the ratios or covenants contained in the First Lien Facility could result in an event of default, which could adversely affect our ability to respond to changes in our business and manage our operations. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the terms of the First Lien Facility, including the occurrence of a material adverse change, the lenders could elect to declare any amounts outstanding to be due and payable and exercise other remedies as set forth in the First Lien Facility. If any indebtedness under our First Lien Facility were to be accelerated, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be materially adversely affected.

We may need additional capital, and failure to raise additional capital on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to meet our debt and other obligations, grow our business or develop or enhance our service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to meet commitments, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as refinancing or restructuring indebtedness, selling material assets or operations or seeking to raise additional debt or equity capital. If we need to refinance all or part of our indebtedness at or before maturity, to the extent such indebtedness remains outstanding after the consummation of the business combination, the PIPE subscription financing and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We have at times entered into informal arrangements with suppliers under which we paid our suppliers later than the terms of our agreements required to manage our cash flows. If we are not able to meet our commitments in the future for any reason, our creditors could seek to enforce remedies against us, including actions to put us into bankruptcy proceedings or receivership, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may also require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including our growth initiatives and any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue, or to refinance our existing indebtedness. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities, or obtain another credit facility. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock. If we raise additional capital through equity, our existing stockholders may experience dilution. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would further restrict our operations, and the instruments governing such indebtedness could contain provisions that are as, or more, restrictive than our existing debt instruments. Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of IT services companies, conditions in the capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds, our future results of operations and financial condition, the terms of our credit facilities and general economic and political conditions. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and could limit our ability to grow our business and develop or enhance our service offerings to respond to market demand or competitive challenges.

We may not have sufficient cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand and available borrowings under current or new credit arrangements to finance required capital expenditures and other costs under new contracts and meet other cash needs, including earnout obligations in connection with prior acquisitions.

Our business generally requires significant upfront working capital and/or capital expenditures for software customization and implementation, systems and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. In connection with the signing or renewal of a service contract, a customer may seek to obtain new equipment or impose new service requirements, which may require additional capital expenditures or other costs in order to enter into or retain the contract. Historically, we have funded these upfront costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under the First Lien Facility.

In addition, since we currently utilize third-party consultants to deliver a large portion of our services, we may incur upfront costs (which may be significant) prior to receipt of any revenue under such arrangements. Our ability to generate revenue and to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels or our ability to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms.

In connection with prior acquisitions, we are required to make earnout payments to the sellers if certain metrics relating to the acquired businesses have been achieved. As of March 31, 2021, we had accrued $10.4 million in earnout payments as liabilities that we owe in connection with prior acquisitions. Out of the $10.4 million balance, approximately 75% is fixed and 25% is still contingent to the achievement of certain performance metrics in connection with the AgileThought LLC acquisition. The contingent earnout liability accrued is measured to fair value by an

independent third-party expert. In order for us to make those earnout payments, in addition to having sufficient cash resources to make the payments themselves, we must be in pro forma compliance after giving effect to the earnout payments with liquidity and other financial and other covenants included in the First Lien Facility. We have not been able to satisfy those covenants to date in connection with the accrued earnout payments. If we are unable to satisfy those covenants and the First Lien Facility remains outstanding, or if we otherwise have insufficient cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand or access to borrowed funds, we will be unable to make the accrued earnout payments as well as future earnout payments that may accrue. As of December 31, 2020, under our agreements for prior acquisitions, there are up to $11.0 million in potential earnout payments that may become due based on metrics relating to the performance of the AgileThought LLC acquisition for the 2021 fiscal year, which would be payable in 2022 if the applicable metrics are achieved. There can be no assurance that in the event we are unable to make any such earnout payments, the sellers will not seek legal action against us, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we do not have adequate liquidity or are unable to obtain financing for these upfront costs and other cash needs on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to pursue certain contracts, which could result in the loss of business or restrict the ability to grow. Moreover, we may not realize the return on investment that we anticipate on new or renewed contracts due to a variety of factors, including lower than anticipated scope of or expansion in the services we provide to the applicable clients under the contracts, higher than anticipated capital or operating expenses and unanticipated regulatory developments or litigation. We may not have adequate liquidity to pursue other aspects of our strategy, including increasing our sales activities directed at the U.S. market or pursuing acquisitions. In the event we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities or refinancing or repaying existing debt or other obligations, we may need to raise additional capital either through the public or private issuance of equity or debt securities, by entering into new credit facilities or by attempting to access the revolver portion of the First Lien Facility, which sources of funds may not necessarily be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have significant fixed costs related to lease facilities.

We have made and continue to make significant contractual commitments related to our leased facilities. Our operating lease expense related to land and buildings for 2020 and 2019 was $2.5 million and $1.7 million, net of reimbursements respectively. These expenses will have a significant impact on our fixed costs, and if we are unable to grow our business and revenue proportionately, our operating results may be negatively affected.

Risks Related to AT’s Business and Industry

The currently evolving outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, pandemic, has impacted demand for our services and disrupted our operations and may continue to do so.

The COVID-19 outbreak has emerged as a serious threat to the health and economic well-being of our customers, employees, and the overall economy. Since the beginning of the outbreak, many countries and states have taken dramatic action including, without limitation, ordering all non-essential workers to stay home, mandating the closure of schools and non-essential business premises and imposing isolation measures on large portions of the population. These measures, while intended to protect human life, have had serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies and the severity and the duration of these is highly uncertain. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts, including proposed government payments to affected citizens and industries, continue to be uncertain and many economists are predicting extended local or global recessions. The accelerating number of deaths and hospitalizations resulting from this disease are further exacerbating the uncertainties and challenges facing our business.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on several of our customers during 2020, as several larger customers either postponed projects or developed or undertook internally technology initiatives instead of using our services to do so. This has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our opportunities for growth, whether through an increase in business or through acquisitions. The effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the global financial markets may also reduce our ability to access capital and could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. The financial uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may also negatively impact pricing for our services or cause our clients to again reduce or postpone their technology spending significantly and/or in the long-term, which may, in turn, lower the demand for our services and negatively affect our revenue, profitability and cash flows, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Furthermore, if any of our employees become ill with COVID-19 and are unable to work, then our ability to deliver for our clients and run our business could be negatively affected, which may in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, to the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described in this “Risk Factors” section which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We have taken certain precautions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that could harm our business.

From the beginning of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken precautionary measures intended to help minimize the risk of the virus to our employees, our customers, and the communities in which we participate, which we intend to continue and could negatively impact our business. As a company with employees, customers, partners and investors in many countries, we believe in upholding our company value of being good citizens by doing our part to help slow the spread of the virus. To this end, we have enabled substantially all of our employees to work remotely in compliance with relevant government advice and have generally suspended all non-essential travel worldwide for our employees. In addition, we have cancelled or postponed company-sponsored events, including employee attendance at industry events and non-essential in-person work-related meetings. While we have a distributed workforce and our employees are accustomed to working remotely or working with other remote employees, our workforce is not fully remote. Our employees travel frequently to establish and maintain relationships with one another and with our customers, and many of our business processes assume that employees can meet with customers and prospective customers in person. Although we continue to monitor the situation and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available, temporarily suspending travel and doing business in-person could negatively impact our marketing efforts, challenge our ability to enter into customer contracts in a timely manner, slow down our recruiting efforts, or create operational or other challenges, including decreased productivity, as we adjust to a fully-remote workforce, any of which could harm our business. There is no guarantee that any of these precautions will fully protect our employees and/or customers or enable us to maintain our productivity. The full extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and our precautionary measures related thereto may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will depend on future developments, which are still uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.

We are dependent on our largest clients, and if we fail to maintain these relationships or successfully obtain new engagements, we may not achieve our revenue growth and other financial goals.

Historically, a significant percentage of our annual revenue has come from our existing client base. For example, during 2020 and 2019, 92.5% and 77.5% of our revenue came from clients from whom we also generated revenue during the prior fiscal year, respectively. On a pro forma basis, giving effect of the AgileThought LLC acquisition as if it had occurred since January 1, 2018, 93.5% and 97.1% of our revenue during 2020 and 2019 came from clients from whom we also generated revenue during the prior fiscal year respectively. However, the volume of work performed for a specific client is likely to vary from year to year, especially since we generally do not have long-term contractual commitments from our clients and are often not our clients’ exclusive IT services provider. A major client in one year may not provide the same level of revenue for us in any subsequent year. Further, one or more of our significant clients could be acquired, and there can be no assurance that the acquirer would choose to use our services to the same degree as previously, if at all. Our largest client for each of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 accounted for 17.6% and 13.1% of our revenue, respectively, and our ten largest clients for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 accounted for 67.0% and 66.3% of our revenue, respectively.

In addition, the services we provide to our clients, and the revenue and income from those services, may decline or vary as the type and quantity of services we provide changes over time. In addition, our reliance on any individual client for a significant portion of our revenue may give that client a certain degree of pricing leverage against us when re-negotiating contracts and terms of service. In order to successfully perform and market our services, we must establish and maintain multi-year, close relationships with our clients and develop a thorough understanding of their businesses. Our ability to maintain these close relationships is essential to the growth and profitability of our business. If we fail to maintain these relationships or successfully obtain new engagements from our existing clients, we may not achieve our revenue growth and other financial goals.

We generally do not have long-term contractual commitments from our clients, and our clients may terminate engagements before completion or choose not to enter into new engagements with us.

We generally do not have long-term contractual commitments with our clients. Our clients can terminate many of our master services agreements and work orders with or without cause, in some cases subject only to 30 days’ prior notice in the case of termination without cause. Although a substantial majority of our revenue is typically generated from existing clients, our engagements with our clients are typically for projects that are singular in nature. Large and complex projects may involve multiple engagements or stages, and a client may choose not to retain us for additional stages or may cancel or delay additional planned engagements.

Even if we successfully deliver on contracted services and maintain close relationships with our clients, a number of factors outside of our control could cause the loss of or reduction in business or revenue from our existing clients. These factors include, among other things:

•        the business or financial condition of that client or the economy generally;

•        a change in strategic priorities of that client, resulting in a reduced level of spending on IT services;

•        changes in the personnel at our clients who are responsible for procurement of IT services or with whom we primarily interact;

•        a demand for price reductions by that client;

•        mergers, acquisitions or significant corporate restructurings involving that client; and

•        a decision by that client to move work in-house or to one or more of our competitors.

The loss or diminution in business from any of our major clients could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The ability of our clients to terminate agreements exacerbates the uncertainty of our future revenue. We may not be able to replace any client that elects to terminate or not renew its contract with us. Further, terminations or delays in engagements may make it difficult to plan our project resource requirements.

We may not be able to recover our or sustain revenue growth rate consistent with the rate prior to COVID-19 pandemic.

We have experienced rapid revenue growth in recent periods. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our revenue increased by 57.2% from $110.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2018 to $173.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. Our business was adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we experienced a decline in our revenue from $173.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 to $164.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $37.2 million, a 20.2% decrease from $46.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We may not be able to recover our revenue growth consistent with the rate prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or at all. You should not consider our revenue growth in periods prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as indicative of our future performance. As we seek to grow our business, our future revenue growth rate may be impacted by a number of factors, such as the ongoing impact of COVID-19 pandemic fluctuations in demand for our services, increasing competition, difficulties in integrating acquired companies, decreasing growth of our overall market, our inability to engage and retain a sufficient number of information technology, or IT, professionals or otherwise scale our business, rising wages in the markets in which we operate or our failure, for any reason, to capitalize on growth opportunities, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Recent acquisitions and potential future acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and strain our resources, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In July 2019 we (under our previous corporate name AN Global Inc.) completed our acquisition of AgileThought, LLC, or AgileThought, and in November 2018 we completed our acquisition of 4th Source, Inc., or 4th Source, both of which expanded our client base and business operations in the United States. In addition, we have completed nine other acquisitions during the last five fiscal years. In the future, we plan to acquire additional businesses that we believe could complement or expand our business. Integrating the operations of acquired businesses successfully or otherwise realizing any of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, including anticipated cost savings and additional revenue

opportunities, involves a number of potential challenges. In addition, we have previously and may in the future use earn-out arrangements in connection with acquisitions. Using earn-out arrangements to consummate an acquisition, pursuant to which we agree to pay additional amounts of contingent consideration based on the achievement of a predetermined metric, has at times and may continue to make our integration efforts more complicated. We have also previously and may in the future negotiate restructured earn-out arrangements following the closing of acquisitions, which causes a diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns and may result in additional cost in connection with the applicable acquisitions.

The failure to meet the integration challenges stemming from our acquisitions could seriously harm our financial condition and results of operations. Realizing the benefits of acquisitions depends in part on the integration of operations and personnel. These integration activities are complex and time-consuming, and we may encounter unexpected difficulties or incur unexpected costs, including:

•        our inability to achieve the operating synergies anticipated in the acquisitions;

•        diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns to integration matters or earn-out calculations, restructurings or disputes;

•        challenges in consolidating and rationalizing IT platforms and administrative infrastructures;

•        complexities associated with managing the geographic separation of the combined businesses and consolidating multiple physical locations;

•        difficulties in retaining IT professionals and other key employees and achieving minimal unplanned attrition;

•        difficulties in integrating personnel from different corporate cultures while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high quality service;

•        our inability to exert control of acquired businesses that include earn-out payments or the risk that actions incentivized by earn-out payments will hinder integration efforts;

•        our inability to demonstrate to our clients and to clients of acquired businesses that the acquisition will not result in adverse changes in client service standards or business focus;

•        possible cash flow interruption or loss of revenue as a result of transitional matters; and

•        inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition costs.

Acquired businesses may have liabilities or adverse operating issues that we fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition. In particular, to the extent that prior owners of any acquired businesses or properties failed to comply with or otherwise violated applicable laws or regulations, or failed to fulfill their contractual obligations to clients, we, as the successor owner, may be financially responsible for these violations and failures and may suffer financial or reputational harm or otherwise be adversely affected. Our acquisition targets may not have as robust internal controls over financial reporting as would be expected of a public company. Acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets which are subject to potential impairment in the future that could harm our financial results. We took impairment charges of $16.7 million and $6.6 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily related to prior acquisitions in Latin America, and we may take material impairment charges in the future related to acquisitions. We may also become subject to new regulations as a result of an acquisition, including if we acquire a business serving clients in a regulated industry or acquire a business with clients or operations in a country in which we do not already operate. In addition, if we finance acquisitions by incurring debt under credit facilities or issuing notes and are unable to realize the expected benefits of those acquisitions for any reason, we may be unable to repay, refinance or restructure that indebtedness when payment is due, and the lenders of that indebtedness could proceed against any collateral granted to secure such indebtedness or force us into bankruptcy or liquidation. If we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities, our existing stockholders may also be diluted, which could affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions, and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. Acquisitions frequently involve benefits related to the integration of operations of the acquired business. The failure to successfully integrate the operations or otherwise to realize any of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition could seriously harm our results of operations.

Strategic acquisitions to complement and expand our business have been and will likely remain an important part of our competitive strategy. If we fail to acquire companies whose prospects, when combined with our company, would increase our value, then our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

We have expanded, and may continue to expand, our operations through strategically targeted acquisitions of additional businesses. On occasion, selective acquisitions have expanded our service capabilities, geographic presence, or client base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully integrate any acquired businesses without substantial expense, delays or other operational or financial risks and problems. In addition, any client satisfaction or performance problems within an acquired business could have a material adverse impact on our corporate reputation and brand. We cannot assure you that any acquired businesses will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings. Any failure to manage our acquisition strategy successfully could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We must attract and retain highly skilled IT professionals. Failure to hire, train and retain IT professionals in sufficient numbers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In order to sustain our growth, we must attract and retain a large number of highly skilled and talented IT professionals. While our headcount decreased from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020, the decrease is primarily attributable to actions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our headcount increased in the first quarter of 2021 and we anticipate that we will need to significantly increase our headcount as our business grows. Our business is driven by people and, accordingly, our success depends upon our ability to attract, train, motivate, retain and effectively utilize highly skilled IT professionals in our delivery locations, which currently are principally located in Mexico and the United States. We believe that there is significant competition for technology professionals in the geographic regions in which our offices are located and in locations in which we intend to establish future offices and that such competition is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, given our delivery locations in the United States, we must attract and retain a growing number of IT professionals with English language proficiency, which could further limit the talent base from which we can hire. Increased hiring by technology companies and increasing worldwide competition for skilled IT professionals may lead to a shortage in the availability of suitable personnel in the locations where we operate and hire. Our ability to properly staff projects, maintain and renew existing engagements and win new business depends, in large part, on our ability to recruit, train and retain IT professionals. We are currently focused on growing our workforce through university recruiting; however, this strategy and any other strategies we employ to hire, train and retain our IT professionals may be inadequate or may fail to achieve our objectives. Failure to hire, train and retain IT professionals in sufficient numbers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Furthermore, the technology industry generally experiences a significant rate of turnover of its workforce. There is a limited pool of individuals who have the skills and training needed to help us grow our company. We compete for such talented individuals not only with other companies in our industry but also with companies in other industries, such as healthcare, financial services and technology generally. High attrition rates of IT personnel would increase our hiring and training costs, reduce our revenues and could have an adverse effect on our ability to complete existing contracts in a timely manner, meet client objectives and expand our business.

We may not be successful in building a university recruiting and hiring program, which could hamper our ability to scale our business and grow revenue.

As part of our growth strategy, we are focused on growing our workforce through university recruiting. In particular, we intend to focus our university recruitment efforts on Mexico and the United States. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to recruit and train a sufficient number of qualified university hires or that we will be successful in retaining these future employees. We may not be successful in building a reputable brand on college campuses or deepening and sustaining relationships with university administrations which could hinder our ability to grow our workforce through university hiring. Increased university hiring by technology companies, particularly in Latin America and the United States, and increasing worldwide competition for skilled technology professionals may lead to a shortage in the availability of qualified university personnel in the locations where we operate and hire. Failure to hire and train or retain qualified university graduates in sufficient numbers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Increases in our current levels of attrition may increase our operating costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The technology industry generally experiences a significant rate of turnover of its workforce. Excluding resignations occurring within the first year of employment and adjusting for business dispositions or discontinued business and non-core projects, our total adjusted attrition rates for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 were 17.0% and 20.8%, respectively. If our attrition rate were to increase, our operating efficiency and productivity may decrease. We compete for talented individuals not only with other companies in our industry but also with companies in other industries, such as software services, engineering services and financial services companies, among others. High attrition rates of IT personnel could have an adverse effect on our ability to expand our business, may cause us to incur greater personnel expenses and training costs, and may otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our revenue is dependent on a limited number of industry verticals, and any decrease in demand for IT services in these verticals or our failure to effectively penetrate new verticals could adversely affect our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Historically, we have focused on developing industry expertise and deep client relationships in a limited number of industry verticals. As a result, a substantial portion of our revenue has been generated by clients operating in financial services, healthcare and professional services industries. Our business growth largely depends on continued demand for our services from clients in the financial services, healthcare and professional services industries, and any slowdown or reversal of the trend to spend on IT services in these verticals could result in a decrease in the demand for our services and materially adversely affect our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In the verticals in which we operate, there are numerous competitors that may be entrenched with potential clients we target and which may be difficult to dislodge. As a result of these and other factors, our efforts to expand our client base may be expensive and may not succeed, and we therefore may be unable to grow our revenue. If we fail to further penetrate our existing industry verticals or expand our client base into new verticals, we may be unable to grow our revenue and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be harmed.

