~~(a)~~ On ~~April 12~~June 9, 2021, ~~the~~Spartacus Acquisition ~~staff~~Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “~~Staff~~Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ~~Securities~~“Merger ~~and~~Agreement”) ~~Exchange~~with ~~Commission~~Spartacus Acquisition Shelf Corp., a Delaware corporation (~~the~~“Shelf”), NextNav, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, NextNav Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“~~SEC~~Holdings”), NEA ~~issued~~14 NextNav Blocker, LLC, a ~~statement~~Delaware limited liability company (~~the~~“NEA Blocker”), Oak NextNav Blocker, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“~~Staff~~Oak ~~Statement~~Blocker”), ~~entitled~~Columbia Progeny Partners IV, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“~~Staff~~Columbia Blocker”), Global Long Short Partners Aggregating Holdings Del VII LLC, a Delaware limited liability ~~Statement~~company on(“GS ~~Accounting~~Blocker 1”), Global Private Opportunities Partners Holdings II Corp., a Delaware corporation, (“GS Blocker 2,” and ~~Reporting~~collectively ~~Considerations~~with ~~for~~NEA ~~Warrants~~Blocker, ~~Issued~~Oak byBlocker, ~~Special~~Columbia ~~Purpose~~Blocker, ~~Acquisition~~and ~~Companies~~GS Blocker 1, the “Blockers”), SASC (SPAC) Merger Sub 1 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“~~SPACs~~MS 1”)., SASC (Target) Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 2”), SASC (NB) Merger Sub 3 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS In3”), ~~the~~SASC ~~Staff~~(OB) ~~Statement~~Merger Sub 4 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 4”), SASC (CB) Merger Sub 5 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MS 5”), SASC (GB1) Merger Sub 6 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“MS 6”) , and SASC (GB2) Merger Sub 7 Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MS 7,” and collectively with MS 1, MS 2, MS 3, MS 4, MS 5, and MS 6, the ~~Staff~~“Merger Entities”). The Merger Entities are each wholly owned subsidiaries of Shelf. The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, ~~highlighted~~(a) ~~potential~~MS ~~accounting~~1 ~~implications~~to ofbe ~~certain~~merged ~~terms~~with ~~that~~and ~~are~~into ~~common~~the inCompany, ~~warrants~~with ~~issued~~the inCompany ~~connection~~surviving the merger; (b) MS 2 to be merged with and into Holdings, with Holdings surviving the ~~initial~~merger; ~~public~~(c) MS ~~offerings~~3 ofto ~~special~~be ~~purpose~~merged ~~acquisition~~with ~~companies~~and ~~such~~into asNEA ~~Spartacus~~Blocker, ~~Acquisition~~with NEA Blocker surviving the merger; (d) MS 4 to be merged with and into Oak Blocker, with ~~Corporation~~Oak Blocker surviving the merger; (e) MS 5 to be merged with and into Columbia Blocker, with Columbia Blocker surviving the ~~“Company”~~merger; (f) MS 6 to be merged with and into GS Blocker 1, with GS Blocker 1 surviving the merger; and (g) MS 7 to be merged with and into GS Blocker 2, with GS Blocker 2 surviving the merger.

The ~~warrant~~Merger agreement, dated as of October 15, 2020, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, governing the Company’s warrants (the “Warrants”) includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent on the characteristics of the holder of the Warrant. Upon review of the Staff Statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant, regardless of consideration for probability of occurrence. Based on the management of the Company’s evaluation, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), in consultation with the Company’s management concluded that the Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the characteristics of the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.Agreement

On May 4, 2021, the Audit Committee, based on the recommendation of and after consultation with the Company’s management, concluded that its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and its audited balance sheet as of October 19, 2020 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”), as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021 and Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 23, 2020, should no longer be relied upon based on the reclassification of the Warrants as described above. Similarly, the related press releases, Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, dated March 23, 2021, on the financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from August 10, 2020 (date of inception) through December 31, 2020, and the stockholder communications, investor presentations or other communications describing relevant portions of the Company’s financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods that need to be restated should no longer be relied upon.Transactions

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and amendments thereto, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and the other relevant documents filed with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for its stockholders’ special meeting to be held to approve the Transactions because the proxy statement/prospectus will contain important information about the Company, Shelf, Holdings and the Transactions. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of the Company as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transactions. Investors may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement/prospectus (if and when it becomes available) and other relevant documents filed by Shelf and the Company with the SEC at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Stockholders of the Company will also be able to obtain copies of the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Spartacus Acquisition Corporation, 26470 E Johns Crossing, Suite 490, Duluth, Georgia 30097.

Participants in Solicitation

The Company, Holdings and certain of their directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company’s stockholders with respect to the approval of the Transactions. Information regarding the Company’s directors and officers and a description of their interests in the Company is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation, including Holdings’ directors and officers, and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials filed with the SEC regarding the Transactions when available. Each of these documents is, or will be, available at the SEC’s website or by directing a request to the Company as described above under “Additional Information About the Transactions and Where to Find It.”

In connection with the Transactions, at any time prior to the Company’s special meeting of stockholders to approve the Transactions, certain existing Company stockholders, which may include certain of the Company’s officers, directors and other affiliates, may enter into transactions with stockholders and other persons with respect to the Company’s securities to provide such investors or other persons with incentives in connection with the approval and consummation of the Transactions. While the exact nature of such incentives has not yet been determined, they might include, without limitation, arrangements to purchase shares from or sell shares to such investors and persons at nominal prices or prices other than fair market value. These stockholders will only effect such transactions when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding the Company, Holdings or their respective securities.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “forecast,” “intend,” “seek,” “target,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to the Company’s, Shelf’s or NextNav’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning the timing of the Transactions; the PIPE Investment, the business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of the public company once the Transactions are complete, and NextNav’s estimated and future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment and potential growth opportunities. These statements are based on the Company’s or NextNav’s management’s current expectations and beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company’s or NextNav’s control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to, (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions; (2) the inability to complete the proposed business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Transactions due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the ability of the Shelf to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards following the Transactions; (4) the inability to complete the PIPE Investment; (5) the risk that the proposed Transactions disrupt current plans and operations of NextNav as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transactions described herein; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers retain its management and key employees; (7) costs related to the proposed business combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, including from the Federal Communications Commission, required to complete the business combination; (9) the possibility that NextNav may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; (10) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, NextNav or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the Transactions; (11) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions; and (12) other risk and uncertainties indicated from time to time in other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by the Company. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and the Company and NextNav undertake no commitment to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This communication and the information contained herein is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in the Company and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in the Company. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company and NextNav, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to the Company and Holdings or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Disclaimer

This communication shall neither constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
