NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF CF FINANCE ACQUISITION CORP. II

TO BE HELD ON                , 2021

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF CF FINANCE ACQUISITION CORP. II:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation, which is referred to as “CF II”, will be held at                Eastern Time, on                , as a virtual meeting. The meeting will be held virtually over the internet by means of a live audio webcast. You will be able to attend, vote your shares and submit questions during the Special Meeting via a live webcast available at https://www.cstproxy.com/cffinanceacquisitioncorpii/2021. At the Special Meeting, CF II stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals.

We refer to this proposal as the “Business Combination Proposal.” Copies of the Merger Agreement and certain other agreements to be entered into pursuant to the Merger Agreement are attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A, G, H, I and J.

We refer to these proposals collectively as the “Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals”;

Only holders of record of CF II Common Stock at the close of business on January 27, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. Please note that you will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. In light of the ongoing developments relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of CF II stockholders, management, employees and the community, the Special Meeting will be held virtually conducted via live audio webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting                . CF II recommends that you log in at least 15 minutes before the Special Meeting to ensure you are logged in when the meeting starts.

Pursuant to the Existing Charter, CF II is providing its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of CF II Class A Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two (2) business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination) in the Trust Account that holds the proceeds (including interest but less taxes payable) of the IPO. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of $500 million on February 8, 2021, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. CF II public stockholders are not required to affirmatively vote for or against the Business Combination in order to redeem their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock for cash. This means that public stockholders who hold shares of CF II Class A Common Stock on or before                , (two (2) business days before the Special Meeting) will be eligible to elect to have their shares of CF II Class A Common Stock redeemed for cash in connection with the Special Meeting, whether or not they are holders as of the Record Date, and whether or not such shares are voted at the Special Meeting. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, with respect to 15% or more of the shares of CF II Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold in the IPO. Holders of our outstanding Public Warrants and Units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination. Holders of outstanding Units must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. CF II’s sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of CF II Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor owns 21.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of CF II Common Stock. The Sponsor and CF II’s directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of CF II Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

The approval of each of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, and the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of CF II Common Stock as of the Record Date for the Special Meeting. The approval of the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of CF II Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voted thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of CF II Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote

thereon at the Special Meeting. If the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are not approved, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the CF II stockholders for a vote. The approval of each of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal, is a precondition to the consummation of the Business Combination. The CF II Board has already approved the Business Combination.

As of February 8, 2021, there was $500 million in the Trust Account. Each redemption of shares of CF II Class A Common Stock by CF II’s public stockholders will decrease the amount in the Trust Account. Net tangible assets will be maintained at a minimum of $5,000,001 immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the Proposals. We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call Morrow Sodali LLC at (800) 662-5200 (banks and brokers call collect at (203) 658-9400).

The Sponsor and our directors and officers have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. As a result, we would need only 18,200,001, or 36.4%, of the 50,000,000 Public Shares, to be voted in favor of the Business Combination in order to have the Business Combination approved.

The approval of the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of CF II Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and voted thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive

12

Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal each requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of CF II Common Stock cast by the stockholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. A CF II stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting will not be counted towards the number of shares of CF II Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

If the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal are not approved, the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented to the CF II stockholders for a vote. The approval of the Pre-Merger Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the election of each director nominee pursuant to the Director Election Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Post-Merger Charter Amendment Proposals, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the CEO Incentive Plan Proposal are preconditions to the consummation of the Business Combination.

13

These interests may influence CF II’s officers and directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. The CF II Board was aware of and considered these interests to the extent such interests existed at the time, among other matters, in approving the Merger Agreement and in recommending that the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination be approved by the stockholders of CF II. See “The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor and CF II’s

14

Directors, Officers and Affiliates in the Business Combination” beginning on page 150 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The CF II Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination including, but not limited to: macroeconomic uncertainty, risks relating to the performance of the commercial real estate market generally and such market’s adoption and utilization of smart glass in new construction and/or renovation, the risks that business plan and projections may not be achieved and risks relating to CF II’s valuation of View, in particular the lack of third party valuation. See the sections titled “The Business Combination Proposal — The CF II Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination.”

