. For example, certain of our products may be subject to regulation as medical devices in the United States under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, as implemented and enforced by the FDA.
United States Regulation
The FDA regulates the development, design, non-clinical and clinical research, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, packaging, storage, installation, servicing, recordkeeping, premarket clearance or approval, adverse event reporting, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution, and import and export of medical devices to ensure that medical devices distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses and otherwise meet the requirements of the FDCA.
FDA Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements
Unless an exemption applies, each medical device commercially distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a premarket notification submitted under Section 510(k) of the FDCA, or approval of a premarket approval application, or PMA. Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of manufacturer and regulatory control needed to ensure its safety and effectiveness. Class I includes devices with the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be assured by adherence to the FDA’s General Controls for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the Quality System Regulation, or QSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events, and truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising, and promotional materials. Class II devices are subject to the FDA’s General Controls, and special controls as deemed necessary by the FDA to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidance documents.
While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices are required to submit to the FDA a premarket notification under Section 510(k) of the FDCA requesting permission to commercially distribute the device. The FDA’s permission to commercially distribute a device subject to a 510(k) premarket notification is generally known as 510(k) clearance. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risks, such as life sustaining, life supporting or some implantable devices, or devices that have a new intended use, or use advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device, are placed in Class III, requiring approval of a PMA. Some pre-amendment devices are unclassified, but are subject to FDA’s premarket notification and clearance process in order to be commercially distributed.
510(k) Clearance Marketing Pathway
To obtain 510(k) clearance, we must submit to the FDA a premarket notification submission demonstrating that the proposed device is “substantially equivalent” to a legally marketed predicate device. A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval, i.e., a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device) and for which a PMA is not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or a device that was found substantially equivalent through the 510(k) process. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but may take longer. The FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence. In addition, FDA collects user fees for certain medical device submissions and annual fees and for medical device establishments. For fiscal year 2021, the standard user fee for a 510(k) premarket notification submission is $12,432.
If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device currently on the market, it will grant 510(k) clearance to commercially market the device. If the FDA determines that the device is “not
175

TABLE OF CONTENTS

substantially equivalent” to a previously cleared device, the device is automatically designated as a Class III device. The device sponsor must then fulfill more rigorous PMA requirements, or can request a risk-based classification determination for the device in accordance with the “de novo” process, which is a route to market for novel medical devices that are low to moderate risk and are not substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, PMA approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires submission of a 510(k) or a PMA in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision and disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or request the recall of the modified device until such marketing authorization has been granted. Also, in these circumstances, the manufacturer may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.
Over the last several years, the FDA has proposed reforms to its 510(k) clearance process, and such proposals could include increased requirements for clinical data and a longer review period, or could make it more difficult for manufacturers to utilize the 510(k) clearance process for their products. For example, in November 2018, FDA officials announced steps that the FDA intended to take to modernize the 510(k) pathway. Among other things, the FDA announced that it planned to develop proposals to drive manufacturers utilizing the 510(k) pathway toward the use of newer predicates. These proposals included plans to potentially sunset certain older devices that were used as predicates under the 510(k) clearance pathway, and to potentially publish a list of devices that have been cleared on the basis of demonstrated substantial equivalence to predicate devices that are more than 10 years old. These proposals have not yet been finalized or adopted, although the FDA may work with Congress to implement such proposals through legislation.
More recently, in September 2019, the FDA issued revised final guidance describing an optional “safety and performance based” premarket review pathway for manufacturers of “certain, well-understood device types” to demonstrate substantial equivalence under the 510(k) clearance pathway by showing that such device meets objective safety and performance criteria established by the FDA, thereby obviating the need for manufacturers to compare the safety and performance of their medical devices to specific predicate devices in the clearance process. The FDA has developed and maintains a list device types appropriate for the “safety and performance based” pathway and continues to develop product-specific guidance documents that identify the performance criteria for each such device type, as well as the testing methods recommended in the guidance documents, where feasible.
PMA Approval Pathway
Class III devices require PMA approval before they can be marketed, although some pre-amendment Class III devices for which FDA has not yet required a PMA are cleared through the 510(k) process. The PMA process is more demanding than the 510(k) premarket notification process. In a PMA, the manufacturer must demonstrate that the device is safe and effective, and the PMA must be supported by extensive data, including data from preclinical studies and human clinical trials. The PMA must also contain a full description of the device and its components, a full description of the methods, facilities, and controls used for manufacturing, and proposed labeling. Following receipt of a PMA, the FDA determines whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If the FDA accepts the application for review, it has 180 days under the FDCA to complete its review of a PMA, although in practice, the FDA’s review often takes significantly longer, and can take up to several years. An advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. The FDA may or may not accept the panel’s recommendation. In addition, the FDA will generally conduct a pre-approval inspection of the applicant or its third-party manufacturers’ or suppliers’ manufacturing facility or facilities to ensure compliance with the QSR. PMA applications are also subject to the payment of user fees, which for fiscal year 2021 includes a standard application fee of $365,657.
The FDA will approve the new device for commercial distribution if it determines that the data and information in the PMA constitute valid scientific evidence and that there is reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). The FDA may approve a PMA with post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, including, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale and distribution, and collection of long-term follow-up data from patients in the clinical study that supported PMA approval or requirements to conduct additional clinical studies post-approval. The FDA may condition PMA approval
176

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on some form of post-market surveillance when deemed necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and efficacy data for the device in a larger population or for a longer period of use. In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years and to make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Failure to comply with the conditions of approval can result in material adverse enforcement action, including withdrawal of the approval.
Certain changes to an approved device, such as changes in manufacturing facilities, methods, or quality control procedures, or changes in the design performance specifications, which affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, require submission of a PMA supplement. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a PMA, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original PMA and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. Certain other changes to an approved device require the submission of a new PMA, such as when the design change causes a different intended use, mode of operation, and technical basis of operation, or when the design change is so significant that a new generation of the device will be developed, and the data that were submitted with the original PMA are not applicable for the change in demonstrating a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness.
De Novo Classification
Medical device types that the FDA has not previously classified as Class I, II, or III are automatically classified into Class III regardless of the level of risk they pose. The Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 established a new route to market for low to moderate risk medical devices that are automatically placed into Class III due to the absence of a predicate device, called the “Request for Evaluation of Automatic Class III Designation,” or the de novo classification procedure. This procedure allows a manufacturer whose novel device is automatically classified into Class III to request down-classification of its medical device into Class I or Class II on the basis that the device presents low or moderate risk, rather than requiring the submission and approval of a PMA application. Prior to the enactment of the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, or FDASIA, in July 2012, a medical device could only be eligible for de novo classification if the manufacturer first submitted a 510(k) premarket notification and received a determination from the FDA that the device was not substantially equivalent. FDASIA streamlined the de novo classification pathway by permitting manufacturers to request de novo classification directly without first submitting a 510(k) premarket notification to the FDA and receiving a not substantially equivalent determination.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are almost always required to support a PMA and de novo classification and are sometimes required to support a 510(k) submission. All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s investigational device exemption, or IDE, regulations which govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor to submit an IDE application to the FDA, which must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. If the device under evaluation does not present a significant risk to human health, then the device sponsor is not required to submit an IDE application to the FDA before initiating human clinical trials, but must still comply with abbreviated IDE requirements when conducting such trials. A significant risk device is one that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety or welfare of a patient and either is implanted, used in supporting or sustaining human life, substantially important in diagnosing, curing, mitigating or treating disease or otherwise preventing impairment of human health, or otherwise presents a potential for serious risk to a subject. An IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory test results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the company that the investigation may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE for which it requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval.
Regardless of the degree of risk presented by the medical device, clinical studies must be approved by, and conducted under the oversight of, an Institutional Review Board, or IRB, for each clinical site. The IRB is responsible for the initial and continuing review of the IDE, and may impose additional requirements for the
177

TABLE OF CONTENTS

conduct of the study. If an IDE application is approved by the FDA and one or more IRBs, human clinical trials may begin at a specific number of investigational sites with a specific number of patients, as approved by the FDA. If the device presents a non-significant risk to the patient, a sponsor may begin the clinical trial after obtaining approval for the trial by one or more IRBs without separate approval from the FDA, but must still follow abbreviated IDE requirements, such as monitoring the investigation, ensuring that the investigators obtain informed consent, and complying with labeling and record-keeping requirements. In some cases, an IDE supplement must be submitted to, and approved by, the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study plan or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects.
During a study, the sponsor is required to comply with the applicable FDA requirements, including, for example, trial monitoring, selecting clinical investigators and providing them with the investigational plan, ensuring IRB review, adverse event reporting, record keeping and prohibitions on the promotion of investigational devices or on making safety or effectiveness claims for them. The clinical investigators in the clinical study are also subject to FDA’s regulations and must obtain patient informed consent, rigorously follow the investigational plan and study protocol, control the disposition of the investigational device, and comply with all reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Additionally, after a trial begins, we, the FDA or the IRB could suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits.
Post-market Regulation
After a device is cleared or approved for marketing, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:
establishment registration and device listing with the FDA;
QSR requirements, which require manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the design and manufacturing process;
labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of investigational products, or the promotion of “off-label” uses of cleared or approved products;
requirements related to promotional activities;
clearance or approval of product modifications to 510(k)-cleared devices that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices, or approval of certain modifications to PMA-approved devices;
medical device reporting regulations, which require that a manufacturer report to the FDA if a device it markets may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned and the device or a similar device that it markets would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, if the malfunction were to recur;
correction, removal and recall reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections and product recalls or removals if undertaken to reduce a risk to health posed by the device or to remedy a violation of the FDCA that may present a risk to health;
the FDA’s recall authority, whereby the agency can order device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations; and
post-market surveillance activities and regulations, which apply when deemed by the FDA to be necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.
Manufacturing processes for medical devices are required to comply with the applicable portions of the QSR, which cover the methods and the facilities and controls for the design, manufacture, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, distribution, installation and servicing of finished devices intended for human use. The QSR also requires, among other things, maintenance of a device master file, device history file, and complaint files. As a manufacturer, we are subject to periodic scheduled and unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Failure to maintain compliance with the QSR requirements could result in the shut-down of, or restrictions on, manufacturing operations and the recall or seizure of marketed products. The discovery of previously unknown
178

TABLE OF CONTENTS

problems with any marketed products, including unanticipated adverse events or adverse events of increasing severity or frequency, whether resulting from the use of the device within the scope of its clearance or approval, or off-label by a physician in the practice of medicine, could result in restrictions on the device, including the removal of the product from the market or voluntary or mandatory device recalls.
The FDA has broad regulatory compliance and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that a manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can take a variety of compliance or enforcement actions, which may result in any of the following sanctions:
warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;
recalls, withdrawals, or administrative detention or seizure of our products;
operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;
refusing or delaying requests for 510(k) clearance or PMA approvals of new products or modified products;
withdrawing 510(k) clearances or PMA approvals that have already been granted;
refusal to grant export approvals for our products; or
criminal prosecution.
Foreign Government Regulation
In addition to U.S. regulations, we are subject to a variety of foreign government regulations applicable to general consumer products and medical devices.
Regulation of General Consumer Products
In the EEA, consumer products must comply with the General Product Safety Directive No 2001/95/EC. This Directive covers all products intended for consumers or likely to be used by consumers, placed onto the EEA market, unless a specific product safety regulation applies. The General Product Safety Directive provides safety and conformity requirements as well as post-market surveillance obligations for manufacturers and importers. Manufacturers must undertake and document a conformity assessment that covers the risks and risk categories associated with the product. The recommended method of undertaking such an assessment is through the application of voluntary European Harmonized Standards, but other options are available, such as using European Commission guidelines and using product safety codes of good practice. The required conformity assessment consists of a self-assessment with no requirement to involve a third party. Manufacturers also have the obligation to report to the national competent authorities of the different EEA Member States any risks to the consumer that are incompatible with the general safety requirements. The Directive further imposes other obligations such as collecting information related to use of products after they have been made available to consumers.
Additional regulations may apply to our products and impose further requirements, including the possible application of EU Regulation No 1007/2011 on textile products, which imposes specific labeling and marking requirements. In addition, we may also need to comply with requirements set forth by RoHs Directive No 2011/65/EU, which imposes specific restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, and/or the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”) Regulation (EU) No 1907/2006, which restricts substances of very high concern and imposes substance registration requirements.
Contrary to EU regulations (which are directly applicable in all EEA Member States), directives must be implemented by individual Member States and may be applied in a way that is not always uniform across the EEA. In addition, Member States determine the penalties applicable to infringements of the national provisions adopted pursuant to the General Product Safety Directive and other directives and shall take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented. Additional national requirements may be applicable to our products, as well.
Regulation of Medical Devices
There is currently no premarket government review of medical devices in the EEA. However, all medical devices placed on the market in the EEA must meet the relevant essential requirements laid down in Annex I of Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices, referred to as the “Medical Devices Directive” or “MDD.”
179

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The most fundamental essential requirement is that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that it will not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and others. In addition, the device must achieve the performance intended by the manufacturer and be designed, manufactured, and packaged in a suitable manner. The European Commission has adopted various standards applicable to medical devices. These include standards governing common requirements, such as safety of medical electrical equipment and product standards for certain types of medical devices. There are also harmonized standards relating to design and manufacture. While not mandatory, compliance with these standards is viewed as the easiest way to satisfy the essential requirements as a practical matter. Compliance with a standard developed to implement an essential requirement also creates a rebuttable presumption that the device satisfies that essential requirement.
To demonstrate compliance with the essential requirements laid down in Annex I to the Medical Devices Directive, medical device manufacturers must undergo a conformity assessment procedure, which varies according to the type of medical device and its risk classification. Conformity assessment procedures require an assessment of available clinical evidence, literature data for the product, and post-market experience in respect of similar products already marketed. Except for low-risk medical devices (Class I non-sterile, non-measuring devices), where the manufacturer can self-declare the conformity of its products with the essential requirements (except for any parts which relate to sterility or metrology), a conformity assessment procedure requires the intervention of a Notified Body. Notified Bodies are organizations designated by an EU country to assess the conformity of certain products before being placed on the market. These bodies carry out tasks related to conformity assessment procedures set out in the legislation and typically audit and examine a product’s technical dossiers and the manufacturers’ quality system. If satisfied that the relevant product conforms to the relevant essential requirements, the Notified Body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own declaration of conformity. The manufacturer may then apply the CE Mark to the device, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EEA. Once the product has been placed on the market in the EEA, the manufacturer must comply with requirements for reporting incidents and field safety corrective actions associated with the medical device.
In order to demonstrate safety and efficacy for their medical devices, manufacturers must conduct clinical investigations in accordance with the requirements of the MDD and applicable European and International Organization for Standardization standards, as implemented or adopted in the EEA Member States. Clinical investigations for medical devices usually require the approval of an ethics review board and approval by or notification to the national regulatory authorities. Both regulators and ethics committees also require the submission of serious adverse event reports during a study and may request a copy of the final study report.
On May 25, 2017, the new MDR entered into force, which repeals and notably replaces the EU MDD. Unlike directives, which must be implemented into the national laws of the EEA Member States, regulations are directly applicable in all EEA Member States without the need for adoption of EEA Member State laws implementing them, and are intended to eliminate current differences in the regulation of medical devices among EEA Member States. The MDR, among other things, was intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable, and sustainable regulatory framework across the EEA for medical devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation. The MDR was due to become applicable in May 2021, but in light of COVID-19, on April 23, 2020, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU adopted a proposal to extend the transitional period of the MDR by one year, i.e. until May 26, 2021. However, devices lawfully placed on the market pursuant to the MDD prior to May 26, 2021 may generally continue to be made available on the market or put into service until May 26, 2025. Once applicable, the new regulations will among other things:
strengthen the rules on placing devices on the market and reinforce surveillance once they are available;
establish explicit provisions on manufacturers’ responsibilities for the follow-up of the quality, performance, and safety of devices placed on the market;
improve the traceability of medical devices throughout the supply chain to the end-user or patient through a unique identification number;
set up a central database to provide patients, healthcare professionals, and the public with comprehensive information on products available in the EU;
180