Other developments in the verticals in which we operate may also lead to a decline in the demand for our services, and we may not be able to successfully anticipate and prepare for any such changes. For example, consolidation or acquisitions, particularly involving our clients, may adversely affect our business. Our clients and potential clients may experience rapid changes in their prospects, substantial price competition and pressure on their profitability. This, in turn, may result in increasing pressure on us from clients and potential clients to lower our prices, which could adversely affect our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our contracts could be unprofitable, and any failure by us to accurately estimate the resources required to complete a contract on time and on budget could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We perform our services primarily on a time-and-materials basis. Revenue from our time-and-materials contracts represented 87.5% and 88.2%, respectively, of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. We charge out the services performed by our employees under these contracts at daily or hourly rates that are specified in the contract. The rates and other pricing terms negotiated with our clients are highly dependent on our internal forecasts of our operating costs and predictions of increases in those costs influenced by wage inflation and other marketplace factors, as well as the volume of work provided by the client. Our predictions are based on limited data and could turn out to be inaccurate, resulting in contracts that may not be profitable. Typically, we do not have the ability to increase the rates established at the outset of a client project other than on an annual basis and often subject to caps. Independent of our right to increase our rates on an annual basis, client expectations regarding the anticipated cost of a project may limit our practical ability to increase our rates for ongoing work.

In addition to time-and-materials contracts, we also perform our services under fixed-price and managed services contracts. Revenue from our fixed-price and managed services contracts represented 12.5% and 11.8%, respectively, of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. Our pricing in fixed-price and managed services contracts is highly dependent on our assumptions and forecasts about the costs we expect to incur to complete the related project, which are based on limited data and could turn out to be inaccurate. Any failure by us to accurately

estimate the resources, including the skills and seniority of our employees, required to complete a fixed-price or managed services contract on time and on budget or meet a service level on a managed services contract, or any unexpected increase in the cost of our employees assigned to the related project, office space or materials could expose us to risks associated with cost overruns and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Customers may be unable or unwilling to recognize phases or partial delivery of our services, thereby delaying their recognition of our work, which would impact our cash collection cycles. Customers may also not be able or willing to recognize phases or partial delivery of our services, which may delay payment for work we delivery, and which could negatively impact our cash collection cycles. In addition, any unexpected changes in economic conditions that affect any of our assumptions and predictions could render contracts that would have been favorable to us when signed unfavorable.

Our operating results could suffer if we are not able to maintain favorable pricing.

Our operating results are dependent, in part, on the rates we are able to charge for our services. Our rates are affected by a number of factors, including:

•        our clients’ perception of our ability to add value through our services;

•        our competitors’ pricing policies;

•        bid practices of clients and their use of third-party advisors;

•        the ability of large clients to exert pricing pressure;

•        employee wage levels and increases in compensation costs;

•        employee utilization levels;

•        our ability to charge premium prices when justified by market demand or the type of service; and

•        general economic conditions.

If we are not able to maintain favorable pricing for our services, our operating results could suffer.

If we do not maintain adequate employee utilization rates and productivity levels, our operating results may suffer and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Our operating results and the cost of providing our services are affected by the utilization rates of our employees in our delivery locations. If we are not able to maintain appropriate utilization rates for our employees involved in delivery of our services, our operating results may suffer. Our utilization rates are affected by a number of factors, including:

•        our ability to promptly transition our employees from completed projects to new assignments and to hire and integrate new employees;

•        our ability to forecast demand for our services and maintain an appropriate number of employees in each of our delivery locations;

•        our ability to deploy employees with appropriate skills and seniority to projects;

•        our ability to maintain continuity of existing resources on existing projects;

•        our ability to manage the attrition of our employees; and

•        our need to devote time and resources to training, including language training, professional development and other activities that cannot be billed to our clients.

Our revenue could also suffer if we misjudge demand patterns and do not recruit sufficient employees to satisfy demand. Employee shortages could prevent us from completing our contractual commitments in a timely manner and cause us to lose contracts or clients. Further, to the extent that we lack a sufficient number of employees with lower levels of seniority and daily or hourly rates, we may be required to deploy more senior employees with higher rates on projects without the ability to pass such higher rates along to our clients, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Additionally, our revenue could suffer if we experience a slowdown or stoppage of service for any clients or on any project for which we have dedicated employees and we are not be able to efficiently reallocate these employees to other clients to keep their utilization and productivity levels high. If we are not able to maintain high resource utilization levels without corresponding cost reductions or price increases, our operating results will suffer and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

We are focused on growing our client base in the United States and may not be successful.

We are focused on geographic expansion, particularly in the United States. In 2019 and 2020, 48.9% and 69.0% of our revenue came from clients in the United States, respectively.

We have made significant investments to expand our business in the United States, including our acquisitions of 4th Source in November 2018 and of AgileThought in July 2019, which increased our sales presence in the United States and added onshore and nearshore delivery capacity in Latin America and in the United States. However, our ability to acquire new clients will depend on a number of factors, including market perception of our services, our ability to successfully add nearshore capacity and pricing, competition and overall economic conditions. If we are unable to retain existing clients and attract new clients in the United States or if our expansion plans take longer to implement than expected or their costs exceed our expectations, we may be unable to grow our revenue and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to effectively manage our growth or achieve anticipated growth, which could place significant strain on our management personnel, systems and resources.

We have experienced growth and significantly expanded our business over the past several years, both organically and through acquisitions. We intend to continue to grow our business in the foreseeable future and to pursue existing and potential market opportunities. We have also increased the size and complexity of the projects that we undertake for our clients and hope to continue being engaged for larger and more complex projects in the future. As we add new delivery sites, introduce new services or enter into new markets, we may face new market, technological and operational risks and challenges with which we are unfamiliar, and we may not be able to mitigate these risks and challenges to successfully grow those services or markets. We may not be able to achieve our anticipated growth or successfully execute large and complex projects, which could materially adversely affect our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our future growth depends on us successfully recruiting, hiring and training IT professionals, expanding our delivery capabilities, adding effective sales staff and management personnel, adding service offerings, maintaining and expanding our engagements with existing clients and winning new business. Effective management of these and other growth initiatives will require us to continue to improve our infrastructure, execution standards and ability to expand services.

If we cannot maintain our culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, creativity and teamwork fostered by our culture, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

We believe that a critical contributor to our success has been our culture, which is the foundation that supports and facilitates our distinctive approach. As we grow and are required to add more employees and infrastructure to support our growth, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain our corporate culture. If we fail to maintain a culture that fosters career development, innovation, creativity and teamwork, we could experience difficulty in hiring and retaining IT professionals and other valuable employees. Failure to manage growth effectively could adversely affect the quality of the execution of our engagements, our ability to attract and retain IT professionals and other valuable employees, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, as we continue to integrate and acquire business as part of our growth strategy we risk preserving our culture, values and our entrepreneurial environment. Integrating acquisitions into our business can be particularly difficult due to different corporate cultures and values, geographic distance and other intangible factors.

We face intense competition.

The market for IT services is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change and evolving industry standards and we expect competition to intensify. We believe that the principal competitive factors that we face are the ability to innovate; technical expertise and industry knowledge; end-to-end solution offerings; delivery location; price; reputation and track record for high-quality and on-time delivery of work; effective employee recruiting; training and retention; and responsiveness to clients’ business needs.

Our primary competitors include next-generation IT service providers, such as EPAM Systems, Inc., Endava Plc, Infosys Limited and Globant S.A., global consulting and traditional global IT service companies such as Accenture plc, Capgemini SE, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation and International Business Machines Corporation, or IBM; and in-house IT and development departments of our existing and potential clients. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater name recognition than we do. As a result, they may be able to compete more aggressively on pricing or devote greater resources to the development and promotion of IT services. Companies based in some emerging markets also present significant price competition due to their competitive cost structures and tax advantages.

In addition, there are relatively few barriers to entry into our markets and we have faced, and expect to continue to face, competition from new market entrants. Further, there is a risk that our clients may elect to increase their internal resources to satisfy their IT service needs as opposed to relying on third-party service providers. The IT services industry may also undergo consolidation, which may result in increased competition in our target markets from larger firms that may have substantially greater financial, marketing or technical resources, may be able to respond more quickly to new technologies or processes and changes in client demands, and may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their services than we can. Increased competition could also result in price reductions, reduced operating margins and loss of our market share. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors or that competitive pressures will not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are dependent on members of our senior management team.

Our future success heavily depends upon the continued services of our senior management team. We currently do not maintain key person life insurance for any of the members of our senior management team. In addition, we do not have employment agreements with all of the members of our senior management team. Even those employees with whom we have employment agreements or other arrangements may terminate their employment with us with or without cause, often with limited notice. If one or more of our senior executives are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, it could disrupt our business operations, and we may not be able to replace them easily, on a timely basis or at all. In addition, competition for senior executives in our industry is intense, and we may be unable to retain our senior executives or attract and retain new senior executives in the future, in which case our business may be severely disrupted, and our financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

If any of our senior management team joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose clients, suppliers, know-how and IT professionals and staff members to them. Also, if any of our sales executives or other sales personnel, who generally maintain close relationships with our clients, joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose clients to that company, and our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected. Additionally, there could be unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge, business practices or procedures by such personnel. Any non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure agreements we have with our senior executives or key employees might not provide effective protection to us in light of legal uncertainties associated with the enforceability of such agreements.

Our CEO and Chairman of our board of directors has a personal loan which may become due if the business combination does not close.

Our CEO and Chairman of our board of directors has a personal loan which, absent repayment, will become due if the business combination does not close. In connection with that loan, he has pledged 30% of his shares of AT common stock as collateral. While our board and stockholders are aware of and have approved these arrangements, our CEO’s potential personal obligation to repay the loan in the event the business combination does not close is an interest that is different from and in addition to the interests of our other executive officers and directors. LIVK’s shareholders should take this interest into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination.

Forecasts of our market size may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, there can be no assurance that our business will grow at similar rates, or at all.

Growth forecasts included in this proxy statement/prospectus relating to our market opportunity and the expected growth in the market for our services are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on both internal and third-party assumptions and estimates which may prove to be inaccurate. Even if these markets meet our size estimates

and experience the forecasted growth, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including our success in implementing our business strategy. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth included in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will suffer if we are not successful in delivering contracted services.

Our operating results are dependent on our ability to successfully deliver contracted services in a timely manner. We must consistently build, deliver and support challenging and complex projects and managed services. Failure to perform or observe any contractual obligations could damage our relationships with our clients and could result in cancellation or non-renewal of a contract. Some of the challenges we face in delivering contracted services to our clients include:

•        maintaining high-quality control and process execution standards;

•        maintaining planned resource utilization rates on a consistent basis;

•        maintaining employee productivity and implementing necessary process improvements;

•        controlling costs;

•        maintaining close client contact and high levels of client satisfaction;

•        maintaining physical and data security standards required by our clients;

•        recruiting and retaining sufficient numbers of skilled IT professionals; and

•        maintaining effective client relationships.

If we are unable to deliver contracted services, our relationships with our clients will suffer and we may be unable to obtain new engagements. In addition, it could damage our reputation, cause us to lose business, impact our operating margins and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as subject us to breach of contract claims.

If we do not successfully manage and develop our relationships with key partners or if we fail to anticipate and establish new partnerships in new technologies, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

We have partnerships with companies whose capabilities complement our own. A significant portion of our revenue and services and solutions are based on technology or software provided by a few major partners.

The business that we conduct through these partnerships could decrease or fail to grow for a variety of reasons. The priorities and objectives of our partners may differ from ours, and our partners are not prohibited from competing with us or forming closer or preferred arrangements with our competitors. In addition, some of our partners are also large clients or suppliers of technology to us. The decisions we make vis-à-vis a partner may impact our ongoing relationship. In addition, our partners could experience reduced demand for their technology or software, including, for example, in response to changes in technology, which could lessen related demand for our services and solutions.

We must anticipate and respond to continuous changes in technology and develop relationships with new providers of relevant technology. We must secure meaningful partnerships with these providers early in their life cycle so that we can develop the right number of certified people with skills in new technologies. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with current partners and identify new and emerging providers of relevant technology to expand our network of partners, we may not be able to differentiate our services or compete effectively in the market.

If we do not obtain the expected benefits from our partnerships for any reason, we may be less competitive, our ability to offer attractive solutions to our clients may be negatively affected, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

Our sales of services and operating results may experience significant variability and our past results may not be indicative of our future performance.

Our operating results may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. You should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance.

Factors that are likely to cause these variations include:

•        the number, timing, scope and contractual terms of projects in which we are engaged;

•        delays in project commencement or staffing delays due to difficulty in assigning appropriately skilled or experienced professionals;

•        the accuracy of estimates on the resources, time and fees required to complete projects and costs incurred in the performance of each project;

•        inability to retain employees or maintain employee utilization levels;

•        changes in pricing in response to client demand and competitive pressures;

•        the business decisions of our clients regarding the use of our services or spending on technology;

•        the ability to further grow sales of services from existing clients and the ability to substitute revenue from engagements with governmental clients as we discontinue new engagements with governmental entities;

•        seasonal trends and the budget and work cycles of our clients;

•        delays or difficulties in expanding our operational facilities or infrastructure;

•        our ability to estimate costs under fixed price or managed services contracts;

•        employee wage levels and increases in compensation costs;

•        unanticipated contract or project terminations;

•        the timing of collection of accounts receivable;

•        our ability to manage risk through our contracts;

•        the continuing financial stability of our clients;

•        changes in our effective tax rate or unanticipated tax assessments;

•        impacts of any acquisitions and our ability to successfully integrate any acquisitions;

•        the implementation of new laws or regulations and/or changes to current applicable laws or regulations or their interpretation or application;

•        uncertainly and disruption to the global markets including due to public health pandemics, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic;

•        fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

•        general economic conditions.

As a result of these factors, our operating results may from time to time fall below our estimates or the expectations of public market analysts and investors.

We operate in a rapidly evolving industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to be successful.

The IT services industry is competitive and continuously evolving, subject to rapidly changing demands and constant technological developments. As a result, success and performance metrics are difficult to predict and measure in our industry. Because services and technologies are rapidly evolving and each company within the industry can vary greatly in terms of the services it provides, its business model, and its results of operations, it can be difficult to predict how any company’s services, including ours, will be received in the market. Neither our past financial performance nor the past financial performance of any other company in the IT services industry is indicative of how our company will fare financially in the future. Our future profits may vary substantially from those of other companies and those we have achieved in the past, making an investment in our company risky and speculative. If our clients’ demand for our services declines as a result of economic conditions, market factors or shifts in the technology industry, our business would suffer and our financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, a long selling and implementation cycle with respect to certain projects that require us to make significant resource commitments prior to realizing revenue for our services.

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, a long selling cycle with respect to certain projects that require significant investment of human resources and time by both our clients and us. Before committing to use our services, potential clients may require us to allocate substantial time and resources educating them on the value of our services and our ability to meet their requirements. Therefore, our selling cycle is subject to many risks and delays over which we have little or no control, including our clients’ decision to choose alternatives to our services (such as other IT service providers or in-house resources) and the timing of our clients’ budget cycles and approval processes. If our sales cycle unexpectedly lengthens for one or more projects, it could affect the timing of our recognition of revenue and hinder or delay our revenue growth. For certain clients, we may begin work and incur costs prior to executing the contract. A delay in our ability to obtain a signed agreement or other persuasive evidence of an arrangement, or to complete certain contract requirements in a particular financial period, could reduce our revenue in that financial period or render us entirely unable to collect payment for work already performed.

Implementing our services also involves a significant commitment of resources over an extended period of time from both our clients and us. Our clients may experience delays in obtaining internal approvals or delays associated with technology, thereby further delaying the implementation process. Our current and future clients may not be willing or able to invest the time and resources necessary to implement our services, and we may fail to close sales with potential clients to which we have devoted significant time and resources. Any significant failure to generate revenue or delays in recognizing revenue after incurring costs related to our sales or services process could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we provide inadequate service or cause disruptions in our clients’ businesses, it could result in significant costs to us, the loss of our clients and damage to our corporate reputation, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Any defects or errors or failure to meet clients’ expectations in the performance of our contracts could result in claims for substantial damages against us. In addition, certain liabilities, such as claims of third parties for intellectual property infringement and breaches of data protection and security requirements, for which we may be required to indemnify our clients, could be substantial. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us in amounts greater than those covered by our then-current insurance policies could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Even if such assertions against us are unsuccessful, we may incur reputational harm and substantial legal fees. In addition, a failure or inability to meet a contractual requirement, in addition to subjecting us to breach of contract claims, could seriously damage our corporate reputation and limit our ability to attract new business.

In certain contracts, we agree to complete a project by a scheduled date or maintain certain service levels. We may suffer reputational harm and loss of future business if we do not meet our contractual commitments. In addition, if the project experiences a performance problem, we may not be able to recover the additional costs we will incur to remediate the problem, which could exceed revenue realized from a project. Under our managed services contracts, we may be required to pay liquidated damages if we are unable to maintain agreed-upon service levels, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Our business depends on a strong brand and corporate reputation. Damage to our reputation could be difficult and time-consuming to repair, could make potential or existing clients reluctant to select us for new engagements resulting in a loss of business and could adversely affect our employee recruitment and retention efforts, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Since many of our specific client engagements involve highly tailored solutions, our corporate reputation is a significant factor in our clients’ and prospective clients’ determination of whether to engage us. We believe our brand name and our reputation are important corporate assets that help distinguish our services from those of our competitors and also contribute to our efforts to recruit and retain talented IT professionals. Successfully maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, our ability to provide reliable services that continue to meet the needs of our clients at competitive prices, our ability to maintain our clients’ trust, our ability to continue to develop new services, and our ability to successfully differentiate our services and capabilities from those of our competitors. Our brand promotion activities may not generate client awareness or yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may suffer.

Our corporate reputation is susceptible to damage by actions or statements made by current or former employees or clients, competitors, vendors and adversaries in legal proceedings, as well as members of the investment community and the media. In addition, if errors are discovered in our historical financial data, we could suffer reputational damage. There is a risk that negative information about our company, even if based on false rumor or misunderstanding, could adversely affect our business. In particular, damage to our reputation could be difficult and time-consuming to repair, could make potential or existing clients reluctant to select us for new engagements, resulting in a loss of business, and could adversely affect our employee recruitment and retention efforts. Damage to our reputation could also reduce the value and effectiveness of our brand name and could reduce investor confidence in us and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we do not continue to innovate and remain at the forefront of next-generation technologies and related market trends, we may lose clients and not remain competitive, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Our success depends on delivering innovative solutions that leverage emerging next-generation technologies and emerging market trends to drive increased revenue. Technological advances and innovation are constant in the IT services industry. As a result, we must continue to invest significant resources to stay abreast of technology developments so that we may continue to deliver solutions that our clients will wish to purchase. If we are unable to anticipate technology developments, enhance our existing services or develop and introduce new services to keep pace with such changes and meet changing client needs, we may lose clients and our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could suffer. Our results of operations would also suffer if our employees are not responsive to the needs of our clients, not able to help clients in driving innovation and not able to help our clients in effectively bringing innovative ideas to market. Our competitors may be able to offer design and innovation services that are, or that are perceived to be, substantially similar or better than those we offer. This may force us to reduce our prices and to allocate significant resources in order to remain competitive, which we may be unable to do profitably or at all. Because many of our clients and potential clients regularly contract with other IT service providers, these competitive pressures may be more acute than in other industries.

Our ability to expand our business and procure new contracts or enter into beneficial business arrangements could be affected to the extent we enter into agreements with clients containing non-competition clauses.

We have in the past and may in the future enter into agreements with clients that restrict our ability to accept assignments from, or render similar services to, those clients’ customers, require us to obtain our clients’ prior written consent to provide services to their customers or restrict our ability to compete with our clients, or bid for or accept any assignment for which those clients are bidding or negotiating. These restrictions could hamper our ability to compete for and provide services to other clients in a specific industry in which we have expertise and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to collect on billed and unbilled receivables from clients, which may in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.

Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our clients of the amounts they owe us for work performed. We evaluate the financial condition of our clients and usually bill and collect on relatively short cycles. We maintain provisions against receivables. Actual losses on client balances could differ from those that we currently anticipate and, as a result, we may need to adjust our provisions. We may not accurately assess the creditworthiness of our clients. Macroeconomic conditions, such as a potential credit crisis in the global financial system, could also result in financial difficulties for our clients, including limited access to the credit markets, insolvency or bankruptcy. Such conditions could cause clients to delay payment, request modifications of their payment terms, or default on their payment obligations to us, all of which could increase our receivables balance. Timely collection of fees for client services also depends on our ability to complete our contractual commitments and subsequently bill for and collect our contractual service fees. If we are unable to meet our contractual obligations, we might experience delays in the collection of or be unable to collect our client balances, which would adversely affect our results of operations and our cash flows. In addition, if we experience an increase in the time required to bill and collect for our services, our cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition and prospects.