Please also affirmatively certify in your request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company for redemption if you “ARE” or “ARE NOT” acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of CF II Class A Common Stock. A holder of the Public Shares, together with any of its affiliate any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, which we refer to as the “15% threshold.” Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of the 15% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is CF II’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, CF II does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and thereafter, with CF II’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination. If you delivered your shares for redemption to CF II’s transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that CF II’s transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting CF II’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

16

TAX MATTERS ARE COMPLICATED, AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF YOUR OWN SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO YOU IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

If you hold Units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such Units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such Units into Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the Public Share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your Units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your Units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent. Such written instructions must include the number of Units to be split and the nominee holding such Units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant Units and a deposit of an equal number of Public Shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the Units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your Public Shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

17

If, as a result of the termination of the Merger Agreement or otherwise, CF II is unable to complete the Business Combination or another initial business combination transaction by August 31, 2022 (or a later date approved by the stockholders of CF II pursuant to the Existing Charter), the Existing Charter provides that CF II will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to it to pay taxes payable and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, by (B) the total number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemptions, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the CF II Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to its obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

CF II expects that the amount of any distribution its public stockholders will be entitled to receive upon its dissolution will be approximately the same as the amount they would have received if they had redeemed their shares in connection with the Business Combination, subject in each case to CF II’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Holders of Founders Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to those shares.

In the event of liquidation, there will be no distribution with respect to CF II’s outstanding Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants will expire worthless.

For a description of the conditions to the completion of the Business Combination, see the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal.”

RISK FACTORS

Stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before they decide whether to vote or instruct their vote to be cast to approve the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Combined Entity” refer to CF II and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination. References in this section to “CF II” and the “Company” refer to CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II and references in this section to “View” refer to View, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Risk Factors Relating to View

Risk Factors Relating to View’s Business and Industry

View’s limited operating history and a history of financial losses make evaluating View’s business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment.

You must consider the risks and difficulties View faces as an early stage company with a limited operating history. If View does not successfully address these risks, View’s business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely harmed. View has been devoting substantially all of its efforts towards the manufacturing, sale and further development of its product platforms, and marketing of both custom and standardized product solutions. In the course of its activities, View has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. View incurred a net loss of $289.9 million and $201.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. View believes that it will continue to incur substantial losses until at least the time it meets the demands of its current order backlog, assuming such backlogs can be sustained. There can be no assurance that positive cash flows from operations can be achieved or sustained and may occur later than expected.

The amount of View’s future losses is uncertain and View’s quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly or may fall below the expectations of investors as View, among other things, continues to incur significant expenses in connection with the design, development and manufacturing of its products, expansion of its research and development activities, investment in manufacturing capabilities, build-up of inventories of components for its products, increase in its sales and marketing activities, development of its distribution infrastructure and increase in its general and administrative functions to support its growing operations. View may find that these efforts are more expensive than it currently anticipates or that these efforts may not result in a sufficient increase in revenue, which would further increase View’s losses.

View’s future growth and success is dependent upon the real estate industry’s willingness to adopt smart glass and specifically View’s products, especially in the smart glass market which View is targeting with View Smart Glass.

View’s growth is highly dependent upon the adoption of smart glass by the real estate industry. Although View anticipates growing demand for View’s products, there is no guarantee of such future demand, or that View’s products will remain competitive in the market.

If the market for smart glass in general and View products in particular does not develop as View expects, or develops more slowly than View expects, or if demand for View’s products decreases in its markets, View’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. The market for View’s products could be affected by numerous factors, such as:

56

View’s revenue and backlog may not be adequate or grow sufficiently, and that backlog may not convert into future sales.

View cannot provide assurances that its business will grow. For instance, bookings and design win backlogs may not materialize into future sales as expected, as building projects may be canceled or change their product plans due to the time-sensitive nature of the construction of commercial buildings which is often delayed by unforeseen events, or terminated completely. Even if View’s backlog can be sustained and there is conversion into future sales, View may not be able to produce and deliver the products at sufficient cost, or at all.