TABLE OF CONTENTS

strengthen the rules for the assessment of certain high-risk devices, such as implants, which may have to undergo an additional check by experts before they are placed on the market.
Following the end of the “Brexit” Transition Period, from January 1, 2021 onwards, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) will be responsible for the UK medical device market. The new regulations will require medical devices to be registered with the agency (but manufacturers will be given a grace period of four to 12 months to comply with the new registration process). Manufacturers based outside the UK will need to appoint a UK Responsible Person to register devices with the MHRA in line with the grace periods. By July 1, 2023, in the UK (England, Scotland, and Wales), all medical devices will require a UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) mark but CE marks issued by EU notified bodies will remain valid until this date. However, UKCA marking alone will not be recognized in the EU. The rules for placing medical devices on the Northern Ireland market will differ from those in the UK.
Similarly, we are subject to regulations and product registration requirements in many foreign countries in which we may sell our products, including in the areas of:
design, development, manufacturing, and testing;
product standards;
product safety;
product safety reporting;
marketing, sales, and distribution;
packaging and storage requirements;
labeling requirements;
content and language of instructions for use;
record keeping procedures;
advertising and promotion;
recalls and field corrective actions;
import and export restrictions; and
tariff regulations, duties, and tax requirements;
We may also become subject to the following additional requirements in many foreign countries in which we may sell future medical devices, including in the areas of:
clinical testing;
post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, could lead to death or serious injury;
registration for reimbursement; and
necessity of testing performed in country by distributors for licensees.
Other Healthcare Laws and Regulations
Other Healthcare Laws
Medical device manufacturers are subject to additional healthcare regulation and enforcement by the federal government and by authorities in the states and foreign jurisdictions in which they conduct their business and may constrain the financial arrangements and relationships through which we research, as well as, sell, market and distribute any products for which we obtain marketing approval. Such laws include, without limitation, federal and state anti-kickback, fraud and abuse, false claims, and physician and other healthcare provider payment transparency laws and regulations. If their operations are found to be in violation of any of such laws or any other governmental regulations that apply, they may be subject to penalties, including, without limitation, administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, the curtailment or restructuring of operations, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs and imprisonment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Coverage and Reimbursement
Sales of any product that we may develop and for which we may obtain marketing authorization from the FDA and/or comparable foreign regulatory authorities depend, in part, on the extent to which such product will be covered by third-party payors, such as federal, state, and foreign government healthcare programs, commercial insurance and managed healthcare organizations, and the level of reimbursement for such product by third-party payors. Even though a new product may have been cleared or otherwise authorized for commercial distribution by the FDA, we may find limited demand for the product unless and until reimbursement approval has been obtained from governmental and private third-party payors.
Decisions regarding the extent of coverage and amount of reimbursement to be provided are made on a plan-by-plan basis. These third-party payors are increasingly reducing reimbursements for medical devices and services. In addition, the U.S. government, state legislatures and foreign governments have continued implementing cost-containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements for substitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost-containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could further limit sales of any product. Decreases in third-party reimbursement for any product or a decision by a third-party payor not to cover the product or the services associated with the product could reduce physician usage and patient demand for the product and also have a material adverse effect on sales.
Healthcare Reform
The United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products that obtain marketing authorization from the FDA and/or comparable foreign regulatory authorities profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality or expanding access. Current and future legislative proposals to further reform healthcare or reduce healthcare costs may limit coverage of or lower reimbursement for the services associated with the use of our products. The cost containment measures that payors and providers are instituting and the effect of any healthcare reform initiative implemented in the future could impact our revenue from the sale of our products.
In the United States, the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, for example, has changed healthcare financing and delivery by both governmental and private insurers substantially, and affected medical device manufacturers significantly. The ACA included, among other things, incentives to programs that increase the federal government’s comparative effectiveness research, and implemented payment system reforms including a national pilot program on payment bundling to encourage hospitals, physicians and other providers to improve the coordination, quality and efficiency of certain healthcare services through bundled payment models. Additionally, the ACA expanded eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs and created a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, along with funding for such research. Since its enactment, there have been executive, judicial and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the ACA. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing the constitutionality of the ACA in its entirety.
In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the ACA was enacted. For example, the Budget Control Act of 2011, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to providers by 2% per fiscal year, effective on April 1, 2013 and, due to subsequent legislative amendments to the statute, will remain in effect through 2030, with the exception of a temporary suspension from May 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021, unless additional Congressional action is taken. Additionally, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, among other things, reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals, and increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 repealed the formula by which Medicare made annual payment adjustments to physicians and replaced the former formula with fixed annual updates and a new system of incentive payments, which began in 2019, that are based on various performance measures and physicians’ participation in alternative payment models, such as accountable care organizations.
We expect additional state and federal healthcare reform measures to be adopted in the future, any of which could limit the amounts that federal and state governments will pay for healthcare products and services, which could result in reduced demand for our products for which we obtain marketing authorization or additional pricing pressure.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Data Privacy and Security
Numerous state, federal and foreign laws, including consumer protection laws and regulations, govern the collection, dissemination, use, access to, confidentiality and security of personal information, including health-related information. In the United States, numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including data breach notification laws, health information privacy and security laws, including HIPAA, and federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations (e.g., Section 5 of the FTC Act), that govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information could apply to our operations or the operations of our partners. In addition, certain state and non-U.S. laws, such as the CCPA and the GDPR, govern the privacy and security of personal data, including health-related data in certain circumstances, some of which are more stringent than HIPAA and many of which differ from each other in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts. Failure to comply with these laws, where applicable, can result in the imposition of significant civil and/or criminal penalties and private litigation. Privacy and security laws, regulations, and other obligations are constantly evolving, may conflict with each other to complicate compliance efforts, and can result in investigations, proceedings, or actions that lead to significant civil and/or criminal penalties and restrictions on data processing.
Telemedicine
We intend to develop and market telehealth/telemedicine services internationally and may be subject to additional regulations and requirements governing such services. The provision of telemedicine services, which are considered healthcare services, is not regulated or harmonized at EU/EEA level and we would therefore need to comply with individual regulations in each EEA Member State as well as other foreign jurisdictions.
Other Foreign Healthcare Laws
The advertising and promotion of both consumer products and medical devices is subject to EU directives concerning misleading and comparative advertising and unfair commercial practices and specific EEA Member State legislation governing the advertising and promotion of these respective products.
EEA Member State laws related to the advertising and promotion of medical devices, which vary between jurisdictions, may limit or restrict the advertising and promotion of our products to the general public and may impose limitations on our promotional activities with healthcare professionals.
Many EEA Member States have adopted specific anti-gift statutes that further limit commercial practices for medical devices, in particular vis-à-vis healthcare professionals and organizations. Additionally, there has been a recent trend of increased regulation of payments and transfers of value provided to healthcare professionals or entities.
In addition, many EEA Member States have adopted national “Sunshine Acts” which impose reporting and transparency requirements (often on an annual basis) similar to the requirements in the U.S., on medical device manufacturers. Certain foreign countries also mandate implementation of commercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on device manufacturer marketing practices and require tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation, and other remuneration to healthcare professionals and entities.
Anti-Bribery and Corruption Laws
We may also be subject to similar anticorruption legislation implemented in Europe through EU Member State laws and under the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions.
Intellectual Property
Since inception, we have been methodical around our intellectual property strategy. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and confidentiality and invention assignment agreements to protect our intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2020, we had 33 issued patents (with numerous others pending) and 38 registered trademarks. Our patents include utility patents covering technology ranging from placement of electrodes to the base of the baby monitor. We have foreign patents and patent applications pending in the EU, Australia, Canada, and China. Our issued patents with claims generally directed to an infant sock comprised of a sensing device in a sleeve in the sock and a strap are expected to expire in the United States in 2032 and in China in 2035. Our issued patents with claims generally directed to placement of
183

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fabric electrodes and assembly of such are each expected to expire in the United States, the EU, Australia, China and Canada in 2038. Pending applications in the aforementioned countries will have expiration dates between 2034 and 2040. We continually review our development efforts to assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property.
Our pending patent applications may not result in issued patents, and we cannot assure you that any current or subsequently issued patents will protect our intellectual property rights. Third parties may challenge certain patents issued to us as invalid, may independently develop similar or competing technologies or may design around any of our patents. We cannot be certain that any of the steps we have taken will prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights in these countries as fully as in the United States.
As of December 31, 2020, we had 38 trademark registrations and seven pending trademark applications worldwide. In addition, we have registered domain names for websites that we use in our business, such as www.owletcare.com.
Ayla Subscription Agreement
In May 2014, we entered into a subscription agreement with Ayla Networks, Inc. (“Ayla”), pursuant to which Ayla has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty free license to certain cloud services and product software used in our Smart Sock product and to support the transfer of data to the cloud and back to Owlet and the customer.
The initial term of the agreement expired in December 2015, but we have extended the term of the agreement until January 1, 2022. We may terminate the agreement at any time. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ notice if the other party materially breaches the agreement.
Under the agreement, we have agreed to indemnify Ayla against certain claims arising in connection with or breach of the agreement or our use, or misuse, of the services provided by Ayla under the agreement. We are also entitled to indemnification from Ayla under certain scenarios arising from third-party claims of intellectual property infringement by Ayla.
In connection with the subscription agreement, we also entered into a data processing agreement with Ayla, pursuant to which Ayla has agreed to implement appropriate data security measures and treat all personal data as strictly confidential.
Service and License Agreement with ThroughTek
In January 2018, we entered into a service and license agreement with ThroughTek Co., Ltd. (“TUTK”), pursuant to which TUTK has granted us a non-exclusive, royalty free license to its “Kalay” platform. TUTK provides the data transfer services from the Owlet Cam to the Owlet application so users can view the video feed.
Under the agreement, we paid an initial license fee of $25,000 plus a low-single digit dollar amount per device license fee to access TUTK’s services (“UID”). The UID cost per unit is subject to change at any time by our mutual agreement, but shall not increase by more than a low single-digit percentage per year. We also pay certain negotiated services fees to TUTK, which are also subject to a low single digit percentage increase.
The initial term of the agreement expired in January 2021, but automatically renewed for an additional one-year period. The agreement will continue to renew for one-year periods, unless terminated by us or TUTK at least 90 days prior to the end of the then-current renewal period. Among other things, either party may terminate the agreement under certain customary conditions, including for non-payment, uncured breaches of the agreement or in the event of the other party’s insolvency.
In connection with the services provided under the agreement, we and TUTK have agreed to mutually indemnify the other party against certain claims resulting from infringement of third-party intellectual property.
Environmental Matters
Our operations, properties and products are subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, management and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and waste and remediation of releases of hazardous materials. We
184

TABLE OF CONTENTS

believe, based on current information that we are in material compliance with environmental laws and regulations applicable to us. However, our failure to comply with present and future requirements under these laws and regulations, or environmental contamination or releases of hazardous materials on our leased premises, as well as through disposal of our products, could cause us to incur substantial costs, including clean-up costs, personal injury and property damage claims, fines and penalties, costs to redesign our products or upgrade our facilities and legal costs, or require us to curtail our operations, any of which could seriously harm our business.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters are located in Lehi, Utah, where we lease approximately 120,000 square feet of office, research and development, engineering and laboratory space pursuant to a lease agreement that is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2024. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate to meet our business requirements for the near-term, and that additional space will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if required.
Employees
As of December 31, 2020, we had 112 full-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good. Our human capital resources objectives include, as applicable, identifying, recruiting, retaining, incentivizing and integrating our existing and additional employees. The principal purposes of our equity incentive plans are to attract, retain and motivate selected employees, consultants and directors through the granting of stock-based compensation awards and cash-based performance bonus awards.
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. However, in the ordinary course of business we face various claims brought by third parties, and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property rights as well as claims relating to employment matters and the safety or efficacy of our products. Any of these claims could subject us to costly litigation, and, while we generally believe that we have adequate insurance to cover many different types of liabilities, our insurance carriers may deny coverage, may be inadequately capitalized to pay on valid claims, or our policy limits may be inadequate to fully satisfy any damage awards or settlements. If this were to happen, the payment of any such awards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any such claims, whether or not successful, could damage our reputation and business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF OWLET
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the sections titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” “Summary Historical Financial Information of Owlet,” “Information About Owlet” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of Owlet’s control. Owlet’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Owlet’s Business and Industry” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Owlet does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us” or “Owlet” refer to the business of Owlet Baby Care Inc. and its subsidiary prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of Owlet, Inc. and its subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.
Overview
Our mission is to empower parents with the right information at the right time, to give them more peace of mind and help them find more joy in the journey of parenting. Our digital parenting platform aims to give parents real-time data and insights to help parents feel calmer and more confident. We believe that every parent deserves peace of mind and the opportunity to feel their well-rested best. We also believe that every child deserves to live a long, happy, and healthy life, and we are working to develop products to help facilitate that belief. Our diversified and connected portfolio of products currently includes the award-winning Owlet Smart Sock, the first baby monitor to track an infant’s oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep trends; the Owlet Cam, which turns any smartphone into a baby monitor with high-definition clarity; the Owlet Monitor Duo, which offers the intelligence of the Owlet Smart Sock paired with the Owlet Cam; and Owlet Dream Lab, an interactive online program designed to be a parent’s guide to building healthy sleep habits for their infants.
Since our inception, we have been engaged in developing and marketing our products and content. We have incurred net operating losses and have generated negative cash flows from operations in every year since our inception. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $71.7 million and $61.2 million, respectively. Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuances of convertible preferred stock, borrowings under our loan facilities, issuances of related party convertible notes, and sales of our products and services.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth and future success of our business depends on many factors. While we believe that each of these factors present significant opportunities for our business, each factor also poses risks and challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth and continue to improve our results of operations.
Penetration with Existing Products
Our growth will depend, in large part, on our continued ability to attract new customers with our existing products, including our anchor product, the Owlet Smart Sock. While we see ample room for additional market penetration for our existing products, if we are unable to acquire new customers in a cost-effective and efficient manner, our financial performance may be impacted. We plan to bring existing Owlet products to more families and further improve our market position by growing distribution with existing and new retailers and by leveraging our brand and marketing efforts. However, changes in consumer taste, sentiment for our brand, or the regulatory environment in jurisdictions in which we sell our products could impact our ability to attract new customers.
186

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Expanding the Digital Parenting Ecosystem
Our growth will also be reliant upon our ability to introduce new and innovative products that will drive organic growth. We plan to continue adding connected products and content that drive our mission of empowering parents with the right information at the right time. We expect that the expansion of our connected ecosystem of offerings will allow us to deepen our relationships with existing customers through increased lifetime value and create additional efficiencies for our customer acquisition efforts. We expect that these future offerings, and especially future software solutions, will be an important component of our ability to continue to improve our gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the future. Should we be unable to expand our suite of hardware and software solutions, our financial performance and customer lifetime value may be negatively impacted.
Medical Devices & Telehealth Opportunities
We are developing two variations of the Owlet Smart Sock, the Owlet BabySat and the Owlet OTC Smart Sock, as medical devices that would require marketing authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) before they could be sold in the United States, as well as the Owlet Band, a pregnancy band with certain features that may require marketing authorization from the FDA. If we are able to obtain FDA marketing authorization for our Owlet BabySat, Owlet OTC Smart Sock and Owlet Band products, we believe that these products will allow us to directly engage medical professionals to share infant sleep and health data, and provide an end-to-end digital healthcare solution for our customers. We have made and continue to make substantial investments in clinical research and in seeking FDA marketing authorization to potentially allow for third-party payor coverage and reimbursement and telehealth opportunities. Our potential future medical device offerings are being designed to build credibility and deepen market penetration. Our future telehealth offerings would be designed to make home care easier for parents and physicians alike. While we believe the combination of these two initiatives, if successful, would further strengthen our position in our industry, the success of these initiatives is largely predicated upon receiving FDA marketing authorization.
International Expansion
While the United States is currently our primary market, we plan to leverage our connected ecosystem of offerings to acquire market share globally, with a heightened focus on Europe, Asia, and Latin America. We intend to continue to invest in our supply chain to support our international expansion efforts; however, should we underestimate or overestimate demand in new geographical markets, we may experience inefficiencies in our supply chain or other areas of our business, which could result in financial losses. Additionally, expanded global reach may expose us to additional foreign currency risk, international taxes and tariffs, legal obligations, additional operational costs and other challenges.
Recent Developments
Impact of COVID-19
There continues to be worldwide impact from the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 includes changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears, market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, which have created significant volatility in the global economy that has led to reduced economic activity. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our cash flow, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments that are uncertain.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we temporarily limited access to our headquarters and encouraged our employees and contractors to work remotely, where possible, in accordance with local public health recommendations, each of which represented a significant change in how we operate our business. In light of the pandemic, we expect to continue to take actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interest of our employees.
We have experienced relatively minor impacts on our inventory availability and delivery capacity since the outbreak, neither of which has materially impacted our ability to service our customers. We continue to work with our existing manufacturing, logistics and other supply chain partners to build key processes to ensure that our ability to service our customers is not significantly disrupted. Ongoing actions to bolster key aspects of the
187

TABLE OF CONTENTS

supply chain to support our continued growth include geographically diversifying manufacturing operations to ensure adequate manufacturing capacity and to shorten transit times, implementing alternative order fulfillment options to reduce warehousing costs, developing contingency plans for unexpected third-party manufacturing disruptions, and increasing headcount dedicated to managing and optimizing supply chain processes.
Business Combination and Public Company Costs
On February 15, 2021, Owlet entered into the Business Combination Agreement, whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet, with Owlet surviving the Merger. Owlet will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandbridge and Sandbridge will immediately be renamed “Owlet, Inc.”
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will become an SEC-registered and New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listed company, which will require us to hire additional staff and implement processes and procedures to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We expect to incur additional annual expenses for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting, legal and administrative resources and fees.
Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare and present our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). However, management uses earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) as a key measure to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, EBITDA is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. As a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
EBITDA does not reflect the amounts we paid in taxes or other components of our tax expense;
EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies may use adjusted EBITDA, or measures labeled similarly to EBITDA, which may be calculated differently and limit its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA should be considered alongside, and not in lieu of, our other financial performance measures, including our financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Components of Operating Results
Revenues
We recognize revenue from the following sources: (1) products, (2) mobile applications, and (3) content. Revenues are recognized when control of goods and services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received by us in exchange for those goods and services. Approximately 97% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were derived from product sales.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists of product costs, including contract manufacturing, shipping and handling, depreciation of tooling and manufacturing equipment, warranty replacement, fulfillment costs, warehousing, hosting, and reserves for excess and obsolete inventory.
Operating Expenses
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, and bonuses for finance and accounting, legal, human resources and administrative executives and employees; third-party legal, accounting, and other professional services; corporate travel and entertainment; depreciation and amortization of property and equipment; and facilities rent.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods compared to periods prior to the Business Combination as a result of additional costs related to being a public company, including Exchange Act reporting expenses; expenses associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance; incremental independent auditor fees; incremental legal fees; investor relations expenses; registrar and transfer agent fees; incremental director and officer liability insurance costs; and director compensation. We also anticipate that we will experience an increase in general and administrative expenses compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 as a result of more ordinary course activities that have been suspended or limited during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation, commissions, and bonuses for sales and marketing employees and contractors; third-party marketing expenses such as social media and search engine marketing; email marketing and print marketing.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, stock-based compensation, and bonuses for employees and contractors engaged in the design, development, maintenance and testing of our products and platforms.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest Expense. Interest expense consists primarily of interest incurred on our outstanding borrowings and amortization of the associated deferred financing costs.
Interest Income. Interest income consists of interest earned on our money market account.
Preferred Stock Mark to Market Adjustment. Preferred stock mark to market adjustment consists of adjustments made to mark to market the preferred stock warrants liability.
Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net includes our net gain (loss) on foreign exchange transactions, loss on extinguishment of debt, and sublease income.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax provision consists primarily of U.S. federal and state income taxes related to the tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business.

