On February 23, 2021, Constellation Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of up to $699,999.00 to certain affiliates of Constellation Sponsor GmbH & Co. KG (the “Sponsor”). The proceeds of the Note, which may be drawn down from time to time until the Company consummates its initial business combination, will be used as general working capital purposes.

The Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the initial public offering (or such later date as may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association) or (ii) the consummation of the Company’s business combination. A failure to pay the principal within five business days of the date specified above or the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the Note may be accelerated. The affiliates of the Sponsor have the option to convert any unpaid balance of the Note into private placement warrants (the “Conversion Warrants”), each warrant exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The terms of the Conversion Warrants would be identical to the warrants issued by the Company to affiliates of the Sponsor in a private placement that was consummated in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The affiliates of the Sponsor shall be entitled to certain registration rights relating to the Conversion Warrants.

The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

A copy of the Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosures set forth in this Item 2.03 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note.
