VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

PROSPECTUS FOR

[●] SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

AND

[●] SHARES OF CLASS V COMMON STOCK

OF

VPC IMPACT ACQUISITION HOLDINGS III, INC.

TO BE RENAMED “DAVE INC.” FOLLOWING THE BUSINESS COMBINATION DESCRIBED HEREIN)

Dear VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc. Stockholders:

On June 7, 2021, VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VPCC”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among VPCC, Dave Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dave”), Bear Merger Company I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (“First Merger Sub”), and Bear Merger Company II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (“Second Merger Sub” and together with the First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”). If (i) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are adopted by Dave Stockholders (as defined below), (ii) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (as defined below) and Combined Company Class V Common Stock (as defined below) to be issued as the merger consideration, are approved by the VPCC Stockholders (as defined below), and (iii) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are subsequently completed, First Merger Sub will merge with and into Dave (the “First Merger”), with Dave surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (such company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, the “Surviving Corporation”), immediately followed by the surviving corporation merging with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Second Merger Sub (such entity, following the Second Merger, the “Surviving Entity”) surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of VPCC (VPCC following such Mergers, hereinafter referred to as the “Combined Company”). Following the Mergers, the Combined Company will operate under the name “Dave Inc.” and the Surviving Entity will operate under the name “Dave Operating LLC”.

The Merger Agreement, provides, among other things, that prior to the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”), Dave will take all necessary action to cause (the following transactions collectively referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the “Recapitalization”):

The Dave Stockholders (including holders of restricted shares of Dave Common Stock (“Dave Restricted Stock”)) and holders of vested Dave Options (as defined below) will receive aggregate merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement with an implied value of $3,500,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock, with each deemed to have a value of $10.00 per share, equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (such aggregate merger consideration, the “Aggregate Stock Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (and following the consummation of the Recapitalization), (a) each share of Dave Class A Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly issued Class A common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.0001 (“Combined Company Class A Common Stock”), equal to an exchange ratio (the “Per Share Dave Stock Consideration”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Stock Consideration by the sum of (without duplication): (i) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and following the consummation of the Recapitalization (including all shares of Dave Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested); (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan Options (in each case, as defined below) that are unexpired, issued, outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Options and Dave Non-Plan Options are exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Options or Dave Non-Plan Options equals (x) the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)); and (iii) the aggregate number of shares of Dave Stock that are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of all Dave Warrants that are unexpired, issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming, for purposes of this calculation, that all such Dave Warrants are vested and exercised on a net exercise basis based on the assumption, solely for purposes of this calculation, that the fair market value of each share underlying such Dave Warrants equals the (x) Per Share Dave Stock Consideration multiplied by (y) ten dollars ($10.00)) (the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares”) and (b) each share of Dave Class V Common Stock held by the Dave Stockholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a number of shares of newly authorized and issued Class V common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.0001 (“Combined Company Class V Common Stock” and together with the Combined Company Class A Common Stock, “Combined Company Common Stock”), equal to the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration.

Each option to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) (other than certain options to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave granted outside of the terms and conditions of Dave’s stock plans (“Dave Non-Plan Options”)) will be automatically assumed by the Combined Company and converted into an option to acquire an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (each such resulting option, a “Rollover Option”) at an adjusted exercise price per share and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Option, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Options. The shares of Dave Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Dave Options that are outstanding, unexercised and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (such options, the “Unvested Dave Options”) are not included in the calculation of the “Dave Stock Adjusted Fully Diluted Shares” for purposes of the calculation of the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration, and the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Rollover Options representing at the Effective Time Unvested Dave Options (such shares, “Unvested Rollover Option Shares”) are not

considered a part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration. The Unvested Rollover Option Shares will reduce the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock initially available for issuance under the new equity incentive plan that the Combined Company will adopt as of the Closing.

Each Dave Non-Plan Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled for no consideration.

Each award of Dave Restricted Stock that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically assumed by VPCC and converted into an award of restricted stock with respect to an adjusted number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock (pursuant to a ratio based on the Per Share Dave Stock Consideration) (the “Rollover Restricted Stock”) and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Dave Restricted Stock, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions or such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the parties to the Merger Agreement may determine are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Restricted Stock.

Each warrant to purchase shares of capital stock of Dave (“Dave Warrants”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically terminated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Dave Warrant and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the terms of the Founder Holder Agreement, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to (a) surrender to VPCC, on a pro rata basis, immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers and for no consideration, up to 951,622 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock (after giving effect to the Founder Holder Class B Conversion) comprising the Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares (as defined in the proxy statement/prospectus), in the event that the number of shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock equal to (x) the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by the VPCC Stockholders (other than the Founder Holders) that are redeemed in connection with the VPCC Share Redemptions minus (y) the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased by Sponsor or one or more of its affiliates or certain related parties prior to the Closing in connection with a VPCC Share Redemptions Alternative Financing (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus), represents greater than 20% of the shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock held by the VPCC Stockholders as of the date of the Merger Agreement; and (b) forfeit on a pro rata basis, up to 1,586,037 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock comprising the Founder Holder Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, such that 100% of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be forfeited in the event that the Combined Company Class A Common Stock does not achieve certain trading price as later disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, pursuant to Subscription Agreements that VPCC entered into with certain investors substantially concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the consummation of the Mergers, such investors will purchase an aggregate of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for $10.00 per share.

It is anticipated that following the Closing: (a) the Public Stockholders (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) are expected to own approximately 6.4% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.3% of the voting power; (b) Dave Stockholders are expected to own approximately 86.8% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 95.1% of the voting power, of which Mr. Wilk is expected to own approximately 19.1% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 70.2% of the voting power; (c) the Sponsor and related parties are expected to collectively own approximately 1.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 0.6% of the voting power and (d) the PIPE Investors (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) are expected to own approximately 5.3% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 1.9% of the voting power. These percentages assume (i) that no Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination (as defined below), (ii) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment and (iii) none of the outstanding warrants to purchase Combined Company Class A Common Stock are exercised. If there are redemptions by the Public Stockholders up to the maximum level that would permit completion of the Business

Combination, (a) the Public Stockholders will own none of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold none of the voting power; (b) Dave Stockholders will own approximately 92.9% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 97.5% of the voting power, of which Mr. Wilk is expected to own approximately 20.4% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 72% of the voting power; (c) the Sponsor and related parties will own approximately 1.4% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 0.5% of the voting power; and (d) the PIPE Investors will own approximately 5.7% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock and hold approximately 2.0 of the voting power. These percentages assume (i) that 25,376,598 Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and (ii) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors pursuant to the PIPE Investment. Immediately following the Closing, Mr. Wilk and his permitted transferees will control the Combined Company and the Combined Company will be a controlled company within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). For a description of the exemptions from Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards that are available to controlled companies, please see the section titled “Combined Company Management After the Business Combination—Controlled Company Exemption.”

VPCC’s Units, VPCC Class A Common Stock and VPCC Public Warrants are publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbols “VPCC.U,” “VPCC” and “VPCC WS,” respectively. We intend to apply to list the Combined Company Common Stock, including shares of the Combined Company Common Stock issued in connection with the Mergers, and VPCC’s Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “DAVE” and “DAVEW” upon the Closing. VPCC will not have Units traded following the Closing. Following the Closing, VPCC intends to change its name to Dave Inc.

VPCC will hold a special meeting of the VPCC Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider matters relating to the proposed Mergers. VPCC and Dave cannot complete the Mergers unless (i) the VPCC Stockholders approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and Combined Company Class V Common Stock to be issued as the merger consideration, and (ii) the Dave Stockholders consent to the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. VPCC is sending you this proxy statement/prospectus to ask you to vote in favor of these and the other matters described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In light of the ongoing developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to protect the health of VPCC Stockholders and the community, the Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders conducted via live audio webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting by visiting [●] and entering your control number as further explained in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF VPCC COMMON STOCK YOU OWN. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of VPCC has approved the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) and recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to the VPCC Stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

You are encouraged to read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. In particular, you should read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 42 for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the proposed Mergers and how it will affect you.