Cost of revenues increased $12.6 million, or 47.0%, from $26.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $39.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volume of 49%. Gross margin increased to 47.6% for 2020 from 46.0% for 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a decrease in discounts provided to customers as part of a shift in overall market strategy and a decrease in fulfillment shipping costs per order for the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we decreased our discretionary spending as a precautionary response to COVID-19. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in future periods as we begin to resume ordinary course activities that have been suspended or limited during COVID-19, incur additional headcount costs to support our continued growth, and incur other costs related to being a public company.

Sales and marketing expense increased $3.9 million, or 25.7%, from $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $19.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by increases in digital advertising spend, payroll-related expenses from additional sales and marketing headcount, stock-based compensation primarily from an increase in our valuation, and in-store advertising expenses. Sales and marketing expense decreased to 25.5% as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 from 30.8% as a percentage of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily as a result of changes in marketing strategies, including strategy changes resulting from COVID-19. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase in future periods as we drive sales growth through new and existing marketing initiatives and expansion into additional international markets.

The increase in the preferred stock warrant liability was primarily due to a higher fair market value of our preferred stock, which principally resulted from the letter of intent received from Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation. Other income (expense), net decreased $0.3 million, or (222.2)%, from $0.1 million in other income for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $(0.2) million in other expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Income tax provision remained relatively constant for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Our effective tax rate was approximately 0.2% and 0.0% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, due to a full valuation allowance recorded to offset our deferred tax assets.
The valuation allowance increased $2.0 million, or 14.3%, from $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in our valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily due to an increase in interest expense limitations and an increase in net operating loss carryforwards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Leading up to the proposed Business Combination, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from issuances of our convertible preferred stock, borrowings under our loan facilities, issuances of convertible promissory notes, and sales of our products and services. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively.
Funding Requirements
Since inception, we have generated recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $71.7 million and $61.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and expect to incur additional losses in the future. As a result of our history of losses and negative cash flows from operations, and because our plans to obtain additional capital have not been completed at the time of the issuance of our consolidated financial statements, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that our consolidated financial statements are available to be issued, March 30, 2022. We believe the cash we expect to obtain from the Business Combination and PIPE Investment, if consummated, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations, would be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. However, we are still in the growth stage of our business and expect to continue to make substantial investments in our business, including in the expansion of our product portfolio and in our research and development, sales and marketing teams, in addition to incurring additional costs as a result of being a public company. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or that we will generate sufficient future revenues. Failure to secure additional funding may require us to modify, delay, or abandon some of our planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and ability to achieve our intended business objectives.
Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank
We had an amended and restated loan and security agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) as of December 31, 2020 (the “A&R LSA”), which we entered into on April 22, 2020, and which replaced the loan and security agreement that was in place as of December 31, 2019 (the “Original LSA”). These agreements provided us with both a line of credit (the “SVB Revolver”) and a term loan (the “Term Loan”).
192

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our borrowing capacity under the SVB Revolver was $12.5 million and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.5% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 6.0% at all other times. As of December 31, 2019, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.75% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 6.25% at all other times. Each streamline period commences the first day of the month following a written report of our liquidity and ends the first day after we fail to maintain a required cash and cash availability streamline threshold, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, SVB may maintain our streamline status at its discretion. The required cash and cash availability streamline threshold was $7.0 million and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and we were within a streamline period as of both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The actual interest rate on the SVB Revolver was 5.5% and 5.75% as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The SVB Revolver is subject to renewal and is scheduled to mature on April 22, 2022.
As of December 31, 2019, our Term Note had an aggregate principal balance of $7.0 million, and an interest rate equal to the greater of the prime rate plus 1.00%, or 6.00%. As of December 31, 2019, our Term Note required interest-only payments through April 30, 2020, followed by 30 equal monthly payments of principal beginning on May 1, 2020. On April 22, 2020, we amended our Term Note, which allowed us to borrow an additional $1.0 million at closing, extended the interest-only period through April 30, 2021, and modified the interest rate to be the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 4.50%, or 7.50%. The amendment also included a provision to further extend the interest-only period through October 31, 2021 and allow us to borrow an additional $2.0 million if we achieved a specified gross profit milestone for the year ended December 31, 2020. On September 22, 2020, we further amended our Term Note to change the repayment term from 36 consecutive equal monthly payments of principal to 30 consecutive equal monthly payments of principal beginning on November 1, 2021 and modified the interest rate to the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 3.50%, or 6.50%. We achieved our gross profit milestone and borrowed $2.0 million in December 2020. The Term Note had an aggregate principal balance of $10.0 million as of December 31, 2020. The Term Note matures on April 1, 2024.
The Original LSA and the A&R LSA both required that we meet certain financial covenants. Under the Original LSA, in effect as of December 31, 2019, the financial covenants included the satisfaction of both a maximum cumulative trailing 3-month loss threshold (based on a calculation of EBITDA, plus stock-based compensation expense) and a minimum cash and cash availability requirement. We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of December 31, 2019. Under the A&R LSA, in effect as of December 31, 2020, the financial covenant required the satisfaction of a maximum year-to-date loss threshold (based on a calculation of EBITDA, plus stock-based compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of debt). We were not in compliance with this financial covenant as of December 31, 2020. On March 10, 2021, we amended the A&R LSA (as amended, the “LSA”) to, among other things, waive the existing default and waive any rights and remedies against the Company with respect to the existing default, which includes the financial covenant noncompliance, consent to the merger (see Note 18), and amendments to other provisions of the loan agreement. The amended LSA also set forth new financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain cash and cash availability of at least $6.0 million as of the last day of each month beginning on March 31, 2021, a requirement to complete a qualifying liquidity event with aggregate new net proceeds of at least $50.0 million in cash on or before May 31, 2021, and a requirement to agree to terms with SVB on a 2021 EBITDA covenant no later than July 15, 2021.
Our borrowings under the LSA are secured by substantially all of our current and future assets.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In April 2020, we applied for and received proceeds from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in the amount of $2.1 million, with SVB as lender for the loan (the “PPP Loan”), under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was considered necessary to support our ongoing operations due to economic uncertainty at the time resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced access to alternative sources of liquidity.
The PPP Loan accrues interest on the outstanding principal at a rate of 1.0% per annum and is subject to the terms and conditions applicable to loans administered by the SBA. The term of the PPP Loan is two years,
193

TABLE OF CONTENTS

unless payment is required sooner in connection with an event of default under the PPP Loan. To the extent the PPP Loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, we are obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest for eight months beginning September 22, 2021, until the maturity date of April 22, 2022.
The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, we applied for forgiveness for all of the PPP Loan. However, the SBA has not made a decision related to our application for forgiveness. We expect substantially all of the PPP Loan to be forgiven by the SBA.
As of December 31, 2020, $10.0 million, $9.7 million, and $2.1 million in aggregate principal amount was outstanding under the Term Note, the SVB Revolver, and the PPP Loan, respectively.
Related Party Convertible Promissory Notes
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we issued $6.5 million in related party convertible promissory notes. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 5.00% per annum and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due on the earlier of August 9, 2021 or upon the closing of a change of control, as defined in the convertible note agreements. If a change of control occurs prior to August 9, 2021, and the notes have not already converted, the holders of the convertible promissory notes will receive all outstanding principal and interest plus an amount equal to 100% of the original principal amount. The convertible promissory notes cannot be prepaid without the consent of the majority holders and will automatically convert to shares of our convertible preferred stock at 80% of the convertible preferred stock price per share upon a qualified preferred stock equity financing round of at least $15.0 million, excluding the conversion value of the notes. If we were to sell convertible preferred stock in an equity financing round of less than $15.0 million, the holders of the convertible promissory notes could elect to convert their notes to shares of our convertible preferred stock at 80% of the preferred stock price per share. The convertible promissory notes are subordinated to the SVB Revolver and the Term Note.
The convertible promissory notes were amended in February 2021 to allow the notes to either: (i) automatically convert into shares of our convertible preferred stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination at a conversion price equal to the price per share applicable to our most recent equity financing at the conversion date (which was $3.1546 as of the issuance date of these financial statements) and in turn convert into shares of New Owlet common stock as part of the Business Combination or (ii), at a holder’s election, trigger the repayment in cash of the outstanding principal and accrued interest at the consummation of the Business Combination.

Operating Activities
Our cash flows from operating activities are significantly affected by the growth of our business. Our operating cash flows are also affected by our working capital needs to support growth in personnel-related expenditures and fluctuations in accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $0.1 million, primarily driven by our net loss of $10.5 million, offset by changes in working capital of $5.7 million and non-cash charges of $4.7 million.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $16.0 million, primarily driven by our net loss of $17.9 million and changes in working capital of $0.2 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $1.7 million.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investing Activities
We continue to experience negative cash flows from investing activities as we expand our business and build our infrastructure. Cash flows from investing activities primarily relate to capital expenditures to support our growth. Net cash used in investing activities is expected to continue to increase substantially as we expand our business through new products and new geographic markets.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities decreased to $1.1 million from $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The majority of our capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to equipment for the product launch of a new version of the Owlet Smart Sock, which occurred during the year ended December 31, 2020, and the anticipated launch of the Owlet Band; therefore, we had fewer capital investments during the year ended December 31, 2020. We expect our capital expenditures to grow in future periods, primarily driven by investments to expand our production capabilities to additional factories in other geographical locations, as well as investments in tooling and equipment to manufacture new products.
Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $6.5 million, primarily driven by gross draws of $12.3 million on our line of credit, the issuance of an additional $3.0 million in long-term debt, and proceeds of $2.1 million from our PPP Loan, partially offset by gross payments of $11.3 million on our line of credit.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $12.5 million, primarily driven by gross draws of $7.9 million on our line of credit, the issuance of $6.5 million in related party convertible promissory notes, and the issuance of an additional $2.0 million in long-term debt, partially offset by gross payments of $4.2 million on our line of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, we may indemnify, hold harmless, and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third-party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. We have never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions.
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that may require us to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. We currently have directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that reduces our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. We believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is immaterial.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to more significant areas involving management's judgment and estimates.
195

TABLE OF CONTENTS

While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements including in this proxy statement/prospectus, we believe that the following accounting policies are most critical to understanding the financial condition and historical and future results of operations:
Revenue Recognition
We generate substantially all of our revenues from the sale of products, primarily the Owlet Smart Sock, Owlet Cam, and Owlet Monitor Duo. Revenues are recognized when control of goods and services is transferred to customers at the transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received by us in exchange for those goods and services. The transaction price is calculated as selling price less our estimate of variable consideration, including future returns, volume rebates, and sales incentives related to current period sales.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
We enter into contracts that have multiple performance obligations. Determining whether products and services are considered separate performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Product sales include three separate performance obligations which function independently or with readily available other goods and services. The first performance obligation is the delivery of hardware and embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the hardware. Embedded firmware allows the hardware to recognize inputs to the hardware and provide appropriate outputs. The second performance obligation is the implied right to connect the downloadable mobile application, provided free of charge, to the hardware, which enables users to view and access real-time data outputs. The third performance obligation is the implied right to receive, on a when-and-if-available basis, future unspecified application upgrades, added features, and bug fixes relating to the product’s essential firmware.
We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Our process for determining the SSP considers multiple factors, including an adjusted market assessment and consumer behaviors, and varies depending on the facts and circumstances of each performance obligation. Revenues allocated to the delivery of the hardware and embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the hardware represent substantially all of the arrangement consideration and reflect our best estimate of the selling price if it was sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. SSP for the mobile application connection and upgrade rights are estimated based on relevant market and consumer data.
Revenues are recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised good or service to a customer. Revenues allocated to the hardware and embedded firmware are recognized at the time of product delivery, provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. This generally occurs upon delivery of the product to a third-party carrier. Revenues allocated to the implied right to access the mobile application and the implied right to receive, on a when-and-if-available basis, future unspecified application upgrades, added features, and bug fixes, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated usage period of the underlying hardware product. The usage period is estimated based on historical user activity and ranges from 10 to 27 months.
We record revenues net of sales tax and variable consideration such as discounts and customer returns. Payment is typically due within 90 days or less from shipment of the product. We record estimated reductions to revenue in the form of variable consideration for customer sales programs, returns, and incentive offerings including rebates, markdowns, promotions, and volume-based incentives.
Consideration payable to a customer, such as cooperative advertising and pricing promotions to retailers and distributors, is recorded as a reduction to revenue and an accrued liability unless we receive a distinct benefit in exchange for credits claimed and can reasonably estimate the fair value of the distinct benefit received. Deferred revenues represent advance payments received from customers prior to performance by us. Sales taxes collected from customers which are remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenues and are reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Sales Returns, Rebates, Discounts, and Allowances
Our contract liabilities include promises to provide customers rights of return, which range from 15 to 30 days from product activation and from 15 to 45 days from product purchase as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, as well as promises to issue discounts and provide rebates or allowances to
196

TABLE OF CONTENTS

certain retail channel customers if specified conditions are met. Revenues are reduced in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for anticipated sales returns, discounts, and allowances, based on our analysis of historical sales returns and contractual discounts and allowances. Expected returns, as well as estimated discounts and allowances that have been earned but not yet honored or paid out, are included in accrued and other expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. Actual returns may vary from estimates if we experience a change in actual sales returns or exchange patterns due to unanticipated changes in products or competitive pressures.
Sales return rates have been sufficiently predictable to allow us to estimate expected future returns. We review the actual returns as a percentage of sales to determine the historical rate of return. The historical rate of return is used as a basis for estimating future returns based on current sales. The sales return estimate can be affected by the release of new products or changes to sales channels. Actual returns may vary from estimates if we experience a change in actual sales returns or exchange patterns due to unanticipated changes in products or competitive pressures.
Sales rebates, discounts, and allowances provided to our customers have been sufficiently predictable to allow us to estimate expected future discounts and allowances. Discounts and allowances are estimable based on existing and expected promotional programs and contractual terms in place at the time of sale. New promotional programs or changes to existing promotional programs could impact the estimated sales rebates, discounts, and allowances.
The estimates and assumptions used to reserve for rights of return, rebates, discounts, and allowances have been accurate in all material respects and have not materially changed in the past.
Warranty Reserves
Our products include an assurance-type limited warranty. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenues, are based on the results of historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. The warranty reserve estimate can be affected by the release of new products or updates which could have failure rates that differ from historical products. We regularly assess and adjust the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.
Determination of the Fair Value of Common Stock
As there has been no public market for our common stock to date, the estimated fair value of our common stock has been determined by our board of directors as of the date of each option grant with input from management, considering our most recently available third-party valuation of common stock, and our board of directors’ assessment of additional objective and subjective factors that it believed were relevant and which may have changed from the date of the most recent valuation through the date of the grant. We believe that the board of directors has the relevant experience and expertise to determine fair value of our common stock. Third-party valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. Management has considered numerous factors in determining the best estimate of fair value of our common stock, including the following:
valuation performed by un-related third-party specialists;
our operating results, financial position and capital resources;
our stage of development and current business conditions and projections, including the introduction of new products;
the lack of marketability of our common stock;
the hiring of key personnel and the experience of our management;
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a sale of our company given the prevailing market conditions;
the nature and history of our business;
industry trends and the competitive environment;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

illiquidity of stock-based awards involving securities in a private company; and
the overall economic, regulatory, and capital market conditions.
The assumptions underlying these valuations were highly complex and subjective and represented management’s best estimates, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if we had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different.
Once a public trading market for our common stock has been established, such as after the Business Combination, it will no longer be necessary for our board of directors to estimate the fair value of our common stock in connection with our accounting for granted stock options and other such awards we may grant, as the fair value of our common stock will be determined based on the quoted market price of our common stock. Future expense amounts for any particular period could be affected by changes in our assumptions or market conditions.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
We classify stock-based awards granted in exchange for services as equity awards. Stock-based compensation expense related to awards to employees and non-employees is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The calculation of the stock-based compensation is based on the Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires significant estimates including the expected volatility of our common stock, expected dividend yield, option term and risk-free rate. We derive our volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of peer public companies over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. As our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term, we estimate the expected term using the simplified method based on the vesting and contractual terms of the award. Under the simplified method, the expected term is equal to the average of the stock-based award’s weighted average vesting period and its contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield is 0.0% as we do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
The fair value of each stock option award granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the years ended December 31:

Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
We classify warrants to purchase shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets as each warrant is a free-standing instrument that may require us to transfer consideration upon exercise. Each warrant is initially recorded at fair value upon issuance, net of issuance costs, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is subsequently re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of warrants are recognized as a component of preferred stock mark to market adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations. We will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants.
The Black-Scholes valuation model requires significant estimates including the expected volatility of our common stock, expected dividend yield, option term and risk-free rate. We derive our volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of peer public companies over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. As our historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term, we estimate the expected term using the simplified method based on the vesting and contractual terms of the award. Under the simplified method, the expected term is equal to the average of the stock-based award’s weighted average vesting period and its contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yield is 0.0% as we do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
In evaluating the ability to recover our deferred income tax assets, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including our operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In the event we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance that would reduce the provision for income taxes. Conversely, in the event that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are determined to not be realizable in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period when such a determination is made. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.
Uncertain tax positions are recorded when it is more likely than not that a given tax position would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Based on positions taken in our tax filings, we concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and that there are no material amounts of unrecognized tax benefits. Our policy for recording interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax positions, is to record such items as a component of the provision for income taxes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1, “Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations and credit risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As discussed above, the Term Note, as amended on September 22, 2020, had an interest rate of the greater of either the prime rate plus 3.5%, or 6.5% as of December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the prime rate did not exceed 5.0%. We have not been exposed to material risk due to fluctuations in interest rates. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are deposited in accounts
199

TABLE OF CONTENTS

at one financial institution, and account balances may at times exceed federally insured limits. We believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institution in which the cash is held.
Our accounts receivable is derived from customers located primarily in the United States. We routinely assess the creditworthiness of our customers and have only experienced significant credit losses related to receivables from individual customers when a national retailer filed for bankruptcy in September 2017. We continuously monitor customer payments and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our assessment of various factors including age of the receivable balances, historical experience and any other conditions that may affect customers’ ability to pay.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Following the Business Combination, we will qualify as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. Following the Business Combination, we intend to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an EGC or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.
In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, we intend to rely on such exemptions following the Business Combination, we will not be required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosures that may be required of non-EGCs under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (iii) comply with the requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor's report on the consolidated 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 Chief Executive Officer's compensation to median employee compensation.
Following the Business Combination, we will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2025, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.07 billion, (iii) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three years.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF NEW OWLET SECURITIES
The following summary of certain provisions of New Owlet securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the Proposed Charter, the New Owlet Bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of the Proposed Charter and the New Owlet Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, respectively. In this section, “we”, “our”, the “Company” or “New Owlet” generally refers to New Owlet from and after the Business Combination.
Authorized Capitalization
General
The total amount of our authorized capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of New Owlet common stock and 100,000,000 shares of New Owlet preferred stock. We expect to have approximately 130,764,371 shares of New Owlet common stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions, assuming that none of the outstanding shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. No shares of New Owlet preferred stock will be issued or outstanding immediately after the Business Combination.
The following summary describes all material provisions of our capital stock. We urge you to read the Proposed Charter and the New Owlet Bylaws (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, respectively).
New Owlet Common Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of New Owlet common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of New Owlet common stock held of record by such holder on all matters voted upon by our stockholders, provided, however, that, except as otherwise required in the Proposed Charter or by applicable law, the holders of New Owlet common stock will not be entitled to vote on any amendment to our Proposed Charter that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of New Owlet preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to our Proposed Charter (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of New Owlet preferred stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.
Dividend Rights
Subject to any other provisions of the Proposed Charter, as it may be amended from time to time, holders of shares of New Owlet common stock will be entitled to receive ratably, in proportion to the number of shares of New Owlet common stock held by them, such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of New Owlet when, as and if declared thereon by the New Owlet Board from time to time out of assets or funds of New Owlet legally available therefor.
Rights upon Liquidation
Subject to the rights of holders of New Owlet preferred stock, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of our debts and any other payments required by law and amounts payable upon shares of New Owlet preferred stock ranking senior to the shares of New Owlet common stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, if any, New Owlet’s remaining net assets will be distributed to the holders of shares of New Owlet common stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, pro rata on a per share basis.
Other Rights
No holder of shares of New Owlet common stock will be entitled to preemptive or subscription rights contained in the Proposed Charter or in the New Owlet Bylaws. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the New Owlet common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the New Owlet common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the New Owlet preferred stock that New Owlet may issue in the future.
201

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Lock-Up
The holders of New Owlet common stock issued as consideration pursuant to the Business Combination or to directors, officers and employees of New Owlet upon settlement or exercise of stock options or other equity awards outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (collectively, the “Lock-up Shares”) may not transfer, subject to certain limited exceptions, any Lock-up Shares for 18 months after the consummation of the Business Combination.
Preferred Stock
The New Owlet Board has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time on terms it may determine, to divide shares of preferred stock into one or more series and to fix the designations, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The issuance of New Owlet preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the trading price of New Owlet common stock, restricting dividends on the capital stock of New Owlet, diluting the voting power of the New Owlet common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the capital stock of New Owlet, or delaying or preventing a change in control of New Owlet.
Election of Directors and Vacancies
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances and the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement, the number of directors of the New Owlet Board shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the New Owlet Board. The New Owlet Board will be divided into three classes, designated Class I, II and III, with Class I consisting of three directors and first up for re-election in 2022, Class II consisting of three directors and first up for re-election in 2023, and Class III consisting of three directors and first up for re-election in 2024. Each class of directors will be elected by the New Owlet stockholders every three years. The Stockholders Agreement will also provide that, for so long as Eclipse holds at least 10.0% of the outstanding New Owlet common stock, New Owlet will include the nominee selected by Eclipse as a director nominee in New Owlet’s proxy statement for its annual meeting each time directors from the class to which such nominee is assigned are up for election.
Under the New Owlet Bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes properly cast will be sufficient to elect such directors to the New Owlet Board.
Except as the DGCL or the Stockholders Agreement may otherwise require and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of New Owlet preferred stock, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies on the New Owlet Board, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. All directors will hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors will have been elected and qualified. A director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director or a newly created directorship will serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor will have been elected and qualified.
Subject to the Stockholders Agreement and the rights, if any, of any series of New Owlet preferred stock, any director may be removed from office only with cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock (as defined below) of New Owlet then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, in case the New Owlet Board or any one or more directors should be so removed, new directors may be elected at the same time for the unexpired portion of the full term of the director or directors so removed.
In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by New Owlet, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, the Proposed Charter and to any
202

TABLE OF CONTENTS

New Owlet Bylaws adopted and in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no Bylaw so adopted will invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any director elected pursuant to the right, if any, of the holders of New Owlet preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances will serve for such term or terms and pursuant to such other provisions as specified in the relevant certificate of designations related to the New Owlet preferred stock.
For more information on the Stockholders Agreement, see “Business Combination Proposal—Related Agreements—Stockholders Agreement.
Quorum
The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise required by law or provided by the Proposed Charter. If, however, such quorum will not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum will be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum will be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Anti-takeover Effects of the Proposed Charter and the New Owlet Bylaws
The Proposed Charter and the New Owlet Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the board of directors, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the board of directors the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.
Classified Board of Directors
As indicated above, the Proposed Charter provides that the New Owlet Board will be divided into three classes of directors, with each class of directors being elected by the New Owlet stockholders every three years. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the New Owlet Board.
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of NYSE, which would apply if and so long as the New Owlet common stock (or units or warrants) remains listed on NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of New Owlet common stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the New Owlet Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Owlet by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of New Owlet common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Special Meeting, Action by Written Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals
Unless otherwise required by law, and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of New Owlet preferred stock, special meetings of the stockholders of New Owlet, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by or at the direction of (i) a majority of the New Owlet Board, (ii) the chairperson of the New
203

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Owlet Board, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iv) the President. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of a special meeting of stockholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
In addition, the New Owlet Bylaws require advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice in proper form to our secretary, of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting.
These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if such actions are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Amendment to Charter and Bylaws
The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws is required to approve such amendment, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage.
The Proposed Charter will provide that the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 and 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of New Owlet’s stock entitled to vote thereon as a class:
the provisions regarding New Owlet preferred stock;
the provisions regarding the size, classification, appointment, removal and authority of the New Owlet Board;
the provisions prohibiting stockholder actions without a meeting;
the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;
the provisions regarding the selection of certain forums for certain specified legal proceedings between New Owlet and its stockholders; and
the provisions regarding the limited liability of directors of New Owlet.
The New Owlet Bylaws may be amended or repealed (A) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire New Owlet Board then in office (subject to any bylaw requiring the affirmative vote of a larger percentage of the members of the New Owlet Board) or (B) without the approval of the New Owlet Board, by the affirmative vote of the holders of 66 and 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of New Owlet entitled to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, unless:
1)
the board of directors approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder;
2)
the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans); or
3)
the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law.
204

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock.
Since New Owlet has not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, it will apply to New Owlet. As a result, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with New Owlet for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring New Owlet to negotiate in advance with the New Owlet Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the New Owlet Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the New Owlet Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Proposed Charter limits the liability of the directors of New Owlet to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the New Owlet Bylaws provide that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. We expect to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, we will be required to indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director or officer of New Owlet or any of its subsidiaries or was serving at New Owlet’s request in an official capacity for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreements also require us, if so requested, to advance within 10 days of such request all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that such person will return any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.
Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions
The New Owlet Bylaws require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless New Owlet consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that derivative actions brought on behalf of New Owlet, actions against any director, officer or stockholder of New Owlet for breach of fiduciary duty, actions asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter or the New Owlet Bylaws, and actions asserting a claim against New Owlet governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware and service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. Although we believe this provision benefits New Owlet 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.
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, the New Owlet Bylaws require that, unless New Owlet consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act and, if brought in a court other than the federal district courts of the United States of America, the stockholder bringing the suit
205

TABLE OF CONTENTS

will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the federal district courts of the United States of America and service of process on such stockholder’s counsel. However, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The foregoing provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States 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.
Warrants
New Owlet Public Warrants
Each New Owlet whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of New Owlet at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the closing of Sandbridge’s initial public offering, provided in each case that New Owlet has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the New Owlet common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of New Owlet common stock. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units, and only whole warrants will trade. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of New Owlet common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the New Owlet common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a share of New Owlet common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share of New Owlet common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant.
As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, New Owlet will be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of New Owlet common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those shares of New Owlet common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the shares of New Owlet 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, New Owlet 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 New Owlet so elects, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. If a registration statement covering the shares of New Owlet common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we 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, but we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
206

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:
in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the closing price of the New Owlet common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given to the warrant holder.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
The last of the redemption criterion discussed above was established to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the shares of New Owlet common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants:
in whole and not in part;
at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our shares of New Owlet common stock, except as otherwise described below;
if, and only if, the closing price of the shares of New Owlet equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
if the closing price of the shares of New Owlet equals or exceeds $18.00 per public share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, reclassifications, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders and if, and only if, the private placement warrants are also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above; and
if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the 30-day period after written notice of redemption is given.
The numbers in the table below represent the number of shares of New Owlet common stock that a warrant holder will receive upon exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of the New Owlet common stock on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined based on volume weighted average price of the shares of New Owlet common stock as reported during 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, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below.
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares of New Owlet common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted as set forth below in the first three paragraphs discussing anti-dilution adjustments. The adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such

adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of shares of New Owlet common stock to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of the New Owlet common stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 shares of New Owlet common stock for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of the New Owlet common stock as reported during the ten trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 shares of New Owlet common stock for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of New Owlet common stock per whole warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by New Owlet pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any shares of New Owlet common stock.
This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other current or former special purpose acquisition companies, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the private placement warrants) when the trading price for the shares of New Owlet common stock exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the shares of New Owlet common stock are trading at or above
208

TABLE OF CONTENTS

$10.00 per public share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our shares of New Owlet common stock is below the exercise price of the warrants. This redemption feature has been established to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above. Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares of New Owlet common stock for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. We will be required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.
As stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the shares of New Owlet common stock are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the warrants when the shares of New Owlet common stock are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer shares of New Owlet common stock than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for shares of New Owlet common stock if and when such shares were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50.
No fractional shares of New Owlet common stock will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of shares of New Owlet common stock to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the shares of New Owlet common stock pursuant to the warrant agreement, the warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the shares of New Owlet common stock, New Owlet will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.
If we call the warrants for redemption when the price per share of New Owlet common stock equals or exceeds $18.00, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis” beginning on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given to the holders of warrants. In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of New Owlet common stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Owlet common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 per whole warrant. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of the shares of New Owlet 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. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of New Owlet common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management team does not take advantage of this option, the Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.
A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such
209

TABLE OF CONTENTS

person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (or such other amount as the holder may specify) of the shares of New Owlet common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-dilution Adjustments. If the number of outstanding shares of New Owlet common stock is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in shares of New Owlet common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of New Owlet common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of New Owlet common stock at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of New Owlet common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of New Owlet common stock) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per shares of New Owlet common stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for New Owlet common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of New Owlet common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of shares of New Owlet common stock as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of New Owlet common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all the holders of shares of New Owlet common stock on account of such shares (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends (initially defined as up to $0.50 per share in a 365 day period), or (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of New Owlet common stock in connection with the Business Combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of New Owlet common stock in respect of such event.
If the number of outstanding shares of New Owlet common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of share of New Owlet common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of New Owlet common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of New Owlet common stock.
Whenever the number of shares of New Owlet common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of New Owlet common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of New Owlet common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of New Owlet common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of New Owlet common stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of New Owlet common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of New Owlet common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of New Owlet common stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of shares of New Owlet common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares of New Owlet common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.
The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in Sandbridge’s prospectus for its initial public offering, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.
The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of New Owlet common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of New Owlet common stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.
Private Placement Warrants
Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. The private placement warrants (including the shares of New Owlet common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, except pursuant to limited exceptions to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the private placement warrants, and they will not be redeemable by us, except as described above when the price per share of New Owlet common stock equals or exceeds $10.00, so long as they are held by Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. Any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants will require a vote of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants.
Except as described above regarding redemption procedures and cashless exercise in respect of the public warrants, if holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Owlet common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average reported closing price of the shares of New Owlet common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the holders of warrants.
Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
The transfer agent for New Owlet common stock and warrant agent for the New Owlet public warrants and private placement warrants will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF NEW OWLET COMMON STOCK
Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted New Owlet common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of New Owlet at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) New Owlet is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as New Owlet was required to file reports) preceding the sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted New Owlet common stock shares for at least six months but who are affiliates of New Owlet at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:
1% of the total number of New Owlet common stock then outstanding; or
the average weekly reported trading volume of the New Owlet common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales by affiliates of New Owlet under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about New Owlet.
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:
the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
We anticipate that following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Owlet will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

COMPARISON OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS
General
Sandbridge is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of Sandbridge stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, the Current Charter and Sandbridge’s Bylaws. As a result of the Business Combination, Sandbridge stockholders who receive shares of New Owlet common stock will become New Owlet stockholders. New Owlet is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and the rights of New Owlet stockholders are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, including the DGCL, the Proposed Charter and New Owlet’s Bylaws. Thus, following the Business Combination, the rights of Sandbridge stockholders who become New Owlet stockholders in the Business Combination will continue to be governed by Delaware law but will no longer be governed by the Current Charter and Sandbridge’s Bylaws and instead will be governed by the Proposed Charter and New Owlet’s Bylaws.
Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights
Set forth below is a summary comparison of material differences between the rights of Sandbridge stockholders under the Current Charter and Sandbridge’s Bylaws (left column), and the rights of New Owlet’s stockholders under forms of the Proposed Charter and Bylaws (right column). The summary set forth below is not intended to be complete or to provide a comprehensive discussion of each company’s governing documents. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Sandbridge’s Charter and Sandbridge’s Bylaws, and the forms of the Proposed Charter and New Owlet’s Bylaws, which are attached as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL.

Under the Current Charter, Sandbridge is currently authorized to issue 111,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (a) 110,000,000 shares of Sandbridge common stock, including 100,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Under the Proposed Charter, New Owlet will be authorized to issue 1,100,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 1,000,000,000 shares of New Owlet Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we expect there will be 130,764,371 shares of New Owlet common stock (assuming no redemptions) outstanding. Following consummation of the Business Combination, New Owlet is not expected to have any preferred stock outstanding.
 
 
Rights of Preferred Stock
The Sandbridge Board may fix for any series of preferred stock voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Sandbridge Board providing for the issuance of such series.
The New Owlet Board may fix for any class or series of preferred stock such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as may be stated in the resolutions of the New Owlet Board providing for the issuance of such class or series.
 
 
Number and Qualification of Directors
Under the Current Charter, the number of directors of Sandbridge will be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Sandbridge Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Sandbridge Board, subject to any contractual rights of stockholders or any series of the preferred stock to elect directors.
Under the Proposed Charter, the number of directors will be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided that the number for directors that may be elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock will be in addition to the number fixed by the Board of Directors,

Fiduciary Duties of Directors
Under Delaware law, the standards of conduct for directors have developed through Delaware court case law. Generally, directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. Members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board of directors are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, provided that such other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation. Such appropriate reliance on records and other information protects directors from liability related to decisions made based on such records and other information.

The Sandbridge Board may exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by Sandbridge, subject to the DGCL.

Choice of Forum
The Current Charter requires, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that derivative actions brought in Sandbridge’s name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and other similar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, except any action (A) as to which the Court of Chancery in 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 (10) 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 created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive 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. Unless Sandbridge consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for any action arising under the Securities Act. Although we believe this provision benefits Sandbridge 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 Sandbridge’s directors and officers, although our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived Sandbridge’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
Unless New Owlet consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative proceeding brought on behalf of New Owlet, (ii) any proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of New Owlet to New Owlet or to New Owlet’s stockholders, (iii) any Proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any Proceeding asserting a claim against New Owlet governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and (b) subject to the preceding provisions, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”), such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence is filed in a court other than the federal district courts of the United States of America (a “Foreign Securities Act Action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the federal district courts of the United States of America in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce clause (b) (a “Securities Act Enforcement Action”), and (ii) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such Securities Act Enforcement Action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Securities Act Action as agent for such stockholder.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES
The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of Sandbridge common stock as of March 22, 2021 and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Owlet common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination (assuming a “no redemption” scenario and assuming a “maximum redemption” scenario as described below) by:
each person known by Sandbridge to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Sandbridge common stock;
each person who is expected to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of New Owlet common stock immediately following the Business Combination;
each of Sandbridge’s current executive officers and directors;
each person who will become an executive officer or a director of New Owlet upon consummation of the Business Combination;
all of Sandbridge’s current executive officers and directors as a group; and
all of New Owlet’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the Business Combination.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.
The beneficial ownership of Sandbridge common stock pre-Business Combination is based on 28,750,000 shares of Sandbridge common stock issued and outstanding as of February 15, 2021, which includes an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock outstanding as of such date.
The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Owlet common stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination assumes two scenarios:
a “no redemption” scenario where no shares of Sandbridge common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination; and
a “maximum redemption” scenario where 7.0 million shares of Sandbridge common stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.
Based on the foregoing assumptions, and including the 13.0 million shares of Sandbridge common stock to be issued in connection with the PIPE Investment, we estimate that there would be 132,216,363 shares of New Owlet common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no redemption” scenario, and 125,216,363 shares of New Owlet common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “maximum redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

Sandbridge Acquisition Holdings LLC is the record holder of such shares. Its officers—Ken Suslow, Richard Henry and Joe Lamastra—are the three managers of its board of managers. Any action by the Sponsor with respect to Sandbridge or the founder shares held by the Sponsor, including voting and dispositive decisions, requires a majority vote of the managers of the board of managers.

Accordingly, none of the Sponsor’s officers is deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of the founder shares held by the Sponsor.

Kurt Workman will serve as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of New Owlet following the closing of the Business Combination. Mr. Workman co-founded and served as the Chief Executive Officer of Owlet from the company’s founding in 2012 until December 2019. During his tenure as Chief Executive Officer of Owlet, Mr. Workman led the company’s growth from its inception and was instrumental in overseeing the research and development of several of the company’s key product offerings, including the iconic Owlet Smart Sock, Owlet Cam and the Owlet Band.

Mr. Workman studied Chemical Engineering at Brigham Young University. We believe Mr. Workman’s intimate knowledge of Owlet and his proven success building and overseeing the Owlet’s growth and development make him qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors.
Michael Abbott will serve as President and a member of the board of directors of New Owlet following the closing of the Business Combination.

At both companies, he was responsible for all operating units and financial functions. Mr. Abbott received his B.S. in Accounting from Drexel University and his M.B.A. with a concentration in Finance from St. Joseph’s University. We believe Mr. Abbott’s significant experience launching, cultivating, and growing global brands into industry leaders makes him qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors.

Mr. Suslow is Founding Managing Partner at Sandbridge Capital, where he chairs the Investment Committee.

Additionally, Mr. Burke serves on the Board of the Truman Medical Center, the Board of the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, Kansas State University School of Business Advisory Council and Bardavon Health Innovations. We believe Mr. Burke is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors due to his background in overseeing public healthcare companies and his significant experience in the healthcare industry.

Ms. Durr also serves on the board of directors of Netgear, Inc. and Xperi Holding Corporation. She was a certified public accountant and holds a B.S. in Accounting from San Jose State University. We believe Ms. Durr is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors because she can provide valuable operational and strategic experience and insight, given her background in finance and strategy for leading Silicon Valley technology companies.

Before relocating to the United States from Israel, Mr. Susan was an entrepreneur and former member of a Special Forces unit within the Israel Defense Forces. We believe Mr. Susan is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors due to his significant experience investing in and working with technology companies, including as a board member.
Amy McCullough has served as a member of Owlet’s board of directors since April of 2018. Ms. McCullough is the President and Managing Director of Trilogy Equity Partner, LLC (“Trilogy”), an early-stage venture capital firm.

She is a member of the Board of Trustees of Epiphany School, an independent elementary school in Seattle, and currently serves as the treasurer. Ms. McCullough received her B.A. in Business Administration with a focus in Finance from the University of Washington. We believe Ms. McCullough is qualified to serve as a member of our board of directors due to her significant experience investing in technology companies and her broad leadership experience.
There are no family relationships between or among any of New Owlet’s directors or executive officers.
Corporate Governance
New Owlet will structure its corporate governance in a manner that Owlet and Sandbridge believe will closely align New Owlet’s interests with those of its stockholders following the Business Combination. Notable features of this corporate governance include:
New Owlet will have independent director representation on its audit committee immediately at the time of the Business Combination, and its independent directors will meet regularly in executive sessions without the presence of its corporate officers or non-independent directors;
at least one of New Owlet’s directors will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC; and
New Owlet will implement a range of other corporate governance best practices, including placing limits on the number of directorships held by its directors to prevent “overboarding” and implementing a robust director education program.
Role of Board in Risk Oversight
The New Owlet Board will have extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to New Owlet and its business and will accomplish this oversight through the regular reporting to the New Owlet Board by the audit committee. The audit committee will represent the New Owlet Board by periodically reviewing New Owlet’s
228

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of its financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and IT functions, the audit committee will review and discuss all significant areas of New Owlet’s business and summarize for the board of directors all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the board of directors will receive periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.
Composition of the New Owlet Board of Directors After the Business Combination
New Owlet’s business and affairs will be managed under the direction of its board of directors. Following the Business Combination, the board of directors will remain declassified and the directors will be elected annually.
Board Committees
The New Owlet Board will direct the management of its business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and will conduct its business through meetings of the board of directors and standing committees. New Owlet will have a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which will operate under a written charter.
In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the board of directors when the board deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues. Following the Business Combination, current copies of New Owlet’s committee charters will be posted on its website,    , as required by applicable SEC and the NYSE rules. The information on or available through any of such website is not deemed incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus and does not form part of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Audit Committee
Upon the Closing, New Owlet’s audit committee will consist of Laura Durr,     and     , with Laura Durr serving as the chair of the committee. Each of these individuals meets the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of the NYSE. Each member of New Owlet’s audit committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable NYSE rules. In arriving at this determination, the board has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment.
Laura Durr will qualify as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of the NYSE rules. Both New Owlet’s independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically will meet privately with New Owlet’s audit committee.
The audit committee’s responsibilities will include, among other things:
appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing New Owlet’s independent registered public accounting firm;
discussing with New Owlet’s independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;
reviewing with New Owlet’s independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;
pre-approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by New Owlet’s independent registered public accounting firm;
overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and New Owlet’s independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that New Owlet files with the SEC;
reviewing and monitoring New Owlet’s accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and
229

TABLE OF CONTENTS

establishing procedures for the confidential anonymous submission of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.
Compensation Committee
Upon the Closing, New Owlet’s compensation committee will consist of     and     , with     serving as the chair of the committee.     and     are non-employee directors, as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.     and     are “independent” as defined under the applicable NYSE listing standards, including the standards specific to members of a compensation committee. The compensation committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:
reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of New Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluating the performance of New Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer in light of these goals and objectives and setting or making recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of New Owlet’s Chief Executive Officer;
reviewing and setting or making recommendations to the New Owlet Board regarding the compensation of New Owlet’s other executive officers;
making recommendations to the New Owlet Board regarding the compensation of New Owlet’s directors;
reviewing and approving or making recommendations to the New Owlet Board regarding New Owlet’s incentive compensation and equity-based plans and arrangements; and
appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants. We believe that the composition and functioning of New Owlet’s compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Upon the Closing, New Owlet’s nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of     and    .
The nominating and corporate governance committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:
identifying individuals qualified to become members of the New Owlet Board, consistent with criteria approved by the New Owlet Board;
recommending to the New Owlet Board the nominees for election to the New Owlet Board at annual meetings of New Owlet’s stockholders;
overseeing an evaluation of the New Owlet Board and its committees; and
developing and recommending to the New Owlet Board a set of corporate governance guidelines. We believe that the composition and functioning of New Owlet’s nominating and corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the current NYSE listing standards.
The New Owlet Board may from time to time establish other committees.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
New Owlet will adopt a new code of business conduct that applies to all of its directors, officers and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, which will be available on New Owlet’s website upon the completion of the Business Combination. New Owlet’s code of business conduct is a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Please note that New Owlet’s Internet website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. New Owlet will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its Internet website.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of the Sandbridge compensation committee was at any time during fiscal year 2020, or at any other time, one of Sandbridge’s officers or employees. None of Sandbridge’s executive officers has served as a
230

TABLE OF CONTENTS

director or member of a compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of any entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the Sandbridge Board or member of Sandbridge’s compensation committee.
Independence of the Board of Directors
NYSE rules generally require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. Based upon information requested from and provided by each proposed director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, we anticipate that Zane Burke, Domenico De Sole, Laura Durr, Amy McCullough, Lior Susan and Ken Suslow, representing    of New Owlet’s    proposed directors, will be “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of the NYSE.

Narrative to the Summary Compensation Table
2020 Annual Base Salary
We pay our executives, including Mr. Abbott, a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our company. The base salary payable to our executives is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. As of December 31, 2020, Mr. Abbott’s base salary was $450,000. The salary listed for Mr. Abbott in the Salary column of the Summary Compensation Table above reflects the salary actually paid to him during 2020.
Performance Bonuses
We maintain a performance-based bonus program in which Mr. Abbott participates. For 2020, Mr. Abbott was eligible to receive a bonus originally targeted at 40%, and later increased to 50%, of the base salary paid to him during 2020 based on the achievement of certain performance goals based on quarterly revenue targets, as established by our board of directors. In January 2021, based on its assessment that Mr. Abbott had achieved his performance goals for 2020, our board of directors approved paying Mr. Abbott’s discretionary performance bonus at target, which, based on the base salary paid to Mr. Abbott during 2020, was $209,426.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Equity Compensation
We have granted stock options to our employees, including Mr. Abbott, in order to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders. In order to provide a long-term incentive, these stock options generally vest over four years subject to continued service.
In March 2020, we granted Mr. Abbott an option to purchase 50,000 shares of Owlet common stock for an exercise per share of $1.59, which was the fair market value of Owlet’s common stock on the date of grant, as determined by our board of directors. The option vests as to 1/48th of the original number of underlying shares on each monthly anniversary of December 1, 2019, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date.
In connection with the Business Combination, and subject to approval by Sandbridge’s stockholders, we will adopt the 2021 Plan in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including Mr. Abbott) and consultants of our company and certain of its affiliates and to enable us to obtain and retain services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success. The 2021 Plan will be effective at the Closing. For additional information about the 2021 Plan, please see “Equity Incentive Plans” below.
Other Elements of Compensation
Retirement Savings and Health and Welfare Benefits
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including Mr. Abbott, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Mr. Abbot is eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. We match 50% of the first 6% of a participant’s annual eligible compensation, up to the IRS limit. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings though our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.
All of our full-time employees, including Mr. Abbott, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans. These health and welfare plans include medical, dental and vision benefits; short-term and long-term disability insurance; and supplemental life and AD&D insurance.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
We determine perquisites on a case-by-case basis and will provide a perquisite to a named executive officer when we believe it is necessary to attract or retain the named executive officer. In 2020, we provided Mr. Abbott $46,754 in commuting and housing expenses related to his travel to our company offices in Utah.

As of December 31, 2020, Mr. Scal held an option to purchase 337,326 shares of Owlet common stock. None of Owlet’s other non-employee directors held any option or stock awards.
Mr. Abbott did not receive additional compensation for his service as a director, and the compensation provided to him as an employee is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Sandbridge Related Party Transactions
Relationship with Sponsor
Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, on June 26, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of Sandbridge Class B common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In August 2020, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. De Sole, 25,000 founder shares to Mr. Toubassy, Sandbridge’s director nominees, and 30,000 founder shares to Mr. Hilfiger and in October 2020, transferred 40,000 founder shares to Mr. Goss, resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,615,000 founder shares, there being an aggregate of 5,750,000 founder shares outstanding.
Our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,600,000 private placement warrants in connection with Sandbridge’s initial public offering, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of approximately $6,600,000. Each private placement warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.
Sandbridge’s executive offices are located at 1999 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 2088, Los Angeles, CA 90067, which office space is leased by an affiliate of the Sponsor. Commencing upon consummation of its initial public offering, Sandbridge reimburses the affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, administrative and support services. Upon completion of Sandbridge’s initial business combination or liquidation, it will cease paying these monthly fees.
Sandbridge’s Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of its or their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities undertaken on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Sandbridge’s audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers and directors or any of its or their affiliates and determines which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed.
PIPE Financing
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sandbridge entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, Sandbridge agreed to issue and sell in private placements an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors for $10.00 per share immediately prior to the Closing.

Mr. Workman concurrently entered into a stock pledge agreement in which he pledged 223,980 shares of Owlet common stock as collateral for the secured promissory note. Mr. Workman also entered into a call option agreement, which granted Owlet the right to repurchase such shares of Owlet common stock at a purchase price of $1.30 per share.
In June 2019, the Owlet Board approved (i) the repurchase of Mr. Workman’s shares of Owlet common stock pledged as collateral and (ii) a bonus payment for Mr. Workman in the aggregate amount of $415,393.31, which represented the difference between the Owlet Series B convertible preferred stock purchase price of $3.1546 per share and the 409A valuation of Owlet common stock.

Pursuant to certain of Owlet’s equity compensation plans and certain agreements with its stockholders, including the Amended and Restated Right of First Refusal and Co-sale Agreement, dated as April 20, 2018 (the “ROFR Agreement”), Owlet or its assignees have the right to purchase shares of Owlet capital stock which stockholders propose to sell to other parties.

This agreement will terminate in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

The convertible promissory notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum and none of the principal or accrued interest has been repaid to date. Unless repaid in advance of the Closing, all principal and accrued interest on the convertible promissory notes will automatically convert into shares of Owlet’s convertible preferred stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and in turn convert into shares of New Owlet common stock as part of the Business Combination or, at a holder’s election, trigger the repayment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest at the consummation of the Business Combination.
Indemnification under Proposed Charter and New Owlet Bylaws; Indemnification Agreements
The New Owlet Bylaws, as will be in effect following the consummation of the Business Combination pending stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to certain exceptions contained in the New Owlet Bylaws. In addition, the Proposed Charter, as will be in following the consummation of the Business Combination pending stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, will provide that our directors will not be liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty.
We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements will provide the indemnitees with contractual rights to indemnification, and expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, subject to certain exceptions contained in those agreements. For additional information, see “Description of New Owlet Securities—Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors.”
New Owlet Policies for Related Party Transactions
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New Owlet will adopt a written related persons transaction policy that sets forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. Under such policy:

any employment relationship or transaction involving an executive officer and any related compensation must be approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors or recommended by the compensation committee to the board of directors for its approval.
In connection with the review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction:
management must disclose to the committee or disinterested directors, as applicable, the name of the related person and the basis on which the person is a related person, the material terms of the related person transaction, including the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, and all the material facts as to the related person’s direct or indirect interest in, or relationship to, the related person transaction;

LEGAL MATTERS
Ropes & Gray LLP will pass upon the validity of the New Owlet common stock issued in connection with the Business Combination and certain other legal matters related to this proxy statement/prospectus.
EXPERTS
The financial statements of Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation as of December 31, 2020, and for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, included in this proxy statement/prospectus have been audited by WithumSmith+Brown, PC, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon, appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The financial statements of Owlet Baby Care Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the years then ended included in this proxy statement/prospectus of Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation have been so included in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to Owlet Baby Care Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 1 to the financial statements) of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On November 19, 2020, the board of directors of Owlet dismissed Tanner LLC (“Tanner”) as Owlet’s independent auditors.
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no report by Tanner on Owlet’s financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Subsequent to Tanner’s dismissal, management identified misstatements related to the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. As a result, Owlet restated the December 31, 2019 and 2018 financial statements and Tanner audited the corrections made by management to those financial statements. See “Risk FactorsRisks Related to Becoming a Public Company,” for details regarding material weaknesses identified.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the subsequent interim period through November 19, 2020, there were (i) no “disagreements,” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, with Tanner on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tanner, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their audit reports, and (ii) no “reportable events,” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided Tanner with a copy of these disclosures and requested that Tanner furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Tanner agrees with the statements made herein and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the letter, dated February 15, 2021, furnished by Tanner in response to that request, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.
On December 14, 2020, Owlet engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as its independent registered public accounting firm. Following its engagement, PwC reaudited Owlet’s restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and through December, 14, 2020, neither Owlet nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with PwC regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to Owlet that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by Owlet in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Sandbridge and the service provider(s) that it employs to deliver communications to its stockholders are permitted to deliver to two or more stockholders sharing the same address a single copy of the proxy statement/prospectus.

CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Merger applicable to U.S. holders and Non-U.S. holders (each as defined below, and together, “holders”) of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock (i) that hold New Owlet common stock following the adoption of the Proposed Charter in connection with the Merger or (ii) that elect to have their Sandbridge Class A common stock redeemed for cash if the Merger is completed. This discussion applies only to Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock, as applicable, that is held as a “capital asset” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is limited to U.S. federal income tax considerations and does not address any estate, gift tax or other federal tax considerations or considerations arising under the tax laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income, the rules regarding “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Code or “Section 1244 stock” within the meaning of Section 1244 of the Code, and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules under U.S. federal income tax law that apply to certain types of investors, such as:
financial institutions or financial services entities;
broker-dealers;
insurance companies;
pension plans;
dealers or traders subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock;
persons holding Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock, as part of a “straddle,” hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;
holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
“specified foreign corporations” (including “controlled foreign corporations”), “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;
governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;
regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;
persons that directly, indirectly or constructively own five percent or more (by vote or value) of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock;
persons who acquired their shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants or conversion rights under such convertible instruments;
persons who acquired their shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;
pass-through entities, including (but not limited to) partnerships or limited liability companies treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes);
tax-qualified retirement plans;
“qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds; and
tax-exempt entities.
If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the partners in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partners and the
241

TABLE OF CONTENTS

activities of the partnership. Partnerships and their partners should consult their tax advisors with respect to the consequences to them of holding shares of the New Owlet common stock following the adoption of the Proposed Charter in connection with the Merger or electing to have their Sandbridge Class A common stock redeemed for cash if the Merger is completed.
This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus may affect the tax consequences described herein. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).
We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock, as applicable, who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
A “Non-U.S. Holder” means any beneficial owner of Sandbridge Class A common stock or New Owlet common stock, as applicable, that is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder.
You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. jurisdiction.
Adoption of the Proposed Charter
Holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock are not expected to recognize any income, gain or loss under U.S. federal income tax laws as a result of the adoption of the Proposed Charter in connection with the Business Combination. It is expected that each such holder would have the same basis in its New Owlet common stock after the adoption of the Proposed Charter as that holder has in the corresponding Sandbridge Class A common stock immediately prior to the adoption of the Proposed Charter and such holder’s holding period in the New Owlet common stock would include the holder’s holding period in the corresponding Sandbridge Class A common stock. Although the matter is not entirely clear, these consequences to the holders assume, and we intend to take the position, that the adoption of the Proposed Charter does not result in an exchange by the holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock for New Owlet common stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If contrary to this characterization, the adoption of the Proposed Charter does result in an exchange, it is expected that such exchange would be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The consequences to holders of a recapitalization could be different than those discussed above. Each holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to it of the adoption of the Proposed Charter in connection with the Business Combination.
The remainder of this discussion assumes that the adoption of the Proposed Charter will not result in an exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock
In the event that a holder’s shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the section titled “The Special Meeting
242

TABLE OF CONTENTS

– Redemption Rights,” the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or other exchange of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock, a U.S. holder (as defined above) will be treated as described below under the section titled “- U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock,” and a Non-U.S. holder will be treated as described under the section titled “—Non-U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock, a holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to a U.S. holder described below under the section titled “- U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution,” and the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder described below under the section titled “—Non-U.S. Holder – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution.
Whether a redemption of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the redeemed holder before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively owned by the holder as a result of owning private placement warrants or public warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Transactions) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Sandbridge Class A common stock generally will be treated as a sale of Sandbridge Class A common stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the holder’s interest in us or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the holder. These tests are explained more fully below.
In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a holder takes into account not only shares of our stock actually owned by the holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the holder has an interest or that have an interest in such holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Sandbridge Class A common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the private placement warrants or the public warrants. Moreover, any of our stock that a holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Transactions generally should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.
In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately following the redemption of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock must, among other requirements, be less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Sandbridge Class A common stock and the Sandbridge Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Transactions). There will be a complete termination of a holder’s interest if either (1) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the holder are redeemed and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the holder does not constructively own any other shares of our stock (including any stock constructively owned by the holder as a result of owning warrants). The redemption of Sandbridge Class A common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation where such stockholder exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”
If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such a U.S. holder will be as described below under the section titled “U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution,” and the tax effects to such a Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under the section titled “Non-U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution.” After the application of those rules, any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

remaining tax basis of the holder in the redeemed Sandbridge Class A common stock will be added to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.
Each holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.
Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock applicable to U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a U.S. holder of Sandbridge Class A common stock.
Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section titled —Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock,” the amount of cash received in the redemption generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Sandbridge Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of shares of our Sandbridge Class A common stock and will be treated as described below under the section titled “- U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock.
Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Sandbridge Class A common stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.
Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock. If our redemption of a U.S. holder’s shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock is treated as a sale, as discussed above under the section titled “- Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock,” a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock redeemed. A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Sandbridge Class A common stock generally will equal the U.S. holder’s acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to such U.S. holder with respect to its shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock treated as a return of capital. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Sandbridge Class A common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the Sandbridge Class A common stock described in this proxy statement/prospectus may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gain of certain non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) is currently eligible for U.S. federal income taxation at preferential rates at a maximum rate of 20%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. U.S. holders that realize a loss should consult their tax advisors regarding the allowance of this loss.
U.S. holders who hold different blocks of Sandbridge Class A common stock (shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.
Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock applicable to Non-U.S. Holders
This section applies to you if you are a Non-U.S. holder of Sandbridge Class A common stock.
Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Distribution. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock is treated as a corporate distribution, as discussed above under the section titled “- Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock,” the amount of cash received in the redemption generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) and, provided such
244

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dividend is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of thirty percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and timely provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Sandbridge Class A common stock redeemed and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized on the sale of the Sandbridge Class A common stock, which will be treated as described below under the section titled “- Non-U.S. Holders – Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock.
Because it may not be certain at the time a Non-U.S. holder is redeemed whether such Non-U.S. holder’s redemption will be treated as a sale of shares or a distribution constituting a dividend, and because such determination will depend in part on a Non-U.S. holder’s particular circumstances, we or the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine whether (or to what extent) a Non-U.S. holder is treated as receiving a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, we or the applicable withholding agent may withhold tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gross amount of any consideration paid to a Non-U.S. holder in redemption of such Non-U.S. holder’s Sandbridge Class A common stock, unless (i) we or the applicable withholding agent have established special procedures allowing Non-U.S. holders to certify that they are exempt from such withholding tax and (ii) such Non-U.S. holders are able to certify that they meet the requirements of such exemption (e.g., because such Non-U.S. holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above under the section titled “- Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock”). However, there can be no assurance that we or any applicable withholding agent will establish such special certification procedures. If we or an applicable withholding agent withhold excess amounts from the amount payable to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder generally may obtain a refund of any such excess amounts by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances and any applicable procedures or certification requirements.
The withholding tax described above does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A corporate Non-U.S. holder that is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate).
Taxation of Redemption Treated as a Sale of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock. If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder’s shares of Sandbridge Class A common stock is treated as a sale of Sandbridge Class A common stock, as discussed above under the section titled “- Redemption of Sandbridge Class A Common Stock,” subject to the discussions of FATCA (as defined below) and backup withholding below, a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized in connection with the redemption, unless:
the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder);
such Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the disposition takes place and certain other conditions are met; or
we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of redemption or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our Sandbridge Class A common stock and, in the case where shares of our Sandbridge Class A common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than five percent (5%) of our Sandbridge Class A common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the redemption or such Non-U.S. holder’s
245

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holding period for the shares of our Sandbridge Class A common stock. There can be no assurance that our Sandbridge Class A common stock is or has been treated as regularly traded on an established securities market within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations.
Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a corporate Non-U.S. holder may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate). If the second bullet point applies to a Non-U.S. holder, such Non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. tax on such Non-U.S. holder’s net capital gain for such year (including any gain realized in connection with the redemption) at a tax rate of thirty percent (30%).
If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder in connection with the redemption will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, we may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such redemption.
We believe that we are not, and have not been at any time during the five-year period preceding the date of Business Combination, a United States real property holding corporation and we do not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the Business Combination is completed.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Payments resulting from our redemption of our Sandbridge Class A common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.
A Non-U.S. holder generally will eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8. Backup withholding is not an additional tax, but an advance payment, which may be refunded or credited against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. A holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.
FATCA Withholding Taxes
Provisions commonly referred to as “FATCA” impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of dividends including amounts treated as dividends received pursuant to a redemption on our Sandbridge Class A common stock. On December 13, 2018, the IRS released proposed Treasury Regulations that, if finalized in their proposed form, would eliminate the obligation to withhold on gross proceeds from a disposition of any stock, debt instrument, or other property that can produce U.S.-source dividends or interest. Although these proposed Treasury regulations are not final, taxpayers generally may rely on them until final Treasury regulations are issued.
In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. holder or an individual Non-U.S. holder that timely provides the certifications required on a valid IRS Form W-9 or W-8, respectively. Holders potentially subject to withholding include “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of Sandbridge Class A common stock.

A stockholder shall update and supplement its notice to New Owlet’s secretary, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice as described above shall be true and correct as of the record date for notice of the annual meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, New Owlet’s secretary not later than five business days after the record date for notice of the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).
Stockholder Director Nominees
The New Owlet Bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) of stockholders, subject to the provisions of the Proposed Charter and the Stockholders Agreement. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by the New Owlet Bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to New Owlet’s secretary in accordance with the New Owlet Bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by New Owlet’s secretary within the time periods described above under “— Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 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 audit 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2020.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 23, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 14, 2020. On September 17, 2020 the Company completed the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company completed the sale of 6,600,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to Sandbridge Acquisition Holdings LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction costs amounted to $12,948,806, consisting of $4,204,000 in cash underwriting fees, $8,050,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $694,806 of other offering costs.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 17, 2020, an amount of $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) located in the United States. The funds in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.
Substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination, and the Company’s management has broad discretion to identify targets for such a potential Business Combination and over the specific application of the funds held in the Trust Account if and when such funds are properly released from the Trust Account. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that together have an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with its initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target business or assets sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.
The Company will provide its holders of the 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. The public stockholders will be entitled to
F-7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will only proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rules and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. 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.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to its Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision 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.
The Company will have until September 17, 2022, or such later date as a result of a stockholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations (less 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 Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Sponsor has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting

commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
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 for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering 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 (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) 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 $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable. This liability will not apply with respect to claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account 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”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. 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 (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and 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.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues 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 events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020.
Cash and Investments Held in Trust Account
The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounting to $12,948,806 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties

TABLE OF CONTENTS

as of 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.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase 18,100,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.
The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding since original issuance. Net loss per share, basic and diluted, for Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net loss, adjusted for income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period. Class B non-redeemable common stock includes the Founder Shares as these shares do not have any redemption features and do not participate in the income earned on the Trust Account.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,600,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 7). A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On July 3, 2020, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In August 2020, the Sponsor transferred 40,000 Founder Shares to independent director Mr. De Sole, 25,000 Founder Shares to independent director Mr. Toubassy and 30,000 Founder Shares to advisor Mr. Hilfiger at their original per share purchase price. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 750,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would collectively represent approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Administrative Support Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on September 14, 2020, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the Company incurred and paid $40,000 in fees for these services.
Promissory Note – Related Party
On July 3, 2020, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2021 and the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $250,000 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 17, 2020.
Related Party Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, of the post Business Combination entity. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2020, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration and stockholder rights agreement entered into on September 14, 2020, holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to shares of Class A common stock). Any holder of at least 20% of the outstanding registrable securities owned by these holders will be entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration and stockholder rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The Company will bear certain expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
In addition, pursuant to the registration and stockholder rights agreement, upon consummation of a Business Combination, the Sponsor and the future holders of Founder Shares (or securities into which the Founder Shares convert) held by the Sponsor will be entitled to designate three individuals for nomination for election to the

Company’s board of directors for so long as they continue to hold, collectively, at least 50% of the Founder Shares (or the securities into which such Founder Shares convert) held by such persons on the date of this prospectus. Thereafter, such initial stockholders will be entitled to designate (i) two individuals for nomination for election to the Company’s board of directors for so long they continue to hold, collectively, at least 30% of the Founder Shares (or the securities into which such Founder Shares convert) held by such persons on the date of this prospectus and (ii) one individual for nomination for election to the Company’s board of directors for so long they continue to hold, collectively, at least 20% of the Founder Shares (or the securities into which such Founder Shares convert) held by such persons on the date of this prospectus.
Underwriting Agreement
Certain of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriters did not receive any upfront underwriting discount or commissions on the 1,980,000 Units purchased by the PIMCO private funds or their respective affiliates but will receive deferred underwriting commissions with respect to such Units.
Consulting Arrangement
The Company has an arrangement with a third-party consultant to provide market analyses to the Company relating to potential business combination targets. The fee for this arrangement is approximately $1,350,000, of which 90% is contingent upon the closing of the transaction.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2020, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2020, there were 1,175,100 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, excluding 21,824,900 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption.
Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At December 31, 2020, there were 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. Prior to the Business Combination, only holders of shares of Class B common stock have the right to vote on the election of directors.
Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.
The shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination, and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become
F-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

exercisable on the later of (a) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (b) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if shares of the Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a public warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. 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 a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period, to each warrant holder; and
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.
Redemption of warrants when the price per share of Class common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 Commencing ninety days after the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:
in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.10 per warrant provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock;
F-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
if the closing price of the Class A common stock 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 is less than $18.00 per share, the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of 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.
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 a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A common (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsors or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsors or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates a Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $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 $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.
The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a U.S. federal net operating loss carryover of approximately $52,000 available to offset future taxable income.
In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of 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 liabilities, 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. For the period from June 23, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, the change in the valuation allowance was $89,709.
A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at December 31, 2020 is as follows:

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
Business Combination Agreement
On February 15, 2021, the Company entered into a business combination agreement by and among itself, Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Owlet Baby Care Inc. (“Owlet”) (“Business Combination Agreement”). Owlet provides a data-driven connectivity platform to the nursey for parents. If approved, Merger Sub will merge with and into Owlet, with Owlet surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In addition, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company will be renamed “Owlet, Inc.” and is referred to below as “New Owlet” as of the time following such change of name.
As a consequence of the Business Combination, each share of the Company’s Class B common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically convert into a share of New Owlet Class A common stock (“New Owlet common stock”) on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the terms of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated September 14, 2020. The Business Combination will have no effect on the Company’s Class A common stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which will continue to remain outstanding.
As a consequence of the Merger, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Owlet capital stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), rounded down to the nearest whole share; (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, except that, subject to specified limitations, holders of vested options may instead elect to receive a cash payment in lieu of assumption of a portion of their vested options up to an aggregate cap of $10 million; and (iii) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the Owlet restricted stock.
The Business Combination is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, following the receipt of the required approval by the Company’s stockholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions. For additional information please see the Form 8-K filed and with the SEC on February 16, 2021.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Owlet Baby Care Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owlet Baby Care Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, since inception, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and generated negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for revenues from contracts with customers in 2019.
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 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 audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
Our audits 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 audits 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Owlet Baby Care Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except shares and per share amounts)
December 31, 2020
1.
Description of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Owlet Baby Care Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 24, 2014 as a Delaware corporation. The Company’s ecosystem of digital parenting solutions, including our connected anchor product, the Owlet Smart Sock, is helping to transform modern parenting by providing parents data to track the sleep patterns, oxygen levels, and heart rates of their children. Its solutions are designed to provide actionable insights aimed at improving children’s sleep and parents’ confidence and comfort.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts in the notes are presented in thousands except for share and per share data or unless otherwise specified. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications were made to combine prior year financial statement line items and amounts within the accrued and other expenses, current portion of long-term debt, other income (expense), net line item in the consolidated statements of operations. These reclassifications have no effect on stockholders’ deficit or net loss as previously reported.
Going Concern
Since inception, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and generated negative cash flows from operations, which have been funded primarily through raising debt and issuing common and preferred stock. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company generated negative cash flows from operations of ($129) and ($16,061) and net losses of ($10,521) and ($17,851), respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of ($71,718) and ($61,197), respectively. The Company will need to finance future operations through generating additional revenues and raising additional debt or equity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, or that the Company will generate sufficient future revenues.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued. The recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, and the fact that management’s plans to obtain additional capital have not yet been completed, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and accordingly, do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts, or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Impact of COVID-19
The World Health Organization declared a global health emergency in January 2020 and in March 2020, it declared the spread of COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic developed rapidly in 2020 and there was worldwide impact. The impact of COVID-19 included changes in consumer and business behavior, pandemic fears, market downturns, and restrictions on business and individual activities, and created significant volatility in the global economy that led to reduced economic activity.
As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, economic uncertainties have arisen which have impacted and may continue to impact certain aspects of the Company’s operations and performance. The
F-24

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to estimates, judgements, the measurement of assets or liabilities, or the recognition of gains or losses. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s cash flow, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments that are uncertain. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from those estimates given the uncertainty from COVID-19.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, management temporarily limited access to the Company’s headquarters and encouraged its employees and contractors to work remotely, where possible, in accordance with local public health recommendations, each of which represented a significant change in how the Company operated its business. In light of the pandemic, management expects to continue to take actions as may be required or recommended by government authorities or as management determines is in the best interest of the Company’s employees.
The Company experienced relatively minor impacts on its inventory availability and delivery capacity since the outbreak, neither of which materially impacted its ability to service its customers. The Company continues to work with its existing manufacturing, logistics and other supply chain partners to build key processes to ensure that its ability to service its customers is not significantly disrupted. Ongoing actions to bolster key aspects of the supply chain to support the Company’s continued growth include geographically diversifying manufacturing operations to ensure adequate manufacturing capacity and to shorten transit times, implementing alternative order fulfillment options to reduce warehousing costs, developing contingency plans for unexpected third-party manufacturing disruptions, and increasing headcount dedicated to managing and optimizing supply chain processes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key management estimates include those related to revenue recognition (including sales incentives, product returns and implied post contract support and service), allowances for doubtful accounts, write-downs for obsolete or slow-moving inventory, useful lives for property and equipment, impairment assessments for long-lived tangible and intangible assets, warranty obligations, valuation allowances for net deferred income tax assets, and valuation of warrants and stock-based compensation.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $16,954 of cash that exceeded federally insured limits. To date, the Company has not experienced a loss or lack of access to its invested cash; however, no assurance can be provided that access to the Company’s invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to some of its customers and generally requires no collateral. A major customer is considered to be one that comprises more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable or annual revenues. The Company’s major customers are as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company’s top three customers accounted for 51% and 49% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and 66% and 69% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company continuously monitors customer payments and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of various factors including historical experience, age of the receivable balances, and other current economic conditions or other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay.
The Company’s products are manufactured, assembled, and tested by third-party contractors located primarily in Asia. The Company does not have long-term agreements with these contractors. A significant disruption in the operations of one or more of these contractors would impact the production of the Company’s products which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company also relies on third parties with whom it outsources supply chain activities related to inventory warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution and other direct sales logistics. In the event of a significant disruption to one or more of the third parties’ abilities to perform their obligations, the Company may be unable to find alternative partners or satisfactorily deliver its products to its customers on time.
Certain core products of the Company require hosting services which are provided by U.S. based third-party hosting service providers. We have experienced, and may experience in the future, outages and other performance disruptions in the operations of one or more of these third-party providers. These outages and other performance disruptions have impacted, and in the future may impact, the functionality of the Company’s products and lead to adverse effects on the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and commercial paper.
Segment Information
The Company operates as a single operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources, making operating decisions, and evaluating financial performance. Since the Company operates in one operating segment, all required financial segment information can be found in these consolidated financial statements.
Revenue by geographic area is based on the delivery address of the customer and is summarized as follows:

Fair Value Measurements
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 a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to the valuations used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument,
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The carrying value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short period of time to maturity or repayment. The Company has concluded that the preferred stock warrants issued meet the definition of a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and has classified the liability as a Level 3 fair value measurement.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s preferred stock warrant liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The Company presented the fair value measurement as a Level 3 measurement, relying on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions. Level 3 measurements, which are not based on quoted prices in active markets, introduce a higher degree of subjectivity and may be more sensitive to fluctuations in stock price, volatility rates, and U.S. Treasury Bond rates and could have a material impact on future fair value measurements.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in the period reported. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 in the periods reported.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records its accounts receivable at sales value and establishes specific reserves for those customer accounts identified with collection problems due to insolvency or other issues. The Company’s accounts receivable are considered past due when payment has not been received by the contractually required due date, which is generally 15-75 days after the invoice date. The amounts of the specific reserves are estimated by management based on various assumptions including the customer’s financial position, age of the customer’s receivables, and changes in payment schedules and histories. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable when the potential for recovery is remote. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded when payment is received. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $201 and $93, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory includes material and third-party assembly costs, not in excess of estimated net realizable value. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined using the weighted-average cost method. The Company periodically reviews inventory for excess supply, obsolescence, and valuations above estimated realizable amounts, and provides a reserve to cover these items. Once inventory is written down, a new accounting cost basis is established and, accordingly, any associated reserve is not released until the inventory is sold or scrapped. Management established a reserve for obsolete inventory of $417 and $50 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Capitalized Transaction Costs
Capitalized transactions costs consist of direct incremental legal, accounting and consulting, and other fees related to the preparation S-4 registration statement. These costs are initially deferred and will be offset against the proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid in capital upon consummation of the merger disclosed in Note 18. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, capitalized transaction costs were $522 and $0, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets or over the related lease terms (if shorter) as follows:
Furniture and fixtures
3-7 years
Leasehold improvements
2-5 years
Software
2-3 years
Tooling and manufacturing equipment
3 years
Computer equipment
2 years
Expenditures that materially increase values or capacities or extend useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Routine maintenance, repairs, and renewal costs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, which consist of patents, trademarks, and Dream Lab film production costs are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. Management does not consider any of the Company’s intangible assets to be impaired as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Patents and trademarks are amortized over ten years using the straight-line method. Film production costs are amortized over three years using the individual-film-forecast-computation method.
Software Development
The Company’s software development costs for applications to be provided to its customers as part of the integrated hardware and application experience are expensed as incurred until the preliminary project stage has been completed and application development begins. The Company discontinues capitalization upon entering the post-implementation stage and expenses ongoing maintenance and support costs. There were no material qualifying costs incurred during the application development stage in the years presented. As a result, software development costs have been expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, consisting primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. If it is determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are capitalized and reported as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
Preferred Stock Warrant Liability
The Company classifies warrants to purchase shares of its redeemable convertible preferred stock as a liability on its consolidated balance sheets as each warrant is a free-standing instrument that may require the Company to transfer consideration upon exercise. Each warrant is initially recorded at fair value upon issuance,
F-29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

net of issuance costs, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and is re-measured to fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in fair value of warrants are recognized as a component of preferred stock mark to market adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the warrants.
Leases
The Company leases its office space and certain equipment under operating leases. For leases that contain rent escalation or rent concession provisions, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company records the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from the sale of its hardware products, primarily the Owlet Smart Sock, Owlet Cam and Owlet Monitor Duo. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are generated in the United States. There are no other geographical regions that represent 10% or more of revenues. Revenues are recognized when control of goods and services is transferred to customers at the transaction price, an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received by the Company in exchange for those goods and services. The transaction price is calculated as selling price less the Company’s estimate of variable consideration, including future returns, volume rebates, and sales incentives related to current period sales.
The Company applies the following five step-approach to recognizing revenue:
Identify the contract with a customer
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Determine the transaction price
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
Recognize revenue when or as a performance obligation is recognized
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company enters into contracts that have multiple performance obligations. Product sales include three performance obligations. The first performance obligation is the delivery of hardware and embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the hardware. Embedded firmware allows the hardware to recognize inputs to the hardware and provide appropriate outputs. The second performance obligation is the implied right to connect the downloadable mobile application, provided free of charge, to the hardware, which enables users to view and access real-time data outputs. The third performance obligation is the implied right to receive, on a when-and-if-available basis, future unspecified application upgrades, added features, and bug fixes relating to the product’s essential firmware.
The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company’s process for determining its SSP considers multiple factors, including an adjusted market assessment and consumer behaviors, and varies depending on the facts and circumstances of each performance obligation. Revenues allocated to the delivery of the hardware and embedded firmware essential to the functionality of the hardware represent substantially all of the arrangement consideration and reflect the Company’s best estimate of the selling price if it was sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. SSP for the mobile application and upgrade rights are estimated based on relevant market and consumer data.
Revenues are recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised good or service to a customer. Revenues allocated to the hardware and embedded firmware are recognized at the time of product delivery, provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. This generally occurs upon delivery of the product to a third-party carrier. Revenues allocated to the implied right to access the mobile application and the implied right to receive, on a when-and-if-available basis, future unspecified application upgrades, added features, and bug fixes, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated usage period of the underlying hardware product. The usage period is estimated based on historical user activity and ranges from 10 to 27 months.
F-30

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company records revenues net of sales tax and variable consideration such as discounts and customer returns. Payment is typically due within 90 days or less of shipment of product. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue in the form of variable consideration for customer sales programs, returns, and incentive offerings including rebates, markdowns, promotions, and volume-based incentives.
Consideration payable to a customer, such as cooperative advertising and pricing promotions to retailers and distributors, is recorded as a reduction to revenue and an accrued liability unless the Company receives a distinct benefit in exchange for credits claimed and can reasonably estimate the fair value of the distinct benefit received. Deferred revenues represent advance payments received from customers prior to performance by the Company. Sales taxes collected from customers which are remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue and are reflected as a liability in the accompanying balance sheets.
Costs of Obtaining Customer Revenue Contracts
Costs to obtain revenue contracts consist primarily of sales commissions and related payroll taxes paid to the Company’s sales force upon the inception of a contract. The Company capitalizes incremental contract acquisition costs and subsequently amortizes them over the expected benefit period unless the expected benefit period is less than 12 months. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) for contract costs, which are expensed as incurred when the benefit period is less than one year. The Company has not capitalized any incremental contract acquisition costs as these have not been material to date.
Sales Returns, Rebates, Discounts, and Allowances
The Company’s contracts include promises to provide rights of return to customers which range from 15 to 30 days from activation and 15 to 45 days from product purchase as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, as well as promises to issue discounts and provide rebates or allowances to certain retail channel customers if specified conditions are met. Revenues are reduced in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for anticipated sales returns, discounts, and allowances, based on the Company’s analysis of historical sales returns and contractual discounts and allowances. Expected returns, as well as estimated discounts and allowances that have been earned but not yet honored or paid out, are included in accrued and other expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. Actual returns may vary from estimates if the Company experiences a change in actual sales returns or exchange patterns due to unanticipated changes in products or competitive pressures.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues consists of product costs, including contract manufacturing, shipping and handling, depreciation of tooling and manufacturing equipment, warranty replacement, fulfillment costs, warehousing, hosting, and write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory.
Product Warranty
The Company offers a limited warranty for product performance, generally one year from the date of device activation as of December 31, 2020 and one year from the date of original purchase as of December 31, 2019. The warranty obligation allows the Company to either repair or replace a defective product. The Company accrues for future expected warranty claims and records the amount to cost of revenues at the time of sale. The estimate of future warranty claims is based on historical warranty claim experience and known conditions. Estimated warranty liabilities are included in accrued and other expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling activities that are performed prior to the customer obtaining control of the goods are accounted for as fulfillment activities rather than a separate promised good or service. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in product revenues and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $121 and $187, respectively. Shipping and handling costs associated with the
F-31

TABLE OF CONTENTS

distribution of the Company’s product to customers are recorded in cost of revenues when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is generally when the product is delivered to a third-party carrier. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, shipping and handling charges were $1,507 and $1,192, respectively.
Third Party Logistics
Warehousing costs from utilizing Third Party Logistics Providers (3PLs) are recorded in cost of revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, expenses related to 3PLs were $788 and $692, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, consulting and contractor expenses, prototype materials. Substantially all of the Company’s research and development costs are related to developing new products and services and improving existing products and services. To date, research and development expenses have been expensed as incurred.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation related to grants of stock options is measured at fair value on the date of grant. Stock options are measured at fair value based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The related expense is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period, which in no case exceeds the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Determining the grant date fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to the following:
Expected term — The estimate of the expected term of awards was determined in accordance with the simplified method, which estimates the term based on an averaging of the vesting period and contractual term of the option grant.
Expected volatility — Since the Company is a private entity without sufficient historical data on the volatility of its ordinary stock, the expected volatility is based on the volatility of similar entities for a period consistent with the expected term of the award. In evaluating similarity, the Company considered factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, and size.
Risk-free interest rate — The risk-free interest rate used to value awards is based on the United States Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for a period consistent with the expected term of the award.
Dividend yield — The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Fair value of underlying common stock — As the Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, the fair value was determined by the Board of Directors with input from management and contemporaneous independent third-party valuations.

Marketing and advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Marketing and advertising expenses were approximately $15,317 and $13,156 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred taxes represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets may not be realized.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken on its tax returns, and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years, which include the tax years ended December 31, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 based on an assessment of many factors including experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter. Uncertain tax positions are recorded when it is more likely than not that a given tax position would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax positions, is to record such items as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain state and local jurisdictions.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Under the two-class method, net loss is attributed to common stockholders and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considers all series of its redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the convertible preferred stock as the holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses.
Under the two-class method, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For a period in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs— Contracts with Customers, (“Topic 340”), which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a revenue contract with a customer. The Company adopted the requirements of Topic 606 and Topic 340 effective January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition. Adoption of Topic 606 and Topic 340 resulted in the Company recognizing a $52 cumulative effect adjustment to its opening accumulated deficit balance as of January 1, 2019. See “Revenue Recognition” within this note for a description of how the Company is applying this guidance.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). The guidance expands the scope to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and quarters therein with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to adopt the new guidance as of January 1, 2019. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which updated guidance modifying certain fair value measurement disclosures. The guidance contains additional disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to better understand the entity’s assumptions used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, but also eliminates the requirement for entities to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments within the fair value hierarchy. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt the new guidance as of January 1, 2020. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets obtained in exchange for lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods therein. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), guidance simplifying the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740 and amending certain existing guidance for clarity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance was effective beginning March 12, 2020 and can be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform—Scope, which clarified the scope and application of the original guidance. The Company will adopt these standards when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect them to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current guidance. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for derivative scope exception and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Line of Credit
The Company had an amended and restated loan and security agreement (“the A&R LSA”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) as of December 31, 2020, which replaced the loan and security agreement in effect as of December 31, 2019 (the “Original LSA”). Both agreements included a line of credit (the “SVB Revolver”) that provided the Company with a borrowing capacity of $12,500 and $10,000 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Draws against the SVB Revolver were $9,700 and $8,647 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.5% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 6.0% at all other times. As of December 31, 2019, the SVB Revolver bore interest at an annual rate equal to (i) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75%, or 5.75% when a streamline period is in effect and (ii) the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%, or 6.25% at all other times. Each streamline period commences the first day of the month following a written report of the Company’s liquidity and ends the first day after the Company fails to maintain a required cash and cash availability streamline threshold, provided no event of default has occurred and is continuing. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, SVB may maintain the Company’s streamline status at its discretion. The required cash and cash availability streamline threshold was $7,000 and $6,000 as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the Company was within a streamline period as of both December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The actual interest rate on the SVB Revolver was 5.5% and 5.75% as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Original LSA and the A&R LSA both required that the Company meet certain financial covenants. Under the Original LSA, in effect as of December 31, 2019 and up to the April 22, 2020 amendment and restatement at which time the A&R LSA became effective, the financial covenants included the satisfaction of both a maximum cumulative trailing 3-month loss threshold (based on a calculation of EBITDA, plus stock-based compensation expense) and a minimum cash and cash availability requirement. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants as of December 31, 2019. Under the A&R LSA, in effect as of December 31, 2020, the financial covenant required the satisfaction of a maximum year-to-date loss threshold (based on a calculation of EBITDA, plus stock-based compensation expense and loss on extinguishment of debt). The Company was not in compliance with this financial covenant as of December 31, 2020. On March 10, 2021, the Company amended its loan and security agreement (as amended, the “LSA”) to, among other things, waive the existing default and waive any rights and remedies against the Company with respect to the existing default, which includes the financial covenant noncompliance, consent to the merger (see Note 18), and amendments to
F-37

TABLE OF CONTENTS

other provisions of the loan agreement. The amended LSA also set forth new three financial covenants, including a requirement to maintain cash and cash availability of at least $6,000 as of the last day of each month beginning on March 31, 2021, a requirement to complete a qualifying liquidity event with aggregate new net proceeds of at least $50,000 in cash on or before May 31, 2021, and a requirement to agree to terms with SVB on a 2021 EBITDA covenant no later than July 15, 2021.
The LSA defines the SVB Revolver borrowing base as 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 75% of eligible inventory, with an inventory cap of $10,000. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Company’s current and future assets, and the SVB Revolver is cross collateralized with the Term Note (as defined in Note 9). The SVB Revolver also contains a cash collection requirement whereby customer payments are processed through a cash collection account that is controlled by the lender. The SVB Revolver is subject to renewal and is scheduled to mature on April 22, 2022.