If we are unable to comply with our security obligations or our computer systems are or become vulnerable to security breaches, we could face reputational damage and lose clients and revenue, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

The services we provide are often critical to our clients’ businesses. Certain of our client contracts require us to comply with security obligations, which could include breach notification and remediation obligations, maintaining network security and backup data, ensuring our network is virus-free, maintaining business continuity planning procedures, and verifying the integrity of employees that work with our clients by conducting background checks. Any failure in a client’s system, whether or not a result of or related to the services we provide, or breach of security relating to the services we provide to the client, could adversely affect our business, including by damaging our reputation or resulting in a claim for substantial damages against us. Our liability for security breaches of our or a client’s systems or breaches of data security requirements, for which we may be required to indemnify our clients, may be extensive. Any failure of our equipment or systems, or any disruption to basic infrastructure like power and telecommunications in the locations in which we operate, could impede our ability to provide services to our clients, have a negative impact on our reputation, cause us to lose clients, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Additionally, our failure to continuously upgrade or increase the reliability and redundancy of our infrastructure to meet the demands of our customers could adversely affect the functioning and performance of our services and could in turn affect our results of operations. Any steps we take to increase the security, reliability and redundancy of our systems may be expensive and may not be successful in preventing system failures.

In addition, we often have access to or are required to collect, store and otherwise process confidential client data. If any person, including any of our employees or former employees, accidentally or intentionally, penetrates our network security, exposes our data or code, or misappropriates data or code that belongs to us, our clients, or our clients’ customers, we could be subject to significant liability from our clients or our clients’ customers for breaching contractual obligations or applicable privacy laws, rules and regulations. Unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client and customer data, including personal data, whether through breach of our computer systems, systems failure, loss or theft of confidential information or intellectual property belonging to our clients or our clients’ customers, or otherwise, could damage our brand and reputation, cause us to lose clients and revenue, and result in financial and other potential losses by us. For more information, see “Risk Factors—We are subject to stringent and changing regulatory, legislative and industry standard developments regarding privacy and data security matters, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.”

We are also subject to numerous commitments in our contracts with our clients. Significant unavailability of our services due to attacks could cause users to claim breach of contract and cease using our services, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We also may be subject to liability claims if we breach our contracts, including as a result of any accidental or intentional breach of our security.

Despite the procedures, systems and internal controls we have implemented to comply with our contracts, we may breach these commitments, whether through a weakness in these procedures, systems and internal controls, the negligence or the willful act of an employee or contractor. Our insurance policies, including our errors and omissions insurance, which we only maintain in select jurisdictions, may be inadequate to compensate us for the potentially significant losses that may result from claims arising from breaches of our contracts, disruptions in our services, failures of or disruptions to our infrastructure, catastrophic events and disasters or otherwise. In addition, such insurance may not be available to us in the future on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or our insurance could undergo a change in policy including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements. Further, our insurance may not cover all claims made against us and defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly and divert management’s attention.

We are subject to stringent and changing regulatory, legislative and industry standard developments regarding privacy and data security matters, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

We, along with a significant number of our clients, are subject to a variety of federal, state, local and international laws, rules, regulations and industry standards related to data privacy and cybersecurity, and restrictions or technological requirements regarding the processing, collection, use, storage, protection, retention or transfer of data. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and, as a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

For example, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, or the GDPR, came into force in May 2018 and contains numerous requirements and changes from prior EU law, including more robust obligations on data processors and data controllers, heavier documentation requirements for data protection compliance programs, greater control over personal data by data subjects (e.g., the “right to be forgotten”), increased data portability for data subjects, data breach notification requirements and increased fines. In particular, under the GDPR, fines of up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual global revenue of the noncompliant company, whichever is greater, could be imposed for violations of certain of the GDPR’s requirements. The GDPR requirements apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information between us and our subsidiaries, including employee information.

If our efforts to comply with GDPR or other applicable EU laws and regulations are not successful, or are perceived to be unsuccessful, it could adversely affect our business in the EU. Further, in July 2020, the European Court of Justice, or the ECJ, invalidated the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, which had enabled the transfer of personal data from the EU to the U.S. for companies that had self-certified to the Privacy Shield. The ECJ decision also raised questions about the continued validity of one of the primary alternatives to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, namely the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, and EU regulators have issued additional guidance regarding considerations and requirements that we and other companies must consider and undertake when using the Standard Contractual Clauses. Although the EU has presented a new draft set of contractual clauses, at present, there are few, if any, viable alternatives to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and the Standard Contractual Clauses. To the extent that we were to rely on the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield programs, we will not be able to do so in the future, and the ECJ’s decision and other regulatory guidance or developments may impose additional obligations with respect to the transfer of personal data from the EU and Switzerland to the U.S., each of which could restrict our activities in those jurisdictions, limit our ability to provide our products and services in those jurisdictions, or increase our costs and obligations and impose limitations upon our ability to efficiently transfer personal data from the EU and Switzerland to the U.S.

Further, the exit of the United Kingdom, or the UK, from the EU, often referred to as Brexit, has created uncertainty with regard to data protection regulation in the UK. Specifically, the UK exited the EU on January 31, 2020, subject to a transition period that ended December 31, 2020. As of January 1, 2021, following the expiry of such transition period, data processing in the UK is governed by a UK version of the GDPR (combining the GDPR and the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018), exposing us to two parallel regimes, each of which authorizes similar fines and other potentially divergent enforcement actions for certain violations. Additionally, under the post-Brexit Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the EU and the UK, the UK and the EU have agreed that transfers of personal data to the UK from EEA member states will not be treated as ‘restricted transfers’ to a non-EEA country for a period of up to four months from January 1, 2021, plus a potential further two months extension (the “Extended Adequacy Assessment Period”). Although the current maximum duration of the Extended Adequacy Assessment Period is six months, it may end sooner, for example, in the event that the European Commission adopts an adequacy decision in respect of the UK, or the UK amends the UK GDPR and/or makes certain changes regarding data transfers under the

UK GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018 without the consent of the EU (unless those amendments or decisions are made simply to keep relevant UK laws aligned with the EU’s data protection regime). If the European Commission does not adopt an ‘adequacy decision’ in respect of the UK prior to the expiry of the Extended Adequacy Assessment Period, from that point onwards the UK will be an ‘inadequate third country’ under the GDPR and transfers of personal data from the EEA to the UK will require a ‘transfer mechanism’ such as the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Another example is the recently adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or the CCPA, in the United States, which became effective on January 1, 2020. The CCPA establishes a new privacy framework for covered businesses by creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new data privacy rights for California residents, imposing special rules on the collection of data from minors, and creating a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA and for businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. The CCPA provides for severe 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. In addition, it is anticipated the CCPA will be expanded on January 1, 2023, when the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, or the CPRA, becomes operative. The CPRA will, among other things, give California residents the ability to limit use of certain sensitive personal information, further restrict the use of cross-contextual advertising, establish restrictions on the retention of personal information, expand the types of data breaches subject to the CCPA’s private right of action, provide for increased penalties for CPRA violations concerning California residents under the age of 16, and establish a new California Privacy Protection Agency to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA. While aspects of the CPRA and its interpretation remain to be determined in practice, they create further uncertainty and may result in additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Additionally, on March 2, 2021, the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, or the CDPA, was signed into law. The CDPA becomes effective beginning January 1, 2023, and contains provisions that require businesses to conduct data protection assessments in certain circumstances, and that require opt-in consent from consumers to process certain sensitive personal information. These laws could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States, which could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business. Additionally, all 50 states now have data breach laws that require timely notification to individuals, and at times regulators, the media or credit reporting agencies, if a company has experienced the unauthorized access or acquisition of personal information. More than a dozen states require that reasonable information security protections be used to protect personal information. If we fail to comply with any applicable privacy laws, rules, regulations, industry standards and other legal obligations, we may be subject to the aforementioned penalties, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

Also, in the United States, further laws, rules and regulations to which we may be subject include those promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act and state cybersecurity and breach notification laws, as well as regulator enforcement positions and expectations. Globally, governments and agencies have adopted and could in the future adopt, modify, apply or enforce laws, rules, policies, regulations and standards covering user privacy, data security, technologies such as cookies that are used to collect, store or process data, marketing online, the use of data to inform marketing, the taxation of products and services, unfair and deceptive practices, and the collection, including the collection, use, processing, transfer, storage or disclosure of data associated with unique individual internet users. New regulation or legislative actions regarding data privacy and security, together with applicable industry standards, may increase the costs of doing business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

While we have taken steps to mitigate the impact of the GDPR and other laws, rules, regulations and standards on us, including by implementing certain security measures and mechanisms, the efficacy and longevity of these mechanisms remains uncertain. Despite our ongoing efforts to bring practices into compliance, we may not be successful either due to various factors within our control, such as limited financial or human resources, or other factors outside our control. Our efforts could fail and result in unauthorized access to or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of data. It is also possible that local data protection authorities may have different interpretations of the GDPR and other laws, rules, regulations and standards to which we are subject, leading to potential inconsistencies amongst various EU member states. Because the interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws, rules and regulations along with contractually imposed industry standards are uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the features of our services and platform capabilities. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits, regulatory

investigations, imprisonment of company officials and public censure, other claims and penalties, significant costs for remediation and damage to our reputation, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our services and platform capabilities, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Certain of our clients require solutions that ensure security given the nature of the content being distributed and associated applicable regulatory requirements. In particular, our U.S. healthcare industry clients may rely on our solutions to protect information in compliance with the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the 2009 Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, the Final Omnibus Rule of January 25, 2013, and related regulations, which are collectively referred to as HIPAA, and which impose privacy and data security standards that protect individually identifiable health information by limiting the uses and disclosures of individually identifiable health information and requiring that certain data security standards be implemented to protect this information. As a “business associate” to “covered entities” that are subject to HIPAA, such as certain healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses, we also have our own compliance obligations directly under HIPAA and pursuant to the business associate agreements that we are required to enter into with our clients that are HIPAA-covered entities and any vendors we engage that access, use, transmit or store individually identifiable health information in connection with our business operations. Compliance efforts can be expensive and burdensome, and if we fail to comply with our obligations under HIPAA, our required business associate agreements or applicable state data privacy laws and regulations, we could be subject to regulatory investigations and orders, significant fines and penalties, mitigation and breach notification expenses, private litigation and contractual damages, corrective action plans and related regulatory oversight and reputational harm.

We make public statements about our use and disclosure of personal information through our privacy policies, information provided on our website and press statements. Although we endeavor to comply with our public statements and documentation, we may at times fail to do so or be alleged to have failed to do so. The publication of our privacy policies and other statements that provide promises and assurances about data privacy and security can subject us to potential government or legal action if they are found to be deceptive, unfair or misrepresentative of our actual practices. Any concerns about our data privacy and security practices, even if unfounded, could damage the reputation of our business and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure or perceived failure, including as a result of deficiencies in our policies, procedures, or measures relating to privacy, data protection, marketing, client communications or information security, by us to comply with laws, rules, regulations, policies, legal or contractual obligations, industry standards, or regulatory guidance relating to data privacy or security, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, significant fines and penalties or adverse publicity, and could cause our clients and partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, rules, regulations and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, marketing, client communications and information security in the United States, the EU and other jurisdictions, and we cannot determine the impact such future laws, rules, regulations and standards may have on our business. Current and future laws, rules, regulations, standards and other obligations or any changed interpretation of existing laws, rules, regulations or standards could impair our ability to develop and market new services and maintain and grow our client base and increase revenue.

Our client relationships, revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected if we experience disruptions in our internet infrastructure, telecommunications or IT systems.

Disruptions in telecommunications, system failures, internet infrastructure issues, computer attacks, natural disasters, terrorism and loss of adequate power could damage our reputation and harm our ability to deliver services to our clients, which could result in client dissatisfaction, a loss of business, damage to our brand and reputation and related reduction of our revenue. We may not be able to consistently maintain active voice and data communications between our various global operations and with our clients due to disruptions in telecommunication networks and power supply, system failures or computer attacks. Any failure in our ability to communicate could result in a disruption in business, which could hinder our performance and our ability to complete projects on time. Such failure to perform our client contracts could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected by negative publicity about offshore outsourcing or anti-outsourcing legislation in the countries in which our clients operate.

Concerns that offshore outsourcing has resulted in a loss of jobs, sensitive technologies and information to foreign countries have led to negative publicity concerning outsourcing in some countries. Many organizations and public figures in the United States have publicly expressed concern about a perceived association between offshore outsourcing IT service providers and the loss of jobs. Current or prospective clients may elect to perform services that we offer, or may be discouraged from transferring these services to offshore providers, to avoid any negative perceptions that may be associated with using an offshore provider or for data privacy and security concerns. As a result, our ability to compete effectively with competitors that operate primarily out of facilities located in the United States could be harmed. Legislation enacted in the United States and certain other jurisdictions in which we operate and any future legislation in countries in which we have clients that restricts the performance of services from an offshore location could also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Cybersecurity attacks, breaches or other technological failures or security incidents, and changes in laws and regulations related to the internet or changes in the internet infrastructure itself, may diminish the demand for our services and could have a negative impact on our business.

The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the internet as a primary medium for commerce, communication and business applications. International, federal state and foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws, rules, regulations and standards affecting the use of the internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws, rules, regulations and standards could adversely affect the demand for our services or require us to modify our solutions in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations may begin to impose taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the internet or commerce conducted via the internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of internet-related commerce or communications generally, resulting in reductions in the demand for IT services.

We and our vendors and outsourced data center operations are subject to cybersecurity attacks, breaches or other technological failures which can include ransomware, viruses, worms, malware, phishing attacks, data breaches, denial or degradation of service attacks, social engineering attacks, terrorism, service disruptions, failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, unauthorized access attempts, including third parties gaining access to systems or client accounts using stolen or inferred credentials and similar malicious programs, behavior, and events. Our systems and our vendors’ systems are also subject to compromise from internal threats, such as theft, misuse, unauthorized access or other improper actions by employees and other third parties with otherwise legitimate access. In addition, we have experienced outages and other delays. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a majority of our office employees are working remotely, which may increase the risk of cyber incidents or data breaches. We could experience a security breach resulting in the unauthorized use or disclosure of certain types of data, including client data, and personal information, that could put individuals at risk of identity theft and financial or other harm, resulting in costs to us, including as related to loss of business, severe reputational damage, reduced demand for our services, regulatory investigations or inquiries, remediation costs, indemnity obligations, legal defense costs and liability to parties who are financially harmed, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. Such events could also compromise our trade secrets or other confidential, proprietary or sensitive information and result in such information being disclosed to third parties and becoming less valuable. A cybersecurity attack could also result in significant degradation or failure of our computer systems, communications systems or any other systems in the performance of our services, which could cause our clients or their employees to suffer delays in their receipt of our services. These delays could cause substantial losses for our clients and their employees, and we could be liable to parties who are financially harmed by those failures. In addition, such failures could cause us to lose revenues, lose clients or damage our reputation, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The frequency and impact of cybersecurity attacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase and evolve in nature. Given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of data security-related incidents and fraudulent activity, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent, detect or mitigate system failures, breaches in our systems or other cyber incidents or that we can remediate any such incidents in an effective or timely manner. Furthermore, because the methods of attack and deception change frequently, are increasingly complex and sophisticated, and can originate from a wide variety of sources, including third parties such as vendors and even

nation-state actors, despite our reasonable efforts to ensure the integrity of our systems and website, it is possible that we may not be able to anticipate, detect, appropriately react and respond to, or implement effective preventative measures against, all security breaches and failures and fraudulent activity. In the event we experience significant disruptions, we may be unable to repair our systems in an efficient and timely manner. If our services or security measures are perceived as weak or are actually compromised as a result of third-party action, employee or client error, malfeasance, or otherwise, our clients may curtail or stop using our services, our brand and reputation could be damaged, our business may be harmed, and we could incur significant liability. As we increase our client adoption and our brand becomes more widely known and recognized, we may become more of a target for third parties seeking to compromise our security systems or gain unauthorized access to our or our clients’ data.

We also cannot ensure that insurance coverage will be available on acceptable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims related to a security incident or breach, or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could adversely affect our reputation and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may not be entitled to forgiveness of our recently received PPP Loans, and our application for the PPP Loans could in the future be determined to have been impermissible or could adversely affect our reputation and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In May 2020, we received aggregate proceeds of approximately $9.2 million from loans under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act, or the PPP Loans, some of which have been and an additional portion of which may in the future be forgiven, which we used to retain current employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. The PPP Loans mature in May 2022 and bears annual interest at a rate of 1%. We submitted forgiveness applications on our four PPP Loans in November 2020, and have received $1,447,600 in forgiveness on three PPP Loans that had an original loan value of $1,715,600, including the forgiveness in full of one of the PPP Loans. A portion of the remaining PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA based upon our submitted application. We will be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and we cannot provide any assurance that we will be eligible for loan forgiveness, or that any additional amount of the PPP Loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA. Under the CARES Act, as amended by the Flexibility Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 8 week or 24 week (at our election) period beginning on the date of loan approval. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. The amount of the PPP Loans eligible for forgiveness will be reduced if our full-time headcount declined, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually were reduced by more than 25%. Furthermore, on April 28, 2020, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury stated that the SBA will perform a full review of any PPP loan over $2.0 million before forgiving the loan.  We recently received notice from the SBA that at least one of our PPP loans will be fully reviewed by the SBA.  In accordance with the Flexibility Act, PPP loans received prior to June 5, 2020 may be extended to a five-year maturity if both the lender and the recipient agree. There can be no assurances made that we will seek a five-year term or if we ask for a five-year term, that it will be agreed upon and granted by the lender.

In order to apply for the PPP Loans, we were required to certify, among other things, that the current economic uncertainty made the PPP Loan request necessary to support our ongoing operations. We made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, our financial situation and access to alternative forms of capital, and believe that we satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP Loans, and that our receipt of the PPP Loans is consistent with the broad objectives of the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act, as amended by the Flexibility Act. The certification described above does not contain any objective criteria and is subject to interpretation. The lack of clarity regarding loan eligibility under the Paycheck Protection Program has resulted in significant media coverage and controversy, particularly with respect to large or public companies applying for and receiving loans. If, despite our good-faith belief that given our circumstances we satisfied all eligible requirements for the PPP Loans, we are later determined to have violated any of the laws or governmental regulations that apply to us in connection with the PPP Loans, such as the False Claims Act, or it is otherwise determined that we were ineligible to receive the PPP Loans, we may be subject to penalties, including significant civil, criminal and administrative penalties and could be required to repay the PPP Loans in their entirety. In addition, receipt of the PPP Loans may result in adverse publicity and damage to reputation, and a review or audit by the SBA or other government entity or claims under the False Claims

Act could consume significant financial and management resources. Should we be audited or reviewed by federal or state regulatory authorities as a result of filing an application for forgiveness of the PPP Loan or otherwise, such audit or review could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention and legal and reputational costs. If we were to be audited or reviewed and receive an adverse determination or finding in such audit or review, we could be required to return the full amount of the PPP Loans. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Risks Related to Becoming a Public Company

We have not been managed as a public company, and our current resources may not be sufficient to fulfill our public company obligations.

Following the completion of the business combination, New AT will be subject to various regulatory requirements, including those of the SEC and Nasdaq. These requirements include record keeping, financial reporting and corporate governance rules and regulations. Our current management team does not have experience in managing a public company. We have not historically had the resources typically found in a public company. Our internal infrastructure may not be adequate to support its increased reporting obligations, and it may be unable to hire, train or retain necessary staff and may be reliant on engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of experience or employees. Our business could be adversely affected if its internal infrastructure is inadequate, if we are unable to engage outside consultants or if we are otherwise unable to fulfill public company obligations.