View’s new products and services may not be successful.

View launched its first smart glass products and services in 2012. Since that time, View has launched a number of other offerings and anticipates launching additional products and services in the future. Existing and new products and services View may launch in the future may not be well received by View’s business customers, may not help View to generate new business customers, may adversely affect the attrition rate of existing business customers, may increase View’s business customer acquisition costs and may increase the costs to service View’s business customers. Any profits View may generate from these or other new products or services may be lower than profits generated from View’s other products and services and may not be sufficient for View to recoup View’s development or business customer acquisition costs incurred. New products and services may also have lower gross margins, particularly to the extent that they do not fully utilize View’s existing infrastructure. In addition, new products and services may require increased operational expenses or business customer acquisition costs and present new and difficult technological and intellectual property challenges that may subject View to claims or complaints if business customers experience service disruptions or failures or other quality issues. To the extent View’s new products and services are not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

View’s financial results may vary significantly from period-to-period due to fluctuations in its operating costs, revenue and other factors.

View expects its period-to-period financial results to vary based on its operating costs and revenue, which View anticipates will fluctuate as the pace at which it continues to design, develop and manufacture new products and possibly increase production capacity by expanding its current manufacturing facility and adding future facilities, and, ultimately, upon market acceptance of its products. Additionally, View’s revenue from period-to-period may fluctuate as it introduces existing products to new markets for the first time and as it develops and introduces new products. As a result of these factors, View believes that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its financial results, especially in the short term, are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. Moreover, View’s financial results may not meet expectations of equity research analysts, ratings agencies or investors, who may be focused only on quarterly financial results.

View’s operating and financial results forecast relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by View. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, View’s actual operating results may be materially different from its forecasted results.

The projected financial and operating information appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect current estimates of future performance. Whether actual operating and financial results and business

57

developments will be consistent with View’s expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecasts depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside View’s control, including, but not limited to:

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond View’s control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial results.

View may not be able to accurately estimate the future supply and demand for its products, which could result in a variety of inefficiencies in its business and hinder its ability to generate revenue. If View fails to accurately predict its manufacturing requirements, it could incur additional costs or experience delays.

It is difficult to predict View’s future revenue and appropriately budget for its expenses, and View may have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect its business. View anticipates being required to provide forecasts of its demand to its current and future suppliers prior to the scheduled delivery of products to potential business customers. Currently, there is no historical basis for making judgments on the demand for View’s products or its ability to develop, manufacture, and deliver products, or View’s profitability in the future. If View overestimates its requirements, its suppliers may have excess inventory, which indirectly would increase View’s costs. If View underestimates its requirements, its suppliers may have inadequate inventory, which could interrupt manufacturing of its products and result in delays in shipments and revenue. In addition, lead times for materials and components that View’s suppliers order may vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for each component at a given time. If View fails to order sufficient quantities of product components in a timely manner, the delivery of its products to its potential business customers could be delayed, which would harm View’s business, financial condition and operating results.

Disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for glass, could harm View’s business.

View’s business is dependent on the continued supply of certain materials, including glass for use in its products, and View may experience a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of such materials. Any such supply interruption or shortage could materially and negatively impact View’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. The available supply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials and could adversely affect View’s business and operating results.

Increases in cost of materials, including glass, could harm View’s business.

Certain materials necessary to produce View products, including glass, are sourced from a limited number of suppliers. Any disruption in the supply of materials from such suppliers could disrupt production of its products until such time as a different supplier is fully qualified. As a result, View may experience an increase in costs or inability to meet customer demand. Furthermore, shortages or increased demand of such materials and other economic conditions may cause View to experience significant increases in freight charges and the cost of materials. Substantial increases in the prices for View’s materials or prices charged to it would increase View’s

58

operating costs, and could reduce its margins if it cannot recoup the increased costs through increased product prices. Any attempts to increase product prices in response to increased material costs could result in cancellations of product orders and reservations and therefore materially and adversely affect View’s brand, image, business, prospects and operating results.