The eligible stockholder list will also be available at the Special Meeting for examination by any stockholder of record present at such meeting.

We are providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to the VPCC Stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournments of the Special Meeting. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by the VPCC Stockholders at the Special Meeting is included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge all of the VPCC Stockholders to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the accompanying financial statements of VPCC and Dave, carefully and in their entirety.

After careful consideration, the VPCC Board has approved the Business Combination and recommends that the VPCC Stockholders vote “FOR” adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, including the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to the VPCC Stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the VPCC Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that VPCC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Please see the sections titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination” and “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Recommendation to VPCC Stockholders” for additional information.

In connection with VPCC’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), the Initial Stockholders of VPCC agreed to vote all shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and any shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, the Initial Stockholders own approximately 20.0% of VPCC’s issued and outstanding common stock, including all of the outstanding shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock.

Pursuant to VPCC’s Existing Charter, a holder of VPCC’s Public Shares (as defined below) may request that VPCC redeem all or a portion of such stockholder’s Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed if, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [●], 2021 (two business days before the Special Meeting), you tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that VPCC redeem your Public Shares for cash to VPCC’s transfer agent.

Holders of units issued in the IPO (“Units”) must elect to separate the underlying shares (“Public Shares”) and warrants (“Public Warrants”) prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the transfer agent directly and instruct it to separate the Units. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares even if they vote “for” the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will not be redeemed for cash. If a Public Stockholder properly exercises its right to redeem its Public Shares and timely delivers its shares to the transfer agent, VPCC will redeem each Public Share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the Closing, including interest not previously released to VPCC to pay its income taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of marketable securities held in the Trust Account as of [●], 2021 of approximately $[●], this would have amounted to approximately $[10.00] per Public Share. If a Public Stockholder exercises its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its redeemed Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. See the section titled “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of such Public Stockholder or any other person with whom such Public Stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without VPCC’s prior consent. Accordingly, if a Public Stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash unless such stockholder first obtains VPCC’s prior consent.

The Merger Agreement provides that the obligation of Dave to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account, following payment to all holders of VPCC Class A Common Stock in connection with VPCC Share Redemptions, plus the amount of funds available to VPCC outside of the Trust Account at the Closing, plus the PIPE Investment Amount and the amount of any alternative financing with respect to the PIPE Investment, on terms and conditions no less favorable in the aggregate than the PIPE Investment (the “VPCC Available Cash”), equaling or exceeding $210,000,000. This minimum cash condition to Closing in the Merger Agreement is for the sole benefit of Dave and may be waived by it. If this condition becomes incapable of being satisfied at the Closing and continues to be incapable of being satisfied at the Closing for a period of 30 business days (after giving effect to any alternative financing that may be arranged with respect to the PIPE Investment), Dave may elect not to consummate the Business Combination and may terminate the Merger Agreement.

In no event will VPCC redeem Public Shares in an amount that would result in its net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being less than $5,000,001. Holders of Public Warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

VPCC’s Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and with respect to any Public Shares they may have held in connection with the Closing and to convert such shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock into shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock in connection with the Closing. The shares of Class B common stock will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price at the time of the redemptions.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposals (on an advisory basis), the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, the Share Issuance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding VPCC shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of VPCC’s shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast by holders of VPCC’s outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting via live audio webcast, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in this proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Share Issuance Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Share Issuance Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Director Election Proposal, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Share Issuance Proposal. The Governance Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on the approval of any other Proposals.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Special Meeting electronically, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote electronically at the Special Meeting, you may withdraw your proxy and vote electronically at the Special Meeting.

Your attention is directed to the proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice (including the annexes thereto) for a more complete description of the Merger Agreement, proposed Business Combination and related transactions and each of the proposals.

Proposal No. 3A—To consider and vote upon an amendment to VPCC’s Existing Charter to increase the total number of authorized shares of all classes of capital stock from 221,000,000 shares to, following the automatic conversion of all VPCC Class B Common Stock into VPCC Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, 610,000,000 shares, which would consist of (a) 500,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, (b) 100,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock and (c) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Proposal No. 3C—To consider and vote upon an amendment to VPCC’s Existing Charter to require, with respect to any vote to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock (but not below the number of shares then outstanding), the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Combined Company entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and no vote of the holders of the VPCC Class A Common Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

Alternatively, it is anticipated that, upon completion of the Transactions, assuming no VPCC Share Redemptions in excess of the amount required to satisfy the minimum cash condition set forth in the Merger Agreement (which we refer to as the “maximum redemption scenario”) and subject to the assumptions set forth below, the concentration of ownership of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Combined Company will be as follows:

The foregoing illustrative ownership percentages of the Combined Company (a) include the 1,586,037 shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock representing the Founder Holder Earnout Shares and (b) assume (1) (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, no Public Shares are elected to be redeemed by VPCC Stockholders and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, all Public Shares are elected to be redeemed by VPCC Stockholders, (2) the issuance of 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock to the PIPE Investors in the PIPE Investment, for aggregate gross proceeds of $210,000,000, (3) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Founder Holder Agreement, on the basis of the assumptions set forth in clause (b) hereof with respect to the PIPE Investment and VPCC Share Redemptions resulting in the surrender (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, of no shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, of no shares of VPCC Class B Common Stock, (4) that immediately after the Closing, the total number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock outstanding will be equal to (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, approximately 322,754,331 and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, approximately 296,426,111 and (5) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase Agreement, on the basis of the assumptions set forth in clause (b) hereof with respect to the VPCC Share Redemptions, resulting in the repurchase (x) in the case of the no redemption scenario, of 6,000,000 shares of Combined Company Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement immediately following the Closing and (y) in the case of the maximum redemption scenario, of no shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

1 State Street Plaza, 30^th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attention: Mark Zimkind

Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Please check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Stockholder Certification” if you are not acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of VPCC Class A Common Stock or VPCC Class B Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 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 Continental and time to effect delivery. It is VPCC’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from Continental. However, VPCC 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.

Holders of outstanding units of VPCC must separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental 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.

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. 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 The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (deposit withdrawal at custodian) 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 on 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.

11

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

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.

12

VPCC 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 VPCC’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. As set forth in the Founder Holder Agreement, the Initial Stockholders have waived any right to any liquidating distributions with respect to the Founder Shares to which they would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3(b)(ii) of VPCC’s Existing Charter.

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

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on the Combined Company’s business, reputation, revenue, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects, in which event the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry

The following risk factors will apply to Dave’s business and operations following the completion of the Business Combination. These risk factors are not exhaustive, and investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of Dave and its business, financial condition and prospects following the completion of the Business Combination. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including matters addressed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Dave may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to it, or that it currently deems immaterial, which may also impair Dave’s business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Dave and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Dave and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the Combined Company and any subsidiaries following the consummation of the Business Combination.

