MATTERPORT AND GORES HOLDINGS VI

SQUAWK BOX INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT

Andrew Ross Sorkin: Welcome back to Squawk Box. The Silicon Valley startup, Matterport, going public through a SPAC this morning. The software company that makes 3D virtual tours and physical spaces combining with Gores Holdings VI. Total enterprise value is more than 2 million dollars, expected to close in the second quarter and backers of a nearly $300 million investment PIPE include Tiger Global and Fidelity. Another day another SPAC, and joining us now first on CNBC is Matterport CEO, RJ Pittman, and Mark Stone, senior managing director of the Gores Group, he’s the CEO of Gores Holding VI and has now led all seven of the Gores SPACs. Good morning to both of you. RJ, congratulations on this deal. Help us understand the SPAC phenomenon if you will, because I know you were thinking of going public in 2021, that was on your roadmap, and I think we’re all trying to understand this new phenomenon.

RJ Pittman: Sure, I mean the options for companies like Matterport, you know they’re varied, and the SPAC crowd was one, but the way that we approached this was not about looking at a transaction type, but who was the right partner. So we entered the process, we were considering all options: traditional public offering, even staying private as well as the SPAC, and through that process we met the Gores Group, and they were an interesting partner that had an unusual amount of experience in the SPAC space as well as having deep technology and investing experience as well. And as we dipped further into that process, we found that we had a terrific partner that could really create a force multiplier for us in bringing Matterport public and accelerating our strategy of creating one of the most exciting platform technologies of the decade.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: RJ, explain this though and then I’ll talk to Mark about it. Sometimes I’ve asked the question I just asked you, and I get feedback from people who say “you know, if someone was going public you typically wouldn’t ask them why they decided to use Goldman Sachs as their underwriter.” Do you think it’s similar, or no?

RJ Pittman: No, listen, you know certainly in my experience, I’ve been doing this long enough, what’s most important is quality. You look for quality in the partnerships no matter who you choose, if you’re really doing this in the right way. And I think that’s something that’s been deeply rooted with Matterport, our investors , our board members, really our partners and customers along the way. It’s built around that fabric, and you know, I can genuinely say that in this case, there’s no question—the SPAC vehicle provides some very efficient, advantageous options to it. And you can move very quickly through that listing process, through that fundraising process, you have a fantastic lineup of PIPE investors that are on the ready. And if you partner with the right company, you really can create something I think that is extraordinary, differentiated, but really, it’s unique for your company. It’s not necessarily right for every business, but in our case we were thoughtful about it, and we feel really great about this.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: Mark, you’ve now done seven of these, and I think the public somewhat understands them, somewhat doesn’t understand them. When we look back at this vintage of SPACs, a lot of people look at the number, the pure volume of them and say, “look, a couple years from now we’re going to look back, and there may be some successes but anything—any time there’s too much energy around something, there is a bit of a mania, and there’s going to be losses along the way as well if not more so.” What do you think?

Mark Stone: Look, we keep our heads down and stay focused on finding—bringing great companies public, right? What we look for is pretty common across all of them. We look for high quality companies that are bringing differentiated and market leading solutions to the market very much like Matterport. Have untapped and significant growth potential in front of them and outstanding management to deliver on that potential. I think if we stick to the recipe, we’re going to continue the success we’ve had over the course of the last six years.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: One of the questions people have asked is a lot about alignment—alignment of the various investor groups and also disclosure rules relating to IPOs versus SPACs. Mark, I wanted to get your sense on a couple of things. We’ve obviously been asking some of these questions in large part because last week there was the news around Clover, a very high-profile SPAC with Chamath Palihapitiya, then you had a short seller come out and say there were certain things that did not get disclosed through the SPAC. So I’m curious, do you think the idea of forward-looking projections in the context of a SPAC, which can’t be done in IPOs, should those kinds of things be aligned? The fiduciary duty rules that would typically be established in the context of an IPO, which don’t necessarily exist in a SPAC. So my understanding, Mark, and you can speak to this differently, the sponsor actually doesn’t have a fiduciary duty to the de-SPAC’d investor group, for example, and there are no fairness opinions. I’ve never been a big fan of fairness opinions to begin with because I think they’re theater. But to some degree, there’s no independent outside somebody saying this actually is a fair deal for everybody.

Mark Stone: It’s an interesting point. I will tell you, we have closed five business combinations, and I believe we’re one of the only SPAC sponsors out there whose boards require an independent third-party fairness opinion before approving any transaction. We’ve done it in every single deal, and we’ll do it in every single deal going forward. Look, I don’t think there’s any better way to show your belief and conviction and to gain alignment of interest than to put your money where your mouth is, right? We’ve delivered 3.6 billion of new equity across the five transactions that we’ve closed. Of that 3.6, we personally have committed to over 400 million of that. And that’s not other people’s money, not fund money, that is money coming from the checkbooks of the principles associated with the Gores sponsor.

Andrew Ross Sorkin: RJ, Mark, we wish you a lot of luck with this. We hope to follow your progress. RJ, it’s been great—we had you on a long time ago when you were first getting cracking. It’s great to see you succeeding, and we wish you luck with this transaction of course as well. And again, hope to talk to you soon.

Mark Stone: Congratulations, RJ.

RJ Pittman: Thanks.