Term Note
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a term note payable to SVB (the “Term Note”) with an aggregate principal balance of $7,000, and an interest rate equal to the greater of the prime rate plus 1.00%, or 6.00%. As of December 31, 2019, the Term Note required interest-only payments through April 30, 2020, followed by 30 equal monthly payments of principal beginning on May 1, 2020. On April 22, 2020, the Company amended its Term Note, which allowed the Company to borrow an additional $1,000 at closing, extended the interest-only period through April 30, 2021, and modified the interest rate to be the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 4.50%, or 7.50%. The amendment also included a provision to further extend the interest-only period through October 31, 2021 and allow the Company to borrow an additional $2,000 if it achieved a specified gross profit milestone for the year ended December 31, 2020. On September 22, 2020, the Company further amended the Term Note to change the repayment term from 36 consecutive equal monthly payments of principal to 30 consecutive equal monthly payments of principal beginning on November 1, 2021 and modified the interest rate to the greater of the bank’s prime rate plus 3.50%, or 6.50%. The Company achieved its gross profit milestone and borrowed $2,000 in December 2020. The Term Note had an aggregate principal balance of $10,000 as of December 31, 2020. The Term Note matures on April 1, 2024 and is cross defaulted with the financial covenants on the SVB Revolver (described in Note 8).
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In April 2020, the Company received proceeds from Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) in the amount of $2,075, with SVB as lender for the loan (the “PPP Loan”), under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).
F-38

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the terms of the PPP Loan, interest accrues on the outstanding principal at a rate of 1.0% per annum. The term of the PPP Loan is two years, unless payment is sooner required in connection with an event of default under the PPP Loan. To the extent the PPP Loan amount is not forgiven under the PPP, the Company is obligated to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest, for eight months beginning September 22, 2021, until maturity date of April 22, 2022.
The CARES Act and the PPP provide a mechanism for forgiveness of up to the full amount borrowed. Under the PPP, the Company applied for forgiveness for all of the PPP Loan. However, the Small Business Administration has not made a decision related to the Company’s application for forgiveness.
Future aggregate maturities of notes payable, net of debt discount and issuance costs, were the following:

Related Party Transactions
Convertible Promissory Notes
During 2019, the Company issued $6,500 in convertible promissory notes. The convertible promissory notes bear interest at 5.00% per annum and all outstanding principal and accrued interest is due on the earlier of the two-year anniversary of the initial closing date (August 9, 2021) or upon the closing of a change of control, as defined in the convertible note agreements. If a change of control occurs prior to the two-year anniversary date, and the notes have not already converted, the holders of the convertible promissory notes will receive all outstanding principal and interest plus an amount equal to 100% of the original principal amount. The convertible promissory notes cannot be prepaid without the consent of the majority holders and will automatically convert to preferred stock at 80% of the preferred stock price per share upon a qualified preferred stock equity financing round of at least $15,000, excluding the conversion value of the notes. If the Company sells preferred stock in an equity financing round of less than $15,000, the holders of the convertible promissory notes may elect to convert their notes to preferred stock at 80% of the preferred stock price per share. The convertible promissory notes are subordinated to the SVB Revolver and the Term Note (See Notes 8 and 9). The conversion features represent an embedded derivative that is accounted for at fair value at the reporting date. The fair value of the embedded derivative was determined to be immaterial. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the accrued interest on the convertible promissory notes was $447 and $121, respectively, and the unamortized debt issuance costs were $13 and $31, respectively.

Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $1,221 and $850 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that may include indemnification provisions. Pursuant to such agreements, the Company may indemnify, hold harmless, and defend an indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. Some of the provisions will limit losses to those arising from third party actions. In some cases, the indemnification will continue after the termination of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these provisions is not determinable. The Company has never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. The Company intends to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage that reduces its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements in excess of applicable insurance coverage is immaterial.

In the event of any liquidation event, either voluntarily or involuntary, the holders of the convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Company, the applicable liquidation preference specified for each series of preferred stock then held by them before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of common stock. Liquidation preference is $ $0.7615 for Series A, $1.4452 for Series A-1, $3.1546 for Series B and $2.5237 for Series B-1, each adjusted for any stock splits, combinations, and reorganizations, plus all declared and unpaid dividends on each such share.
If upon the liquidation event, the assets distributed among the holders of the convertible preferred stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full liquidation preference for their shares, then the holders of shares of the Series Preferred stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to their respective amounts, which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid the full preferential amount.
After the payment to the holders of the convertible preferred stock of the full preferential amount specified above, any remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of the Common Stock.
Optional Conversion
Each share of convertible preferred stock is convertible at each stockholder’s option, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, into common stock as determined by dividing the original issue price for each series by the applicable conversion price for such series in effect at the date of conversion. The conversion ratio shall be subject to appropriate adjustments for anti-dilution provisions, including stock splits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, recapitalization events or similar events.
Automatic Conversion
Each share of preferred stock is convertible into common stock at initial conversion rates as shown in the previous table, subject to adjustments based on certain antidilution provisions, including stock splits, stock dividends, subdivision, combinations, recapitalization or similar events, as provided by the Company’s certificate of incorporation. Further, all shares of preferred stock automatically convert into common stock upon the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of preferred stock (including holders of at least 59% of the shares of Series B and B-1 preferred stock, voting together as a single class) or upon the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering of the Company’s common stock with gross aggregate proceeds to the Company of at least $30,000,000 and $4.3356 per share of common stock.
Dividends
The holders of shares of Series A, Series A-1, Series B, and Series B-1 convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends of $0.7615, $1.4452, $3.1546, and $2.5237, respectively, per annum on each share of Series A, Series A-1, Series B, and Series B-1 convertible preferred stock. The dividends are payable in cash,

out of the assets at the time legally available thereof, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, on an equal basis according to the number of shares of convertible preferred stock held by such holders, prior and in preference to the common stock and shall be non-cumulative.
Down Round Anti-dilution Protection
The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that if the Company sells common stock at a price that is lower than any of current conversion prices of the convertible preferred stock, then the conversion price will be reduced to a price based upon a broad-based weighted average formula in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. This feature is frequently referred to as “down-round protection.” The Company has determined that this embedded conversion option is more akin to equity and has not recorded a liability for the instrument as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Redemption
Under certain circumstances, subsequent to the occurrence of a deemed liquidation event as defined in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, a majority of the holders of the then outstanding convertible preferred stock can require the Company to redeem their shares at a price per share equal to the liquidation amount, to the extent that sufficient funds are available.
Voting
The holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the convertible preferred stock could be converted. The Series A and Series A-1 preferred stockholders, voting as a single class (on an as-converted basis), may elect one member of the Board of Directors. The Series B and Series B-1 preferred stockholders, voting as a single class (on an as-converted basis), may elect one member of the Board of Directors. The stockholders of a majority of the common stock, voting separately as a class, may elect two members of the Board of Directors. Any remaining directors, of which there was one as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, are elected by the holders of the common stock and any other class or series of voting stock, as a single class.
Stockholder Rights
The holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock have protective provisions that require preferred stockholders representing a majority of the outstanding convertible preferred stock, voting as a single class (on an as-converted basis), to consent to specific actions including the following: changes in the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that would affect, alter or change the preference or rights of the preferred stock, changes in the authorized number of shares, declaration or payment of dividends, repurchase of shares, changes in the size of the Board of Directors, creation of a new class or series of stock, or taking any action that would cause a liquidation event.
Classification of Convertible Preferred Stock
The redemption provisions of the Series A, Series A-1, Series B, and Series B-1 convertible preferred stock are considered contingent redemption provisions that are not solely within the Company’s control. Also, in the event of a deemed liquidation event, the liquidation preference of the Series A, Series A-1, Series B, and Series B-1 convertible preferred stock are considered contingent redemption provisions that are not solely within the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Company’s convertible preferred stock has been presented outside of permanent equity in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets.

Stock Options and Common Stock Warrants
Stock Options
The Company’s 2014 equity incentive plan, adopted by the Board of Directors on June 30, 2014 (the “Plan”), provides for the grants of equity awards, including incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, and restricted stock unit awards. Under the terms of the Plan, 7,910,651 common shares are authorized for grants to employees, directors and consultants as of December 31, 2020. The Board of Directors determines the terms of each grant. Generally, the stock options have a 10-year contractual life and a vesting period of 4 years, with 1/4th of the options vesting after the first year of service and 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter. The exercise price
F-42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of an option will be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The compensation cost is measured using the fair value method. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur, and options are valued as a single award and measured and recorded using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. There were 1,391,006 shares available for grant under the Plan as of December 31, 2020. Shares issued as a result of stock option exercises are issued as new shares outstanding by the Company or as previously reacquired shares. The shares issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market or otherwise. In the following annual period, no shares are expected to be repurchased as historically the repurchase of shares has been minimal and has not occurred since 2018.
Stock-based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value for balances as of December 31, 2020 was calculated based on the positive differences between the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2020 of $11.78 per share. The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted in 2020 and 2019 was $2.10 per share and $0.98, respectively. The grant date fair value of awards vested in 2020 and 2019 was $842 and $729, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised in 2020 and 2019 was $740 and $690, respectively.
The fair value of each stock option award granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the year ended December 31:
 
2020
2019
Risk-free interest rate
0.46% - 0.51%
1.57% - 2.53%
Expected volatility

Expected dividend yield
0.00%
0.00%
Expected term of options (in years)

5.00 - 6.25
Expected option terms and volatilities were calculated based on historical share prices of comparable companies in the industry. The risk-free interest rate was calculated using similar rates published by the United States Treasury. The Company has no plans to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.
Upon the exercise of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options, the Company derives a tax deduction measured by the excess of the market value over the option price at the date of exercise or disqualifying disposition. The portion of the benefit from the deduction which equals the
F-43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

estimated fair value of the options (previously recognized as compensation expense) is recorded as a credit to the deferred tax asset for non-qualified stock options and is recorded as a credit to current tax expense for any disqualified dispositions of incentive stock options. For disqualifying dispositions, when the amount of the tax deduction is less than the cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized for the award, the amount credited to current tax expense is limited to the tax benefit associated with the tax deduction. All of the tax benefits received upon option exercise for the tax deduction in excess of the estimated fair value of the options are reflected as a component of income tax expense.
In conjunction with a loan agreement and subsequent amendments, the Company issued common stock warrants. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 459,100 and 218,389, respectively, of common stock warrants were outstanding. The common stock warrants are classified as stockholders’ equity and the fair value was recorded to additional paid-in-capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company utilized the Black-Scholes options pricing model and the assumptions in the following table to determine the fair value on the date of grant of the warrants issued:

Related Party Stock Repurchase Agreement
In 2018, the Company received $2,000 as part of a financing transaction involving sales of its convertible preferred stock. As part of the financing transaction, the related parties agreed to sell back to the Company an equivalent number of shares of common stock to protect other shareholders from further dilution. The related parties received promissory notes totaling $824, all of which was collateralized with the Stock Pledge Agreement for the pledged shares. The related parties also entered into a call option agreement with the Company to grant the Company the right to repurchase the shares at $1.30 per share. In February 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of common stock pledged as collateral. In addition to the repurchase of their shares, the related parties paid $13 in interest upon settlement of the promissory note, which is recorded within other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, if any, of approximately $59,082. NOLs, except those generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, will begin to expire in 2034. The Company has approximately $23,785 in NOLs that will begin to expire in 2034. The remaining NOLs, approximately $35,297, were generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and will carry forward indefinitely.
Accounting standards require that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences, and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the realization is more likely than not. Realization of the future tax benefits from the net operating losses or credit carryforwards, if any, is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the applicable carryforward period. The Company has established a full valuation allowance due to historical cumulative losses and the uncertainty of its ability to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.
The utilization of the NOL carryforwards could be subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards if it experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. Additionally, net operating losses utilized after 2017 would be limited to 80% of taxable income in years in which NOL carryforwards would be utilized.
Uncertain tax positions are recorded when it is more likely than not that a given tax position would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Based on positions taken in the Company’s tax filings, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure, and there are no material amounts of unrecognized tax benefits.
The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s social security payments, NOL carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the

net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. This new legislation did not impact the current year provision. The Company will continue to monitor the possible impacts of the CARES Act in the future periods.

Defined Contribution Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan. Participation in the plan is available to substantially all employees. Company contributions to the plan are discretionary. Starting in 2019, the Company made matching contributions of 50.0% of the first 6.0% of each participating employee’s eligible compensation, subject to vesting requirements over four years. Total expense recognized from the 401(k) matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $225 and $60, respectively.
In January 2021, the Company amended its defined contribution plan. The amended plan retroactively changes the vesting period of the Company’s matching contributions from four years to one year.

Business Combination Agreement with Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation
On February 15, 2021, the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation (“Sandbridge”) and Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”). If the Business Combination is consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandbridge and then being renamed “Owlet, Inc.” (“New Owlet”). The Company’s board of directors unanimously approved the Company’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement.
As a consequence of the Merger, at the effective time of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of the Company’s capital stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will become the right to receive the number of shares of New Owlet’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“New Owlet common stock”), equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (ii) each option to purchase shares of Owlet common stock, whether vested or unvested, that is not a Cash Elected Company Option (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be assumed by New Owlet and will automatically become an option (vested or unvested, as applicable) to purchase a number of shares of New Owlet common stock equal to the number of shares of Owlet common stock subject to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, at an exercise price per share equal to the exercise price per share of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, (iii) subject to certain limitations, each Cash Elected Option that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (iv) each share of Owlet common stock that is subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase (proportionately adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio) which risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase shall lapse in accordance with the same vesting schedule as that of the shares of Owlet common stock that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, were subject to a risk of forfeiture or right of repurchase at the original purchase price as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
The Business Combination Agreement provides that the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger are conditioned on, among other things, that as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the amount of cash available in Sandbridge’s trust account, after deducting the amount required to satisfy Sandbridge’s obligations to its stockholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem their public shares in connection with the stockholders’ approval of such transactions, less any deferred underwriting commissions being held in Sandbridge’s trust account less certain transaction expenses of Sandbridge, is at least equal to $140.0 million. This condition is for the sole benefit of the Company.
The Business Combination Agreement is also subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions, including, among other things, Owlet and Sandbridge’s performance of their covenants and agreements and no legal restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the transactions.
Amendment to Related Party Convertible Notes and Outstanding Warrants
In connection with a potential business combination, in February 2021, the Company amended its outstanding related party convertible notes payable to provide that the notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock immediately prior to the consummation of the potential business combination or, at the holder’s election, trigger the repayment of the outstanding principal and accrued interest at the consummation of the potential business combination. Additionally, the Company amended its outstanding convertible preferred stock and common stock warrants to provide that the warrants will be cashless exercised into convertible preferred stock and common stock, respectively, immediately prior to the consummation of the potential business combination if the resulting purchase price of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and common stock exceeds the respective exercise price of the warrants.