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

The industries in which we compete are highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant changes. We compete against companies and financial institutions across the retail banking, financial services, consumer technology and financial technology services industries, as well as other nonbank lenders serving credit-challenged consumers, including online marketplace lenders, check cashers, point-of-sale lenders and payday lenders. We may compete with others in the market who may in the future provide offerings similar to ours, particularly companies who may provide money management, lending and other services though a platform similar to our platform. These and other competitors in the banking and financial technology industries are introducing innovative products and services that may compete with ours. We expect that this competition will continue as banking and financial technology industries continue to evolve, particularly if non-traditional non-recourse advance providers and other parties gain greater market share in these industries. If we are unable to differentiate our products and platform from and successfully compete with those of our competitors, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

Many existing and potential competitors are entities substantially larger in size, have more resources, are more highly diversified in revenue and substantially more established with significantly more brand awareness than ours. As such, many of our competitors can leverage their size, robust networks, financial wherewithal, brand awareness, pricing power and technological assets to compete with us. To the extent new entrants gain market share, the purchase and use of our products and services would decline. If price competition materially intensifies, we may have to decrease the prices of our products and services, which would likely adversely affect the results of operations.

Our long-term success depends on our ability to compete effectively against existing and potential competitors that seek to provide banking and financial technology products and services. If we fail to compete effectively

42

against these competitors, our revenues, results of operations, prospects for future growth and overall business will be materially and adversely affected.

If we are unable to keep pace with the rapid technological developments in our industry and the larger financial services industry necessary to continue providing our Members with new and innovative products and services, the use of our platform and other products and services could decline.

The financial services industry is subject to rapid and significant technological changes. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes on our business. We expect that new services and technologies applicable to our industry will continue to emerge, and these new services and technologies may be superior to, or render obsolete, the technologies we currently utilize in our products and services. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop new technologies and adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards. These initiatives are inherently risky, and they may not be successful or may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we may make future investments in, or enter into strategic partnerships to develop new technologies and services or to implement infrastructure to further our strategic objectives, strengthen our existing businesses and remain competitive. However, our ability to transition to new services and technologies that we develop may be inhibited by a lack of industry-wide standards, changes to the regulatory landscape, resistance by consumers to these changes, or by the intellectual property rights of third parties.

If the prices we charge for our products and services are unacceptable to our Members, our operating results will be harmed.

We generate revenue by charging Members a fixed monthly rate for membership to our platform as well as additional fees related to optional expedited delivery of advances. Members who obtain a non-recourse advance through our platform also have the option to tip us. We also generate revenue from our Dave banking product through interchange and out-of-network ATM fees, as well as from our job portal service through referral fees from partner companies. As the market for our platform matures, or as new or existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may experience pricing pressure and be unable to retain current Members and attract new Members at prices that are consistent with our pricing model and operating budget. Our pricing strategy for new products and services we introduce may prove to be unappealing to our Members, and our competitors could choose to bundle certain products and services competitive with ours. If this were to occur, it is possible that we would have to change our pricing strategies or reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, gross profits, and operating results.

Our non-recourse cash advances expose us to credit risk of our Members and if our underwriting criteria for making advances is not sufficient to mitigate against this risk, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if a substantial number of our Members fail to repay the cash advance they receive.

Our non-recourse advance product exposes us to financial losses if Members do not repay the advance we provide to them. The timing and volume of advance repayments have a significant impact on our financial results and cash flows. If a large number of Members do not repay advances, our financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected.

Our underwriting standards may not offer adequate protection against the risk of non-payment, especially in periods of economic uncertainty such as has existed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As our cash advances are non-recourse, we have no remedy if a Member fails to repay an advance.

Our ability to accurately forecast performance and determine an appropriate provision and allowance for credit losses, is critical to our business and financial results. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the cash advance portfolio, the composition of the portfolio, specific impaired advances, and current economic conditions. Please see

43

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

There can be no assurance that our performance forecasts will be accurate. In periods with changing economic conditions, accurately forecasting repayment of advances is more difficult. Our allowance for losses is an estimate, and if actual repayment defaults are materially greater than our allowance for losses, or more generally, if our forecasts are not accurate, our financial position, liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. For example, uncertainty surrounding the continuing economic impact of COVID-19 on our Members has made historical information on credit losses slightly less reliable in the current environment, and there can be no assurances that we have accurately estimated repayment rates.

We may not be able to scale our business quickly enough to meet our Members’ growing needs, and if we are not able to grow efficiently, our operating results could be harmed.

As usage of our platform grows and we sign additional strategic partners, we will need to devote additional resources to improving and maintaining our infrastructure and computer network and integrating with third-party applications to maintain the performance of our platform. In addition, we will need to appropriately scale our internal business systems and our services organization, including customer support, risk and compliance operations, and professional services, to serve our growing Members base.

Any failure of or delay in these efforts could result in service interruptions, impaired system performance, and reduced Member satisfaction, which could hurt our revenue growth. If sustained or repeated, performance issues could reduce the attractiveness of our platform to Members and could result in lost Member opportunities, which could hurt our revenue growth, Member loyalty, and our reputation. Even if we are successful in these efforts to scale our business, they will be expensive and complex, and require the dedication of significant management time and attention. We could also face inefficiencies or service disruptions as a result of our efforts to scale our internal infrastructure. We cannot be sure that the expansion and improvements to our internal infrastructure will be effectively implemented on a timely basis, if at all, and such failures could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we are unable to acquire new Members and retain our current members or sell additional functionality and services to them, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenue, in addition to acquiring new Members, we must continue to retain existing members and convince them to expand their use of our platform by increasing the number of members and incenting them to pay for additional functionality. Our ability to retain our Members and increase their usage could be impaired for a variety of reasons, including member reaction to changes in the pricing of our products or the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus. As a result, we may be unable to retain existing Members or increase the usage of our platform by them, which would have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, gross margins, and other operating results, and accordingly, on the trading price of our common stock.

Our ability to sell additional functionality to our existing Members may require more sophisticated and costly sales efforts. Similarly, the rate at which our Members purchase additional products from us depends on several factors, including general economic conditions and the pricing of additional product functionality. If our efforts to sell additional functionality to our Members are not successful, our business and growth prospects would suffer.

Our member subscriptions are open-ended arrangements that can be terminated by the Member without penalty at any time. For us to maintain or improve our operating results, it is important that our members continue to maintain their subscriptions on the same or more favorable terms. We cannot accurately predict renewal or expansion rates given the diversity of our member base in terms of size, industry, and geography. Our renewal and expansion rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of several factors, including member spending levels, member satisfaction with our platform, decreases in the number of members, pricing changes, competitive

44

conditions, the acquisition of our members by other companies, and general economic conditions. If our members do not renew their subscriptions, or if they reduce their usage of our platform, our revenue and other operating results will decline and our business will be adversely affected. If our renewal or expansion rates fall significantly below the expectations of the public market, securities analysts, or investors, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline.

We have limited operating history and face significant challenges as a new entrant in our industry.

We were incorporated in October 2015 and we have a relatively short operating history in the financial services industry, which is continuously evolving. We have limited experience to date in building consumer financial services technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop products and services on our platform that will enable us to meet quality, price and engineering standards, as well as comply with any regulatory standards we may be subject to. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and significant challenges we face as a new entrant in our industry, including, among other things, with respect to our ability to:

If we fail to address any or all of these risks and challenges, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Changes in debit interchange rates could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

We expect interchange revenues from fees charged to merchants by card networks for processing a debit or credit payment to represent a significant percentage of our total operating revenues as adoption of our Dave banking product increases. The amount of interchange revenues that we earn is highly dependent on the interchange rates that the payment networks set and adjust from time to time.

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Board to implement regulations that have substantially limited interchange fees for many debit card issuers. While the interchange rates that may be earned by us are exempt from the limitations imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act, there can be no assurance that future regulation or changes by the payment networks will not impact our interchange revenues substantially. If interchange rates decline, whether due to actions by the payment networks or future regulation, we would likely need to change our fee structure to offset the loss of interchange revenues. To the extent we change the pricing of our Dave banking product, we might find it more difficult to acquire new Members, to maintain or grow Dave banking debit card usage and to retain existing Members. As a result, our total operating revenues, operating results, prospects for future growth and overall business could be materially and adversely affected.

45

If we lose key personnel, if their reputations are damaged, or if we are unable to attract and retain executives and employees we need to support our operations and growth, our business may be harmed.

Our success and future growth depend upon the continued services of our management team and other key employees who are critical to our overall management, as well as the continued development of our products, strategic partnerships, our culture and our strategic direction. Our business may also be adversely affected by the departure of members of our senior management team who have, over the years, developed long standing and favorable relationships with our bank sponsor and key payment processing and technology service providers. We currently do not have “key person” insurance on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of our senior management team members or other key employees could disrupt or harm our business, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees or that we would be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart.

If we fail to offer high-quality customer support, or if our support is more expensive than anticipated, our business and reputation could suffer.

Our Members rely on our customer support services to resolve issues and realize the full benefits provided by our platform. High-quality support is also important for the renewal and expansion of our subscriptions with existing Members. We primarily provide customer support over chat and email. If we do not help our Members quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if our support personnel or methods of providing support are insufficient to meet the needs of our Members, our ability to retain Members, increase adoption by our existing Members and acquire new Members could suffer, and our reputation with existing or potential Members could be harmed. If we are not able to meet the customer support needs of our Members by chat and email during the hours that we currently provide support, we may need to increase our support coverage and provide additional phone-based support, which may reduce our profitability.

We offer a number of free products and services to drive awareness, usage and adoption of all our products and services. If these marketing strategies are unsuccessful, our ability to grow our revenue will be adversely affected.

To encourage awareness, usage, familiarity and adoption of our platform, products and services, we offer a number of free products and services. These strategies may not be successful in leading users to become paid Members, use our revenue generating products or services, or contribute voluntary tips. To the extent that we are unable to generate revenue from new memberships or the use of our products and services, we will not realize the intended benefits of these marketing strategies and our ability to grow our revenue will be adversely affected.

If our present or any future key banking relationships are terminated and we are not able to secure or successfully migrate client portfolios to a new bank partner or partners, our business would be adversely affected.

We rely on agreements with Evolve Bank & Trust (“Evolve Bank”) to provide deposit accounts, debit card services and other transaction services to us and our Members. These agreements and corresponding regulations governing banks and financial institutions may give Evolve Bank substantial discretion in approving certain aspects of our business practices, including our application and qualification procedures for Members and require us to comply with certain legal requirements. Evolve Bank’s discretionary actions under these agreements could impose material limitations to, or have a material adverse effect on, our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our relationship with Evolve Bank is terminated, we would need to find another financial institution to provide those services, which could be difficult and expensive. If we are unable to find a replacement financial institution to provide the services we receive from Evolve Bank, we would not be able to service our deposit accounts, debit cards and other services, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our financial results could be adversely affected if our costs associated with using Evolve Bank materially change or if any penalty or claim for damages is imposed as a result of our breach of our agreements with them or their other requirements.

46

Our recent rapid growth, including growth in our volume of payments, may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may not be able to manage our growth effectively. Our rapid growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

Our operating revenues increased from $76.2 million in 2019 to $121.8 million in 2020. Although we have recently experienced significant growth in our revenue and transaction volume, even if our revenue continues to increase, we expect our growth rate will decline in the future as a result of a variety of factors, including the increasing scale of our business. Overall growth of our revenue depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

We may not successfully accomplish any of these objectives, which makes it difficult for us to forecast our future operating results. If the assumptions that we use to plan our business are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our market, or if we are unable to maintain consistent revenue or revenue growth, it may be difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. You should not rely on our revenue from any prior quarterly or annual periods as any indication of our future revenue or revenue or payment growth.

In addition, we expect to continue to expand substantial financial and other resources on:

These investments may not result in increased revenue growth in our business. If we are unable to increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, or if we encounter difficulties in managing a growing volume of payments, our business, financial position and operating results will be adversely affected, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability over the long term.

We have historically incurred losses in the operation of our business. We may never achieve or sustain profitability.

Since incorporation in October 2015, we have been engaged in growth activities related to building our business, which requires substantial capital and other expenditures. We incurred net loss in fiscal year 2020, and we may incur losses again in the future. We expect our cash needs to increase significantly for the next several years as we:

47

As a result of these continuing costs and expenses, we need to generate significant revenues to attain and maintain profitability and positive cash flow. To date, our operations have been supported by equity and debt financings. If we do not continue to increase our revenues, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings, sales of memberships to our platform, optional expedited processing fees and Member tips. We cannot be certain when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business, which may require us to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds.

We expect that following the Closing, we will have sufficient capital to fund our planned operations for the next 18 months. We may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity related or debt securities, or through obtaining credit from government, financial institutions or other lenders. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Our operating results may fluctuate in the future.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations may fluctuate in the future, which may adversely affect our stock price following the Business Combination. Fluctuations in our quarterly or annual results of operations might result from a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including, but not limited to:

48

Fraudulent and other illegal activity involving our products and services could lead to reputational damage to us, reduce the use of our platform and services and may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities using deposit account products or Member information. Illegal activities involving products and services like ours often include malicious social engineering schemes. Illegal activities may also include fraudulent payment or refund schemes and identity theft. We rely upon third parties for transaction processing services, which subjects us and our Members to risks related to the vulnerabilities of those third parties. A single significant incident of fraud, or increases in the overall level of fraud, involving our products and services, have in the past and could in the future, result in reputational damage to us. Such damage could reduce the use and acceptance of our products and services, cause our banking and strategic partners to cease doing business with us, or lead to greater regulation that would increase our compliance costs. Fraudulent activity could also result in the imposition of regulatory sanctions, including significant monetary fines, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, to address the challenges we face with respect to fraudulent activity, we have implemented risk control mechanisms that have made it more difficult for all Members, including legitimate Members, to obtain and use our Dave banking product. We believe it is likely that our risk control mechanisms may continue to adversely affect the growth of our Dave banking product for the foreseeable future and that our operating revenues will be negatively impacted as a result.

We are exposed to losses from Dave banking Member accounts.

Fraudulent activity involving our Dave banking account may lead to Member disputed transactions, for which we may be liable under banking regulations and payment network rules. Our fraud detection and risk control mechanisms may not prevent all fraudulent or illegal activity. To the extent we incur losses from disputed transactions, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, our Members can incur charges in excess of the funds available in their accounts, and we may become liable for these overdrafts. While we decline authorization attempts for amounts that exceed the available balance in a Member’s account, the application of payment network rules and the timing of the settlement of transactions, among other things, can result in overdrawn accounts.

Our remaining overdraft exposure arises primarily from late-posting. A late-post occurs when a merchant posts a transaction within a payment network-permitted timeframe, but subsequent to our release of the authorization for

49

that transaction, as permitted by payment network rules. Under payment network rules, we may be liable for the transaction amount even if the Member has made additional purchases in the intervening period and funds are no longer available in the Member’s account at the time the transaction is posted.

We transfer funds to our Members daily, which in the aggregate comprise substantial sums, and are subject to the risk of errors, which could result in financial losses, damage to our reputation, or loss of trust in our brand, which would harm our business and financial results.

We have grown rapidly and seek to continue to grow, and although we maintain a robust and multi-faceted risk management process, our business is always subject to the risk of financial losses as a result of operational errors, software defects, service disruption, employee misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors on our platform. Software errors in our platform and operational errors by our employees may also expose us to losses.

Moreover, our trustworthiness and reputation are fundamental to our business. The occurrence of any operational errors, software defects, service disruption, employee misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors on our platform could result in financial losses to our business and our Members, loss of trust, damage to our reputation, or termination of our agreements with strategic partners and accountants, each of which could result in:

Although we maintain insurance to cover losses resulting from our errors and omissions, there can be no assurance that our insurance will cover all losses or our coverage will be sufficient to cover our losses. If we suffer significant losses or reputational harm as a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Cyberattacks and other security breaches or disruptions suffered by us or third parties upon which we rely could have a materially adverse effect on our business, harm our reputation and expose us to public scrutiny and liability.