We will incur significantly increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance efforts.

We will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses as a result of being a public company. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), as well as related rules implemented by the SEC, have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. In addition, rules that the SEC is implementing or is required to implement pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to require additional changes. We expect that compliance with these and other similar laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, will substantially increase our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We also expect these laws, rules and regulations to make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage, which may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as officers. Although the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) may, for a limited period of time, somewhat lessen the cost of complying with these additional regulatory and other requirements, we nonetheless expect a substantial increase in legal, accounting, insurance and certain other expenses in the future, which will negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and if our remediation of such material weaknesses is not effective, or if we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.

As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  These material weaknesses identified relate to the timely reconciliation and analysis of certain key accounts, the segregation of duties and review of journal entries, and proper application of revenue recognition. We have concluded that these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting occurred because we have been a highly acquisitive private company and did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel and formalized internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company.

While we intend to implement a plan to remediate these material weaknesses, we cannot predict the success of such plan or the outcome of our assessment of this plan at this time, and we can give no assurance that our planned implementation of a new financial system will remediate the deficiencies in internal control or that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Our failure to successfully remediate the material weaknesses and otherwise establish and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements, cause covenant breaches under our debt and/or other agreements, cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, reduce investor confidence in us, materially and adversely affect the value of our common stock, and have  a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could detect problems that our management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could lead to financial statement restatements, cause covenant breaches under our debt and/or other agreements, cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations, reduce investor confidence in us, materially and adversely affect the value of our common stock, and have  a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks Related to AT’s Intellectual Property

We may not secure sufficient intellectual property rights or obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce such rights sufficiently to comply with our obligations to our clients or protect our brand and we may not be able to prevent unauthorized use of or otherwise protect our intellectual property, thereby eroding our competitive advantages and harming our business.

Our contracts generally require, and our clients typically expect, that we will assign to them all intellectual property rights associated with the deliverables that we create in connection with our engagements. In order to validly assign these rights to our clients, we must ensure that we obtain all intellectual property rights that our employees and contractors may have in such deliverables. We endeavor to enter into agreements with our employees and contractors in order to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information, as well as to assign to us all intellectual property rights they develop in connection with their work for us. However, we cannot ensure that all employees and independent contractors — or any other party who has access to our confidential information or contributes to the development of our intellectual property — have signed assignment of inventions agreements with us validly assigning such rights to us or that we will be able to enforce our rights under any such agreements. Such agreements may not be self-executing or may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. Given that we operate in a variety of jurisdictions with different and evolving legal regimes, particularly in Latin America and the United States, we face increased uncertainty regarding whether we fully own all intellectual property rights in such deliverables and whether we will be able to avail ourselves of the remedies provided for by applicable law.

Further, our current and former employees could challenge our exclusive rights to the software they have developed in the course of their employment. In certain countries in which we operate, an employer is deemed to own the copyrightable work created by its employees during the course, and within the scope, of their employment, but the employer may be required to satisfy additional legal requirements in order to make further use and dispose of such works. We cannot ensure that we have complied with all such requirements or fulfilled all requirements necessary to acquire all rights in software developed by our employees and independent contractors. These requirements are often ambiguously defined and enforced. As a result, we may not be successful in defending against any claim by our current or former employees or independent contractors challenging our exclusive rights over the use and transfer of works those employees or independent contractors created or requesting additional compensation for such works. Protecting our intellectual property is thus a challenge, especially after our employees or our contractors end their relationships with us, and, in some cases, decide to work for our competitors.

Our success also depends in part on our ability to obtain, maintain, protect defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks and certain methodologies, practices, tools and technical expertise we utilize in designing, developing, implementing and maintaining applications and other intellectual property rights. In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual

arrangements as well as trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, though we have not sought patent protection for any of our proprietary technology. However, the steps we take to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We will not be able to protect our intellectual property rights if we are unable to enforce our rights, detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights or, with respect to our trademarks and brand name, obtain registered trademarks in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Other parties, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our services or design around our intellectual property and, in such cases, we may not be able to assert our intellectual property rights against such parties and our business, financial condition, results of operation or prospects may be harmed. Any trademarks or other intellectual property rights that we have or may obtain may be challenged or circumvented by others or invalidated, narrowed in scope or held unenforceable through administrative process or litigation. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property protection may not be available to us in every country in which our services are available. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States, and mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be inadequate. Moreover, policing unauthorized use of our technologies, trade secrets and intellectual property may be difficult, expensive and time-consuming, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not be as protective of intellectual property rights as those in the United States and where mechanisms for enforcement of intellectual property rights may be weak. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights.

We regard our intellectual property, including our trademarks, trade names and service marks, as having significant value, and our brand is an important factor in the marketing of our services. We intend to rely on both registration and common law protection for our trademarks. We own trademark registrations for the AGILETHOUGHT trademark and logo in the United States. We also own pending trademark applications and registrations for the AGILETHOUGHT trademark in other jurisdictions in which we operate or may operate in the future; for example, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica and Colombia.

We cannot assure you that any future trademark registrations will be issued from pending or future trademark applications or that any registered trademarks will be enforceable or provide adequate protection of our proprietary rights, including with respect to branding. Our trademarks or trade names have in the past and may in the future be opposed, challenged, infringed, circumvented, diluted, declared generic, lapsed or determined to be infringing on other marks. For example, Sistemas Globales S.A. d/b/a Globant has opposed our application for AGILETHOUGHT in Argentina, based on its prior registration for AGILE PODS (Reg. No. 2706379). Opposition proceedings typically take 3-4 years to resolve in Argentina, and we cannot assure you that our application will survive such proceedings. We also own registrations for AGILETHOUGHT INSIGHTFUL SOLUTIONS :: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES and HUMAN POTENTIAL, DIGITALLY DELIVERED in the United States. During the trademark registration process, we have and may in the future receive Office Actions or other objections from the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, or the USPTO, or equivalent foreign offices objecting to the registration of our trademarks. Although we are given an opportunity to respond to those objections, we may be unable to overcome such objections. Additionally, in the USPTO and equivalent foreign offices in many jurisdictions, third parties are given an opportunity to oppose pending trademark applications and to seek the cancellation of registered trademarks. Opposition or cancellation proceedings may be filed against our trademarks, and our trademarks may not survive such proceedings.

The value of our intellectual property could diminish if others assert rights in or ownership of our trademarks and other intellectual property rights, or trademarks that are similar to our trademarks. We may be unable to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. In some cases, litigation or other actions may be necessary to protect, defend or enforce our trademarks and other intellectual property rights. We may not be able to protect our rights to our trademarks and trade names, which we need for name recognition by our current and potential clients. We may be subject to liability, required to enter into costly license agreements, required to rebrand our services or prevented from selling some of our services if third parties successfully oppose or challenge our trademarks or successfully claim that we infringe or otherwise violate their trademarks or other intellectual property rights. At times, competitors may adopt trade names or trademarks similar or identical to ours, thereby impeding our ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of our registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names. If we are unable to obtain a registered trademark, establish name recognition based on our trademarks

and trade names or otherwise enforce or protect our proprietary rights related to our trademarks or other intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and enforce these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. An adverse determination of any litigation proceedings could put our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in the event of litigation. In addition, during the course of litigation there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Negative publicity related to a decision by us to initiate such enforcement actions against a client or former client, regardless of its accuracy, may adversely impact our other client relationships or prospective client relationships, harm our brand and business and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Our failure to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information, our business and competitive position may be harmed.

We consider proprietary trade secrets and confidential know-how to be important to our business. However, trade secrets and confidential know-how can be difficult to maintain as confidential. We cannot guarantee that we have entered into confidentiality agreements with each party that has or may have had access to our proprietary information, know-how and trade secrets. Moreover, no assurance can be given that any confidentiality agreements will be effective in controlling access to and distribution, use, misuse, misappropriation, reverse engineering or disclosure of our proprietary information, know-how and trade secrets. Such agreements may also be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies, including equitable remedies, for any such breach. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data, trade secrets and know-how by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our IT systems. While we have confidence in such systems and tools, agreements or security measures may be breached.

Monitoring unauthorized uses and disclosures is difficult, and we do not know whether the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary technologies will be effective. We cannot guarantee that our trade secrets and other proprietary and confidential information have not or will not be disclosed or that competitors have not or will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets. Current or former employees, consultants, contractors and advisers may unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to competitors, and confidentiality agreements may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and used trade secrets or confidential know-how could be expensive, time consuming and unpredictable. Trade secret violations are often a matter of state law, and the enforceability of confidentiality agreements and the criteria for protection of trade secrets may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property or other proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Consequently, we may be unable to prevent our trade secrets from being exploited abroad, which could affect our ability to expand to foreign markets or require costly efforts to protect our proprietary rights. Furthermore, if a competitor lawfully obtained or independently developed any of our trade secrets, we would have no right to prevent such competitor from using that technology or information, which could harm our competitive position. If the steps taken to maintain our trade secrets are inadequate, we may have insufficient recourse against third parties for misappropriating our trade secrets.

Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our trade secrets and other confidential business information could substantially harm the value of our brand and business. The theft or unauthorized use or publication of our trade secrets and other confidential business information could reduce the differentiation of our services, substantially and adversely impact our commercial operations and harm our business. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our trade secret rights and related confidentiality and nondisclosure

provisions. If we fail to obtain or maintain trade secret protection, or if our competitors otherwise obtain our trade secrets, our competitive market position could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, some courts are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets and agreement terms that address non-competition are difficult to enforce in many jurisdictions and might not be enforceable in certain cases. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to claims by third parties asserting that we, our employees or companies we have acquired, have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property, or claiming ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property, which may be costly and time consuming. Unfavorable results of legal and administrative proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be subject to claims by third parties that we, our employees or companies that we have acquired, have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated the intellectual property of such third parties. We cannot assure you that the services and technologies that we have developed, are developing or may develop in the future will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate existing or future intellectual property rights owned by third parties. Our employees may infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate the intellectual property of their former employers. Many of our employees were previously employed at our competitors or potential competitors. Some of these employees executed proprietary rights, non-disclosure and non-competition agreements in connection with such previous employment. Although we try to ensure that our employees do not use the proprietary information, know-how or trade secrets of others in their work for us, we may be subject to claims that we or these employees have used or disclosed such information of any such employee’s former employer. Time-consuming and expensive litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. In addition, we are subject to additional risks as a result of our recent acquisitions and any future acquisitions we may complete. The developers of the technology that we have acquired or may acquire may not have appropriately created, obtained, protected, maintained or enforced intellectual property rights in such technology. Indemnification and other rights under acquisition documents may be limited in term and scope and may therefore provide little or no protection from these risks.

If we fail in prosecuting or defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel or sustain damages. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, and if such defenses, counterclaims, or countersuits are successful, we could lose valuable intellectual property rights. Such intellectual property rights could be awarded to a third party. Regardless, policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and we may not detect all such use. Even if we successfully prosecute or defend against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs, damage to our brand and reputation and distraction of management and key personnel. This type of litigation or proceeding could substantially increase our operating losses and reduce our resources available for development activities. We may not have sufficient financial or other resources to adequately conduct such litigation or proceedings. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than we can because of their substantially greater financial resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of intellectual property-related litigation or proceedings could adversely affect our ability to compete in the marketplace.

In addition, we may be unsuccessful in executing intellectual property assignment agreements with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops intellectual property that we regard as our own. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing, or the assignment agreements may be breached, and we may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims that they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what we regard as our intellectual property. Such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

If we are sued for alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violations of the intellectual property rights of others, our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Our success largely depends on our ability to use and develop our technology, tools, code, methodologies and services without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of third parties, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. However, we may not be aware that our products or services are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating third-party intellectual property rights. Third parties may claim that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating, or have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, their intellectual property rights and we may be subject to litigation involving claims of

infringement, misappropriation or other violation of intellectual property rights of third parties. As competition in our market grows, the possibility of infringement, misappropriation and other intellectual property claims against us increases. Parties making infringement claims may be able to obtain an injunction to prevent us from delivering our services or using technology involving the allegedly infringing intellectual property. Even if we were to prevail in such a dispute, intellectual property litigation can be expensive and time-consuming and could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business. A successful infringement claim against us, whether with or without merit, could, among others things, require us to pay substantial damages (including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed third-party intellectual property), develop substitute non-infringing technology, or rebrand our name or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on favorable or commercially reasonable terms, if at all, and could require us to cease making, licensing or using products that may have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated a third party’s intellectual property rights. Protracted litigation could also result in existing or potential clients deferring or limiting their purchase or use of our services until resolution of such litigation, or could require us to indemnify our clients against infringement claims in certain instances. In addition, during the course of litigation there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, which could, among other things, distract our management and employees from our business. Additionally, if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Any intellectual property claim or litigation, whether we ultimately win or lose, could cause us to incur significant expenses, damage our reputation and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, we typically indemnify clients who purchase our services and solutions against potential infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights, which subjects us to the risk of indemnification claims. Some of our customer agreements provide for uncapped liability and some indemnity provisions survive termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. These claims may require us to initiate or defend protracted and costly litigation on behalf of our clients, regardless of the merits of these claims, and are often not subject to liability limits or exclusion of consequential, indirect or punitive damages. If any of these claims succeed, we may be forced to pay damages on behalf of our clients, redesign or cease offering our allegedly infringing services or solutions, or obtain licenses for the intellectual property such services or solutions allegedly infringe. Large indemnity payments could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If we cannot obtain all necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms, our clients may stop using our services or solutions.

We use third-party software, hardware and software-as-a-service, or SaaS, technologies from third parties that may be difficult to replace or that may cause errors or defects in, or failures of, the services or solutions we provide.

We rely on software, hardware and both hosted and cloud-based SaaS applications from various third parties to deliver our services and solutions. If any of these software, hardware or SaaS applications become unavailable due to extended outages, interruptions, system failures, cybersecurity attacks, software or hardware errors, financial insolvency or natural disasters or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, we could experience delays in the provisioning of our services until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available from a third party, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could increase our expenses or otherwise harm our business. In addition, any errors or defects in or failures of this third-party software, hardware or SaaS applications could result in errors or defects in or failures of our services and solutions, which could harm our business, be costly to correct, and subject us to breach of contract claims with our clients. Many of these providers attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, defects or failures, and if enforceable, we may have additional liability to our clients or third-party providers that could harm our reputation and increase our operating costs.

In the future we may identify additional third-party intellectual property we may need to license in order to engage in our business, including to develop or commercialize new products or services. However, such licenses may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. The licensing or acquisition of third-party intellectual property rights is a competitive area, and other companies may pursue strategies to license or acquire third-party intellectual property rights that we may consider attractive or necessary. Other companies may have a competitive advantage over us due to their size, capital resources and greater development or commercialization capabilities. In addition, companies that perceive us to be a competitor may be unwilling to assign or license rights to us on reasonable pricing terms or at all. If we are unable to enter into the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, it could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Government intervention in the Mexican economy could adversely affect the economy and our results of operations or financial condition.

The ability of companies to efficiently conduct their business activities is subject to changes in government policy or shifts in political attitudes within Mexico that are beyond our control. Government policy may change to discourage foreign investment, nationalization of industries may occur or other government limitations, restrictions or requirements not currently foreseen may be implemented. During recent years, the Mexican government has frequently intervened in the Mexican economy, including through discretionary interventions on government spending.

For example, in January 2019, Mexico’s president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, officially suspended the construction of the partly-built $13.0 billion dollar Mexico City International Airport. This decision impacted not only the directly involved construction and development companies, advisors and contractors, but also investors and debtholders who had financially supported the project.

Interventions by the Mexican government, such as that relating to the new Mexico City International Airport, can have an adverse impact on the level of foreign investment in Mexico, the access of companies with significant Mexican operations to the international capital markets and Mexico’s commercial and diplomatic relations with other countries and, consequently, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

A significant number of individuals in our workforce in Mexico are employed by third-party service providers. If our third-party service providers fail to comply with applicable Mexican law, or if we are unable to comply with recent changes to Mexican law requiring reclassification of these individuals as our employees, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We historically have generally utilized specialized third-party consulting services to support specific developments within the delivery of our specialized solutions to customers. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 36% of the 1,650 personnel in our Mexican workforce were individuals hired by third-party service providers. Although our service providers are legally and contractually required to comply with applicable labor, tax and social security laws, it is a challenge to monitor our service providers’ compliance with such laws given the significant number of individuals employed by our service providers and the administrative complexities involved. Such laws are complex and subject to interpretation, which may vary from time to time, and it is also possible that a governmental authority could ultimately determine that we are subject to liability imposed under former and/or applicable Mexican law and regulations regarding our past and current commercial relationship with third-party consultants if such relationships are found to be non-compliant, and/or to the extent such third-party consultants do not absorb any liabilities imposed for such non-compliance, and our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. We also cannot provide any assurance that the service providers’ employees will not initiate legal actions against us seeking indemnification from us as the ultimate beneficiary of their services.

In April 2021, the Mexican government passed a new law that will require us to integrate our third-party service structure into our own workforce. The new law allows tax deductions from third-party service expenses only if they meet certain requirements, which are still to be fully defined. We are in the process of converting our third-party consultants to employee status and evaluating the expected impact of the new law on our operating results and client relationships. We currently expect an increase in payroll costs of approximately $3.4 million per year from conversion of our third-party consultants to employee status, but cannot assure you that our compliance efforts with respect to the new law or the new law’s interpretation and application by governmental authorities will not result in additional costs or liabilities to us or other adverse impacts on our operating performance or will not make it more difficult for us to establish, maintain and grow client relationships. We also cannot assure you that the Mexican government will not pursue further regulatory changes that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, we cannot assure the Mexican government will not pursue further labor related laws that can result in further significantly material impact to us, nor that it could not apply retroactive reviews and assess the structure we have used in the past.

The Mexican government may order salary increases to be paid to employees in the private sector, which could increase our operating costs and adversely affect our results of operations.

In the past, the Mexican government has passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to increase wages and provide specified benefits to employees, and may do so again in the future. Mexican employers, both in the public and private sectors, have experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee benefits. The Mexican government, as a result, increased the minimum salary by 16% in January 2019.

If future salary increases in the Mexican peso exceed the pace of the devaluation of the Mexican peso, such salary increases could have a material adverse effect on our expenses and business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Corruption in Mexico could have an adverse effect on our business and operations.

Corruption could result in our competitors having an unfair advantage over us in securing business. In addition, false accusations of corruption or other alleged wrongdoing by us or our officers or directors may be spread by newspapers, competitors or others to gain a competitive advantage over us or for other reasons. Mexican press reports have also alleged selective investigations and prosecutions by the government to further its interests. In the event we become the target of corruption allegations, we may need to cease or alter certain activities or embark on expensive litigation to protect our business and employees, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Doing business with government clients could negatively impact our reputation, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

While our current contracts with governmental entities, including the Mexican federal government and related entities, does not constitute a substantial portion of our revenue, nor do we expect it to constitute a substantial portion of our revenue in the future, there are risks associated with doing business with government clients. Agreements with governmental entities may be subject to periodic funding approval. Funding reductions or delays could adversely impact public sector demand for our products and services. Also, some agreements may contain provisions allowing the client to terminate without cause and providing for higher liability limits for certain losses. In addition, government contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations by government agencies. If the government discovers improper or illegal activities or contractual non-compliance (including improper billing), we may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government, which could negatively impact our reputation, which in turn could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If relations between the United States and foreign governments deteriorate, it could cause our business or potential target businesses or their goods and services to become less attractive, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

The relationship between the United States and foreign governments, including Mexico, could be subject to sudden fluctuation and periodic tension. For instance, the United States may announce its intention to impose quotas on certain imports. Such import quotas may adversely affect political relations between the two countries and result in retaliatory countermeasures by the foreign government in industries that may affect our ultimate target business. The Biden administration in the United States has recently proposed far-ranging federal tax legislation in the United States that could impact business like ours with substantial presences in Mexico that provide extensive services in the United States .Changes in political conditions in foreign countries and changes in the state of U.S. relations with such countries are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our operations or cause our business or potential target businesses or their goods and services to become less attractive. Because we are not limited to any specific industry, there is no basis for you to evaluate the possible extent of any impact on our ultimate operations if relations are strained between the United States and a foreign country in which we acquire a target business or move our principal manufacturing or service operations.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely affected if general economic conditions in Latin America and the United States or the global economy worsen.

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from clients located in Latin America and the United States. The IT services industry is particularly sensitive to the economic environment, and tends to decline during general economic downturns. If the United States or Latin American economies weaken or slow, pricing for our services may be depressed and our clients may reduce or postpone their technology spending significantly, which may, in turn, lower the demand for our services, negatively affect our revenue and profitability and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our business is dependent to a certain extent upon the economic conditions prevalent in the United States and Latin American countries in which we operate. Latin American countries have historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth, as well as recession, periods of high inflation and economic instability. As a consequence of adverse economic conditions in global markets and diminishing commodity prices, the economic growth rates of the economies of many Latin American countries have slowed and some have entered mild recessions. Adverse economic conditions in any of these countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. To the extent that the prospect of national debt defaults in Latin America and other adverse economic conditions continue or worsen, they would likely have a negative effect on our business. If we are unable to successfully anticipate changing economic and political conditions affecting the markets in which we operate, we may be unable to effectively plan for or respond to those changes, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and increased inflation could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We have offices located in Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina and the United States. As a result of the international scope of our operations, fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly between the Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect us. The value of our common stock may be affected by the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our revenues and assets may be denominated. For example, a depreciation of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar will temporarily impact our operations in the following ways: (i) the operations in the United States that have a nearshore cost component will benefit at the gross margin level from a lower U.S. dollar denominated cost until the point where salary inflation in Mexico offsets that benefit; and (ii) on the Mexico operations side, a depreciation of the Mexican peso will result in an overall reduction of the value of our business in Mexico when translated to U.S. dollars for consolidation purposes, as the same number of Mexican pesos will now represent fewer U.S. dollars. While our current exposure is relatively balanced at the operating profit (loss) level — meaning the benefit on the U.S. operations from a Mexican peso depreciation on operating profit (loss) would largely offset the impact of our operating income (loss) of a reduction in the value of our business in Mexico, this may change in the future as our nearshore operations grow. If our operations in the United States and Mexico grow at different rates, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Mexican peso and U.S. dollar could have negative impacts on our financial condition and results of operations and could materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The banking and financial systems in less developed markets where we hold funds remain less developed than those in some more developed markets, and a banking crisis could place liquidity constraints on our business and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We have cash in banks in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Costa Rica, where the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability, banking and other financial systems generally do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets, and bank deposits made by corporate entities are not insured. A banking crisis, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of banks through which we receive or with which we hold funds, particularly in Mexico and Brazil, may result in the loss of our deposits or adversely affect our ability to complete banking transactions in that region, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our international operations involve risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect our results of operations and require increased time and attention from our management.

Managing a business, operations, personnel or assets in another country is challenging and costly. As of March 31, 2021, we had 2,323 employees and contractors, approximately 83% of whom work in nearshore offices in Mexico and other Latin American countries. We have operations in a number of countries, including Mexico and the United States, and we serve clients primarily in the United States and Latin America. As a result, we are subject to risks inherently associated with international operations. Our global operations expose us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal, tax and regulatory requirements, and violations or unfavorable interpretation by the respective authorities of these regulations could harm our business. Risks associated with international operations include difficulties in enforcing contractual rights, potential difficulties in collecting accounts receivable, the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, repatriation of earnings or capital and the risk of asset seizures by foreign governments. In addition, we may face competition in other countries from companies that may have more experience with operations in such countries or with international operations. Such companies may have long-standing or well-established relationships with desired clients, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage. We may also face difficulties integrating new facilities in different countries into our existing operations, as well as integrating employees that we hire in different countries into our existing corporate culture. Our international expansion plans may be unsuccessful and we may not be able to compete effectively in other countries. Even with a seasoned and experienced management team, the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, personnel and assets can be significant (and much higher than in a purely domestic business) and may negatively impact our financial and operational performance. These factors could impede the success of our international expansion plans and limit our ability to compete effectively in other countries.

From time to time, some of our employees and contractors spend significant amounts of time at our clients’ facilities, often located outside our employees’ and contractors’ countries of residence, which exposes us to certain risks.

Some of our projects require a portion of the work to be undertaken at our clients’ facilities, which are often located outside our employees’ and contractors’ countries of residence. The ability of our employees and contractors to work in such locations may depend on different countries’ regulations relating to international travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may eliminate or severely curtail our employees’ and contractors’ ability to work on-site at clients’ facilities, as well as our employees’ and contractors’ ability to obtain the required visas and work permits, which process can be lengthy and difficult. Immigration laws are subject to legislative changes, as well as to variations in standards of application and enforcement due to political forces and economic conditions. In addition, we may become subject to taxation in jurisdictions where we would not otherwise be so subject as a result of the time that our employees spend in any such jurisdiction in any given year. While we seek to monitor the number of days that our employees spend in each country or state to avoid subjecting ourselves to any such taxation, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts.

We also incur risks relating to our employees and contractors working at our clients’ facilities, including: claims of misconduct, negligence or intentional malfeasance on the part of our employees. Some or all of these claims may lead to litigation and these matters may cause us to incur negative publicity with respect to these alleged problems. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these lawsuits or any other proceeding, and our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us.

If we are faced with immigration or work permit restrictions in any country where we currently have personnel onsite at a client location or would like to expand our delivery footprint, then our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

The success of our business is dependent on our ability to attract and retain talented and experienced professionals and be able to mobilize them to meet our clients’ needs. Immigration laws in the countries we operate in are subject to legislative changes, as well as to variations in the standards of application and enforcement due to political forces and economic conditions. A few countries have introduced new provisions and standards in immigration law which can impact our ability to provide services in those countries due to restrictive policies and additional costs involved. Our and our contractors’ future inability to obtain or renew sufficient work permits and/or visas due to the impact of these regulations, including any changes to immigration, work permit and visa regulations in jurisdictions such as the United States, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. It is difficult to predict the political and economic events that could affect immigration laws, or the restrictive impact they could have on obtaining or renewing work visas for our employees or contractors.

Latin American governments have exercised and continue to exercise significant influence over the economies of the countries where we operate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Historically, governments in Latin America have frequently intervened in the economies of their respective countries and have occasionally made significant changes in policy and regulations. Governmental actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and tariffs. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by:

•        changes in government policies or regulations, including such factors as exchange rates and exchange control policies;

•        inflation rates and measures taken by the governments of these countries to control or otherwise address inflation;

•        interest rates;

•        tariff and inflation control policies;

•        price control policies;

•        liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;

•        electricity rationing;

•        tax policies, royalty and tax increases and retroactive tax claims; and

•        other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting the countries where we operate.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by the various conflicting legal and regulatory requirements imposed on us by the countries where we operate.

Since we maintain operations and provide services to clients throughout the world, we are subject to numerous, and sometimes conflicting, legal requirements on matters as diverse as import/export controls, content requirements, trade restrictions, tariffs, taxation, sanctions, government affairs, anti-bribery, whistle blowing, internal and disclosure control obligations, data protection and privacy and labor relations. Our failure to comply with these regulations in the conduct of our business could result in fines, penalties, criminal sanctions against us or our officers, disgorgement of profits, prohibitions on doing business, unfavorable publicity, adverse impact on our reputation and allegations by our clients that we have not performed our contractual obligations. Due to the varying degree of development of the legal systems of the countries in which we operate, local laws might be insufficient to defend us and preserve our rights.

We are also subject to risks relating to compliance with a variety of national and local laws including multiple tax regimes, labor laws, employee health safety and wages and benefits laws. Many of our employees and consultants, including members of our senior management team, perform services for us in multiple jurisdictions, making us subject to multiple, and sometimes conflicting labor law regimes. We may, from time to time, be subject to litigation or administrative actions resulting from claims against us by current or former employees or contractors individually or as part of class actions, including claims of wrongful terminations, discrimination, misclassification, improper income tax or other withholding or other violations of labor law or related tax laws or other alleged conduct. We may also, from time to time, be subject to litigation resulting from claims against us by third parties, including claims of breach of non-compete and confidentiality provisions of our employees’ former employment agreements with such third parties. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Foreign, national and local governments may also adopt new laws, regulations or requirements, or make changes to existing laws or regulations, that could impact the demand for, or value of, our services. If we are unable to adapt the solutions we deliver to our clients to changing legal and regulatory standards or other requirements in a timely manner, or if our solutions fail to allow our clients to comply with applicable laws and regulations, our clients may lose confidence in our services and could switch to services offered by our competitors, or threaten or bring legal actions against us, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Many commercial laws and regulations in Latin America are relatively new and have been subject to limited interpretation. As a result, their application can be unpredictable. Government authorities have a high degree of discretion in certain countries in which we have operations and at times have exercised their discretion in ways that may be perceived as selective or arbitrary, and sometimes in a manner that is seen as being influenced by political or commercial considerations. These governments also have the power, in certain circumstances, to interfere with the performance of, nullify or terminate contracts. Selective or arbitrary actions against others have included withdrawal of licenses, sudden and unexpected tax audits, criminal prosecutions and civil actions. Federal and local government entities have also used common defects in documentation as pretexts for court claims against others and other demands to invalidate and/or to void transactions, possibly for political purposes. In this environment, our competitors could receive preferential treatment from the government, potentially giving them a competitive advantage. Selective or arbitrary government action could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Changes and uncertainties in the tax system in the countries in which we have operations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We conduct business globally and file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions. Our consolidated effective income tax rate could be materially adversely affected by several factors, including: changing tax laws, regulations and treaties, or the interpretation thereof (including based on advice from our tax advisers); tax policy initiatives and reforms under consideration (such as those related to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s, Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project and other initiatives); the practices of tax authorities in jurisdictions in which we operate; the resolution of issues arising from tax audits or examinations and any related interest or penalties; and our income before taxes being lower than anticipated in countries with lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries with higher statutory tax rates. Such changes may include the taxation of operating income, investment income, dividends received or, in the specific context of withholding tax, dividends paid, and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

In particular, there have been significant changes to the taxation systems in Latin American countries in recent years as the authorities have gradually replaced or introduced new legislation regulating the application of major taxes such as corporate income tax, value-added tax, corporate property tax, personal income taxes and payroll taxes.

In December 2017, legislation was enacted in the United States that significantly revised the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This legislation, among other things, contained significant changes to corporate taxation, including reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income (except for certain small businesses), limitation of the deduction for net operating losses, or NOLs, to 80% of current year taxable income and elimination of NOL carrybacks (in each case applicable to NOLs arising after 2017), one-time taxation of offshore earnings at reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated, elimination of U.S. tax on foreign earnings (subject to certain important exceptions), immediate deductions for certain new investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits. Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of this tax reform is uncertain, and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent states will conform to the 2017 federal legislation. The Biden administration in the United States has recently proposed additional and far-ranging federal tax legislation in the United States.

We are unable to predict what tax reforms may be proposed or enacted in the future or what effect such changes could have on our business, but such changes, to the extent they are brought into tax legislation, regulations, policies or practices in jurisdictions in which we operate, could increase the estimated tax liability that we have expensed to date and paid or accrued on our balance sheets, and otherwise affect our financial position, future results of operations, cash flows in a particular period and overall or effective tax rates in the future in countries where we have operations, reduce post-tax returns to our stockholders and increase the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance, which may adversely affect our business and prospects.

Tax authorities may examine or audit our tax returns, disagree with our positions and conclusions regarding certain tax positions, or may apply existing rules in an unforeseen manner, resulting in unanticipated costs, taxes or non-realization of expected benefits.

We are subject to the continuous examination of our tax returns by the United States Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities around the world. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provisions for taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For example, as a result of examinations by applicable tax authorities, we may be subject to an indirect tax liability relating to our previous acquisition of 4th Source and may have a contingent sales tax obligation in Tennessee which in aggregate total approximately $700,000 and each of which, if applicable, we anticipate paying in 2021.

In addition, U.S. state and local and foreign jurisdictions have differing rules and regulations governing sales, use, value added and other taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. Further, these jurisdictions’ rules regarding tax nexus are complex and vary significantly. As a result, we could face the possibility of audits that could result in tax assessments, including associated interest and penalties. A successful assertion that we should be collecting additional sales, use, value added or other taxes in those jurisdictions where we have not historically done so could result in substantial tax liabilities and related penalties for past transactions, discourage customers from using our services or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For example, Mexican authorities recently issued assessments against us for $1.5 million in additional value added taxes and penalties that we are in the process of reviewing and may challenge, and regularly assess our returns for possible additional value added or other tax liability.

A tax authority may also disagree with tax positions that we have taken, which could result in increased tax liabilities. For example, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the Mexican taxing authorities or another tax authority could challenge our allocation of income by tax jurisdiction and the amounts paid between our affiliated companies pursuant to our intercompany arrangements and transfer pricing policies, including methodologies for valuing developed technology and amounts paid with respect to our intellectual property development. Similarly, a tax authority could assert that we are subject to tax in a jurisdiction where we believe we have not established a taxable connection, often referred to as a “permanent establishment” under international tax treaties, and such an assertion, if successful, could increase our expected tax liability in one or more jurisdictions. Due to uncertainty in the application and interpretation of applicable tax laws in various jurisdictions, we may be exposed to sales and use, value added or other transaction tax liability, including with respect to transactions of the businesses we have acquired.

Tax authorities may take the position that material income tax liabilities, interest and penalties are payable by us, where there has been a technical violation of contradictory laws and regulations that are relatively new and have not been subject to extensive review or interpretation, in which case we expect that we might contest such assessment. High-profile companies can be particularly vulnerable to aggressive application of unclear requirements. Many companies must negotiate their tax bills with tax inspectors who may demand higher taxes than applicable law appears to provide. Contesting such an assessment may be lengthy and costly and if we were unsuccessful in disputing the assessment, the implications could increase our anticipated effective tax rate, where applicable. These uncertainties with respect to the application of tax laws, as well as the outcomes of tax examinations and audits and related tax assessments and liabilities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Emerging markets are subject to greater risks than more developed markets, and financial turmoil in any emerging market could disrupt our business.

Latin American countries are generally considered to be emerging markets, which are subject to rapid change and greater legal, economic and political risks than more established markets. Financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could dampen foreign investment in Latin America and adversely affect the economy of the region. Political instability could result in a worsening overall economic situation, including capital flight and slowdown of investment and business activity. Current and future changes in governments of the countries in which we have or develop operations, as well as major policy shifts or lack of consensus between various branches of the government and powerful economic groups, could lead to political instability and disrupt or reverse political, economic and regulatory reforms, which could adversely affect our business and operations in those countries. In addition, political and economic relations between certain of the countries in which we operate are complex, and recent conflicts have arisen between certain of their governments. Political, ethnic,

religious, historical and other differences have, on occasion, given rise to tensions and, in certain cases, military conflicts among Latin American countries which can halt normal economic activity and disrupt the economies of neighboring regions. The emergence of new or escalated tensions in Latin American countries could further exacerbate tensions between such countries and the United States and the European Union, which may have a negative effect on their economy, our ability to develop or maintain our operations in those countries and our ability to attract and retain employees, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, banking and other financial systems in certain countries in which we have operations are less developed and regulated than in some more developed markets, and legislation relating to banks and bank accounts is subject to varying interpretations and inconsistent application. Banks in these regions often do not meet the banking standards of more developed markets, and the transparency of the banking sector lags behind international standards. Furthermore, in certain countries in which we operate, bank deposits made by corporate entities generally either are not insured or are insured only to specified limits. As a result, the banking sector remains subject to periodic instability. A banking crisis, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of banks through which we receive or with which we hold funds may result in the loss of our deposits or adversely affect our ability to complete banking transactions in certain countries in which we have operations, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Wage inflation and other compensation expense for our IT professionals could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Wage costs for IT professionals in Latin American countries are lower than comparable wage costs in more developed countries. However, wage costs in the IT services industry in these countries may increase at a faster rate than in the past and wage inflation for the IT industry may be higher than overall wage inflation within these countries. We may need to increase the levels of compensation for our personnel more rapidly than in the past to remain competitive, and we may not be able to pass on these increased costs to our clients. Unless we are able to continue to increase the efficiency and productivity of our personnel as well as the prices we can charge for our services, wage inflation may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as export control laws, import and customs laws, trade and economic sanctions laws and other laws governing our operations.

Our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. §201, the U.S. Travel Act, the Ley General de Responsabilidades Administrativas in Mexico and other anti-corruption laws that apply in countries where we do business. The FCPA and these other laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from authorizing, promising, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper or prohibited payments, or anything else of value, to government officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations, such as Mexico and Brazil. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

We are also subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including regulations administered by the governments of the United States and Mexico, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions and embargoes on certain countries and persons, anti-money laundering laws, import and customs requirements and currency exchange regulations, collectively referred to as the Trade Control laws. We may not be completely effective in ensuring our compliance with all such applicable laws, which could result in our being subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and legal expenses. Likewise, any investigation of any potential violations of such laws by the United States, Mexico, or other authorities could also have an adverse impact on our reputation, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Because many of our agreements may be governed by laws of jurisdictions other than the United States, we may not be able to enforce our rights within such jurisdictions or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.

Many of our agreements are governed by laws of jurisdictions other than the United States, such as agreements governed under Mexican law. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing laws and contracts in such jurisdictions may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United States. The judiciaries in Mexico, Brazil and other Latin American countries are relatively inexperienced in enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. As a result, the inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our current or future agreements could result in a significant loss of business and business opportunities and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fire, power outages, floods and other catastrophic events, and to interruption by human-made problems such as terrorism.

A significant natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, or a significant power outage could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For instance, we have key facilities in Mexico City, which has been the site of numerous earthquakes. In the event we are hindered by any of the events discussed above, our ability to provide our services to clients could be delayed.

In addition, our facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, intentional bad acts, pandemics, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events. The occurrence of a natural disaster, power failure or an act of terrorism, vandalism or other misconduct could result in lengthy interruptions in provision of our services and failure to comply with our obligations to our clients. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could damage our systems and hardware or could cause them to fail completely, and our insurance may not cover such events or may be insufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to the future growth of our business, that may result from interruptions in the provision of our services to clients as a result of system failures.

All of the aforementioned risks may be exacerbated if any of our various disaster recovery plans, which we maintain in select jurisdictions, prove to be inadequate. To the extent that any of the above results in delayed or reduced sales or increase our cost of sales, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to LIVK and the Business Combination

For purposes of this subsection only, “we,” “us” or “our” refer to LIVK pre-domestication and to New AT after the consummation of the domestication, unless the context otherwise requires.

Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.

On April 12, 2021, the SEC issued a statement (the “Statement”) discussing the accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). In light of the Statement and guidance in ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”, our management evaluated the terms of the warrant agreement entered into in connection with our initial public offering and concluded that the warrants include provisions that, based on the Statement, preclude the warrants from being classified as components of equity. As a result, we have classified the warrants as liabilities. Under this accounting treatment, we are required to measure the fair value of the warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in the fair value from the prior period in our operating results for the current period. As a result of the recurring fair value measurement, our financial statements and results of operations may fluctuate quarterly based on factors which are outside our control. We expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses due to the quarterly fair valuation of our warrants and that such gains or losses could be material.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, our management and our audit committee concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2020. See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such process, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Following the issuance of the SEC Statement, our management and our audit committee concluded that it was appropriate to restate our previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period ended December 31, 2020. See “— Our warrants are accounted for as liabilities and the changes in value of our warrants could have a material effect on our financial results.” As part of such restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of such material weakness, the restatement described above, the change in accounting for the warrants, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date hereof, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute arising due to restatement or material weakness of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition or our ability to complete a business combination.

Future resales of Class A common stock after the consummation of the business combination may cause the market price of our securities to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Pursuant to the sponsor IPO letter agreement, after the consummation of the business combination and subject to certain exceptions, the sponsor will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring any of its shares of Class A common stock until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the business combination or (B) subsequent to the business combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the business combination or (y) the date following the completion of the business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A common stock for cash, securities or other property. Pursuant to the voting and support agreements, after the consummation of the business combination and subject to certain exceptions, certain AT equity holders will be contractually restricted from selling or transferring any of their respective shares of common stock until 180 days after completion of the business combination. Permitted transferees of our sponsor will be subject to the same obligations.

However, following the expiration of the applicable lockups described in the preceding paragraph, the sponsor and the restricted AT equity holders will not be restricted from selling shares of our Class A common stock held by them, other than by applicable securities laws. The restricted AT equity holders include Nexxus and Credit Suisse, each of which will hold large amounts of Class A common shares of New AT following the business combination and which may sell those shares, when allowed to do so under applicable securities laws, in block trades or other large dispositions, the timing for which may be influenced for each of Nexxus and Credit Suisse by considerations particular to its specific fund, for example end of fund life considerations. Additionally, the subscription investors and LIV Fund IV with respect to its shares held as a pre-merger AT equity holder will not be restricted from selling any of their shares of our Class A common stock following the closing of the business combination, other than by applicable securities laws. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A common stock.

The shares held by our sponsor and the restricted AT equity holders may be sold after the expiration of the applicable lock-up period under registration statements filed pursuant to the amended and restated registration rights agreement. As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in our share price or the market price of our Class A common stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

After completion of the business combination, the AT equity holders, the subscription investors and our sponsor will own a significant portion of the outstanding voting shares of New AT, and representatives of our sponsor and two of AT’s largest stockholders will occupy a total of five of the twelve seats on New AT’s board of directors.

Upon completion of the business combination and the related transactions (based on the assumptions as described in the last paragraph of the section entitled “Certain Defined Terms”), the AT equity holders, including LIV Fund IV with respect to its shares held as a pre-merger AT equity holder, will own approximately 74.2% of New AT’s Class A common stock, the subscription investors will own approximately 5.3% of New AT’s Class A common stock, our sponsor and its affiliates (excluding LIV Fund IV solely with respect to its shares held as a pre-merger AT equity holder) and its and their respective permitted transferees will own approximately 4.1% of New AT’s Class A common stock and the holders of representative shares and their permitted transferees would own approximately 0.1% of New AT’s Class A common stock. In addition, upon completion of the business combination, the New AT board of directors will have one representative from our sponsor, and two from each of Nexxus and Credit Suisse, each of which will hold large amounts of Class A common stock of New AT following the business combination, for a total of five directors out of a total of 12 directors. As long as the AT equity holders (including Nexxus and Credit Suisse), the subscription investors, LIV Fund IV and our sponsor own or control a significant percentage of outstanding voting power, they will have the ability to strongly influence all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and the size of our board of directors, any amendment of our organizational documents, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. In addition, as long as our sponsor, Nexxus and Credit Suisse retain five of the 12 seats on New AT board of directors, they will have the ability to strongly influence all corporate action requiring approval of the New AT board of directors, including calling special meetings of stockholders, any amendment of our organizational documents, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including financing transactions and a sale of substantially all of our assets

The interests of the AT equity holders, including Nexxus and Credit Suisse, the subscription investors, LIV Fund IV and our sponsor and affiliates and their respective permitted transferees may not align with the interests of our other stockholders. Certain of the AT equity holders, including Nexxus and Credit Suisse, the subscription investors, LIV Fund IV and our sponsor are in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. Certain of the AT equity holders, including Nexxus and Credit Suisse, the subscription investors, LIV Fund IV and our sponsor may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

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 we have conducted due diligence on AT, we cannot assure you that this diligence revealed all material issues that may be present in AT’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of our and AT’s control will not later arise. As a result, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and may not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about New AT following the completion of the business combination or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

We and AT will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the business combination is pending.

Uncertainty about the effect of the business combination on employees and third parties may have an adverse effect on us and AT. These uncertainties may impair AT’s ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with AT to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change existing business relationships. If employees depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the business combination or third parties defer entering into contracts with AT or making other decisions or seek to change their existing business relationships with AT, our or AT’s business could be harmed.

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

Our operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of individuals and, in particular, our executive officers and directors. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our officers and directors, at least until we have completed the business combination.

Our ability to successfully effect the business combination and successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of AT. The loss of such key personnel and our inability to hire and retain replacements could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New AT following the business combination.

Our ability to successfully effect the business combination and successfully operate the business is dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel, including AT senior management. Although we contemplate that the majority of AT senior management team will remain associated with the combined company following the business combination, it is possible that additional members of the AT management team will depart. The loss of such key personnel and our inability to hire and retain replacements could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New AT following the business combination.

Certain of our existing shareholders have agreed to vote in favor of the business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.

Certain of our existing shareholders, including our sponsor and our directors and officers, have agreed to vote the founder shares, as well as any public shares purchased during or after the IPO, in favor of a business combination. At the time of the general meeting, we expect that our sponsor and its affiliates and its and their respective permitted transferees and our directors and officers will collectively own approximately 19.9% of our outstanding ordinary shares. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received than would be the case if such persons agreed to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public shareholders.

Neither the board of directors of LIVK nor any committee thereof obtained a third party financial opinion in determining whether or not to pursue the business combination.

Neither the board of directors of LIVK nor any committee thereof obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that LIVK is paying for AT is fair to LIVK from a financial point of view. Neither the board of directors of LIVK nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in connection with the business combination. In analyzing the business combination, the board of directors of LIVK and management conducted due diligence on AT and researched the industry in which AT operates. The board of directors of LIVK reviewed, among other things, financial due diligence materials prepared by professional advisors, including tax due diligence reports, financial and market data information on selected comparable companies, the implied purchase price multiple of AT and the financial terms set forth in the merger agreement, and concluded that the business combination was in the best interest of its shareholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the board of directors and management of LIVK in valuing AT, and the board of directors and management of LIVK may not have properly valued such businesses. The lack of a third party valuation may also lead an increased number of shareholders to vote against the business combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the business combination.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Following the business combination, we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of our business and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

Because LIVK is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the business combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

Because LIVK is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited prior to the domestication. LIVK is currently an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon LIVK’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against LIVK’s directors or officers.

Until the domestication is effected, LIVK’s corporate affairs are governed by the existing organizational documents, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to LIVK under the laws of the Cayman Islands are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of LIVK’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fulsome and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

LIVK has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against LIVK judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against LIVK predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal

securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The shareholders of LIVK may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, the members of the board of directors of LIVK or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a United States company.

In evaluating the target business for our business combination, our management has relied on the availability of all of the funds from the sale of the subscription shares to be used for any of a number of uses in connection with the business combination. If the sale of some or all of the subscription shares fails to close, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate the business combination.

In connection with the entry into the merger agreement, we entered into the subscription agreements pursuant to which the subscription investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 2,650,000 shares of Class A common stock of New AT for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or $26,500,000 in the aggregate, in a private placement to close immediately prior to our business combination. The funds from the PIPE subscription financing may be used to repay certain outstanding indebtedness of AT, to fund expenses in connection with the business combination and/or for working capital in AT post-closing. The obligations under the subscription agreements do not depend on whether any public shareholders elect to redeem their shares and provide us with a minimum funding level for the business combination. However, if the sales of the subscription shares do not close for any reason, including by reason of the failure by some or all of the subscription investors, as applicable, to fund the purchase price for their respective subscription shares, for example, we may lack sufficient funds to consummate the business combination. The subscription investors’ obligations to purchase the subscription shares are subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions. The subscription investors’ obligations to purchase subscription shares pursuant to the subscription agreements are subject to termination prior to the closing of the sale of such subscription shares automatically upon termination of the merger agreement. In the event of any such failure to fund by a subscription investor, any obligation is so terminated or any such condition is not satisfied and not waived by such subscription investor, we may not be able to obtain additional funds to account for such shortfall on terms favorable to us or at all. Any such shortfall may result in New AT having more outstanding indebtedness immediately following closing than would otherwise be the case and reduce the amount of funds that we have available for working capital of AT post-business combination.

Our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase public shares or public warrants from public shareholders, which may influence the vote on the business combination and reduce the public “float” of our Class A ordinary shares.

Our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase public shares or public warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our business combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the trust account will be used to purchase shares or public warrants in such transactions.

The purpose of any such purchases of public shares could be to vote such shares in favor of the business combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our business combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Class A ordinary shares or public warrants 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.

If a shareholder fails to comply with the procedures for redeeming its public shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

In order to validly redeem public shares, holders of our public shares will need to comply with the various procedures described in this proxy statement/prospectus. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

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

Our public shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those public shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein and (ii) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete an initial business combination by September 13, 2021, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind in the trust account. Holders of warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the trust account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your public shares or warrants, potentially at a loss.

The business combination and AT becoming a publicly listed company as a result of the merger differs significantly from an underwritten initial public offering.

AT will become a publicly listed company upon the completion of the merger. The business combination and the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus are not an underwritten initial public offering of AT’s securities and differ from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

•        In an underwritten public offering of securities conducted by a licensed broker-dealer, underwriters and/or dealer-managers typically conduct due diligence on the issuer in order to satisfy statutory duties under federal securities laws, the rules of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and the national securities exchange where such securities are listed, as well as to establish a due diligence defense against liability claims under federal securities laws. Additionally, underwriters or dealer-managers conducting underwritten public offerings are subject to liability for any material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement filed in connection with such underwritten public offering. Because the business combination is not an underwritten initial public offering of AT, no underwriter has conducted due diligence in connection with the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Our stockholders must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering. While sponsors, private investors and management in a business combination undertake a certain level of due diligence, it is not necessarily the same level of due diligence undertaken by an underwriter in a public securities offering and, therefore, there could be a heightened risk of an incorrect valuation of AT’s business or material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus.

•        Our sponsor, certain members of our board of directors and our officers, as well as their respective affiliates and permitted transferees, have interests in the business combination that are different from or are in addition to our shareholders and that would not be present in an underwritten public offering of AT’s securities. Such interests may have influenced our board of directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the business combination proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

•        Because there are no underwriters engaged in connection with the business combination, prior to the opening of trading on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately following the closing, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient and sufficient price discovery with respect to the initial post-closing trades on Nasdaq. Therefore, buy and sell orders submitted prior to and at the opening of initial post-closing trading of the Class A common stock on Nasdaq will not have the benefit of being informed by a published price range or a price at which the underwriters initially sold shares to the public, as would be the case in an underwritten initial public offering. There will be no underwriters assuming risk in connection with an initial resale of shares of the Class A common stock or helping to stabilize, maintain or affect the public price of the Class A common stock following the closing. Moreover, we will not engage in, and have not and will not, directly or indirectly, request the financial advisors to engage in, any special selling efforts or stabilization or price support activities in connection with the Class A common stock that will be outstanding immediately following the closing. All of these differences from an underwritten public offering of AT’s securities could result in a more volatile price for the Class A common stock.

•        We will not conduct a traditional “roadshow” with underwriters prior to the opening of initial post-closing trading of the Class A common stock on Nasdaq. There can be no guarantee that any information made available in this proxy statement/prospectus and/or otherwise disclosed or filed with the SEC will have the same impact on investor education as a traditional “roadshow” conducted in connection with an underwritten initial public offering. As a result, there may not be efficient or sufficient price discovery with respect to the Class A common stock or sufficient demand among potential investors immediately after the closing, which could result in a more volatile price for the Class A common stock.

Such differences from an underwritten public offering may present material risks to unaffiliated investors that would not exist if AT became a publicly listed company through an underwritten initial public offering instead of upon completion of the merger.

Our sponsor, certain members of our board of directors and our officers have interests in the business combination that are different from or are in addition to other shareholders in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the business combination and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

When considering our board of directors’ recommendation that our shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the business combination, our shareholders should be aware that our sponsor and certain of our directors and officers have interests in the business combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of other shareholders generally. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the business combination, and in recommending to shareholders that they approve the business combination. Our shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the business combination. These interests include:

•        the fact that certain of our directors and officers are principals of our sponsor;

•        the fact that 2,012,500 founder shares held by our sponsor and its affiliates, for which it paid approximately $25,000, will convert on a one-for-one basis, into 2,012,500 shares of Class A common stock upon the closing, and such shares, if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $          , based on the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq on            , 2021;

•        the fact that our sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if we do not complete a business combination by September 13, 2021;

•        the fact that in connection with the business combination, we entered into the subscription agreements with the subscription investors, which provide for the purchase by the subscription investors of an aggregate of 2,650,000 shares of Class A common stock of New AT for a purchase price of $10.00 per ordinary share, in a private placement, the closing of which will occur immediately prior to the closing;

•        the fact that certain funds affiliated with our sponsor entered into the equity contribution agreement pursuant to which such funds purchased, on March 19, 2021, 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock of AT for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 which was used to partially repay the First Lien Facility, and that, by their terms, will be converted to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis in the business combination.

•        the fact that our sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to its founder shares if LIVK fails to complete an initial business combination, including the business combination, by September 13, 2021;

•        the fact that if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event LIVK is unable to complete an initial business combination by September 13, 2021, our sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to LIVK if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than LIVK’s independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to LIVK, or a prospective target business with which LIVK has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts 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 amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay 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 underwriter of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

•        the fact that one of our directors will be a director of New AT;

•        the continued indemnification of LIVK’s current directors and officers and the continuation of LIVK’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the business combination;

•        the fact that certain of our directors and officers may be eligible to participate in the New AT 2021 Equity Incentive Plan; and

•        the fact that our sponsor, officers, directors and their respective affiliates will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses from any amounts held in the trust account if an initial business combination is not consummated by September 13, 2021.

Our sponsor, officers and directors will not be eligible to be reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses if a business combination is not completed.

At the closing, our sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on LIVK’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on LIVK’s behalf. The personal and financial interests of our sponsor, executive officers and directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business and completing the business combination.

We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the business combination and related transactions.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the business combination and related transactions. All expenses incurred in connection with the business combination and related transactions, including all legal, and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs and paid for at closing with proceeds from the PIPE subscription financing and the trust (including interest and net of redemptions). Such transaction expenses are currently estimated to be approximately $15.8 million, including $2,817,500 in accompanying business combination marketing fees, which are contingent upon the consummation of the closing, subject to certain offsets for fees paid to the placement agents for the PIPE subscription financing.

See the notes in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for New AT giving effect to the business combination in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the business combination been completed on the dates indicated. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.

We may waive one or more of the conditions to the business combination.

Subject to our obligations under the merger agreement, we may agree to waive any of the conditions to our obligations to complete the business combination under the merger agreement. For example, it is a condition to our obligations to close the business combination that AT has performed its covenants in all material respects. However, if our board of directors determines that any such breach is not material to the business of AT, then our board of directors may elect to waive that condition and close the business combination.

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 shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the trust account are reduced below (1) $10.00 per public share or (2) such lesser amount per 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 taxes, and our sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the trust account and to not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by us only if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the trust account or (ii) we consummate a business combination. Our obligation to indemnify our officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy or insolvency court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our board of directors may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy and/or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account to our public shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

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

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of approximately $18,293 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

We have agreed to issue shares of Class A common stock of New AT to the subscription investors to complete the business combination and may issue shares of Class A common stock of New AT, including under the New AT 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the New AT 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, after completion of the business combination. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders and likely present other risks.

Our existing organizational documents authorize the issuance of up to 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 preferred shares, $0.0001 per share. At December 31, 2020, There were 181,088,750 and 17,917,500 authorized but unissued Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, respectively, available for issuance, which amount takes into account shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants, and 1,000,000 authorized but unissued preferred shares available for issuance.

The proposed charter authorizes the issuance of 210 million shares of Class A common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock.

We have agreed to issue Class A common stock of New AT to the subscription investors in order to obtain PIPE subscription financing to complete our business combination. We will also issue Class A common shares to LIV Fund IV at closing in connection with the merger agreement (and the terms of the equity contribution agreement). Prior to the business combination, we may issue additional Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) and preferred shares in order to obtain additional equity financing, and we may issue additional shares of Class A common stock of New AT under the New AT 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and the New AT 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan after completion of our business combination. However, our existing organizational documents provide, among other things, that prior to our initial business combination, we may not issue additional shares that would entitle the holders thereof to (1) receive funds from the trust account or (2) vote as a class with our public shares (a) on any initial business combination or (b) to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (x) extend the time we have to consummate a business combination beyond September 13, 2021 or (y) amend the foregoing provisions. The issuance of additional ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) or preferred shares:

•        may significantly dilute the equity interest of holders of our public shares;

•        may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) if preferred shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication); and

•        may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our units, Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) and/or warrants.

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

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets, after payment of the business combination marketing fee, to be less than $5,000,001 upon completion of our initial business combination (such that we do not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules), or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination even though a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or any of their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all Class A ordinary shares that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the business combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all Class A ordinary shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

The holders of our founder shares control a substantial interest in us and thus may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.

The holders of our founder shares own approximately 19.9% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Accordingly, they may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support. If the holders of our founder shares purchase any additional Class A ordinary shares, this would increase their control. To our knowledge, none of our officers or directors has any current intention to purchase additional securities. Factors that would be considered in making such additional purchases would include consideration of the current trading price of our Class A ordinary shares.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least a majority of then outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

Our warrants were issued in registered form under the warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and LIVK. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement, but requires the approval by the holders of at least a majority of then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the public warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least a majority of then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding 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 reported sales price of our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions, 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 we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. 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. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to: (1) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be

disadvantageous for you to do so; (2) sell your warrants at then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (3) 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 your warrants. None of the private warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our sponsor and its affiliates and its and their respective permitted transferees.

Our warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares and make it more difficult to effectuate an initial business combination.

We issued public warrants to purchase 8,050,000 of our Class A ordinary shares as part of the units sold in the IPO, including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option and, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we issued in the private placement an aggregate of 2,811,250 private warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. Such warrants, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) and reduce the value of the Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication).

Warrants, including warrants held by our shareholders who exercise redemption rights, will become exercisable for our Class A ordinary shares, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our shareholders, including, after the business combination, our non-redeeming shareholders.

We issued public warrants to purchase 8,050,000 Class A ordinary shares as part of our IPO, including the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, and we issued an aggregate of 2,811,250 private warrants to our sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one whole Class A ordinary share (or one whole share of Class A common stock of New AT into which such share will convert in connection with the domestication) at $11.50 per whole share.

In addition, prior to consummating the business combination, nothing prevents us from issuing additional securities in a private placement so long as they do not participate in any manner in the trust account or vote as a class with the ordinary shares on a business combination. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional Class A ordinary shares will be issued, which will result in dilution to then existing holders of our ordinary shares 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 our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication). In addition, such dilution could, among other things, limit the ability of our current shareholders to influence management of AT through the election of directors following the business combination.

Our shareholders who exercise redemption rights with respect to their Class A ordinary shares will retain their public warrants, which will become warrants for Class A common stock of New AT upon completion of the business combination and may be exercised by such redeeming shareholders for shares of Class A common stock. Such exercises of warrants held by redeeming shareholders, as well as exercises of private warrants held by our sponsor and its permitted transferees, will result in dilution to our non-redeeming shareholders.

As of June 23, 2021, the closing trading price of the public warrants was $0.88. As of May 10, 2021, the trading day on which the business combination was announced, the closing trading price of the public warrants was $0.67. Between May 10, 2021 and June 23, 2021, the closing trading price of the public warrants has ranged from $0.67 to $0.92.

The market for our securities may be volatile following the closing.

Following the business combination, the price of our securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the business combination and general market and economic conditions. The price of our securities after the business combination can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication). After the consummation of the business combination (based on the assumptions as described in the last paragraph of the section entitled “Certain Defined Terms”), the AT equity holders, including LIVK Fund IV with respect to its shares held as a pre-merger AT equity holder, will hold approximately 74.2% of our total outstanding shares, the subscription investors will hold approximately 5.3% of our total outstanding shares, our sponsor and its affiliates (excluding LIV Fund IV solely with respect to its shares held as a pre-merger AT equity holder) and its and their respective permitted transferees will hold approximately 4.1% of our total outstanding shares and the holders of representative shares and their permitted transferees would own approximately 0.1% of our total outstanding shares, which does not take into account any warrants that will be outstanding as of the closing and may be exercised thereafter.

If the business combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, shareholders or financial 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 our securities prior to the closing of the business combination may decline. The market values of our securities at the time of the business combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the merger agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, or the date on which our shareholders vote on the business combination.

In addition, following the business combination, fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our 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 our securities following the business combination may include:

•        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

•        changes in the market’s expectations about our operating results;

•        success of competitors;

•        our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

•        changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New AT or the market in general;

•        operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New AT;

•        changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

•        commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New AT;

•        changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

•        the volume of shares available for public sale;

•        major transactions New AT may undertake, such as acquisitions of other companies or all or substantially all of their assets;

•        any major change in our board of directors or management;

•        sales of substantial amounts of securities by our directors, executive officers or significant shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

•        general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism; and

•        other developments affecting the industries in which we currently operate and anticipate operating in.

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 Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New AT could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price for our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

Following the business combination, if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business, or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover New AT change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our Class A common stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover New AT were to cease their coverage or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Activities taken by affiliates of LIVK to purchase, directly or indirectly, public shares will increase the likelihood of approval of the business combination and other proposals and may affect the market price of our securities.

Prior to or in connection with the business combination, our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates may purchase public shares. None of our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates will make any such purchases when such parties are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or if prohibited during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such purchases may be made in privately negotiated transactions. Although none of our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates currently anticipate paying any premium purchase price for such public shares, in the event such parties do, the payment of a premium may not be in the best interest of those shareholders not receiving any such additional consideration. There is no limit on the number of shares that could be acquired by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates, or the price such parties may pay.

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 business combination and other proposals and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. If the market does not view the business combination positively, purchases of public shares may have the effect of counteracting the market’s view, which would otherwise be reflected in a decline in the market price of our securities. In addition, the termination of the support provided by these purchases may materially adversely affect the market price of our securities.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by LIVK or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder.

New AT may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund its operations or growth.

New AT may require additional financing to fund its operations or growth. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of New AT. None of our officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after the business combination.

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

We are subject to laws, regulations and rules enacted by national, regional and local governments and the Nasdaq. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC, Nasdaq and other legal or regulatory requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws, regulations and rules may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws, regulations and rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and rules, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our shareholders will experience immediate dilution, including as a consequence of the issuance of Class A common stock, in connection with the business combination and may experience additional dilution as a result of the exercise of warrants following the business combination.

In connection with the business combination, we will issue 36,712,131 shares of Class A common stock to AT equity holders, including certain funds affiliated with our sponsor, and 2,650,000 shares of Class A common stock to the subscription investors. As a result, following the consummation of the business combination and related transactions, our public shareholders will hold 8,050,000 shares of Class A common stock of New AT, or approximately 16.3% of New AT issued and outstanding common stock (assuming that no holders of public shares elect to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account and we do not otherwise issue any additional shares in connection with the business combination), which does not take into account any warrants that will be outstanding as of the closing and may be exercised thereafter.

We issued public warrants to purchase 8,050,000 Class A ordinary shares as part of our IPO and we issued an aggregate of 2,811,250 private warrants to our sponsor, each of which will be exercisable to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock of New AT following the business combination at $11.50 per whole share. If such warrants are exercised, our shareholders will experience dilution. As a result, if all 8,050,000 public warrants and 2,811,250 private warrants were exercisable and exercised following completion of the business combination and related transactions (assuming that no holders of public shares elect to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account and we do not otherwise issue any additional shares in connection with the business combination), our public shareholders will hold 16,100,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing 26.7% of New AT’s total outstanding shares of common stock.

For additional information, including the anticipated post-business combination ownership of New AT in several different scenarios which illustrate the potential dilution to our shareholders, see the section entitled “Summary of the Proxy Statement / Prospectus — Impact of the Business Combination on LIVK’s Public Float.”

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning 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, 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years from the date of our IPO, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Class A ordinary shares (or shares of Class A common stock of New AT into which such shares will convert in connection with the domestication) held by non-affiliates exceeds $700,000,000 as of any June 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

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

AT’s financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by AT. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, AT’s actual results may be materially different from its forecasted results.

The projected financial information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect numerous estimates and assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to AT’s business, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond AT’s and LIVK’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected. Since the projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. As such, these financial projections constitute forward-looking information and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the various risks and uncertainties set forth in the “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” sections of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The financial projections were prepared solely for internal use and not with a view toward public disclosure, 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. None of AT’s independent registered accounting firm, LIVK’s independent registered accounting firm or any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the financial projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and they assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the financial projections. Furthermore, the financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after the date they were prepared. The inclusion of financial projections in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that LIVK, our board of directors, or their respective affiliates, advisors or other representatives considered, or now considers, such financial 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. The financial forecasts are not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this information statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information. Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond AT’s or LIVK’s control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial results

Our management will be required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy of our financial reports.

As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal control. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, once we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” our auditor will be required to deliver an attestation report on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting. An adverse report may be issued in the event our auditor is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.

When evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective, or if our auditor is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations or be required to restate our financial statements for prior periods.

In addition, our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

If there are material weaknesses or failures in our ability to meet any of the requirements related to the maintenance and reporting of our internal control, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and that could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by the applicable stock exchange, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional management attention and which could adversely affect our business.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives. If we complete the business combination and become a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and the applicable stock exchange. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives and may not effectively or efficiently manage our transition into a public company. Moreover, we expect these rules and regulations to substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits or incur substantially higher costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. We cannot predict or estimate the amount or timing of additional costs we may incur to respond to these requirements. The impact of these requirements could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

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

The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because AT is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of AT as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to us after the business combination. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404, including any additional requirements once we are no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of our common stock. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.

Risks Related to Domestication

Upon consummation of the business combination, the rights of holders of New AT Class A common stock arising under the DGCL as well as the proposed organizational documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of LIVK Class A ordinary shares arising under the Cayman Islands Companies Act as well as our existing organizational documents.

Upon consummation of the business combination, the rights of holders of New AT Class A common stock will arise under the proposed organizational documents as well as the DGCL. Those new organizational documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in our existing organizational documents and the Cayman Islands Companies Act and, therefore, some rights of holders of New AT Class A common stock could differ from the rights that holders of Class A ordinary shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands law, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that New AT becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New AT.

In addition, there are differences between the new organizational documents of New AT and the existing organizational documents of LIVK. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of New AT Class A common stock and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares, please see “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” The proposed charter and the proposed bylaws of New AT are substantially in the forms attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B and Annex C, respectively, and we urge you to read them.

Provisions in our proposed organizational documents effected in connection with our domestication as a Delaware corporation, assuming shareholder approval of the Domestication Proposal, may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Class A common stock and could entrench management.

Our existing organizational documents and our proposed organizational documents in connection with our domestication as a Delaware corporation, assuming shareholder approval of the Domestication Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Organizational Documents Proposals, contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preference shares, which may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities

New AT’s proposed organizational documents will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States as the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between New AT and its stockholders, to the fullest extent permitted by law, which could limit New AT’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New AT or its directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents.

New AT’s proposed organizational documents that will be in effect upon the domestication provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for:

•        any derivative claim or cause of action brought on behalf of New AT;

•        any claim or cause of action for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of New AT to New AT or New AT’s stockholders;

•        any claim or cause of action against New AT or any current or former director, officer or other employee of New AT arising out of or pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the proposed charter or the proposed bylaws of New AT (as each may be amended from time to time);

•        any claim or cause of action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the proposed charter or the proposed bylaws of New AT (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder);

•        any claim or cause of action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or

•        any claim or cause of action asserting a claim against New AT, or any director, officer or other employee of New AT governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

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 New AT or any of New AT’s directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. However, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived New AT’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder and this provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

New AT’s proposed organizational documents also provide that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. 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, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this forum provision providing for exclusive jurisdiction of federal district courts with respect to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act.

If a court were to find the choice of forum provisions contained in New AT’s proposed organizational documents to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New AT may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm New AT’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Certain holders may be required to recognize gain for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the domestication.

As discussed more fully under the section “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” the domestication should constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Assuming that the domestication so qualifies, U.S. Holders (as defined in such section) of Class A ordinary shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

•        Subject to the discussion below concerning PFICs, a U.S. Holder of Class A ordinary shares whose ordinary shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the domestication and who is not a 10% shareholder (as defined above) will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of LIVK’s earnings in income.

•        Subject to the discussion below concerning PFICs, a U.S. Holder of Class A ordinary shares whose ordinary shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more, but who is not a 10% shareholder will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the deemed receipt of New AT Class A common stock in the domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain as a result of the domestication, such U.S. Holder may file an election to include in income, as a dividend, the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its LIVK Class A ordinary shares provided certain other requirements are satisfied.

•        Subject to the discussion below concerning PFICs, a U.S. Holder of Class A ordinary shares who on the date of the domestication is a 10% shareholder will generally be required to include in income, as a dividend, the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to its LIVK shares provided certain other requirements are satisfied.

•        As discussed further under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below, LIVK believes that it is (and has been) treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the event that LIVK is (or in some cases has been) treated as a PFIC, notwithstanding the foregoing, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date), if finalized in their current form, generally would require a U.S. Holder to recognize gain as a result of the domestication unless the U.S. Holder makes (or has made) certain elections discussed further under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – The Domestication.” The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on a complex set of rules. It is difficult to predict whether such proposed regulations will be finalized and whether, in what form, and with what effective date, other final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. Further,

agreement; provided, that this clause (viii) shall not prevent a determination that any change or effect underlying such failure to meet projections, forecasts or budgets has resulted in or contributed to, or would reasonably be expected to result in or contribute to, a material adverse effect.

Under the merger agreement, certain representations and warranties of LIVK are qualified in whole or in part by a “material adverse effect” standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, a “material adverse effect” means (a) a material adverse change or a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, upon on the assets, financial condition, business or operations of LIVK, taken as a whole, or (b) any effect, change, event or occurrence that would individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of LIVK to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement; provided that in no event shall any LIVK share redemption, individually or in the aggregate with any other LIVK share redemptions, constitute a LIVK material adverse effect.

Covenants of the Parties

•        From the date of the merger agreement through the closing, LIVK will ensure that LIVK remains listed as a public company, and that its Class A ordinary shares remain listed, on Nasdaq.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, LIVK shall give AT prompt (under the circumstances) written notice: (A) of any amendment to any PIPE subscription agreement (other than as a result of any assignments or transfers contemplated therein or otherwise permitted thereby); (B) of any material breach or material default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any PIPE subscription agreement that is known to LIVK; (C) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any PIPE subscription agreement with respect to any actual, potential or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any PIPE subscription agreement or any provisions of any PIPE subscription agreement; and (D) of any underfunding of any amount under any PIPE subscription agreement.

Joint Covenants

•        LIVK agrees that all rights held by each present and former director and officer of AT and any of its subsidiaries to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the effective time, provided in the respective certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, operating agreement, bylaws or other organizational documents of AT or such subsidiary in effect on the date of the merger agreement will survive the business combination and will continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, New AT will cause AT and each of its subsidiaries (i) to maintain for a period of not less than six (6) years from the effective time provisions in its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational

documents concerning the indemnification and exculpation (including provisions relating to expense advancement) of AT’s and its subsidiaries’ former and current officers, directors, employees, and agents that are no less favorable to those persons than the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, operating agreement, bylaws other organizational documents of AT or such subsidiary, as applicable, in each case, as of the date of the merger agreement and (ii) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by law.

•        AT will cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time. If any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, the provisions of the joint indemnification and insurance covenant of the merger agreement will be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

•        LIVK will cause coverage to be extended under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six (6) year “tail” policy containing terms not materially less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the effective time. If any claim is asserted or made within such six (6) year period, the provisions of the joint indemnification and insurance covenant of the merger agreement will be continued in respect of such claim until the final disposition thereof.

•        Notwithstanding anything contained in the merger agreement to the contrary, the joint indemnification and insurance covenant of the merger agreement will survive the consummation of the business combination indefinitely and will be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of New AT and AT. In the event that New AT or AT or any of their respective successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of New AT or AT, as the case may be, will succeed to the obligations set forth in the joint indemnification and insurance covenant of the merger agreement.

•        New AT will maintain customary D&O insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of New AT (at any time, including prior to the date hereof) against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not New AT would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the proposed organizational documents or Section 145 of the DGCL or any other provision of law.

•        As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of the merger agreement, LIVK and AT will prepare, and LIVK will file with the SEC, (i) a proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the business combination to be filed as part of the registration statement and sent to the LIVK shareholders relating to the LIVK extraordinary general meeting for the purposes of the approval of the Transaction Proposals and (ii) the registration statement, in which the proxy statement will be included as a prospectus. LIVK and AT will use reasonable best efforts to cooperate, and cause their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, to reasonably cooperate, with each other and their respective representatives in the preparation of the proxy statement/prospectus and the registration statement. LIVK will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the proxy statement/prospectus and the registration statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof and to keep the registration statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the business combination.

•        LIVK will, as promptly as practicable, notify AT of any correspondence with the SEC relating to the proxy statement/prospectus, the receipt of any oral or written comments from the SEC relating to the proxy statement/prospectus, and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the proxy statement/prospectus or for additional information. LIVK will cooperate and provide AT with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the proxy statement/prospectus (including each amendment or supplement thereto) and all responses to requests for additional information by and replies to comments of the SEC and give due

consideration to all comments reasonably proposed by AT in respect of such documents and responses prior to filing such with or sending such to the SEC, and, to the extent practicable, the parties will provide each other with copies of all such filings made and correspondence with the SEC. LIVK will use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the business combination, and AT will promptly furnish all information concerning AT as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. Each of LIVK and AT will use reasonable best efforts to promptly furnish to each other party all information concerning itself, its subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, members and stockholders, as applicable, and such other matters, in each case, as may be reasonably necessary in connection with and for inclusion in the proxy statement/prospectus, the registration statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of LIVK and AT or their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, to the SEC or Nasdaq in connection with the business combination (including any amendment or supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement) (collectively, the “offer documents”). LIVK will advise AT, promptly after LIVK receives notice thereof, of the time when the registration statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of the ordinary shares or Class A common stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the proxy statement/prospectus, the registration statement or the other offer documents or for additional information.

•        Without limiting the generality of the bullet immediately above, AT will promptly furnish to LIVK for inclusion in the proxy statement/prospectus and the registration statement, (i) with respect to the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flows of AT and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, together with the auditor’s reports (the “audited financial statements”), and consents to use such financial statements and reports and (ii) audited financial statements of AT and its subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, including the accompanying notes, prepared in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X and audited in accordance with PCAOB auditing standards by a PCAOB-qualified auditor that was independent under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, together with auditor’s reports and consents to use such financial statements and reports.

•        LIVK and AT will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that none of the information related to it or any of its affiliates, supplied by or on its behalf for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) either proxy statement/prospectus will, as of the date it is first mailed to the LIVK shareholders, or at the time of the LIVK shareholders’ extraordinary general meeting, or (ii) the registration statement will, at the time the registration statement is filed with the SEC, at each time at which it is amended, at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act and at the effective time, in either case, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

•        If, at any time prior to the effective time, any information relating to LIVK, AT or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors or officers, as applicable, or the AT equity holders is discovered by any of LIVK or AT and is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement, so that such proxy statement/prospectus or the registration statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information will promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information will, subject to the terms of the merger agreement, be promptly filed by LIVK with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the LIVK shareholders.

•        LIVK will take, in accordance with applicable law, Nasdaq rules, and the existing organizational documents, all action necessary to call, hold and convene the extraordinary general meeting of LIVK shareholders to consider and vote upon the Transaction Proposals and to provide the shareholders with the opportunity to effect a LIVK share redemption in connection therewith as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date that the registration statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. LIVK will, through the board of directors of LIVK, recommend to its shareholders (including in the

proxy statement/prospectus) and solicit approval of (i) the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the business combination, (ii) the domestication, (iii) in connection with the domestication, the amendment of the existing organizational documents and approval of the proposed organizational documents, (iv) the issuance of (A) Class A common stock issuable in connection with the business combination and (B) Class A common stock issuable in connection with the PIPE subscription financing, (v) the adoption of the New AT 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, (vi) the adoption of the New AT 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (vii) the election of the directors constituting the board of directors of New AT, (viii) the adoption and approval of any other proposals as the SEC (or staff member thereof) may indicate are necessary in its comments to the proxy statement, the registration statement or correspondence related thereto, (ix) the adoption and approval of any other proposals as reasonably agreed by LIVK and AT to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the business combination and (x) adjournment of the extraordinary general meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing.

•        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the merger agreement, once the extraordinary general meeting to consider and vote upon the Transaction Proposals has been called and noticed, LIVK will not postpone or adjourn the extraordinary general meeting without the consent of AT, other than (i) for the absence of a quorum, in which event LIVK will postpone the meeting up to three (3) times for up to ten (10) business days each time, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that LIVK has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, is necessary under applicable law, and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the LIVK shareholders prior to the extraordinary general meeting, or (iii) a one-time postponement of up to ten (10) business days to solicit additional proxies from LIVK shareholders to the extent LIVK has determined that such postponement is reasonably necessary to obtain the approval of the Transaction Proposals.

•        The parties will take all necessary action to cause the board of directors of New AT as of immediately following the closing to consist of twelve (12) directors, of whom one (1) individual will be designated by LIVK, and of whom eleven (11) individuals will be designated by AT no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement. Each of such AT designees will meet the director qualification and eligibility criteria of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors of LIVK, and a number of the AT designees shall qualify as independent directors as determined by the board of directors of LIVK such that a majority of the directors as of immediately following the closing will qualify as independent directors. The AT designees and the LIVK designee will be assigned to classes of the board of directors of New AT as set forth on the Schedules; provided, however, that following the date hereof, AT may designate up to two (2) individuals to the New AT board not set forth on the Schedules.

•        Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) and provision of notice thereof to the trustee (which notice LIVK will provide to the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust agreement), in accordance with, subject to and pursuant to the trust agreement and the existing organizational documents, (a) at the closing, (i) LIVK will cause the documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the trustee pursuant to the trust agreement to be so delivered, and (ii) will cause the trustee to (A) pay as and when due all amounts payable for LIVK share redemptions and (B) pay all amounts then available in the trust account in accordance with the merger agreement and the trust agreement, including the payment of available cash to AT and (b) thereafter, the trust account will terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

•        LIVK and AT will mutually agree upon and issue a press release announcing the effectiveness of the merger agreement. LIVK and AT will cooperate in good faith with respect to the prompt preparation of, and, as promptly as practicable after the effective date of the merger agreement (but in any event within four (4) business days thereafter), LIVK will file with the SEC, a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act to report the execution of the merger agreement as of its effective date. Prior to closing, LIVK and AT will mutually agree upon and prepare the closing press release announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Concurrently with or promptly

after the closing, LIVK will issue such closing press release. LIVK and AT will cooperate in good faith with respect to the preparation of, and, prior to the closing, LIVK will prepare a draft Form 8-K announcing the closing, together with, or incorporating by reference, the required pro forma financial statements and the historical financial statements prepared by AT and its accountant. Concurrently with the closing, or as soon as practicable (but in any event within four (4) business days) thereafter, New AT will file such 8-K with the SEC.

•        Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement, LIVK will approve, and subject to approval of the shareholders of LIVK, adopt, (a) the New AT 2021 Equity Incentive Plan that provides for grant of equity-based awards to employees, directors and contractors of New AT and its subsidiaries, in the form set forth as an annex to the merger agreement and (b) the New AT 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, that provides for the grant of purchase rights with respect to Class A common stock to employees of New AT and its subsidiaries, in the form set forth as an annex to the merger agreement.

•        During the time period from the date of the merger agreement until the closing date, none of LIVK, on the one hand, or AT and its subsidiaries, on the other hand, will, nor will they authorize or permit their respective representatives to, directly or indirectly (i) take any action to solicit, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or enter into any binding agreement with any person concerning, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to, an acquisition transaction, as defined in the merger agreement, (ii) in the case of LIVK, fail to include the recommendation of the board of directors in (or remove the LIVK board recommendation from) the registration statement, (iii) withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify (or publicly propose or announce any intention or desire to withhold, withdraw, qualify, amend or modify), in a manner adverse to the other party, the approval of such party’s governing body of the merger agreement and/or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or, in the case of LIVK, the recommendation of the board of directors. Promptly upon receipt of an unsolicited proposal regarding an acquisition transaction, each of LIVK and AT will notify the other party thereof, which notice will include a written summary of the material terms of such unsolicited proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may respond to any unsolicited proposal regarding an acquisition transaction only by indicating that such party has entered into a binding definitive agreement with respect to a business combination and is unable to provide any information related to such party or any of its subsidiaries or entertain any proposals or offers or engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning an acquisition transaction.

•        by written notice to AT from LIVK, if: (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of AT set forth in the merger agreement, such that any condition to closing of LIVK related to the accuracy of such representations and warranties or performance of such covenants would not be satisfied at the closing (a “terminating AT breach”), except that, if such terminating AT breach is curable by AT, then, for a period of up to thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date LIVK provides written notice of such violation or breach and the termination date) after receipt by AT of notice from LIVK of such breach, but only as long as AT continues to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such terminating AT breach, such termination will not be effective, and such termination will become effective only if the terminating AT breach is not cured within such cure period; (ii) the closing has not occurred on or before the date that is six (6) months from the date on which the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus contemplated to be filed by the merger agreement is initially filed by LIVK and AT with the SEC; or (iii) the consummation of the business combination is permanently enjoined, prohibited, deemed illegal or prevented by the terms of a final, non-appealable governmental order; provided, that the right to terminate the merger agreement under subsection (ii) of this bullet will not be available if LIVK is in breach of the merger agreement and such breach is the primary cause of the failure of any condition to closing of AT, related to the accuracy of its representations and warranties or performance of its covenants, to be satisfied as of the termination date;

•        by written notice to LIVK from AT, if: (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of LIVK set forth in the merger agreement, such that any condition to closing of AT related to the accuracy of such representations and warranties or performance of such covenants would not be satisfied at the closing (a “terminating LIVK breach”), except that, if any such terminating LIVK breach is curable by LIVK, then, for a period of up to thirty (30) days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date AT provides written notice of such violation or breach and the termination date) after receipt by LIVK of notice from AT of such breach, but only as long as LIVK continues to exercise such reasonable best efforts to cure such terminating LIVK breach, such termination will not be effective, and such termination will become effective only if the terminating LIVK breach is not cured within such cure period; (ii) the closing has not occurred on or before the termination date; or (iii) the consummation of the business combination is permanently enjoined, prohibited, deemed illegal or prevented by the terms of a final, non-appealable governmental order; provided, that the right to terminate the merger agreement under subsection (ii) of this bullet will not be available if LIVK is in breach of the merger agreement and such breach is the primary cause of the failure of any condition to closing of AT, related to the accuracy of its representations and warranties or performance of its covenants, to be satisfied as of the termination date;

•        by written notice from either AT or LIVK to the other party if the approval of LIVK’s shareholders is not obtained upon a vote duly taken thereon at the extraordinary general meeting (subject to any permitted adjournment or postponement of the extraordinary general meeting).

Amendments

The merger agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed by each of the parties to the merger agreement; provided that, following the LIVK shareholder approval having been obtained, there shall be no amendment or modification that would require the further approval of LIVK equity holders under applicable law without such approval having first been obtained.

Trust Account Waiver

AT has agreed that it will not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in LIVK’s trust account held for its shareholders, and has agreed not to, and waived any right to, make any claim against the trust account (including any distributions therefrom); provided, however, that the foregoing will not amend, limit, alter, change, supersede or otherwise modify the right of AT to (i) bring any action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief or (ii) bring or seek a claim for damages against LIVK, or any of its successors or assigns, for any breach of the merger agreement (but such claim shall not be against the trust account or any funds distributed from the trust account to holders of LIVK ordinary shares in accordance with LIVK’s existing organizational documents and the trust agreement) (the “trust waiver”).

Related Agreements

This section describes the material provisions of certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into pursuant to the merger agreement or in connection with the business combination, which we refer to as the “Related Agreements,” but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The Related Agreements are either attached as annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus or have previously been filed with the SEC on LIVK’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A, dated as of May 11, 2021. Shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read such Related Agreements in their entirety.

Voting and Support Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, certain AT equity holders entered into voting and support agreements in favor of LIVK and AT and their respective successors.

In the voting and support agreements, the AT support agreement equity holders (the “AT support agreement equity holders”) agreed to vote all of their AT equity interests in favor of the merger agreement, the business combination and related transactions and to take certain other actions in support of the merger agreement, the business combination and related transactions. The voting and support agreements also prevent the AT support agreement equity holders from transferring their voting rights with respect to their AT equity interests or otherwise transferring their AT equity interests prior to the closing, except for certain permitted transfers. The AT support agreement equity holders also each agreed, with certain exceptions, to a lock-up for a period ending on the earlier of (a) the date that is 180 days from the closing and (b) the date on which the closing price of shares of Class A common stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following 150 days following the date of the closing, with respect to any securities of New AT that they receive as merger consideration under the merger agreement.

The foregoing description of the voting and support agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the voting and support agreements, the form of which, is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, our sponsor, its permitted transferees and the insiders entered into the sponsor letter agreement with LIVK and AT pursuant to which they agreed to vote all of their respective Class B ordinary shares of LIVK (along with the Class A common stock into which such shares are converted as a result of the domestication and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, the “sponsor shares”) in favor of the business combination and related transactions and to take certain other actions in support of the merger agreement, the business combination and related transactions. Sponsor and the insiders also agreed that, in the event that the amount of available cash is less than $50,000,000, then up to 20% of the sponsor shares will be deemed to be “deferred sponsor shares.” Sponsor, its permitted transferees and the insiders also agreed

that each of them will not transfer and, subject to the failure to achieve certain milestones, may be required to forfeit, any such deferred sponsor shares, subject to the terms of the sponsor letter agreement. Sponsor also waived certain anti-dilution protection to which it would otherwise be entitled in connection with the PIPE subscription financing.

Sponsor and each of the insiders also agreed, with certain exceptions, to a lock-up for a period ending on the earlier of (a) the date that is 180 days from the closing and (b) the date on which the closing price of shares of Class A common stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following 150 days following the date of the closing, with respect to any securities of New AT that they will hold as of immediately following the closing.

The sponsor letter agreement also provides that, for so long as sponsor and its affiliates and its and their respective permitted transferees continue to own, directly or indirectly, securities of New AT representing more than 4% of the combined voting power of New AT’s then outstanding voting securities, sponsor will be entitled to nominate one director designee to serve on the board of directors of New AT.

No separate consideration was provided to our sponsor or the insiders in exchange for their execution of the sponsor letter agreement.

The foregoing description of the sponsor letter agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the sponsor letter agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

Currently, our sponsor has the benefit of registration rights with respect to our securities that it holds pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with our IPO.

In connection with closing of the business combination, our sponsor and certain post-merger holders of New AT’s Class A common stock will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with New AT. As a result, our sponsor and such post-merger holders of New AT’s Class A common stock will be able to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of their registrable securities, subject to a maximum of two such demand registrations for our sponsor and five such demand registrations for such post-merger holders of New AT’s Class A common stock party thereto, in each case so long as such demand includes a number of registrable securities with a total offering price in excess of $10.0 million. Any such demand may be in the form of an underwritten offering and will be subject to customary restrictions and conditions as contemplated in the amended and restated registration rights agreement.

In addition, the holders of registrable securities will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by New AT subsequent to the consummation of the business combination.

New AT has also agreed to file within 45 days of closing of the business combination a resale shelf registration statement covering the resale of all registrable securities.

Finally, pursuant to the subscription agreements with the subscription investors, we have agreed that we will use our reasonable best efforts to:

•        file within 30 calendar days after the closing of the business combination a resale shelf registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of all shares of New AT’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to the subscription agreements; and

•        maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (A) the fourth anniversary of the closing of the business combination, (B) the date on which the subscription investors cease to hold any shares of New AT’s Class A common stock issued pursuant to the subscription agreements, or (C) on the first date on which the subscription investors can sell all of their shares issued pursuant to the subscription agreements (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act within 90 days without limitation as to the manner of sale or amount of such securities that may be sold. New AT will bear the cost of registering these securities.

The foregoing description of the registration rights to be in effect is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of amended and restated registration rights agreement and the form of subscription agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.1 to this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporated herein by reference.

PIPE Subscription Agreements

In connection with the business combination, we entered into subscription agreements with certain subscription investors pursuant to which we have agreed to issue and sell to the subscription investors, in the aggregate, $26,500,000 or 2,650,000 shares of Class A common stock of New AT at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. The closing of the PIPE subscription financing will occur immediately prior to the closing, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement.

The foregoing description of the subscription agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of subscription agreements, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference.

Conversion Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the merger agreement, AT entered into the conversion agreement with the Second Lien Lenders, pursuant to which all of the outstanding total obligations due to each Second Lien Lender under the Second Lien Facility will be converted into shares of common stock of AT immediately prior to the business combination. Subsequently, at the effective time of the business combination, such shares of common stock of AT will automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the common merger consideration and each Second Lien Lender will be entitled to receive their proportionate interest of the common merger consideration as a holder of AT common stock. Assuming the business combination closes prior to August 18, 2021, pursuant to the conversion agreement the Second Lien Lenders will receive 114,041 shares of AT common stock immediately prior to the business combination.

The Credit Suisse Lender also agreed, with certain exceptions, to a lock-up for a period ending on the earlier of (a) the date that is 180 days from the closing and (b) the date on which the closing price of shares of Class A common stock on Nasdaq equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following 150 days following the date of the closing, with respect to any securities of New AT that they receive as merger consideration under the merger agreement.

The foregoing description of the conversion agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the conversion agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.10 to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference.

Equity Contribution Agreement

On February 2, 2021, LIV Fund IV entered into the equity contribution agreement with AT and LIVK pursuant to which LIV Fund IV agreed, among other things, to purchase 2,000,000 shares of AT preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000 (such purchase, the “LIV Fund IV Investment”). The LIV Fund IV Investment was consummated on March 19, 2021. The proceeds from the purchase were used to partially repay the First Lien Facility.

On March 19, 2021, AT amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to provide for the terms of the AT preferred stock. The AT preferred stock ranks senior to AT’s common stock and any other class or series of AT’s capital stock (whether existing at the time of issuance of the AT preferred stock or thereafter created or issued pursuant to existing agreements of AT or otherwise) with respect to the distribution of assets upon AT’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up or otherwise. The terms of the AT preferred stock provide that, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of AT or any deemed liquidation event (as defined in AT’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which definition includes certain mergers and consolidations involving AT and/or its subsidiaries and certain sales, leases, transfers, exclusive licenses or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the assets of AT and its subsidiaries, but which excludes the business combination), LIV Fund IV, as the holders of AT preferred stock, will be entitled to receive out of the assets of AT available for distribution to stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors, if any, and before any distribution of assets is made to holders of AT’s common

stock or of any other class or series of AT’s capital stock, a liquidating distribution in cash in an amount equal to the Required Return (as defined below). After the payment in full of the Required Return, the balance of any assets of AT will be distributed to the holders of AT’s outstanding common stock. Holders of AT preferred stock are not entitled to receive any dividends, and, for so long as the AT preferred stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be paid or declared or funds set aside for payment on any other stock of AT, and no stock of AT may be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by AT, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of LIV Fund IV, as the holders of AT preferred stock.

If the business combination is consummated, the AT preferred stock will convert into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. However, if the merger agreement is terminated prior to the consummation of the business combination (other than as a result of LIVK’s failure to satisfy or perform any of its obligations under the merger agreement), LIV Fund IV, as the holders of AT preferred stock, will be entitled to require the redemption or repurchase of all or any of the AT preferred stock for an amount in cash equal to the greater of (A) the Required Price (as defined below) or (B) $10 per share plus simple interest thereon at an aggregate rate of 18% per annum, compounded quarterly, accruing from and after March 19, 2021 through the time of redemption or repurchase (or consummation of AT’s IPO or another transaction resulting in liquidity for holders of AT preferred stock (including in connection with a deemed liquidation event)) (such amount, the “Required Return”), but AT is only obligated to redeem or repurchase its preferred stock if: (i) AT is in compliance with its senior secured credit agreement at the time of the redemption or repurchase, (ii) AT will be in compliance with such senior secured credit agreement after giving effect to the redemption or repurchase, and (iii) AT is otherwise permitted to make the redemption or repurchase under applicable law. The “Required Price” is determined as follows: if the redemption or repurchase (or consummation of AT’s IPO or another transaction resulting in liquidity for holders of AT preferred stock (including in connection with a deemed liquidation event)) occurs (i) on or prior to March 19, 2023, the Required Price will be $15.00 per share of AT preferred stock, (ii) after March 19, 2023 but on or prior to March 19, 2025, the Required Price will be $17.50 per share of AT preferred stock, and (iii) after March 19, 2025, the Required Price will be $20.00 per share of AT preferred stock. In the event AT consummates an IPO while the AT preferred stock is outstanding (which IPO does not include the business combination), the AT preferred stock will convert into a number of shares of voting common stock of AT equal to (a) the Required Return divided by (b) (i) 0.9 multiplied by (ii) the price at which shares of voting common stock of AT are initially priced in such IPO.

The foregoing description of the equity contribution agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the equity contribution agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.11 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Background of the Business Combination

Background of the Business Combination

LIVK is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and related agreements, including the business combination and PIPE subscription financing, are a result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing, operating and transaction experience of LIVK’s management team and board of directors.

On December 10, 2019, LIVK consummated its IPO of 8,050,000 units. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one public warrant. Each whole public warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $80,500,000 (before business combination marketing fees and offering expenses). Simultaneously with the consummation of LIVK’s IPO and the sale of the units, LIVK consummated a private placement of 2,811,250 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, issued to LIVK’s sponsor, generating total proceeds of $2,811,250. A total of $80,500,000 was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of LIVK’s public shareholders.

Prior to the consummation of the IPO, neither LIVK, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with LIVK.

As described in the prospectus for the IPO, LIVK’s business strategy was to identify and complete an initial business combination with a Mexican target business (or a non-Mexican target business with a significant presence in Mexico). LIVK identified certain general, non-exclusive criteria and guidelines that it believed were important in evaluating prospective targets for the initial business combination.

LIVK broadly focused on target businesses that it believed (i) had the potential to further improve their performance from an active “hands-on” role in strategic, operational and financial direction, (ii) had a proven business model with consistent operational performance, (iii) had a top-tier, proven executive management team, (iv) exhibited institutional-level operations and financial controls, (v) had durable competitive advantages that are differentiated in the sector, (vi) would benefit from capital markets access, and (vii) exhibited unrecognized value and desirable returns on capital.

After the IPO, LIVK commenced an active search for prospective business combination candidates. LIVK contacted, and was contacted by, a number of individuals and entities with respect to business combination opportunities. During this search process, LIVK reviewed, and entered into preliminary discussions with respect to, a number of acquisition opportunities.

During that process, LIVK’s management team:

•        developed an initial list of potential business combination candidates that were primarily identified through LIVK’s management team’s general industry knowledge and network;

•        considered and conducted analyses of approximately eighty potential business combination candidates across industry verticals;

•        engaged in meaningful and detailed discussions, due diligence, and negotiations with five potential business combination candidates or their representatives, one of which was AT; and

•        engaged advisors in connection with LIVK’s consideration of a business combination with AT to conduct financial, internal controls and tax diligence and legal diligence as to certain aspects of legal matters related to AT, its subsidiaries and its operations of AT.

In selecting the approximately eighty potential business combination candidates that the LIVK management team considered and conducted analyses of following development of the initial list of potential business combination candidates, LIVK’s management team focused on identifying businesses with a combination of all or certain the following general attributes:

•        a strong domestic presence in Mexico and/or with international presence, as well as candidates based in Latin America and the U.S. that have a significant presence in Mexico;

•        a tangible opportunity to expand the business into Mexico through a business combination with LIVK;

•        the potential to further improve performance from an active “hands-on” role in strategic, operational and financial direction — LIVK searched for target businesses that have clear opportunities for long-term sustainable growth that would benefit from LIVK’s transactional, financial, managerial and investment expertise as well as LIVK’s extensive networks and insights because LIVK believes its management team has the skills and capabilities to enhance target businesses’ results and develop greater managerial depth and sophistication, facilitate new commercial opportunities and work closely with target businesses’ management teams in designing and executing growth strategies;

•        a proven business model with consistent operational performance — LIVK sought to identify a target business that has significant commercial traction, robust growth potential and has historically exhibited profitability or has a clear path towards profitability;

•        a top-tier proven executive management team — LIVK sought to identify a target business that has an experienced managerial group with a clear vision about how to grow their business based on a successful track record of achieving a relevant market position in their industry;

•        exhibiting institutional-level operations and financial controls — LIVK sought to identify a target business that has the underlying infrastructure and operations to build a public company platform;

•        having durable competitive advantages that are differentiated in the applicable sector — LIVK sought to identify a target business that not only benefits from secular tailwinds in its respective industry, but also exhibits hard-to-replicate competitive advantages amongst its peers;

•        may benefit from access to the capital markets — LIVK sought to identify a target business that may benefit from being, or has the potential to become, a public company with an increased public profile, enhanced corporate governance and increased access to a more diversified pool of capital; and

•        exhibiting unrecognized value and desirable returns on capital — LIVK sought to identify a target business that it believes had been undervalued by the marketplace based on LIVK’s analysis and due diligence review.

Based on the foregoing criteria, the LIVK management team believed that forty-three target businesses were not appropriate business combination candidates for reasons that included, among others, such businesses’ organic and inorganic growth plans and opportunities, capital needs, readiness to be public companies, internal controls, corporate governance and valuation expectations. Accordingly, LIVK’s management team proceeded to coordinate LIVK’s entry into non-disclosure agreements with a majority of the thirty-seven potential business combination candidates. Following the execution of such non-disclosure agreements, LIVK received, subject to confidentiality obligations requiring LIVK to keep such materials confidential, and LIVK’s management team reviewed business plans, financial statements and projections and certain other due diligence information of such thirty-seven target businesses.

LIVK’s management team focused on evaluating the following based on the materials received from such thirty-seven target businesses:

•        certain sector-specific criteria, including the following:

•        positive demand elasticity in relation to GDP growth, but with manageable volatility levels;

•        low penetration levels with respect to the total market;

•        high growth expectations as a result of competitive dynamics;

•        capital needs to fund growth;

•        positions to benefit from population growth trends in future years; and/or

•        positions to benefit from the availability of discretionary income in the applicable target market(s).

•        have not achieved their maximum potential in stable industries or industries with sustained growth tendencies. LIVK’s plan consisted of looking for companies which are compatible with LIVK’s management team’s value creation experience, where improvement initiatives prior to LIVK’s investment had been identified and follow-up processes are established to implement and optimize such initiatives;

•        businesses that have reached an inflection point and:

•        that may innovate with new products or services to enhance organic growth;

•        that can achieve better financial performance through an acquisition to improve their growth profile;

•        present recurrent business and financial opportunities to create value to shareholders;

•        have expansion opportunities not yet exploited or implemented;

•        the value of which has not been recognized within their industry or by the broad equity capital markets and has been identified by LIVK’s industry/company analysis, with areas identified to complement this analysis being:

•        opportunity to improve client quality and base;

•        opportunity for generation of higher quality earnings;

•        ability for operational improvements to reduce costs;