View has yet to achieve positive cash flow and there can be no assurance that View will be able to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future.

View has had negative cash flow from operating activities of $310.1 million and $234.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively. View anticipates that it will continue to have negative cash flow from operating and investing activities for the foreseeable future as it scales its business. View’s business also will at times require significant amounts of working capital to support its growth, particularly as it acquires inventory to support its anticipated increase in production. An inability to generate positive cash flow for the foreseeable future may adversely affect View’s ability to raise needed capital for its business on reasonable terms, diminish supplier or customer willingness to enter into transactions with View, and have other adverse effects that would decrease its long-term viability. There can be no assurance View will achieve positive cash flow in the foreseeable future.

Any significant disruption to View’s sole manufacturing production line or the failure of its facility to operate according to its expectation could have a material adverse effect on View’s results of operations.

View currently manufactures its smart glass product on a single production line. While significantly complete, View’s second production line is currently incapable of producing its products and will require capital investment to become operational. Any stoppages, malfunction, or destruction of View’s operational line could adversely affect View’s ability to meet customer demand, manufacture its products at cost and/or ramp production. In addition, View may experience delays in realizing its cost targets in the event that there is an increase in the costs of maintenance of the equipment, machinery and facility used in production.

Operational problems with View’s manufacturing equipment could result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production. Safety incidents could damage machinery or product, slow or stop production, or harm employees. In addition, operational problems may result in environmental damage, administrative fines, increased insurance costs and potential legal liabilities. All of these operational problems could have a material adverse effect on View’s business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or prospects.

View’s corporate headquarters and production facility are located in seismically active regions. If major disasters such as earthquakes, fires or other events occur, or View’s information system or communications network breaks down or operates improperly, its headquarters and production facility may be seriously damaged, or View may have to stop or delay production and shipment of its products. View may incur expenses relating to such damages, which could have a material adverse impact on its business, operating results and financial condition.

Any issues or delays in meeting View’s projected manufacturing costs and production capacity could adversely impact its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

Future events could result in issues or delays in further ramping View’s products and expanding production output at its existing and future operating lines. In order to achieve its volume and the anticipated ramp in production of its products, View must continue to sustain and ramp significant production at its sole, existing production line. View is not currently employing full degree of automation in the manufacturing processes for its products. If View is unable to maintain production at its Olive Branch facility, ramp output additionally over time as needed, and do so cost-effectively, or if it is unable to attract, hire and retain a substantial number of

59

highly skilled personnel, View’s ability to supply its products could be negatively impacted, which could negatively affect View’s brand and harm its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

The timeframe for the construction of View’s second operating line is subject to a number of uncertainties, including regulatory licenses, supply chain constraints, hiring and retention of qualified employees, labor delays and competition for workers. Moreover, View’s second operating line will require significant investments of cash and management resources. If we experience any issues or delays in meeting its projected timelines, costs, capital efficiency and production capacity for this second operating line, or in securing and complying with the terms of financing that View intends will largely fund its construction, its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

COVID-19 and other public health crises could materially impact View’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly growing coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted health and economic conditions throughout the United States, including the construction industry. In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, View implemented a number of precautionary and other measures to promote business continuity. These measures have been comprehensive and included initiatives regarding employee health and safety, working conditions (including remote working), engagements with business customers and suppliers, financial management, operational efficiency, internal and external communications, government relations and community outreach. While View believes that all of these measures have been necessary or appropriate, they have resulted in additional costs and may adversely impact its business and financial performance in the future or expose View to additional unknown risks.

The extent to which the pandemic could impact View continues to be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, and will depend largely on subsequent developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic, measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, such as restrictions on travel and gatherings of people and temporary closures of or limitations on businesses and other commercial activities, and policies implemented by governmental authorities to ease restrictions in a phased manner.

Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19, including on View’s business, View may be subject to significant risks, which have the potential to materially and adversely impact its business, financial condition, and results of operations, including the following:
