Reverse Stock Split – On September 26, 2023, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of voting common stock at a ratio of one-for-eight (1:8) pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The reverse stock split was reflected on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) beginning with the opening of trading on September 27, 2023. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, every eight shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares or the par value per share of the common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share instead became entitled to receive one whole share of common stock in lieu of such fractional share. Equitable adjustments corresponding to the reverse stock split ratio were made to all (i) issued and outstanding shares of all other classes of stock of the Company, (ii) the exercise prices of and number of shares of common stock underlying the Company’s public and private warrants, (iii) the number of shares of common stock underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, and (iv) the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plan. All share and per share amounts of the common stock included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value to additional paid-in capital.

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

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

Sale of Business – During the first quarter of 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a plan to sell the Software-as-a-Service business (the “SaaS Business”). On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) and completed the sale of SaaS Business. In connection with the Sale, the Company recognized a gain of $59.7 million on the sale of SaaS Business during the period ended June 30, 2024 presented within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 4 for additional information. In conjunction to the sale of SaaS Business, the Company also entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” or “SPA”) with MBI Holdings, LP (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Rodina Capital (“Rodina”). See Note 12 for additional information.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP) and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented, under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rubicon Technologies, Inc., and subsidiaries. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or for the entire year ending December 31, 2024. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed in, or omitted from, these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024 and Form 10-K/A filed with SEC on May 20, 2024 due to restatements related to additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest.

Liquidity and going concern consideration – The Company has historically incurred losses from operations and generated negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company also has negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2024. The Company has net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by the gain on sale of its SaaS business, see Note 4 – Discontinued operations and business disposition for further details.

As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.2 8,153 million, accounts receivable totaled $54.8 54,791 million and unbilled accounts receivable totaled $54.9 million. Through the sale of SaaS Business, the Company received cash for a total amount of $81.7 million, of which $57 million was used to prepay the outstanding balances for the June 2023 Term Loan (as defined in Note 6) and the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6), $20 million was used to repay the outstanding balances for accounts payable, and $3.2 million was used to pay expenses incurred for the sale. Availability under the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which provided the ability to borrow up to $90.0 million, was $0.2 million, and the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on March 9, 2025. In conjunction to the sale of SaaS Business, the Company also entered into side letters with lenders of the June 2023 Term Loan, the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, and the December 2021 Subordinated Term Loan. All side letters required the Company to initiate a sale process to sell all or substantially all of the equity interests and assets of the Company within 300 days of the completion of the sale of SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. The letter required two milestones of the sale process, (i) within four-months of May 7, 2024, the Company should enter into a binding letter of intent to consummate the sale of the Company and (ii) within ten-months of May 7, 2024, the Company should consummate the sale of the Company and repay the outstanding balances of the debts in full. If any of the milestones are not met and such failure is not cured by the Company in accordance with such terms, the outstanding balances for the June 2023 Term Loan, the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, and the December 2021 Subordinated Term Loan will become due in full within ten months of May 7, 2024. The side letters effectively accelerate the maturity of the June 2023 Term Loan, the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, and the December 2021 Subordinated Term Loan, resulting in potential negative impacts on the Company’s cash position and liquidity. Pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell up to $50.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock through Cantor. However, it is uncertain how quickly Cantor will be able to sell such shares of Class A Common Stock at the price the Company requests to deliver additional liquidity to the Company.

The Company currently projects that it will not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity under existing arrangements to meet the Company’s projected liquidity needs for the next 12 months. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

To address liquidity needs, the Company has been working to execute various initiatives to modify its operations to reduce spending and improve cash flow. Initiatives the Company has undertaken in recent periods include (i) increased focus on operational efficiencies and cost reduction measures, (ii) eliminating redundancies that have been the byproduct of the Company’s recent growth and expansion, (iii) evaluating the Company’s portfolio and less profitable accounts to better ensure the Company is deploying resources efficiently, and (iv) exercising strict capital discipline for future investments, such as requiring investments to meet minimum hurdle rates. Additionally, on May 7, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its SaaS Business (see Note 4 for further information) and entered into the Rodina SPA (see Note 12 for further information) which provided the Company with additional cash.

The Company believes that additional capital will be needed to provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s known liquidity needs for the next 12 months given that the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature and the borrowings under the facility will become due and payable on the maturity date. However, while management believes the Company will be able to obtain additional capital through debt and equity financing, including sales of Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Sales Agreement, to the extent necessary, the Company has obtained no firm commitment from current or prospective investors to date and no assurance can be provided that such additional financing will be obtained at the level acceptable to the Company within the necessary timeframe, if at all. Failure to secure sufficient additional funding in a timely manner or at all will impact the Company’s liquidity, including its ability to service its debt and other liabilities, and may require the Company to modify, delay, or abandon some of its planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact additional operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition, and could force the Company to limit its business activities or discontinue its operations entirely.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

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

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

Emerging Growth Company – The Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company did not opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an EGC, will be required to adopt the new or revised standard at the time the new or revised standard becomes applicable to private companies. The effective dates shown in Note 2 below reflect the election to use the extended transition period.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes service revenue over time, consistent with efforts performed and when the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s services. The Company recognizes recyclable commodity revenue at the point in time when the ownership, risks, and rewards transfer. The Company derives its revenue from waste removal, waste management and consultation services, software subscriptions prior to the disposition of the SaaS business (Note 4), and the sale of recyclable commodities.

Service Revenue:

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

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

Recyclable Commodity Revenue:

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

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

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

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) which we recognize revenue at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed and (iii) variable consideration which is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. After applying these optional exemptions, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was insignificant.

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

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

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

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

Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances – Accounts receivable consist of trade accounts receivable for services provided to customers. Accounts receivable is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon the Company’s assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Past-due balances and other higher-risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowances for accounts receivable and contract assets were $3.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

In cases where customers pay for services in arrears, the Company accrues revenue in advance of billings as long as the criteria for revenue recognition are met, thus creating a contract asset (unbilled receivable). As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s continuing operations had unbilled receivables of $54.9 million and $75.6 million, respectively. These unbilled balances were the result of services provided in the period, but not yet billed to the customer. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company invoiced its customers $74.6 million pertaining to contract assets for services delivered prior to December 31, 2023. As further described in Note 4, $-0- million and $1.1 million of contract assets were classified to current assets of discontinued operations on the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) consist of amounts collected prior to having satisfied the performance obligation. The Company periodically invoices customers for recurring front load services in advance monthly basis. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s continuing operations had deferred revenue balances of $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $1.5 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2023. As further described in Note 4, $-0- million and $5.9 million of contract liabilities were classified to current liabilities held for sale on the accompanying condensed balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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

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

Level 1 – Valuations for financial assets and financial liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the NYSE.

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

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

See Note 16 for further information regarding fair value measurements.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Class A Stock – The Company recorded its redeemable convertible preferred class A stock at the allocated issuance price, less issuance costs on the dates of issuance, May 7, 2024. The redeemable convertible preferred class A stock is classified outside of permanent equity as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The redeemable convertible preferred class A stock is redeemable at the holder’s option when the redemption will not result in an event of default or similar concept under any existing debt agreements; upon certain change in control events that are outside of the Company’s control such as a change of control of the Company; or an event of insolvency. Holders also have the rights to receive their liquidation preference upon an event of insolvency. The Company has not adjusted the carrying values of the redeemable convertible preferred class A stock since it was not probable of becoming redeemable at June 30, 2024. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values will be made only when it becomes probable that such redemption will occur. See Note 12 for additional information.

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

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

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

Earn-out Liabilities– Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Blocked Unitholders immediately before the Closing received a right to receive a pro rata portion of 186,064 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Class A Shares”) and (ii) Rubicon Continuing Unitholders (as defined in Note 3) immediately before the Closing received a right to receive a pro rata portion of 1,112,605 Class B Units (as defined in Note 3) (“Earn-Out Units”) and an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Class V Common Stock”) (“Earn-Out Class V Shares”, and together with Earn-Out Class A Shares and Earn-Out Units, “Earn-Out Interests”), in each case, depending upon the performance of Class A Common Stock during the five year period after the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”), as set forth below upon satisfaction of any of the following conditions (each, an “Earn-Out Condition”).

(1)

50% of the Earn-Out Interests if the volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $112.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations) for twenty (20) of thirty (30) consecutive trading days during the Earn-Out Period; and

(2)

50% of the Earn-Out Interests if the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $128.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, and recapitalizations) for twenty (20) of any thirty (30) consecutive trading days during the Earn-Out Period.

The Company accounts for these Earn-Out Interests as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms (as further defined in Note 3) and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).

Earn-Out Interests were classified as liability transactions at initial issuance, which offset against additional paid-in capital as of the Closing. At each period end, Earn-Out Interests are remeasured to their fair value, with the changes during that period recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations. Upon issuance and release of the shares after each Earn-Out Condition is met, the related Earn-Out Interests will be remeasured to their fair value at that time with the changes recognized as a component of other income (expense), and such Earn-Out Interests will be reclassed to stockholders’ deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Earn-Out Interests had a fair value of $-0- million and $0.1 million, respectively, with the changes in the fair value of $0.1 million recognized as a gain on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities under other income (expense) within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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

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

The financial results of Holdings LLC were consolidated into Rubicon Technologies, Inc. and 1.67% and (14.42)% of Holdings LLC’s net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was allocated to noncontrolling interests (“NCI”), respectively.

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

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

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of tax benefits associated with the positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023, the Company has no tax positions that met this threshold and, therefore, has not recognized such benefits. The Company has reviewed and will continue to review the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions, which may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of the conclusions reached regarding uncertain tax positions changes as a result of the evaluation of new information, such change in estimates will be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. The Company reports income tax-related interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.

The Company’s income tax expense was $2.0 million and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 6.80% and (0.1)%, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense was $2.0 million and $0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with an effective tax rate of 17.57% and (0.1)%, respectively. The provision for income taxes differs from the amount that would result from applying statutory rates primarily due to the changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance including a release of valuation allowance on net operating losses, expense related to the gain on the sale of the SaaS business, loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, and differences in the deductibility of certain book and tax expenses, including the changes in fair value of earn-out liabilities, warrant liabilities and derivatives. The Company’s net operating losses utilized are limited under Section 382 and were generated during 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. The Company intends to maintain this position until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowance. The Company also has certain assets with indefinite lives for which the basis is different for book and tax. As a result, the Company is in a net deferred tax liability position of $0.3 million and $0.2 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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

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

recognizes a contingent liability for the TRA obligation when it is deemed probable and estimable, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in-capital, based on the estimate of the aggregate amount that the Company will pay;

records an increase in deferred tax assets for the estimated income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state tax rates at the date of the exchange;

to the extent the Company estimates that the full benefit represented by the deferred tax asset will not be fully realized based on an analysis that will consider, among other things, the expectation of future earnings, the Company reduces the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance; and

the effects of changes in any of the estimates and subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates after the initial recognition will be included in the Company’s net loss.

A TRA liability is determined and recorded under ASC 450, “Contingencies”, as a contingent liability; therefore, the Company is required to evaluate whether the liability is both probable and the amount can be estimated. Since the TRA liability is payable upon cash tax savings and the Company has not determined that positive future taxable income is probable based on the Company’s historical loss position and other factors that make it difficult to rely on forecasts, the Company has not recorded the TRA liability as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. The Company will evaluate this on a quarterly basis, which may result in an adjustment in future periods.

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

Diluted income (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potential weighted-average dilutive shares for the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards or financial instruments, if any, is reflected in diluted income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method or if converted method, as applicable. Stock awards are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in the event they are antidilutive or subject to performance conditions for which the necessary conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the reporting period. See Note 15 for additional information on dilutive securities.

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

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

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

Note 3—Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

Revision of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company noted that certain YA warrants (see Note 10) were improperly reclassified to equity from liability in the end of February 2024. Specifically, the Company (a) did not appropriately perform full analysis on all the terms within the agreement that could trigger liability classification resulting in an overstatement of shareholders’ equity and understatement of warrant liabilities; and (b) did not fair value warrant liabilities through the end of March 31, 2024 due to the reclassification of warrant liabilities to equity during the period ended March 31, 2024 resulting in an overstatement of the gain from the change in fair value of the YA warrants for the period ended March 31, 2024.

The Company has revised its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and revised the impacted amounts within the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company elected to correct immaterial errors that it identified in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 previously issued.

Warrant liabilities – The outstanding warrants which were classified as warrant liabilities, as of June 30, 2024, were the YA Warrant and the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants. The June 2023 Term Loan Warrants were classified as level 2. The YA warrant liabilities were classified to level 3 as of June 30, 2024 and level 2 as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The sole underlying asset of the outstanding warrant liabilities of level 2 warrant liabilities as of March 31, 2024 was Class A Common Stock, which is an observable input, however the value of the warrants themselves were not directly or indirectly observable. The fair value of the warrant liabilities for the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants were determined based on price of the underlying share and the terms of each warrant, specifically whether each warrant is exercisable for a fixed number of shares of Class A Common Stock, hence the value of the total shares a warrant is exercisable for is variable, or a fixed value of shares of Class A Common Stock thus the number of the total shares a warrant is exercisable for is variable. The exercise prices of the liability-classified warrants which were outstanding as of March 31, 2024 were minimal ($0.08 per Class A Common Stock share) and did not have significant impact to the fair value measurements of these warrants. The fair value of the YA Warrant liability was determined using the redemption value of the warrant upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Warrant Agreement. See Note 10 for further information regarding the warrant liabilities.

Note 4—Discontinued Operations and Business Disposition

Discontinued Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company commenced a strategic evaluation of its SaaS Business. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had committed to a plan to sell the business within one year and was actively marketing it in its current condition. The SaaS Business met the held for sale criteria and represented a strategic shift in the Company’s operations. As a result, the SaaS Business have been presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations for all periods and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements have been adjusted on a retrospective basis.

The Company only has one reporting unit. The SaaS Business met the criteria for classification as held for sale and discontinued operations, therefore, goodwill is allocated to noncurrent assets of discontinued operations on the accompanying balance sheets as December 31, 2023 based on the relative fair value of the SaaS Business and the remaining business.

On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the SaaS Business to an entity affiliated with Andres Chico, chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and Jose Miguel Enrich, a beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock. Refer to Business disposition below for further discussion on the sale of the SaaS business.

The following table presents the aggregate carrying amounts of the classes of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of the SaaS Business disposed as of May 7, 2024 (disposition date) and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Business Disposition

On May 7, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the SaaS Business to an entity affiliated with Andres Chico, chairman of the Company’s board of directors, and Jose Miguel Enrich, a beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock. The total consideration was $61.7 million, which was calculated based on total closing date consideration of $68.2 million minus the working capital adjustment of $6.5 million. In conjunction with the sale of the SaaS business, on May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” or “SPA”) with MBI Holdings, LP (the “Buyer”), which is also commonly controlled by Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company issued and sold to the Buyer 20,000 shares of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, at $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $20 million. The Company evaluated both events and identified two units of accounting, which is the Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) of the sale of the SaaS business and the SPA of the issuance of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock. As such, the total cash proceeds from the sale of the SaaS business and the issuance of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock were allocated between the two transactions based on the relative fair value of the SaaS business and the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, resulting in $65.9 million allocated to the sale of the SaaS business and $16.1 million allocated to the issuance of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (See Note 12).

The APA provides a potential earn-out payment to the Company of $12.5 million if the SaaS Business, after the transaction, achieves a certain annual recurring revenue target on or prior to December 31, 2024. The potential earn-out payment will be decreased by the amount of contingent payment of $2.5 million from the “Take-private Transaction” discussed below. Given that the earn-out payment depends on the SaaS business sold achieving a certain level of annual recurring revenue target, the earnout consideration is not accounted for as derivative. The Company records the earnout consideration at its fair value at the transaction date and determined that the fair value of the earn-out payment was $0.3 million at the closing of the transaction on May 7, 2024, and recognized a $0.3 million contingent consideration receivable on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 since the fair value of the earn-out consideration did not change significantly. The Company will perform subsequent assessments at each reporting date to evaluate and adjust the fair value for the receivable, if needed.

Additionally, the APA also provides a contingent payment of $2.5 million from the Buyer if the shareholder approval of a “Take-private Transaction” with the Buyer or the Buyer’s affiliates occurs prior to December 31, 2024. In order for the Company to receive the contingent payment of $2.5 million, a business combination, a merger, or other change of control must occur between the Buyer or the Buyer’s Affiliates or the Buyer’s Parent resulting in a delisting and deregistration of the Company’s stock with the SEC. The payment of the $2.5 million is based on a binary event, which is a business combination, which either occurs or does not occur and is outside the control of the Company. Therefore, this contingent payment of $2.5 million does not qualify as a derivative, and is concluded as a contingent gain, which is recognized when it occurs.

To determine the gain derived from the sale of the SaaS business, the Company performed the calculation based on the allocated proceeds of the sale of the SaaS business and the closing balances of the SaaS businesses reported as of May 7, 2024, which consisted of total assets in the amount of $13.6 million, total liabilities of $7.3 million, for a net assets disposed of $6.3 million, compared to the allocated proceeds of $65.9 million. As such, the Company recognized $59.7 million in gain from the sale of the SaaS business on May 7, 2024.

The Company has only one reporting unit and evaluates goodwill for impairment at the single reporting unit level. As a result, there is no goodwill assigned specifically to the SaaS business and goodwill pertaining to the sale of the SaaS business is allocated based on the relative fair value of the SaaS Business and the remaining business. As such, the Company allocated goodwill in the amount of $11.4 million to the SaaS business at the close of the sale on May 7, 2024, at which such goodwill was part of total assets in the gain calculation above.

Note 5—Property and equipment

Property and equipment, net is comprised of the following as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Property and equipment amortization and depreciation expense of continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Property and equipment amortization and depreciation expense of continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As further described in Note 4, $1.9 million of customer equipment and $1.1 million of related accumulated depreciation were classified to noncurrent assets of discontinued operations on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. On May 7, 2024, $2.0 million of customer equipment and $1.3 million of related accumulated depreciation were disposed as part of the sale of the SaaS business.

Note 6—Debt

Revolving Credit Facilities

Revolving Credit Facility – On December 14, 2018, the Company entered into a $60.0 million “Revolving Credit Facility” secured by all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, intellectual property, and general intangibles. The Revolving Credit Facility’s maturity was December 14, 2023 and bore an interest rate of SOFR plus 5.60%. On February 7, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which increased the maximum borrowing amount to $75.0 million and amended the interest rate to between 4.8% up to SOFR plus 4.9%. On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into another amendment which included a modification of the maturity date and a lender’s consent to an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement. In accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company concluded that these Revolving Credit Facility amendments were debt modifications.

On June 7, 2023, the Company fully prepaid the borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $48.6 million and terminated the facility. As a result, the Company recorded $2.6 million of a loss on extinguishment of debt obligations on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility – On June 7, 2023, the Company entered into a $90.0 million “June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility” secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, all contracts and contract rights and general intangibles, with a maturity date of the earlier of (i) June 7, 2026 or (ii) 90 days prior to the maturity date of the June 2023 Term Loan (defined below) (the “Springing Maturity”). The June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility bears an interest rate of SOFR plus 4.25% (or 3.95% if the Company meets certain conditions defined in the agreement) (9.7% as of June 30, 2024). The borrowing capacity is calculated based on the Company’s borrowing base collateral as defined in the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility agreement, which is comprised of qualified billed and unbilled receivables and the September 2023 Rodina Letter of Credit (as defined below). The fee on the average daily balance of unused loan commitments is 0.5%. Interest and fees are payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month.

The June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility requires a lockbox arrangement, which provides for receipts to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding at the discretion of the lender. This arrangement, combined with the existence of the subjective acceleration clause in the Line of Credit agreement, necessitates the Line of Credit be classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The acceleration clause allows for amounts borrowed under the facility to become immediately due in the event of a material adverse change in the Company’s business condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects, change of management, or change in control.

On September 22, 2023, an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich issued a standby letter of credit in the amount of $15.0 million (the “September 2023 Rodina Letter of Credit”) to the lender of the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility on behalf of the Company, which increased the Company’s borrowing base collateral under the facility by $15.0 million. The expiration date of the September 2023 Rodina Letter of Credit is September 30, 2024 with an automatic renewal option for one additional year through September 30, 2025.

On December 5, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. The amendment temporally modified the calculation methodology of the borrowing base collateral, resulting in its increase by $5.0 million through January 15, 2024, which was subsequently extended to March 15, 2024 with an option to be further extended to June 15, 2024. To date, the modified calculation methodology of the borrowing base has been extended on a month-to-month basis.

On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the amendment, (i) the lender consented to the SaaS Business sale and (ii) the Company agreed to make a partial prepayment of $11.4 million upon close of the sale of SaaS Business. Concurrently, the Company executed a side letter with the lender of the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which included additional non-financial covenants for certain time-based milestones in relation to potential transactions the Company may enter into in future periods, including an agreement of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s equity interests and assets or a merger. The side letter required the Company to initiate a sale process within 300 days of the completion of the sale of SaaS Business on May 7, 2024.

Note 10—Warrants

Public Warrants and Private Warrants – In connection with the Closing, on August 15, 2022, the Company assumed a total of 3,752,107 outstanding warrants to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $92.00 per share. Of these warrants, the 1,976,560 Public Warrants were originally issued in Founder’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and 1,775,547 Private Warrants were originally issued in a private placement in connection with the IPO. In accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that the IPO Warrants are not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity. The IPO Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the IPO Warrants. The IPO Warrants became exercisable on September 14, 2022, 30 days after the Closing and no IPO Warrants have been exercised through June 30, 2024. The IPO Warrants will expire five years from the Closing or earlier upon redemption.

The Company may redeem the IPO Warrants:

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.08 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to each IPO Warrant holder and

if and only if, the last reported price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $144.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the IPO Warrant holders.

Rodina Warrant – On September 15, 2023, the Company issued the Rodina Warrant, which granted the holder the right to purchase 498,119 shares of Class A Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.08 per share any time prior to September 15, 2026. In accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, the Company concluded that the Rodina Warrant is not precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity. Accordingly, the Rodina Warrant was recognized at its fair value of $1.7 million in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet upon issuance. The Rodina Warrant has not been exercised and remains outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

Subordinated Term Loan Warrants – Pursuant to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement entered on December 22, 2021 (see Note 6), the Company concurrently entered into warrant agreements and issued the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants under the condition that if the Company did not repay the Subordinated Term Loan on or prior to the original maturity date of December 22, 2022, the lender would receive the right to purchase up to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock worth $2.0 million at the exercise price of $0.08 per share at any time after the original maturity date prior to the earlier of the date principal and interest on all outstanding term loans under this Subordinated Term Loan agreement are repaid, and the tenth anniversary of the issuance date. Additionally, if the Company did not repay the Subordinated Term Loan on or prior to the original maturity date, the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants would be exercisable for additional $0.2 million of Class A Common Stock each additional full calendar month after the maturity date until the Company fully repays the principal and interest in cash (the “Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants”). If the Company repaid the Subordinated Term Loan on or prior to the original maturity date, the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants would automatically terminate and be voided, and no Subordinated Term Loan Warrant would be exercisable.

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants agreements, which increased the number of shares of Class A Common Stock the lender has the right to purchase up to $2.6 million, caused the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants to be immediately exercisable upon execution of the amendment, and increased the value of Class A Common Stock the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants would earn.

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

On June 7, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants agreements, which amended the value of Class A Common Stock the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants earn for the full calendar month starting June 23, 2023 to $0.38 million and such amount to increase by $25,000 each additional full calendar month thereafter until the Company repays the Subordinated Term Loan in full.

The Company determined that the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants required liability classification pursuant to ASC 480. As such, the outstanding Subordinated Term Loan Warrants were recognized as warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, measured at their inception date fair value and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants in amount of $3.7 million were exercised and converted to 1,355,045 shares of Class A Common Stock and reclassified from liability to stockholders’ deficit. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the outstanding Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants in amount of $1.8 million were exercised and converted to 4,606,712 shares of Class A Common Stock in stockholders’ deficit. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the outstanding Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants in amount of $2.9 million were exercised and converted to 6,043,438 shares of Class A Common Stock in stockholders’ deficit. As of June 30, 2024, $0.7 million of the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants were outstanding and recorded in warrant liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In June 2024, one of the holders of the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants notified the Company that it had sold the shares subject to the warrant make-whole term and the make-whole amount in scope of the Make-Whole Agreement. The holder further indicated that a recuperation of the difference between the value of the in-scope warrant issued and sale value of such warrant will be required and the settlement will be paid in cash when the Company becomes private. The Company remeasured the fair value of the derivative to the settlement amount of $1.9 million on the agreement execution date, derecognized the derivative liabilities, and recognized the settlement amount as accrued expense in other current liability as of June 30, 2024. The change of fair value at remeasurement was $0.3 million.

Pursuant to ASC 815, the Company determined that the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants and the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Agreement are derivatives. These derivatives, referred to throughout as the “Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative” and the “Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative”, respectively, are recorded in derivative liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company performed fair value measurements for the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative and the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative, which are described in Note 17. The fair value of the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative and the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative are remeasured at each reporting period.

YA Warrant – On November 30, 2022, the Company issued a pre-funded warrant for a purchase price of $6.0 million which was paid by the Yorkville Investor upon issuance (the “YA Warrant”). The YA Warrant is exercisable into $20.0 million of shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0008 per share any time on or after the earlier of (i) August 30, 2023, and (ii) the date upon which all of the YA Convertible Debentures have been fully repaid by the Company or fully converted into shares of Class A Common Stock. On August 25, 2023 (the “Market Price Set Date”), the YA Convertible Debentures were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock for the full settlements, and the YA Warrant became exercisable at the conversion price of $4.52 per share. The conversion price is to be adjusted to the lowest of (a) the “3-month Reset Price”, which is the average of the daily VWAPs of Class A Common Stock per share during the three consecutive trading days immediately following the 3-month anniversary of the Market Price Set Date, or (b) the “6-month Reset Price”, which is the average of the daily VWAPs of Class A Common Stock per share during the three consecutive trading days immediately following the 6-month anniversary of the Market Price Set Date, in case (a) or (b) is lower than $4.52 per share. The 3-month Reset Price was set at $2.80 per share in November 2023 and the 6-month Reset Price was set at $0.76 per share in February 2024.

The Company initially determined that the YA Warrant required liability classification pursuant to ASC 480 until the 6-month Reset Price was set on February 28, 2024. While the YA Warrant was liability classified, the outstanding YA Warrant was recognized as warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets, measured at its inception date fair value and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company issued 499,975 shares of Class A Common Stock for partial exercise of the YA Warrant. The Company measured the fair value of the YA Warrant as of December 31, 2023 and recognized $18.6 million of warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also determined that the YA Warrant is within the scope of ASC 815-40 where in the event of a purchase offer, tender offer, or exchange offer where holders of 50% or more of the total voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property the holders of the YA Warrant have the option to receive cash equal to the product of $20,000,000 multiplied by the quotient of the number of Warrant shares called for by the Warrant divided by the original number of Warrant Shares underlying the Warrant. The Company determined that a tender offer or exchange event is outside the control of the Company and upon the consummation of a tender offer event it is possible that a change of control of the company will not have occurred. As a result, the warrants could be cash settled upon an event outside the Company’s control and it is possible that less than all or substantially all of the Class A Shares would be eligible to receive cash and the provision that would result in the cash settlement would not lead to a change in control of the Company due to the existence of the Class V shares.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 2,987,639 and 7,092,436 shares of Class A Common Stock for partial exercise of the YA Warrant, respectively. No warrants were exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Advisor Warrant – Pursuant to the YA SPA executed with the Yorkville Investor on November 30, 2022, the Company committed to issue a warrant to an advisor for certain professional services provided in connection with the issuance of the facilities (the “Advisor Warrant”). The Advisor Warrant granted the right to purchase up to 62,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at the exercise price of $0.08 any time prior to November 30, 2025. The Advisor Warrant was issued on January 16, 2023. Prior to the issuance of the Advisor Warrant, pursuant to ASC 480, the Company recorded the related obligation as warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value as of the date the obligation incurred and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations. Upon issuance of the Advisor Warrant on January 16, 2023, the Company remeasured the fair value of the Advisor Warrant and recognized $0.1 million of loss on change in fair value of the Advisor Warrant as a component of other income (expense) on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the remeasured Advisory Warrant was reclassified to stockholders’ deficit on the issuance date. Since the issuance through June 30, 2024, the Advisor Warrant was not exercised.

June 2023 Term Loan Warrants – Pursuant to the June 2023 Term Loan agreement entered into on June 7, 2023 (see Note 6), the Company concurrently entered into warrant agreements and issued the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants, which granted the holders the right to purchase up to 2,121,605 shares of Class A Common Stock (the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants Shares) at the exercise price of $0.08 any time before June 7, 2033. If at any time on or before December 7, 2024, the Company issues additional shares of common stock (excluding any shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock under the Company’s equity incentive plans existing as of the issue date), the number of the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants Shares issuable upon exercise immediately prior to such common stock issuance will be proportionately increased such that the percentage represented by the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants Shares in the Company’s diluted common stock outstanding will remain the same. Additionally, the holders of the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants have the right to purchase up to the pro rata portion of any new common stock issuance by the Company up to $20.0 million in the aggregate, other than any issuance in connection with (i) any grant pursuant to any stock option agreement, employee stock purchase plan, or similar equity-based plan or compensation agreement, (ii) the conversion or exchange of any securities into shares of the Company’s common stock, or the exercise of any option, warrant, or other right to acquire such shares, (iii) any acquisition by the Company of the stock, assets, properties, or business, (iv) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving the Company, or any other transaction or series of transactions resulting in a change of control of the Company and (v) any stock split, stock dividend, or similar recapitalization transaction. The Company determined that the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants did not qualify for equity classification in accordance with ASC 815. As such, the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants were recognized as warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheets, measured at its inception date fair value and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period with changes in fair value being recorded as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants, which extended the period wherein if a dividend or stock split occurred, the number of shares issuable under the warrants are proportionally increase such that the warrant holders are not diluted by the stock dividend or stock split. The amendment extended such period from 18 months to 30 months.

The Company measured the fair value of the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and recognized $0.5 million and $7.9 million of warrant liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively, with the change in fair value of $1.7 million and $7.4 million recognized as a component of other income (expense) on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Since the issuance through June 30, 2024, none of the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants were exercised.

Note 11—Forward Purchase Agreement

On August 4, 2022, the Company and the FPA Sellers entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Transaction”). On November 30, 2022, the Company and the FPA Sellers entered into the FPA Termination Agreement and terminated the Forward Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the FPA Termination Agreement, (i) the Company made a one-time $6.0 million cash payment to the FPA Sellers upon execution of the FPA Termination Agreement and agreed to make a $2.0 million payment to the FPA Sellers, which can be settled in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock at the Company’s sole option, on or around the earlier of (a) May 30, 2024 (the “FPA Lock-Up Date”), and (b) six months following 90% or more of the YA Convertible Debentures is repaid or converted into shares of Class A Common Stock (the “FPA Earlier Lock-Up Date”), (ii) the FPA Sellers forfeited and returned to the Company 277,765 shares of Class A Common Stock which the Company subsequently canceled, and further agreed not to transfer any of 267,606 shares of Class A Common Stock the FPA Sellers retained until the earlier of (a) the FPA Lock-Up Date, and (b) the FPA Earlier Lock-Up Date. As more than 90% of the YA Convertible Debentures were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on August 25, 2023, the FPA Earlier Lock-Up Date was set as February 25, 2024. The value of 277,765 shares of Class A Common Stock returned by the FPA Seller and subsequently canceled by the Company was $4.6 million as of the FPA Termination Agreement execution date, which was recognized in common stock – Class A and accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. The $2.0 million obligation (the “FPA Settlement Liability”) was included in accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and settled by issuance of 1,656,727 shares of Class A Common Stock in February 2024 and $0.8 million cash payment made by the Company in March 2024. No other activities occurred during the three months and six months ended on June 30, 2024.

Note 12—Redeemable Convertible Preferred Class A Stock

On May 7, 2024 (the “Original Issue Date”), in conjunction to the sale of SaaS business (see Note 4), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement” or “SPA”) with MBI Holdings, LP (the “Buyer”), an affiliate of Rodina Capital (“Rodina”), which is an affiliate of Mr. Andres Chico and Mr. Jose Miguel Enrich. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer 20,000 shares of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, at $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $20 million. After the issuance of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, the Rodina entities and affiliates effectively had over 65% ownership of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock include the following rights:

Dividends – The holders of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock are entitled to participate in all dividends declared on the common stock on an as-converted basis and are also entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 8% per annum, which will increase by 1% per annum starting on the second anniversary of the Original Issue Date and up to a maximum 11% per annum. The dividend rate is subject to increase under certain specified circumstances. The dividend will be accrued daily from the Original Issue Date, whether or not declared. In the event the dividends are not declared and paid, the dividends otherwise payable will continue to accrue daily and will be compounded quarterly. The cumulated dividend for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.2 million.

Liquidation – In the event of any liquidation event, the holders Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders. The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, ranks pari passu with any parity securities, and ranks junior to secured and unsecured indebtedness and other senior class of stocks. The Preferred Stock has a Liquidation Preference equal to the greater of (i) the initial stated value of $1,000, increased by compound dividend and accrued but unpaid dividends per share (the “Accumulated Stated Value”), and (ii) the amount per share of Preferred Stock that a holder would have received if such holder, immediately prior to such liquidation event, converted such share into Common Stock. The aggregate liquidation preference amount was $20.2 million based on the Accumulated Stated Value at June 30, 2024.

If the remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders were insufficient, the holders of the Preferred Stock will receive distributions ratably among the holders of Preferred Stock and common stock in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts.

Voting Rights – The holders of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a single class with the holders of the Common Stock, with a vote equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock could be converted.

Conversion – The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into a number of shares of Common Stock based on a conversion rate set in accordance with the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is calculated by dividing (i) the sum of (A) the Accumulated Stated Value, plus (B) compounded dividends (if such dividends have not yet been added to the Accumulated Stated Value) plus (C) accrued and unpaid dividends for the most recent period by (ii) the Conversion Price(initially $0.35 per share and is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments) in effect immediately prior to the conversion..

Anti-Dilution Adjustments – The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is subject to anti-dilution adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including issuance of subdivisions or combination of common stock, stock dividends or distributions to holders of common stock, distribution of certain rights, options or warrants to holders of common stock, distribution of certain equity securities, indebtedness, other securities, assets or properties, tender offer, exchange offer, and the occurrence of reorganization events, subject to limitations set forth in the Certificate of Designations.

Redemption – The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time after the latest maturity date (the first date on which the Company satisfies its obligation outlined in the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock that does not cause an event of default under existing debt agreements) at the option of the holders into a number of shares of common stock based on a Redemption Price set in accordance with the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock. The Redemption Price is calculated the greatest of (i) the Accumulated Stated Value, (ii) the product of (A) the number of shares of common stock such Preferred Stock is convertible into at the Conversion Price immediately prior to the redemption multiplied by (B) the greater of (x) the current market price of the Company’s stock on the trading day prior to the redemption date and (y) the last reported sale price of the Company’s stock on the trading day prior to the redemption date, and (iii) the product of 2 multiplied by the initial stated value of $1,000. The aggregate redemption amount was $20.2 million based on the Accumulated Stated Value at June 30, 2024.

The Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the Company into a number of shares of common stock based on a Redemption Price upon a change of control that is outside of the Company’s control. All of the Preferred Stock will be redeemed into a number of shares of common stock based on the Liquidation Preference upon the occurrence of an of an insolvency event.

Registration Rights – On May 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”) with the holders of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, pursuant to which, among other things, and on the terms and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement registering the sale or distribution of shares of common stock held by any holder, including any shares of common stock acquired by any holder pursuant to the conversion of the Preferred Stock, and any other securities upon the exercise of any option, warrant or right or the conversion or exchange of any convertible or exchangeable securities (the “Registrable Securities”). In addition, pursuant to the RRA, the holders have the right to require the Company, subject to certain limitations, to effect a sale of any or all of their Registrable Securities by means of shelf registration and piggyback registration.

The total cash proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and the sale of SaaS business were allocated to the two transactions based on the relative fair value of these transactions. Therefore, the Company recorded the issuance of the Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at $15.7 million, net of issuance costs of $0.4 million on the issuance date of May 7, 2024. The redeemable convertible preferred stock is classified outside of permanent equity as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. The Company has not adjusted the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred class A stock since it was not probable of becoming redeemable at June 30, 2024. Subsequent adjustments to the carrying values will be made only when it becomes probable that such redemption will occur.

Note 13—Cantor Sales Agreement

On September 5, 2023, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Cantor Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time through Cantor, shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds up to $50.0 million. Pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell shares of Class A Common Stock in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares of Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Sales Agreement. Cantor will act as sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on the Company’s behalf all of the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be sold by the Company. Under the terms of the Cantor Sales Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Cantor a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from any shares of Class A Common Stock sold pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement. The Cantor Sales Agreement will remain in effect until the aggregate gross proceeds of the Company’s sales of shares of Class A Common Stock reach $50.0 million in total unless early terminated under the terms of the Cantor Sales Agreement. The Company did not sell any shares of Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Sales Agreement through June 30, 2024.

Note 14—Equity-based compensation

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to the 2022 Plans (as defined below).

The 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), which became effective on August 15, 2022 in connection with the Closing, provides for the grant to certain employees, officers, non-employee directors and other services providers of options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, restricted stock and other stock-based awards, any of which may be performance-based, and for incentive bonuses, which may be paid in cash, Common Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Under the 2022 Plan, 3,982,409 shares of Class A Common Stock were authorized to be issued. Upon approval by the Company’s board of directors, additional 2,055,769 shares of Class A Common Stock became available for issuance on January 1, 2023 under the 2022 Plan as a result of the plan’s evergreen provision.

The following represents a summary of the Company’s RSU activity and related information during the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Schedule of RSUs activity
	Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested – December 31, 2023		518,625		$	10.02

Note 15—Earnings (Loss) per share

Basic net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Diluted net loss per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares.

The computation of net loss per share attributable to Rubicon Technologies, Inc. and weighted-average shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are as follows (amounts in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

The Company effected a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of voting common stock at a ratio of one-for-eight (1:8) on September 29, 2023. Pursuant to the reverse stock split, every eight shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares or the par value per share of the common stock. Therefore, the weighted average share of Class A Common Stock outstanding – basic and diluted, and loss per share attributable for Class A Common Stock for continuing operations and discontinued operations have been retroactively adjusted.

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

IPO Warrants, Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants, Advisor Warrant, June 2023 Term Loan Warrants, YA Warrant and Rodina Warrant.

Earn-Out Interests.

RSUs and DSUs.

Exchangeable Class V Common Stock.

Potential settlements in Class A Common Stock of the Insider Convertible Debentures, the Third Party Convertible Debentures, the NZ Superfund Convertible Debentures, the June 2023 Term Loan, the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Agreement and portion of fees for the PIPE Software Services Subscription (as defined in Note 18).

Potential conversion of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and contract assets and liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities and are excluded from the fair value table above.

Warrant liabilities – The outstanding warrants which were classified as warrant liabilities, as of June 30, 2024, were the YA Warrant and the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants. The June 2023 Term Loan Warrants were classified as level 2. The YA warrant liabilities were classified to level 3 as of June 30, 2024 and level 2 as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The sole underlying asset of the outstanding warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2024 was Class A Common Stock, which is an observable input, however the value of the warrants themselves were not directly or indirectly observable. The fair value of the warrant liabilities for the June 2023 Term Loan Warrants were determined based on price of the underlying share and the terms of each warrant, specifically whether each warrant is exercisable for a fixed number of shares of Class A Common Stock, hence the value of the total shares a warrant is exercisable for is variable, or a fixed value of shares of Class A Common Stock thus the number of the total shares a warrant is exercisable for is variable. The exercise prices of the liability-classified warrants which were outstanding as of June 30, 2024 were minimal ($0.08 per Class A Common Stock share) and did not have significant impact to the fair value measurements of these warrants. The fair value of the YA Warrant liability was determined using the redemption value of the warrant upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Warrant Agreement. See Note 10 for further information regarding the warrant liabilities.

Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative – The Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative’s fair value was estimated using a discounted cashflow/expected present value method. The value the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants earn was $0.35 million for each additional full calendar month after March 22, 2023 through June 22, 2023, and starting June 23, 2023, the value the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants earn increases by $25,000 for each additional full calendar month thereafter until the Company repays the Subordinated Term Loan in full. The key assumption utilized was the probability of the Subordinated Term Loan remaining unpaid through its maturity, which the Company determined to be approximately 75% as of March 22, 2023, which was the execution date of the second amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan, and approximately 100% as of June 30, 2024. As June 30, 2024, the Company applied a discount rate of 15.0% to calculate the present value of the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative. The Company measured and recognized fair value for the Additional Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Derivative at the end of each reporting period in derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with the respective fair value adjustment recorded in loss on change in fair value of derivatives as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative – The Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative’s fair value was estimated using Black Scholes Merton model. The value the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Agreement is primarily based on the make-whole provision amount between (a) the closing share price of Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately prior to the lender’s exercise of the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants on December 12, 2022 multiplied by the number of the December 2022 Warrant Shares and (b) the closing share price of Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately prior to the lender’s sale of the December 2022 Warrant Shares multiplied by the number of the December 2022 Warrant Shares sold by the lender.

The following table provides quantitative information of the key assumptions utilized in the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative fair value measurements as of measurement dates:


	As of			As of
	June 30,			December 31,
	2024			2023
Price of Class A Common Stock	$	0.12		$	1.85
Strike Price of Class A Common Stock	$	18.96		$	18.96
Risk-free interest rate		4.50	%		3.90	%
Expected volatility		95.0	%		85.0	%
Expiration Date		December 12, 2027			December 12, 2027

The Company measured and recognized fair value for the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Derivative at the end of each reporting period in derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with the respective fair value adjustment recorded in loss on change in fair value of derivatives as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 17—Commitments and contingencies

Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is or may be involved in various legal or regulatory proceedings, claims or purported class actions related to alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour and other claims.

