On March 1, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252909) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of NightDragon Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On March 4, 2021, the Company closed the IPO of 34,500,000 SCALE (Stakeholder-Centered Aligned Listed Equity) units (the “SCALE Units”), including 4,500,000 SCALE Units pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each SCALE Unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Class A common stock”), and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The SCALE Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per SCALE Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

The above descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable agreements, each of which is incorporated by reference herein and attached hereto as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement, the Company completed the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 1,035,000 SCALE Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $10,350,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the SCALE Units sold in the IPO, except that (1) for so long as the Private Placement Units are held by the Sponsor or the Company’s officers or directors (or its or their permitted transferees), they may not, subject to certain exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (2) for so long as the shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Shares”) are held by the Sponsor or the Company’s officers or directors (or its or their permitted transferees), the Private Placement Shares: (i) will be entitled to registration rights and (ii) may not, subject to certain exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30

2

days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; and (3) for so long as the warrants sold as part of the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Warrants”) are held by the Sponsor or the Company’s officers or directors (or its or their permitted transferees), the Private Placement Warrants: (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, (iv) will not be exercisable more than five years from the effective date of the Registration Statement and (v) will be entitled to registration rights.

No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In connection with the IPO, the Company amended and restated its bylaws, effective as of March 4, 2021 (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”). The terms of the Amended and Restated Bylaws are set forth in the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

A total of $345,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (which includes $12,750,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at Bank of America, National Association, with AST acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of: (1) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or 27 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (3) the redemption of 100% of the Company’s public shares if it does not complete an initial business combination within the required timeframe (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the IPO, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

An audited balance sheet as of March 4, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon closing of the IPO and the Private Placement will be filed within four business days of the closing of the IPO.