On March 22, 2024, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Cass Information Systems, Inc. (“Cass”) in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri (Cass Information Systems, Inc. v. Rubicon Technologies, Inc.) alleging the Company’s nonpayment of $14.3 million in total of reimbursements of vendor invoices prepaid by Cass and certain fees for Cass’ services. The Company subsequently filed a response by disputing Cass’ allegations.

The Company has received demand letters from four former employees in connection with incentive equity compensation that these individuals believe were due to them pursuant to their employment agreement. The Company has subsequently reached settlement agreements with these four former employees. The Company paid $0.6 million and $2.2 million to these employees for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company further received a demand letter from a current employee for incentive equity compensation that the employee believes is due pursuant to an employment agreement with the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the demand letter and working to resolve the issue.

On August 15, 2024, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) in New York State Supreme Court, New York Count (Manhattan) (Jefferies LLC v. Rubicon Technologies, Inc.). Jefferies’ complaint alleges that the Company has failed to pay Jefferies a deferred discount fee of approximately $7,000,000 in breach of an Underwriting Agreement dated October 14, 2021, as amended, between Jefferies and the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the claim.

The Company makes a provision for liabilities relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. The outcomes of legal proceedings and other contingencies are, however, inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. At this time, the Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount or range of possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, including losses that could arise as a result of application of non-monetary remedies, with respect to the contingencies it faces, and the Company’s estimates may not prove to be accurate.

In management’s opinion, resolution of all current matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, cash flows or balance sheets. However, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute or other contingency, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company’s current or future results of operations or cash flows, or both.

Management Rollover Settlement

As further described in Note 7, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company settled with certain Rubicon Management Rollover Holders a portion of the accrued management rollover consideration and the Company agreed to make quarterly cash payments to these Rubicon Management Rollover Holders through December 31, 2026, of which $1.9 million is coming due in the next 12 months of June 30, 2024 and $2.6 million thereafter.

Note 18—Related party transactions

Recent Developments

Rodina Sponsor Capital Contribution Agreement

On January 24, 2024, we entered into a sponsor capital contribution agreement with an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich. See “Contractual Obligations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Other Financing Arrangements” below.

Sale of Business

As disclosed in Note 4 – Discontinued Operations and Business Disposition to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, on May 7, 2024, we completed the sale of our SaaS Business to an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich, for a purchase price of $65.9 million. In connection with the Sale, the Company recognized a gain of $59.7 million on the sale of SaaS Business during the period ended June 30,2024 presented within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 4 for additional information. The agreement also provides a potential earn-out payment of $12.5 million to us if the SaaS Business sales achieve a certain annual recurring revenue target on or prior to December 31, 2024. The APA also provides a contingent payment of $2.5 million from the Buyer if the shareholder approval of a “Take-private Transaction” with the Buyer or the Buyer’s affiliates occurs prior to December 31, 2024. In order for the Company to receive the contingent payment of $2.5 million, a business combination, a merger, or other change of control must occur between the Buyer or the Buyer’s Affiliates or the Buyer’s Parent resulting in a delisting and deregistration of the Company’s stock with the SEC. The potential earn-out payment $12.5 million will be decreased by the amount of contingent payment of $2.5 million received from the “Take-private Transaction”.

We entered into a Transition Service Agreement (“TSA”) with the Buyer of the SaaS Business on May 7, 2024 to provide certain services for a six-months of period with options to be extended by the Buyer. Those services include Human resources, such as payroll and benefits plan; finance and accounting functions, such as, general executive of finance, accounting, and tax, collection, books and records, accounts receivable, customer invoicing/billing and contracting; software and IT systems, and services; hosting services; customer and third party contract transition; end user and customer help desk; certain insurance coverage and policies; office services including using offices in certain locations; and marketing and advertisements. We charge a fee for some of the services, and total service fee amount for each service shall not exceed the actual costs to provide such service, and the aggregate service fees shall not exceed $1,821,168 under this TSA. We are also reimbursed for payroll expenses paid for employees of the SaaS Business and should remit any cash receipts from accounts receivable collections from May 7, 2024 on behalf of the SaaS business to the Buyer.

Rodina Security Purchase Agreement

On May 7, 2024, and in conjunction to the sale of the SaaS Business, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Rodina SPA”) with an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich. Pursuant to the Rodina SPA, we agreed to issue and sell 20,000 shares of Rubicon’s Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Other Financing Arrangements” below.

Amendment to the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility

On May 7, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. Pursuant to the amendment, (i) the lender consented to the SaaS Business sale and (ii) we agreed to make a partial prepayment of $11.4 million upon close of the SaaS Business sale, which was completed on May 7, 2024. Concurrently, we executed a side letter with the lender of the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which included additional non-financial covenants for certain time-based milestones in relation to potential transactions the Company may enter into in future periods, including an agreement of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s equity interests and assets or a merger. The side letter required us to initiate a sale process within 300 days of the completion of the sale of SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. The letter required two milestones of the sale process, (i) within four-months of May 7, 2024, we should enter into a binding letter of intent to consummate the sale of the Company and (ii) within ten-months of May 7, 2024, we should consummate the sale of the Company and repay the outstanding balance of the debts in full. If any of the milestones are not met and such failure is not cured by us in accordance with such terms, the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility will become due in full within ten months of May 7, 2024. The prepayment of $11.4 million did not result a change in the borrowing capacity of June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt” below.

Amendment to the June 2023 Term Loan

On May 7, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the June 2023 Term Loan agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, (i) the lender consented to the SaaS Business sale and (ii) we agreed to make a partial prepayment of $45.6 million, including $43.4 million of the principal and $2.2 million of the accrued exit fee, upon close of the SaaS Business sale, which was completed on May 7, 2024. On May 15, 2024, we executed a side letter with one of the three lenders of the June 2023 Term Loan, and interest rate (including cash interest and paid-in-kind interest) was capped at 14%. The side letter also included additional non-financial covenants for certain time-based milestones in relation to potential transactions we may enter into in future periods, including an agreement of a sale of all or substantially all of our equity interests and assets or a merger. The side letter required us to initiate a sale process within 300 days of the completion of the sale of SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. The letter required two milestones of the sale process, (i) within four-months of May 7, 2024, we should enter into a binding letter of intent to consummate the sale of the Company and (ii) within ten-months of May 7, 2024, we should consummate the sale of the Company and repay the outstanding balance of the debts in full. If any of the milestones are not met and such failure is not cured by us in accordance with such terms, the June 2023 Term Loan will become due in full within ten months of May 7, 2024. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt” below.

Amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan

On May 7, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, (i) the lender consented to the SaaS Business sale, which was completed on May 7, 2024. Concurrently, we executed a side letter with the lender of the Subordinated Term Loan, which included additional non-financial covenants for certain time-based milestones in relation to potential transactions we may enter into in future periods, including an agreement of a sale of all or substantially all of our equity interest and assets or a merger. The side letter required us to initiate a sale process within 300 days of the completion of the sale of SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. The letter required two milestones of the sale process, (i) within four-months of May 7, 2024, we should enter into a binding letter of intent to consummate the sale of the Company and (ii) within ten-months of May 7, 2024, we should consummate the sale of the Company and repay the outstanding balance of the debts in full. If any of the milestones are not met and such failure is not cured by us in accordance with such terms, the Subordinated Term Loan will become due in full within ten months of May 7, 2024. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt” below.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Financial results from our operations and the growth and future success of our business are dependent upon many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for us, they also pose challenges that we must successfully address to sustain and grow our business. See also “—Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion of key business and non-GAAP metrics that we use to help manage and evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.

Industry trends and customers preference

The waste and recycling industry is highly regulated and complex, and public policy is increasingly focused on improving diversion from landfills and reducing emissions. Current policies tend to encourage and reward reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, and many major cities in the United States have promulgated climate action plans committing to achieve emissions reductions. Additionally, the waste generators’ awareness of benefits achieved by improved diversion from landfills has been increasing, which we believe is and will continue to drive preference for recycling over landfills. We view these trends as an opportunity to accelerate the growth of our business, including our revenue and profitability.

Commodity nature of our recycling program

Through our recycling program, we market a variety of materials, including fibers such as old corrugated cardboard (“OCC”), old newsprint (“ONP”), aluminum, glass, pallets and other materials. Currently, OCC is the most significant material in our recycling program. Our recyclable commodity revenue is influenced by fluctuations in prices of the recyclable commodities. Periods of increasing prices generally provide the opportunity for higher revenue while periods of declining prices may result in declines in sales. For the reporting periods, the trend of the recyclable commodity prices was generally upward and contributed to higher recyclable commodity revenue in recent periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, our recyclable commodity revenue was $16.4 million and $13.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, our recyclable commodity revenue was $32.2 million and $28.7 million, respectively.

We may use a number of strategies to mitigate impacts from recyclable commodity price fluctuations, including, entering into purchase contracts indexed to the recyclable commodity price such that we mitigate the variability in cash flows generated from the sales of recycled materials at floating prices. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. As of June 30, 2024, we were not a party to any recyclable commodity hedging agreements.

Investment in products

We are actively investing in our business to support future growth and we expect this investment to continue. We have built a leading cloud-based digital marketplace that provides a transformational customer experience through an easy-to-use interface, where customers can manage services, track invoices, and view environmental outcomes. We believe that our platform is highly differentiated, and we expect to continue to invest in product development to further develop and enhance our platform’s features and functionality to further extend the adoption of our platform. While we continue to invest in product development, we are focusing on operational efficiencies and cost reduction measures, such as rationalizing redundancies across the organization. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, our product development cost was $5.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, our product development cost was $12.8 million and $15.3 million, respectively. We expect product development costs to decrease as a percentage of total revenues in the next 12 months.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate our revenue from waste removal, waste management and consultation services, platform subscriptions, and the sale of recyclable commodities. As discussed previously, we sold our SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. Therefore, platform subscriptions and related services have been discontinued as of May 7, 2024.

Service revenue:

Service revenues are comprised of waste removal and consultation services provided to customers for waste, recycling and logistics solutions. Services include planning, consolidation of billing and administration, cost savings analyses, vendor procurement and performance management, and a suite of solutions providing insights into the customers’ waste streams.

Recyclable commodity revenue:

We recognize recyclable commodity revenue through the sale of old corrugated cardboard (“OCC”), old newsprint (ONP), aluminum, glass, pallets and other recyclable materials.

Cost of revenue, exclusive of amortization and depreciation

Cost of service revenues primarily consists of expenses related to delivering our service and providing support, including third-party hauler costs, costs of data center capacity, certain fees paid to various third parties for the use of their technology, services and data, and employee-related costs such as salaries and benefits. Cost of recyclable commodity revenues is comprised of expenses related to purchases of recyclable materials and any associated transportation fees.

As part of our services, we work with our customers to locate opportunities to reduce waste volume and service frequency with the intention to reduce costs for the customers which in turn leads to reduced costs for us. We are typically entitled to bill for a portion of such savings the customers realize as a result of our services in accordance with the terms of our customer contracts.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, including salaries, bonuses, benefits and other incentives to our sales and marketing personnel, advertising expenses, digital marketing expenses, sales commissions and other promotional expenditures.

Product development

Product development expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, including salaries, bonuses and other benefits to our product development team, contract labor expenses and fees for software licenses, consulting, legal, and other services.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits related costs, including equity-based compensation expense for our general corporate functions. General and administrative costs also consist of third-party professional service fees for external legal, accounting, and other consulting services, insurance charges, hosting fees and overhead costs.

We expect that general and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of total revenues over the next several years as a result of our increased focus on operational efficiencies, planned cost reduction measures across the organization and the sale of our SaaS Business. We are working to eliminate redundancies across the organization, which were a byproduct of our growth and expansion phase the past few years.

Gain on settlement of incentive compensation

Gain on settlement of incentive compensation consists of a gain from settlements of the management rollover bonuses in connection with the Mergers.

Amortization and depreciation

Amortization and depreciation consist of depreciation and amortization expenses associated with our property and equipment, acquired intangible assets and customer acquisition costs.

Interest expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our outstanding debt, including accretion of debt issuance costs.

Service revenue decreased by $11.3 million, or 7.2%, primarily due to the loss of revenue from cancelled customer contracts in the amount of $24.9 million, which was partially offset by increased services in the amount of $7.8 million, additional revenue from new customers and price increases of $12.0 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in volumes of $6.2 million.

Revenue from sales of recyclable commodities increased by $2.5 million, or 17.9%, primarily due to a $5.1 million increase driven by higher sales prices of recyclable commodities, especially in OCC, an increase in volume of $1.1 million, and partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease related to cancelled customers.

Total revenue from discontinued operations decreased by $1.5 million to $1.1 million from $2.6 million, or 58.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to the sale of the SaaS business on May 7, 2024.

Total cost of revenue from continuing operations decreased by $2.8 million, or 1.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of service revenue decreased by $5.7 million, or 3.8%, primarily due to a $22.8 million decrease associated with cancelled customer contracts, partially offset by increases of approx. $9.4 million from new customers, $5.1 million due to price increases, 2.2 million from service expansions and volume increases, and $0.4 million in customer operations consisting of an increase in bonus and contract labor and offset by a decrease in wages and employee administrative costs.

Cost of recyclable commodity revenue increased by $2.9 million, or 24.4%, primarily due to a $5.2 million increase in the cost of recyclable commodities sold, mainly driven by increase in the price of OCC, and increase of $0.5 million due to volume increases, and partially offset by a decrease of $2.8 million related to cancelled customers.

Total cost of revenue from discontinued operations decreased by $0.5 million to $0.4 million from $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to the sale of the SaaS business on May 7, 2024.

Product development expenses from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $0.4 million. The decrease is due to the lower product development expenses in the second quarter attributable to the sale of the business on May 7, 2024.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses from continuing operations decreased by $3.0 million, or 22.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by a lower stock-based compensation of $1.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million in salaries and wages due to lower headcount, a decrease of $0.8 in bad debt reserve due to certain write-offs, a decrease of $0.7 million in software licenses, a decrease of $0.7 million in outside services, and offset by an increase of $1.5 million in professional fees.

General and administrative expenses from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and related to the sale of SaaS business on May 7, 2024, were $0.1 million and relatively unchanged compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $0.2 million.

Other income (expense)

Other expense increased by $5.4 million, or 54.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a $6.4 million decrease in gain on settlements in connection with the Mergers in 2023, which did not repeat in 2024, a $2.0 million increase to the loss on extinguishment of debt obligations, a $0.2 million increase in interest expenses, a $0.4 million decrease in gain or loss on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, a $0.4 million decrease in the gain or loss on change in fair value of derivatives, and offset by a $4.0 million increase in gain or loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Net gain on sale of discontinued operations

A gain of $59.4 million was recognized from the sale of the SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. As disclosed in Note 4 – Discontinued Operations and Business Disposition to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, on May 7, 2024, we completed the sale of our SaaS Business to an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich, from which we recognized a gain of $59.7 million during the period ended June 30,2024 presented within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue

Total revenue decreased by $24.8 million, or 7.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Service revenue decreased by $28.4 million, or 8.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to cancelled customer contracts in the amount of $61.4 million which was partially offset by an increase from expanded book of business accounts and increase in services in the amount of $17.7 million and $16.7 million from new customers and price increases, the decrease included $1.4 million from decrease in volumes

Revenues from sales of recyclable commodities increased by $3.5 million, or 12.5%, primarily due to a $10.0 million increase driven by the sales prices for recyclable commodities, especially in OCC. The increase was partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease related to cancelled customers.

Total revenue from discontinued operations decreased by $0.6 million to $4.1 million from $4.7 million, or 12.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is due to the sale of the SaaS business during the first half of the quarter, in May 2024.

Cost of revenue, exclusive of amortization and depreciation

Total cost of revenue decreased by $19.1 million, or 5.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of service revenue decreased by $22.9 million, or 7.5%, primarily due to $56.9 million decrease related to customer cancellations, and partially offset by $12.3 million from new customers, $9.1 million from price increases, and $12.6 million from service expansions and volume increases

Cost of recyclable commodity revenue increased by $3.8 million or 15.1%, primarily due to a $10.1 million increase in OCC prices, and offset by a $6.3 decrease from customer cancellations.

Total cost of revenue from discontinued operations was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and relatively unchanged compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $0.4 million or 8.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by a $0.4 decrease in marketing content.

Sales and marketing expenses from discontinued operations increased by $0.5 million to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to larger spending on marketing and demand generation activities during the first quarter.

Product development

Product development expenses decreased by $2.1 million, or 15.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower payroll and workforce related costs by $1.2 million, lower product development support costs by $0.6 million, and a decrease in employee administrative costs due to lower headcount in the amount of $0.3.

We expect the product development cost to decrease as a percentage of total revenues over the next 12 months. A significant component of the product development is expected to be a software services subscription cost with a certain PIPE Investor, which provides advanced data analytics capabilities to enhance the data security, visibility, models, and algorithms of our digital platform. See “—Contractual Obligations” below for further information regarding the software services subscription.

Product development expenses from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $0.3 million. The decrease is due to the lower product development expenses in the second quarter attributable to the sale of the SaaS business, in May 2024.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased by $8.1 million, or 25.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is driven by the following decreases: $1.8 million decrease in salaries and wages, $2.8 million decrease in severance pay, a $1.1 million decrease in outside services, a $0.9 million decrease in software license as a result of cost saving initiatives, a $0.9 decrease in employee administrative costs, and a $0.5 million decrease in rent expense and insurance.

Gain on settlement of incentive compensation

The gain on settlement of incentive compensation decreased by $18.6 million or 100% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was attributable to replacing the $26.8 million of the accrued management rollover consideration with RSU awards which were valued at $8.2 million for the period ended March 31, 2023, which was an event that did not repeat in 2024.

Amortization and depreciation

Amortization and depreciation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $0.3 million or 14%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in depreciation expense due to fewer assets to be depreciated after the termination of our Kentucky office lease and the downsizing of our Atlanta office lease during the second half of 2023.

Amortization and depreciation expenses from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, related to the sale of the SaaS business in May 2024, were $0.4 million, and relatively unchanged compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, which were $0.5 million.

Other income (expense)

Other expenses increased by $1.9 million or 11.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a $3.8 million increase in interest expense, added to a $7.0 million decrease in gain on settlements in connection with the Mergers as this was a 2023 event that did not repeat in 2024, and a $5.1 million decrease in gain or loss on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, and offset by a $14.0 million increase in gain or loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities

Net gain on sale of discontinued operations

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, a gain of $59.7 million was recognized from the sale of the SaaS Business on May 7, 2024. As disclosed in Note 4 – Discontinued Operations and Business Disposition to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, on May 7, 2024, we completed the sale of our SaaS Business to an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich, from which we recognized a gain of $59.7 million during the period ended June 30,2024 presented within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 4 for additional information.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were relatively unchanged compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, for the Company’s continuing operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, a $1.9 million of income tax expense from discontinued operations was recorded due to the sale of the SaaS business on May 7, 2024. See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations and Business Disposition to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information related to discontinued operations and the related sale.

Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key business and non-GAAP metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures presented below include the results from both the continuing and discontinued operations. See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations and Business Disposition, to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for the further information regarding the discontinued operations.

Revenue net retention

We believe our ability to retain customers is an indicator of the stability of our revenue base and the long-term value of our customer relationships. We calculate revenue net retention as a year-over-year comparison that measures the percentage of revenue recognized in the current quarter from customers retained from the corresponding quarter in the prior year. We believe that our revenue net retention rate is an important metric to measure overall client satisfaction and the general quality of our service offerings as it is a composition of revenue expansion or contraction within our customer accounts.

Our revenue net retention rate was 88.0% and 104.9% as of June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin

Adjusted gross profit is a non-GAAP financial measure which is calculated by adding back amortization and depreciation for revenue generating activities and platform support costs to GAAP gross profit, the most comparable GAAP measurement. Adjusted gross profit margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by total GAAP revenue.

We believe adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are important measures and useful to investors because they show the progress in scaling our digital platform by quantifying the markup and margin, we charge our customers that are incremental to our marketplace vendor costs. These measures demonstrate this progress because changes in these measures are driven primarily by our ability to optimize services for our customers, improve our hauling and recycling partners’ efficiency and achieve economies of scale on both sides of the marketplace. Our management team uses these non-GAAP measures as one of the means to evaluate the profitability of our customer accounts, exclusive of certain costs that are generally fixed in nature, and to assess how successful we are in achieving our pricing strategies. However, it is important to note that other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate and use these measures differently or not at all, which may reduce their usefulness as a comparative measure. Further, these measures should not be read in isolation from or without reference to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table shows the calculation of GAAP gross profit and a reconciliation of (i) GAAP gross profit to non-GAAP adjusted gross profit and GAAP gross profit margin to non-GAAP adjusted gross profit margin, (ii) amortization and depreciation for revenue generating activities to total amortization and depreciation and (iii) platform support costs to total cost of revenue (exclusive of amortization and depreciation) for each of the periods presented:

(2)	We define marketplace vendor costs as direct costs charged by our hauling and recycling partners for services procured through our digital marketplace.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and GAAP net loss is its most comparable GAAP measurement. We define adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude interest expense and income, income tax expense and benefit, amortization and depreciation, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt obligations, equity-based compensation, gain or loss on change in fair value of warrant liabilities, gain or loss on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, gain or loss on change in fair value of derivatives, executive severance charges, gain or loss on settlement of the management rollover bonuses, gain or loss on service fee settlements in connection with the Mergers, other non-operating income and expenses, and unique non-recurring income and expenses.

We have included adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. Further, we believe it is helpful in highlighting trends in our operating results because it allows for more consistent comparisons of financial performance between periods by excluding gains and losses that are non-operational in nature or outside the control of management, as well as items that may differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and capital investments. It is also often used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating and comparing our results to other companies within our industry. Accordingly, we believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of net loss or our other results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

●

adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;

●

adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

●

adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

●

although amortization and depreciation are non-cash charges, the assets being amortized and depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

●

adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items for which we may make adjustments in historical periods; and

●

other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows in the short- and long-term to meet the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital needs, debt service, acquisitions and investments, and other commitments and contractual obligations. We consider liquidity in terms of cash flows from operations and other sources, and their sufficiency to fund our operating and investing activities.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been borrowings under our credit facilities, proceeds from the issuance of equity and warrant exercises and cash generated by operating activities. Our primary cash needs are for day-to-day operations, to fund working capital requirements, to fund our growth strategy, and to service our debt obligations.

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding operations and servicing debts. Our long-term future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including revenue growth rate, achieving higher profitability on our revenue contracts, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support investments, including research and development efforts and the continuing market adoption of our products.

In each fiscal year since the Company’s inception, we have incurred losses from operations and generated negative cash flows from operating activities. We also have negative working capital and stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2024. Our total current liabilities as of June 30, 2024, were $247.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we have net income attributable to the gain from the sale of the SaaS business which occurred in May 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totalled $8.2 million, accounts receivable totalled $54.8 million and unbilled accounts receivable totalled $54.9 million. Availability under our June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, which provided the ability to borrow up to $90.0 million, was $0.2 million. The September 2023 Rodina Letter of Credit provides an additional $15.0 million borrowing base collateral under the facility. Our outstanding indebtedness includes the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, the June 2023 Term Loan, the Subordinated Term Loan and the convertible debentures, under which the principal of $52.2 million, $44.3 million, $21.1 million and $20.7 million, respectively, were outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell up to $50.0 million of shares of Class A Common Stock through Cantor. However, it is uncertain how quickly Cantor will be able to sell such shares of Class A Common Stock at the price that we request to deliver additional liquidity to the Company.

We currently project that we will not have sufficient cash on hand or available liquidity under existing arrangements to meet our projected liquidity needs for the next 12 months. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

To address liquidity needs, we have executed various initiatives to modify our operations to reduce spending and improve cash flow. Initiatives we have undertaken in recent periods include (i) increased focus on operational efficiencies and cost reduction measures, (ii) eliminating redundancies that have been the byproduct of our recent growth and expansion, (iii) evaluating our portfolio and less profitable accounts to better ensure we are deploying resources efficiently, and (iv) exercising strict capital discipline for future investments, such as requiring investments to meet minimum hurdle rates. Additionally, on May 7, 2024, we have completed the sale of certain assets and entered into the Rodina SPA which provided the Company with additional cash, a portion of which were used to make partial payments to the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility and the June 2023 Term Loan.

We believe that additional capital will be needed to provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company’s known liquidity needs for the next 12 months given that the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature and the borrowings under the facility will become due and payable on the maturity date. However, while we believe the Company will be able to obtain additional capital through debt and equity financing, including sales of Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Sales Agreement, to the extent necessary, we have obtained no firm commitment from current or prospective investors to date and no assurance can be provided that such additional financing will be obtained at the level acceptable to the Company within the necessary timeframe, if at all. Failure to secure sufficient additional funding in a timely manner or at all will impact our liquidity, including its ability to service its debt and other liabilities, and may require us to modify, delay, or abandon some of our planned future expansion or development, or to otherwise enact additional operating cost reductions available to management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and could force us to limit its business activities or discontinue its operations entirely.

If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, including under the Cantor Sales Agreement, dilution to stockholders will occur and may be substantial. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations and increase the cost of capital due to interest payment requirements. The capital markets have been very difficult and expensive to access in recent periods, which could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. It is possible that we will not enter into all of financing contemplated and that no additional funding will be available at all in the capital markets. In addition, recent and any future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, will impact the cost and availability of debt financing.

See “Contractual Obligations” below for a discussion of other obligations with respect to which we will be required to make significant future payments or under which we have significant financial contractual obligations.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2024			2023
	(in thousands)
Cash activities for continuing operations:
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(24,877	)	$	(38,192	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(251	)		(231	)
Net cash (used) in or provided by financing activities		(44,959	)		51,374
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(70,087	)	$	12,951

Cash activities for discontinued operations:
Net cash from operating activities	$	(2,444	)	$	883
Net cash provided by (used) in investing activities		61,989			(397	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	59,545		$	486

Cash flows used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities for continuing operations decreased by $13.3 million to $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was driven by:

	●	an $18.5 million increase in non-cash gains and losses, primarily attributable to a $14.0 million net increase from gain/loss on change in fair value of warrants, and a $10.0 million favourable decrease in equity based compensation, partially offset by $5.2 million net decrease in gain on change in fair value of earn-out liabilities, $26.8 million decrease in settlement of accrued incentive compensation, $3.3 million increase in service fees settled in common stock, a $7.0 million net decrease in gain on service fee settlement in connection with the Mergers, and a $0.1 million decrease in depreciation;

	●	a $10.1 million favorable increase attributable to changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily driven by an increase in account receivable by $12.3 million, an increase in contract assets by $17.8 million, and by an increase in operating lease liabilities of $1.5 million, partially offset by an unfavorable increase in prepaid expenses by $5.9 million, other current assets by $0.4 million increase, an accrued expenses increase by $12.9 million, contract liabilities of $0.5 million, and accounts payable by $1.8 million; and

	●	a $41.6 million increase due to change from a $9.4 million net income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to a $32.3 million net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net cash provided by operating activities for discontinued operations decreased by $3.3 million to a negative $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a positive $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was because the Company’s cash flows only included the activities from April 1, 2024, through May 7, 2024, of the discontinued operations before it was disposed in May 2024.

Cash flows provided by or used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, remained relatively unchanged compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations increased by $62.4 million to $62.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities from discontinued operations of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to the increase of $62.0 million of cash proceeds from sale of the SaaS business for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and net cash provided by financing activities was $51.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, resulted from the proceeds from issuance of Series A preferred stock for $19.6 million, and offset by $18.9 million repayment of debt on the line of credit, and an additional $45.6 million of debt repayment on debt obligations.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, Rubicon entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders, whereby Rubicon is obligated to pay to the TRA Holders 85% of certain of Rubicon’s realized (or in certain cases, deemed realized) tax savings as a result of certain tax benefits related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and future exchanges of Class B Units for Class A Common Stock or cash. Rubicon will benefit from the remaining 15% of such tax savings.

The actual future payments to the TRA Holders will vary, and estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors and future events. The actual future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are dependent on a number of factors, including the price of Class A Common Stock at the time of the exchange; the timing of future exchanges; the extent to which exchanges are taxable; the amount and timing of the utilization of tax attributes; the amount, timing and character of our income; the U.S. federal, state and local tax rates then applicable; the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the increases in tax basis; the timing and amount of any earlier payments that we may have made under the TRA; and the portion of our payments under the TRA that constitutes imputed interest or gives rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis.

A significant portion of any potential future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is anticipated to be payable over 15 years, consistent with the period over which the associated tax deductions would be realized by Rubicon, assuming Holdings LLC generates sufficient income to utilize the deductions. If sufficient income is not generated by Holdings LLC, the associated taxable income of Rubicon will be affected and the associated tax benefits to be realized will be limited, thereby similarly reducing the associated Tax Receivable Agreement payments to be made. We may however still need to seek additional sources of financing depending on the given circumstances at the time any payments will be made.

While many of the factors that will determine the amount of payments that Rubicon will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement are outside of its control, Rubicon expects that the payments it will make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Rubicon generally expects to fund such distributions out of available cash of Holdings LLC, and as a result, such payments will reduce the cash provided by the tax savings generated from the relevant transactions that would otherwise have been available to Rubicon and Holdings LLC for other uses, including repayment of debt, funding day-to-day operations, reinvestment in the business or returning capital to holders of Class A Common Stock in the form of dividends or otherwise.

Rubicon may incur significant costs in addition to the due course obligations arising under the Tax Receivable Agreement described above. In particular, in the event that (a) Rubicon undergoes certain change of control events (e.g., certain mergers, dispositions and other similar transactions), (b) there is a material uncured breach under the Tax Receivable Agreement, or (c) Rubicon elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, in each case, Rubicon’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and become payable in a lump sum amount equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax savings calculated based on certain assumptions, as set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, the interest on the payments made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement may significantly exceed Rubicon’s other costs of capital. In certain situations, including upon the occurrence of the events described above, Rubicon could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that exceed its actual cash savings, requiring it to seek funding from other sources, including incurring additional debt. Thus, Rubicon’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative effect on its financial condition and liquidity.

Despite these potential costs, we do not believe that the Tax Receivable Agreement will be a material detriment to Rubicon’s and Holdings LLC’s future results of operations and liquidity, as any payments required under the Tax Receivable Agreement will arise directly from realized (or in certain cases, deemed realized) tax savings of Rubicon as a result of certain tax benefits related to the Mergers and future exchanges of Class B Units for Class A Common Stock or cash and are expected to be made in lieu of income taxes otherwise payable by Rubicon. Additionally, Rubicon will receive the benefit of 15% of any such tax savings.

Debt

On December 14, 2018, we entered into a $60.0 million “Revolving Credit Facility” secured by all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, intellectual property, and general intangibles. The Revolving Credit Facility’s maturity was December 14, 2023 and bore an interest rate of SOFR plus 5.60%. On February 7, 2023, the we entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which (i) increased the maximum borrowing amount to $75.0 million and (ii) amended the interest rate to between 4.8% up to SOFR plus 4.9%. On March 22, 2023, we entered into another amendment which included (i) a modification of the maturity date and (ii) a lender’s consent to an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement. The borrowing under Revolving Credit Facility was fully paid and terminated on June 7, 2023. Concurrently, we entered into a $90.0 million “June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility” with a maturity date of the earlier of (i) June 7, 2026 or (ii) 90 days prior to the maturity date of the June 2023 Term Loan. The June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility bears an interest rate of SOFR plus 4.25% (9.7% as of June 30, 2024). The June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility later entered into two amendments on December 5, 2023, where the calculation methodology of the borrowing base collateral was modified, and on May 7, 2024, where (i) the lender consented to the SaaS Business sale and (ii) we agreed to make a partial prepayment of $11.4 million upon close of the sale of SaaS Business. On September 22, 2023, our borrowing base collateral under the facility increased by $15.0 million due to a standby letter of credit issued by an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich with an expiration date of the September 30, 2024 and an automatic renewal option for one additional year through September 30, 2025.As of June 30, 2024, the our total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit were $71.4 million and $0.2 million remained available to draw, after accounting for all the changes discussed above. The June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

On March 29, 2019, we entered into a $20.0 million “Term Loan” agreement and subsequently upsized it to $60.0 million and bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus 9.5% with a maturity date of the earlier of March 29, 2024, or the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility, which was later extended to May 23, 2024 through an amendment on May 19, 2023. On November 18, 2022, we entered in to an amendment to the Term Loan agreement which incurred an additional $2.0 million fee, and beginning on April 3, 2023, an additional $0.15 million fee accrued to the principal balance of the Term Loan each week thereafter until the Term Loan was fully repaid. On February 7, 2023, we entered into another amendment, which (i) amended the interest rate to SOFR plus 9.6% and (ii) required us to make a prepayment of $10.3 million, which was paid on February 7, 2023, resulting a $0.8 million loss on extinguishments of debt obligations recorded on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On June 7, 2023, we fully prepaid the borrowing under the Term Loan in the amount of $40.5 million and terminated the facility, resulting a $2.5 million of a loss on extinguishment of debt obligations on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

On December 22, 2021, we entered into a $20.0 million “Subordinated Term Loan” agreement which was originally scheduled to mature on December 22, 2022, bore an interest rate of 15.0% through the original maturity and 14.0% thereafter. Pursuant to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement, we entered into warrant agreements and issued common unit purchase warrants (the “Subordinated Term Loan Warrants”). Pursuant to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement, we entered into warrant agreements and issued common unit purchase warrants (the “Subordinated Term Loan Warrants”). On December 12, 2022, the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants were exercised and converted into Class A Common Stock. On December 30, 2022, we entered into an agreement with the lender of the Subordinated Term Loan, pursuant to which we agreed to compensate, in cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, the lender for the calculated amount between (a) the closing share price of Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately prior to the lender’s exercise of the Subordinated Term Loan Warrants on December 12, 2022 multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued for such exercise (the “December 2022 Warrant Shares”) and (b) the closing share price of Class A Common Stock on the business day immediately prior to the lender’s sale of the December 2022 Warrant Shares multiplied by the number of the December 2022 Warrant Shares sold by the lender (the “Subordinated Term Loan Warrants Make-Whole Agreement”), which expires on December 12, 2027. The maturity of the Subordinated Term Loan was subsequently extended to December 31, 2023, with the amendment entered into on November 18, 2022. On March 22, 2023, we entered into an amendment modifying its maturity date to March 29, 2024, which was subsequently amended to May 23, 2024, with an amendment entered into on May 19, 2023. On June 7, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement, which modified (a) its maturity to the earlier of (i) the scheduled maturity date of June 7, 2025, and (ii) the maturity date of the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, and (b) the interest rate the Subordinated Term Loan bears to 15%. On May 7, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Subordinated Term Loan agreement, where the lender consented to the sale of the SaaS Business. Concurrently, we executed a side letter with the lender of the Subordinated Term Loan, which included additional non-financial covenants for certain time-based milestones in relation to potential transactions we may enter into in future periods.

On June 7, 2023, we entered into a $75.0 million “June 2023 Term Loan” agreement with a maturity date of the earlier of (i) the scheduled maturity date of June 7, 2025, and (ii) the maturity date of the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility. The June 2023 Term Loan bears an interest rate of the prime rate plus a margin of 8.75% or 8.25% with conditions. As of June 30, 2024, the applicable interest rate of the June 2023 Term Loan was 16.8%. At the time of any repayment of the June 2023 Term Loan, we are required to pay a fee in the amount of 12.0% of the principal repaid. On May 7, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the June 2023 Term Loan agreement, where (i) the lender consented to the sale of SaaS Business and (ii) the Company agreed to make a partial prepayment of $45.6 million upon close of the SaaS Business sale. On May 15, 2024, we executed a side letter with one of the three lenders of the June 2023 Term Loan, with additional non-financial covenants for certain time-based milestones in relation to potential transactions we may enter into in future periods, and interest rate (including cash interest and paid-in-kind interest) was capped at 14%.

On February 1, 2023, we issued convertible debentures to certain third parties for a total principal amount of $1.4 million and a total net proceeds of $1.2 million (the “Third Party Convertible Debentures”) with a maturity date of August 1, 2024, and accrue interest at the rate of 6.0% per annum. On June 2, 2023, we into an amendment to the Third Party Convertible Debentures, with the exception of the three debentures, for which the amendment was executed on July 31, 2023. The amendment extended the maturity date to December 1, 2026. On February 1, 2023, we issued a convertible debenture to Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation (the “NZ Superfund”), a then beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock, for a total principal amount of $5.1 million and the total net proceeds of $4.5 million (the “NZ Superfund Convertible Debenture”). The NZ Superfund Convertible Debenture had a maturity date of August 1, 2024, and accrued interest at the rate of 8.0% per annum. On June 2, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the NZ Superfund Convertible Debenture, which extended the maturity date to December 1, 2026, and modified the interest rate it bears to 14.0%.

Refer to “Recent Developments” section above for discussions on amendments on May 7, 2024 to debt agreements.

The total interest expense related to the Revolving Credit Facilities, Term Loan Facilities, and Convertible Debentures was $8.0 million and $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The total interest expense related to the Revolving Credit Facilities, Term Loan Facilities, and Convertible Debentures was $19.2 million and $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

See Note 6 – Debt and Note 10 – Warrants to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for a more detailed description of our indebtedness.

We do not have any special purpose entities and we do not engage in off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Other Financing Arrangements

On November 30, 2022, we entered into the YA Warrant, which is exercisable at a price of $0.0008 per share for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to $20.0 million, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms set forth therein. We received approximately $6.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of the YA Warrant. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 2,987,639 and 7,092,436 shares of Class A Common Stock for partial exercise of the YA Warrant, respectively. On February 28, 2024, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock the YA Warrant is exercisable for was fixed, and as of June 30, 2024, 11,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock remained to be exercised. For more information regarding the YA Warrant, see Note 10 – Warrants and Note 11 – Yorkville SPA, to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

On September 5, 2023, we entered into the Cantor Sales Agreement with Cantor, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through Cantor, shares of Class A Common Stock for aggregate gross proceeds up to $50.0 million. Pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement, Cantor may sell shares of Class A Common Stock in sales deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. We have no obligation to sell any shares of Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Sales Agreement. Cantor will act as sales agent and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of Class A Common Stock requested to be sold by us. Under the terms of the Cantor Sales Agreement, we have agreed to pay Cantor a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from any shares of Class A Common Stock sold pursuant to the Cantor Sales Agreement. The Cantor Sales Agreement will remain in effect until the aggregate gross proceeds of our sales of shares of Class A Common Stock reach $50.0 million in total unless terminated pursuant to the terms of the Cantor Sales Agreement. We did not sell any shares of Class A Common Stock under the Cantor Sales Agreement through June 30, 2024.

On May 7, 2024, we entered into the Rodina SPA with an entity affiliated with Andres Chico and Jose Miguel Enrich. Pursuant to the Rodina SPA, we issued and sold 20,000 shares of Rubicon’s Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate purchase price of $20.0 million. The Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, whether or not declared, dividends at the rate of 8.0% per annum of the stated value per share of the Preferred Stock. On the second anniversary of the closing date and each anniversary thereafter, the dividend rate on the Preferred Stock will increase by 1.0% per annum, up to a maximum dividend rate not to exceed 11.0% per annum. Each holder of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option, to convert its Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Class A Common Stock. The conversion price is $0.35 per share. As of the issuance date, the Preferred Stock was convertible into 57,142,857 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Preferred Stock will rank senior to Class A Common Stock and any other capital stock of Rubicon, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Preferred Stock will vote on an as-converted basis with Class A and Class V Common Stock. The issuance of the Rodina SPA met change in control provisions in certain agreements of ours. We are currently evaluating any potential impact this matter may have. In relation to this matter, we received waivers from the lenders of the June 2023 Revolving Credit Facility, the June 2023 Term Loan and the Subordinated Term Loan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding, among other things, the plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial, of the Company. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “intends,” the negative of such terms and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, estimates, projections, and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management, are inherently uncertain; factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: 1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or others following the closing of the Mergers; 2) the Company’s ability to meet the NYSE’s listing standards following the consummation of the Mergers; 3) the risk that the Mergers disrupt current plans and operations of the Company as a result of consummation of the Mergers; 4) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, which may be affected by, among other things, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; 5) costs related to the Mergers; 6) changes in applicable laws or regulations; 7) the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the effects of inflation and potential recessionary conditions; 8) the Company’s execution of anticipated operational efficiency initiatives, cost reduction measures and financing arrangements; and 9) other risks and uncertainties. More information regarding the risks and uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 28,2024,and amended 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on May 20, 2024, and as may be updated in this and other subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know of or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specific in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Per Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (“certifying officers”) have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of March 31, 2024. Our certifying officers concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud due to inherent limitations of internal controls. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. 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 the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our certifying officers concluded that the Company did not have an effective internal control over the review of the complex transactions related to the equity and complex technical accounting matters related to warrants due to the lack of sufficient and effective review processes. The material weakness resulted in a restatement of our financial statements as described in the Explanatory Note to the amendment to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 20, 2024; and resulted in the revision of our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Furthermore, the control deficiencies described above created a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation Status of Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We plan to enhance our processes by designing and implementing controls to review the equity transactions, including the completeness and accuracy of relevant information. We also plan to engage additional qualified resources and/or hire additional staff to ensure these incremental controls are properly implemented.

Management continues to be actively engaged to take steps to remediate the material weakness, including enhanced processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our consolidated financial statements, providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents, and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we are or may be involved in various legal or regulatory proceedings, claims or purported class actions related to alleged infringement of third-party patents and other intellectual property rights, commercial, corporate and securities, labor and employment, wage and hour and other claims. In management’s opinion, resolution of all current matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this quarterly report, other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in our 10-K Annual Report as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024, and (ii) the 10-Q Quarterly Report filed with the SEC on May 20, 2024. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