In the normal course of business, we collect, process, use and retain sensitive and confidential information regarding our Members and prospective Members, including data provided by and related to Members and their transactions, as well as other data of the counterparties to their payments. We also have arrangements in place with certain third-party service providers that require us to share consumer information. Information security risks in the financial services industry continue to increase generally, in part because of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and activities of organized criminals, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and other malicious third parties. In addition to cyberattacks and other security breaches involving the theft of sensitive and confidential information, hackers, terrorists, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors and other malicious third parties recently have engaged in attacks that are designed to disrupt key business services, such as consumer-facing websites.

These cybersecurity challenges, including threats to our own IT infrastructure or those of our Members or third-party providers, may take a variety of forms ranging from stolen bank accounts, business email compromise, user fraud, account takeover, check fraud or cybersecurity attacks, such as ransomware, unauthorized encryption,

50

denial-of-service attacks, social engineering, unauthorized access, spam or other attacks, to “mega breaches” targeted against cloud-based services and other hosted software, which could be initiated by individual or groups of hackers or sophisticated cyber criminals. A cybersecurity incident or breach could result in disclosure of confidential information and intellectual property, or cause service interruptions and compromised data. We may be unable to anticipate or prevent techniques used in the future to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems because they change frequently and often are not detected until after an incident has occurred. We have administrative, technical, and physical security measures in place, and we have policies and procedures in place to contractually require service providers to whom we disclose data to implement and maintain reasonable privacy and security measures. Despite our security measures, and those of our third-party vendors, our information technology and infrastructure has experienced breaches and may be subject or vulnerable in the future to breaches or attacks. If our own confidential business information were improperly disclosed, our business could be materially and adversely affected. A core aspect of our business is the reliability and security of our platform. Any perceived or actual breach of security, regardless of how it occurs or the extent of the breach, could have a significant impact on our reputation as a trusted brand, cause us to lose existing partners or members, prevent us from obtaining new partners and members, require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by breaches and implement measures to prevent further breaches, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability including from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation and other lawsuits. If sensitive information is lost or improperly disclosed through a data breach or otherwise or threatened to be disclosed, we could experience a loss of confidence by our partners and members in the security of our systems, products and services and prevent us from obtaining new partners and members, and we could incur significant costs to remedy problems caused by breaches and implement measures to prevent further breaches, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability and penalties, including from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation and other lawsuits , all of which could adversely affect our reputation and our operating results. Any actual or perceived security breach at a company providing services to us or our Members could have similar effects.

Most jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals, regulatory authorities and others of security breaches involving certain types of data. In addition, our agreements with certain partners and service providers may require us to notify them in the event of a security breach. Such mandatory disclosures are costly, could lead to negative publicity, may cause our Members to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our security measures and require us to expend significant capital and other resources to respond to and/or alleviate problems caused by the actual or perceived security breach. A security breach of any of our vendors that processes personally identifiable information of our Members may pose similar risks.

In May 2020, an unauthorized third party attempted to gain access to Dave Member accounts and was able to access Member profiles and Members’ partial or incomplete bank account information. We did not uncover any evidence that the attacker was able to take any actions with respect to the data, other than gaining read access to it, nor do we believe any unauthorized transactions were made or advances requested on the Dave system. We provided notice to relevant parties as required under applicable law and agreements and took steps to set up alerts to detect abnormal request volumes and introduced rate limiting at the IP address level. In addition, in June 2020, we were notified of an unauthorized third party breach of our Dave database. The third party was able to access to Dave’s system by breaching the system of one of Dave’s third party service providers. The attacker was able to download a large data set, including encrypted social security numbers for some Members; however, there was no evidence that unauthorized transactions were made or advances requested on the Dave system, nor do we believe that the third party gained access to decryption keys or was otherwise able to decrypt encrypted information. We took remedial measures, including the engagement of an outside security consultant to monitor for ongoing dark web activity and to conduct a security audit and incident investigation, and notified relevant parties as required under applicable law and agreements. As we have increased our Member base and our brand has become more widely known and recognized, third parties may continue to seek to compromise our security controls or gain unauthorized access to our sensitive corporate information or our Members’ data.

If our banking partner or other strategic partners were to conclude that our systems and procedures are insufficiently rigorous, they could terminate their relationships with us, and our financial results and business

51

could be adversely affected. Under our terms of service and our contracts with strategic partners, if there is a breach of nonpublic personal information of our Members that we store, we could be liable to the partner for their losses and related expenses.

While we maintain cybersecurity insurance, our insurance may be insufficient or may not cover all liabilities incurred by such attacks. We also cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data handling or data security liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

We guarantee certain obligations of one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, which guaranty is secured by a first-priority lien against substantially all of our assets, and contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions, which could limit our operational flexibility and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.

One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Dave OD Funding I, LLC (“Dave OD Funding”), has a senior secured credit facility with Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC and certain of its affiliates, which are affiliates of VPCC (the “Credit Facility”). We have guaranteed up to $25,000,000 of Dave OD Funding’s obligations under the Credit Facility, and currently that limited guaranty is secured by a first-priority lien against substantially all of our assets. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants and other restrictions on our actions, which could limit our operational flexibility and otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.

We depend upon several third-party service providers for processing our transactions and provide other important services for our business. If any of our agreements with our processing providers are terminated or if we experience any interruption or delay in the services provided by our third-party service providers, delivery of our products and services could be impaired or suspended and our business could suffer.

Our business involves processing of large numbers of transactions and management of the data necessary to do so. Our success depends upon the efficient and error-free handling of the money that is collected, remitted or deposited in connection with the provision of our products and services. We rely on the ability of our vendors and third-parties to process and facilitate these transactions, including ACH processing (as we are not a bank), and debit card payment processing, in an efficient, uninterrupted and error-free manner. We also rely on third-party service providers to perform various functions relating to our business, including software development, marketing, operational functions, fraud detection, cloud infrastructure services, information technology, data analysis, and, because we are not a bank and cannot belong or directly access the ACH payment network, ACH processing, and debit card payment processing.

While we oversee these service providers to ensure they provide services in accordance with our agreements and regulatory requirements, we do not have control over the operations of any of the third-party service providers that we utilize. In the event that a third-party service provider for any reason fails to perform such functions, including negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunication failures, software and hardware defects, terrorist attacks and similar events, our ability to process payments and perform other operational functions for which we currently rely on such third-party service providers will suffer and our business, cash flows and future prospects may be negatively impacted.

We use both internally developed and third-party systems, including cloud computing and storage systems, for our services and certain aspects of transaction processing. Any damage to, or failure of, third party computer network systems or data centers generally, or those of our vendors (including as a result of disruptions at our third-party data center hosting facilities and cloud providers), or an improper action by our employees, agents or third-party vendors, could result in interruptions in our services, causing Members and other partners to become

52

dissatisfied with our products and services or obligate us to issue refunds or pay fines or other penalties to them. Sustained or repeated system failures could reduce the attractiveness of our products and services, and result in Member attrition, thereby reducing operating revenue and harming our results of operations. Further, negative publicity arising from these types of disruptions could be damaging to our reputation and may adversely impact use of our products and services, including our platform, and adversely affect our ability to attract new Members and business partners.

If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate less revenue and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

Our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting our proprietary technology and rights. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate. Any of our trademarks or other intellectual property rights may be challenged or circumvented by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products and use information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with ours.

No assurance can be given that the contractual agreements we enter into to establish and protect our proprietary rights will be effective in controlling access to and distribution of our products and proprietary information. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors or partners from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our platform.

Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Our platform and our internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex. In addition, our platform and our internal systems depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process, and manage immense amounts of data. As a result, undetected errors, failures, bugs, or defects may be present in such software or occur in the future in such software, including open source software and other software we license in from third parties, especially when updates or new products or services are released.

Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or defects in the software may not be found until our consumers use our platform and could result in outages or degraded quality of service on our platform that could adversely impact our business, as well as negative publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and services, and harm to our brand or weakening of our competitive position. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose, to expend significant additional resources in order to correct the problem. Any real or perceived errors, failures, bugs, or defects in the software we rely on could also subject us to liability claims, impair our ability to attract new consumers, retain existing consumers, or expand their use of our products and services, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Dave’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Many of Dave’s senior management team have limited experience in the management of a publicly-traded company. The management team may not successfully or effectively manage the transition to a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities, which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of the company’s operations. Dave may not have adequate personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in accounting policies, compliance practices or internal controls required of public companies. The development and implementation of the standards and controls and the hiring of experienced personnel necessary

53

to achieve the level of accounting standards required of a public company may require expenditures greater than expected, and a delay could impact Dave’s ability or prevent it from accurately and timely reporting its operating results, timely filing required reports with the SEC and complying with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). It is possible that Dave will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company, which will increase its operating costs in future periods.

Dave identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If Dave is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if it identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect Dave’s business and share price.

In connection with the preparation and audits of Dave’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, material weaknesses were identified in Dave’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. These material weaknesses are as follows:

These control deficiencies did not result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements in 2020 and 2019. However, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected.

Dave has begun implementation of a plan to remediate the material weaknesses described above. Those remediation measures are ongoing and include (i) hiring additional accounting and IT personnel to bolster its technical reporting, transactional accounting and IT capabilities; (ii) designing and implementing controls to formalize roles and review responsibilities and designing and implementing formal controls over segregation of duties; (iii) designing and implementing formal processes, accounting policies, procedures, and controls supporting Dave’s financial close process, including creating standard balance sheet reconciliation templates and journal entry controls; and (iv) designing and implementing IT general controls, including controls over change management, the review and update of user access rights and privileges and computer operations controls.

While Dave believes these efforts will remediate the material weaknesses, Dave may not be able to complete its evaluation, testing or any required remediation in a timely fashion, or at all. Dave cannot assure you that the

54

measures it has taken to date and may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to its material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. The effectiveness of Dave’s internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If Dave is unable to remediate the material weakness, Dave’s ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, to may adversely affect Dave’s reputation and business and the market price of the Combined Company. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of Dave’s securities and harm to Dave’s reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of Dave’s business.

Dave’s forecasted operating results and projections rely in large part upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Dave’s management. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Dave’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected.

Dave’s forecasted operating results and projections are subject to significant uncertainty and rely in large part upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by Dave’s management, any or all of which may not prove to be correct or accurate. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, Dave’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected. Realization of the results forecasted will depend on the successful implementation by the Combined Company of Dave’s proposed business plan, and policies and procedures consistent with the assumptions. Future results will also be affected by events and circumstances beyond the Combined Company’s control. For example, the competitive environment, the Combined Company’s executive team, rapid technological change, general economic conditions, governmental regulation, uncertainties inherent in product development, Dave’s future financing needs and its ability to grow and to manage growth effectively. In particular, Dave’s forecasts and projections include forecasts and estimates relating to the pricing of its products and expected size and growth of the markets in which Dave operates or seeks to enter. See “Risk Factors — If the prices we charge for our products and services are unacceptable to our Members, our operating results will be harmed.” Dave’s forecasts and projections also assume that Dave is able to acquire new Members and retain current Members. See “Risk Factors — If we are unable to acquire new Members and retain our current members or sell additional functionality and services to them, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.” For the reasons described above, and as set forth elsewhere in these Risk Factors, it is likely that the actual results of Dave’s operations will be different from the results forecasted and those differences may be material and adverse. The forecasts were prepared by Dave’s management and have not been certified or examined by an accountant. Neither VPCC nor Dave has any duty to update the financial projections included in this proxy statement/prospectus.

We strive to deliver simple, transparent, and fair financial products, which may conflict with the short term interests of our stockholders.

Our core principle, and the foundation on which we have built our company, is to deliver simple, transparent, and fair financial products. Therefore, we have made in the past, and may make in the future, decisions that we believe will benefit our Members and therefore provide long-term benefits for our business, even if our decision negatively impacts our short-term results of operations. For example, the advances facilitated through our platform are non-recourse and currently have no mandatory fees. Our decisions may negatively impact our short-term financial results or not provide the long-term benefits that we expect, in which case the success of our business and results of operations could be harmed.

55

Negative publicity about us or our industry could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Negative publicity about us or our industry, including the transparency, fairness, Member experience, quality, and reliability of our platform or consumer fintech platforms in general, effectiveness of our risk models, our ability to effectively manage and resolve complaints, our privacy and security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, misconduct by our employees, funding sources, bank partners, service providers, or others in our industry, the experience of consumers with our platform or services, even if inaccurate, could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in, and the use of, our platform, which could harm our reputation and cause disruptions to our platform. Any such reputational harm could further affect the behavior of consumers, including their willingness to obtain advances, deposit accounts, and other products and services facilitated through our platform. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects would be materially and adversely affected.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar epidemics or adverse public health developments, including government responses to such events.

There are many uncertainties regarding the current global pandemic involving a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), and the Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it has and may in the future impact its Members, employees, suppliers, vendors, and business partners. The duration and magnitude of the continuing effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Members remain uncertain and dependent on various factors, including the continued severity and transmission rate of the virus, new variants of the virus, the nature of and duration for which preventative measures remain in place, the extent and effectiveness of containment and mitigation efforts, including vaccination programs, and the type of stimulus measures and other policy responses that the U.S. government may further adopt.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company’s business and operations were disrupted by the conditions caused by COVID-19, which adversely affected Members’ spending levels and disposable income. Governmental actions such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) helped mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s Members. In particular, stimulus funds and incremental unemployment benefits provided under the CARES Act created additional financial support for the Company’s Members; however, the overall economic conditions potentially increases Members’ credit risk. Economic conditions that affect personal finances of members could also impact repayment of non-recourse advances that we make to our members. The Company is concurrently evaluating its policies around the level and extent of Members’ cash advances and corresponding credit risk. The Company expects to continue to assess the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and intends to make adjustments to its responses accordingly.

Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused volatility in financial and other capital markets, which may adversely affect our stock price following the Business Combination and our ability to access capital markets in the future.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business may be harmed.

We believe our culture has been a key contributor to our success to date and that the nature of the platform that we provide promotes a sense of greater purpose and fulfillment in our employees. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture. If we fail to maintain our company culture, our business and competitive position may be adversely affected.

We use open source software in our products, which could subject us to litigation or other actions.

We use open source software in our products. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate it into their products. As a result, we could

56

be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Litigation could be costly for us to defend, have a negative effect on our operating results and financial condition, or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our products. In addition, if we were to combine our proprietary software products with open source software in a certain manner under certain open source licenses, we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary software products. If we inappropriately use or incorporate open source software subject to certain types of open source licenses that challenge the proprietary nature of our products, we may be required to re-engineer such products, discontinue the sale of such products, or take other remedial actions.

Natural catastrophic events, pandemics and man-made problems such as power-disruptions, computer viruses, data security breaches, and terrorism may disrupt our business.

Natural disasters, pandemics such as COVID-19, or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have a large employee presence in Los Angeles, California, and our data centers are located in Iowa. The west coast of the United States contains active earthquake zones and the greater Los Angeles area has experienced major fire danger in the past five years and may experience major fires in the future. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, vandalism, cyber-attack, war, or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our application development, lengthy interruptions in the availability of our products and services, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Additionally, as computer malware, viruses, and computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts, and phishing attacks have become more prevalent, we, and third parties upon which we rely, face increased risk in maintaining the performance, reliability, security, and availability of our solutions and related services and technical infrastructure to the satisfaction of our Members. Any computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, fraudulent use attempts, phishing attacks, or other data security breaches related to our network infrastructure or information technology systems or to computer hardware we lease from third parties, could, among other things, harm our reputation and our ability to retain existing Members and attract new Members.

In addition, the insurance we maintain may be insufficient to cover our losses resulting from disasters, cyber-attacks, or other business interruptions, and any incidents may result in loss of, or increased costs of, such insurance.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters

We operate in an uncertain regulatory environment and may from time to time be subject to governmental investigations or other inquiries by state, federal and local governmental authorities.

Determinations of compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements can be highly technical and subject to varying interpretations. From time to time we become aware of instances where our products and services have not fully complied with requirements under applicable laws and regulations. When we become aware of such an instance, whether as a result of our compliance reviews, regulatory inquiry, Member complaint or otherwise, we generally conduct a review of the activity in question and determine how to address it, such as modifying the product, making Member refunds or taking other remedial actions

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, rules and guidance, or any finding that our past forms, practices, processes, procedures, controls or infrastructure were insufficient or not in compliance, could subject us to regulatory enforcement actions, result in the assessment against us of civil, monetary, criminal or other penalties (some of which could be significant in the case of knowing or reckless violations), result in the issuance of cease and desist orders (which can include orders for restitution, as well as other kinds of affirmative relief), require us to refund payments, interest or fees, result in a determination that certain financial products are not

57

collectible, result in a suspension or revocation of licenses or authorization to transact business, result in a finding that we have engaged in unfair and deceptive acts or practices, limit our access to services provided by third-party financial institutions or cause damage to our reputation, brands and valued Member relationships. We may also incur additional, substantial expenses to bring those products and services into compliance with the laws of various jurisdictions or as a result choose to stop offering certain products and services in certain jurisdictions.

Our failure to comply with any regulations, rules, or guidance applicable to our business could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, changes to, or the discontinuation of, certain products and services necessary to maintain compliance with regulatory and legal requirements or to adequately manage compliance-related risks may result in corresponding changes to or limitations on the fees we can charge and other sources of revenue we currently rely upon. Such failures or changes to our products, services or business may have substantial adverse effects on our prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could prohibit or directly or indirectly impair our ability to continue current operations.

The financial services industry continues to be targeted by new laws or regulations in many jurisdictions, including the U.S. states in which we operate, that could restrict the products and services we offer, impose additional compliance costs on us, render our current operations unprofitable or even prohibit our current operations.

We are required to comply with frequently changing federal, state, and local laws and regulations that regulate, among other things, the terms of the financial products and services we offer. New laws or regulations may require us to incur significant expenses to ensure compliance. Federal and state regulators of consumer financial products and services are also enforcing existing laws, regulations, and rules more aggressively, and enhancing their supervisory expectations regarding the management of legal and regulatory compliance risks. For example, State attorneys general have indicated that they will take a more active role in enforcing consumer protection laws, including through the establishment of state consumer protection agencies as well as the use of Dodd-Frank Act provisions that authorize state attorneys general to enforce certain provisions of federal consumer financial laws and obtain civil money penalties and other relief available to the CFPB.

In addition, regulators are interpreting existing laws, regulations and rules in new and different ways as they attempt to apply them to novel products and business models such as ours. Changes in the laws, regulations and enforcement priorities applicable to our business, or changes in the way existing laws and regulations are interpreted and applied to us, could have a material impact on our business model, operations and financial position. In some cases, these measures could even directly prohibit some or all of our current business activities in certain jurisdictions or render them unprofitable and/or impractical to continue.

The application of traditional federal and state consumer protection statutes and related regulations to innovative products offered by financial technology companies such as us is often uncertain, evolving and unsettled. To the extent that our products are deemed to be subject to any such laws, we could be subject to additional compliance obligations, including state licensing requirements, disclosure requirements and usury or fee limitations, among other things. Application of such requirements and restrictions to our products and services could require us to make significant changes to our business practices (which may increase our operating expenses and/or decrease revenue) and, in the event of retroactive application of such laws, subject us to litigation or enforcement actions that could result in the payment of damages, restitution, monetary penalties, injunctive restrictions, or other sanctions, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations.

Further, we may not be able to respond quickly or effectively to regulatory, legislative, and other developments, and these changes may in turn impair our ability to offer our existing or planned features, products, and services and/or increase our cost of doing business. In addition, we expect to continue to launch new products and services in the coming years, which may subject us to additional legal and regulatory requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations. To the extent the application of these laws or regulations to our new

58

offerings is unclear or evolving, including changing interpretations and the implementation of new or varying regulatory requirements by federal or state governments and regulators, this may significantly affect or change our proposed business model, increase our operating expenses and hinder or delay our anticipated launch timelines for new products and services.

If we were to become directly subject to banking regulations or be subjected to additional third-party risk management obligations, our business model may need to be substantially altered and we may not be able to continue to operate our business as it is currently operated.

We are not currently subject to laws and regulations applicable to traditional banks. However, banking products made available through us by our bank partner remain subject to regulation and supervision by our bank partner’s regulators and we, as a service provider to our bank partner, undertake certain compliance obligations. If we were to become directly subject to banking regulations or if the third-party risk management requirements applicable to us were to change, our business model may need to be substantially altered and we may not be able to continue to operate our business as it is currently operated. Failure by us, or any of our business partners, to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Our business is subject to extensive regulation and oversight in a variety of areas, including registration and licensing requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations.

We are subject to extensive regulation under United States federal and state laws and regulations. Regulators have broad discretion with respect to the interpretation, implementation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations, including through enforcement actions that could subject us to civil money penalties, Member remediations, increased compliance costs, and limits or prohibitions on our ability to offer certain products or services or to engage in certain activities. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with any of these laws or regulations could subject us to lawsuits or governmental actions and/or damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Moreover, any competitors subject to different, or in some cases less restrictive, legislative or regulatory regimes may have or obtain a competitive advantage over us.

We are subject to the regulatory and enforcement authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which oversees compliance with federal consumer financial protection laws. In addition, our partnership with Evolve Bank is subject to the supervisory authority of the Federal Reserve, which is Evolve Bank’s primary federal bank regulator.

In June 2020, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) notifying us that the CFPB had opened a non-public investigation into various aspects of our non-recourse cash paycheck advance business in compliance with the prohibition against UDAAPs, the EFTA, and, to the extent it applies, the Truth in Lending Act. We have provided to the CFPB all of the information and documents required by the CID and intend to continue to fully cooperate with the CFPB in its investigation. The investigation is ongoing and any potential impact on our financial condition or operations are unknown at this time. The CFPB has broad enforcement powers, and upon determining a violation of applicable law has occurred can order, among other things, rescission or reformation of contracts, the refund of moneys, restitution, disgorgement or compensation for unjust enrichment, the payment of damages or other monetary relief, public notifications regarding violations, limits on activities or functions, remediation of practices, external compliance monitoring and civil money penalties. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this CFPB investigation, including whether the investigation will result in any action, proceeding, fines or penalties against us. The cost of responding to investigations can be substantial and an adverse resolution to an investigation, including a consent order or other settlement, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and future prospects.

We have been and may in the future also be subject to investigations and potential enforcement actions that may be brought by state regulatory authorities, state attorneys general or other state enforcement authorities and other

59

governmental agencies. Any such actions could subject us to civil money penalties and fines, Member remediations, and increased compliance costs, damage our reputation and brand and limit or prohibit our ability to offer certain products and services or engage in certain business practices. Further, in some cases, regardless of fault, it may be less time-consuming or costly to settle these matters, which may require us to implement certain changes to our business practices, provide remediation to certain individuals or make a settlement payment to a given party or regulatory body.

If we were found to be operating without having obtained necessary state or local licenses, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects.

Certain states have adopted laws regulating and requiring licensing, registration, notice filing, or other approval by parties that engage in certain activities regarding consumer finance transactions. We have also received inquiries from state regulatory agencies regarding requirements to obtain licenses from or register with those states, including in states where we have determined that we are not required to obtain such a license or be registered with the state, and we expect to continue to receive such inquiries. The application of some consumer financial licensing laws to our platform and the related activities it performs is unclear. In addition, state licensing requirements may evolve over time, including, in particular, recent trends in legislation seeking to impose licensing requirements and regulation of parties engaged in non-recourse advance activities.

If we were found to be in violation of applicable state licensing requirements by a court or a state, federal, or local enforcement agency, or agree to resolve such concerns by voluntary agreement, we could be subject to or agree to pay fines, damages, injunctive relief (including required modification or discontinuation of our business in certain areas), criminal penalties, and other penalties or consequences, and the non-recourse advances facilitated through our platform could be rendered void in whole or in part, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, we have received and responded to inquiries from the New York Department of Financial Services in connection with a multi-state investigation of nonrecourse advance and early wage access companies, as well as the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions, in each case regarding whether the non-recourse advance products we offer in those states should subject us to state licensing and related requirements. In August 2021, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“CA DFPI”). The MOU requires us to provide the CA DFPI with certain information as requested by the CA DFPI and adhere to certain best practices in connection with our non-recourse cash advance product (including certain disclosures related to us not being licensed by the CA DFPI).

Stringent and changing laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection could result in claims, harm our results of operations, financial condition, and future prospects, or otherwise harm our business.

We are subject to a variety of laws, rules, directives, and regulations, as well as contractual obligations, relating to the processing of personal information, including personally identifiable information. The regulatory framework for privacy and data protection worldwide is rapidly evolving and, as a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to continue to evolve for the foreseeable future. Legislators and regulators are increasingly adopting or revising privacy and data protection laws, rules, directives, and regulations that could have a significant impact on our current and planned privacy and data protection-related practices; our processing of consumer or employee information; and our current or planned business activities.

Compliance with current or future privacy and data protection laws (including those regarding security breach notification) affecting consumer and/or employee data to which we are subject could result in higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain products and services (such as products or services that involve us sharing information with third parties or storing sensitive information), which could materially and adversely affect our profitability and could reduce income from certain business initiatives.

Our failure, or the failure of any third party with whom we work, to comply with privacy and data protection laws could result in potentially significant regulatory investigations and government actions, litigations, fines, or sanctions, consumer, funding source, or bank partner actions, and damage to our reputation and brand, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Complying with privacy and data protection laws

60

and regulations may cause us to incur substantial operational costs or require us to change our business practices. We may not be successful in our efforts to achieve compliance either due to internal or external factors, such as resource allocation limitations or a lack of vendor cooperation. We have in the past, and may in the future, receive complaints or notifications from third parties alleging that we have violated applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations. Non-compliance could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities, consumers, data subjects, or others. We may also experience difficulty retaining or obtaining new consumers in these jurisdictions due to the legal requirements, compliance cost, potential risk exposure, and uncertainty for these entities, and we may experience significantly increased liability with respect to these consumers.

In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that may apply to us. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, and other standards are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws, rules, regulations, and other actual or alleged legal obligations, such as contractual or self-regulatory obligations, may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the functionality of our platform. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our software, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal, or contractual obligations, industry standards, or regulatory guidance relating to privacy or data security, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity, and could cause our Members and partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, marketing, consumer communications, and information security, and we cannot determine the impact such future laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards, and other obligations or any changed interpretation of existing laws or regulations could impair our ability to develop and market new functionality and maintain and grow our Member base and increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing, or disclosure of data, or additional requirements for express or implied consent of our Members, partners, or end users for the use and disclosure of such information could require us to incur additional costs or modify our platform, possibly in a material manner, and could limit our ability to develop new functionality.

If we are not able to comply with these laws or regulations, or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could be directly harmed, and we may be forced to implement new measures to reduce our exposure to this liability. This may require us to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain products, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, the increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect the growth of our business. Furthermore, any costs incurred as a result of this potential liability could harm our operating results.

Any future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.

We have in the past and may in the future become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our Members in connection with commercial disputes, employment claims made by our current or former employees, or claims for reimbursement following misappropriation of Member data. Litigation might result in substantial costs and may divert management’s attention and resources, which might seriously harm our business, overall financial condition, and operating results. Insurance might not cover such claims, might not provide sufficient payments to cover all the costs to resolve one or more such claims, and might not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us. A claim brought against us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby reducing our operating results and leading analysts or potential investors to reduce their expectations of our performance, which could reduce the trading price of our stock following the Business Combination.

Risks Related to Ownership of the Combined Company Common Stock after the Closing of the Business Combination

The dual class structure of the Combined Company Common Stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with Jason Wilk, Dave’s founder, members of the Combined Company Board and its Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively. This will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

Shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock will have 10 votes per share, while shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will have one vote per share. Jason Wilk, Dave’s co-founder and its Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, will hold all of the issued and outstanding shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock following the Closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Mr. Wilk will hold approximately 70.2% of the voting power of the Combined Company’s capital stock on a fully-diluted basis (assuming, among other things, that no public shareholders elect to have their public shares redeemed) and will be able to control matters submitted to its stockholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of its organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Combined Company’s assets or other major corporate transactions. Mr. Wilk may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of the Combined Company, could deprive its stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of the Combined Company and might ultimately affect the market price of shares of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock. For information about the Combined Company’s dual class structure, see the section titled “Description of Securities.”

The Combined Company’s dual class structure may depress the trading price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

The Combined Company cannot predict whether its dual class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indexes. S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, pursuant to which companies with multiple classes of shares of common stock are excluded. In addition, several stockholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual class structure of the Combined Company’s Common Stock may cause stockholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about the Combined Company’s corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause the Combined Company to change its capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices or any actions or publications by stockholder advisory firms critical of the Combined Company’s corporate governance practices or capital structure could adversely affect the value and trading market of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

There can be no assurance that Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be able to comply with the listing standards of Nasdaq.

VPCC’s Units, VPCC Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants are currently listed on the NYSE and, in connection with the Closing, we intend to list the Combined Company Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols “DAVE” and “DAVEW.” The Combined Company’s eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of Public Shares that are redeemed. There can be no assurance that Combined Company will be able to comply with the listing standards of Nasdaq. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists the Combined Company’s Class A common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

62

An active trading market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock may never develop or be sustained, which may make it difficult to sell the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock you receive.

Following the Business Combination, the price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination, general market and economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. An active trading market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock may not develop or continue or, if developed, may not be sustained, which would make it difficult for you to sell your shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at an attractive price (or at all). The market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may decline below your deemed purchase price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock at or above that price (or at all). Additionally, if Combined Company Class A Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq for any reason, and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your Combined Company Class A Common Stock unless a market can be established or sustained.

The market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

If an active market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants develops and continues, the trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. The trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants following the Business Combination will depend on many factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to the Combined Company in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants, and Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants may trade at prices significantly below the price you were deemed to have paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants following the Business Combination may include:

63

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants, regardless of our actual operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies that investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock or warrants also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, securities class action litigations have often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require that we make significant payments.

The Combined Company’s issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders.

We expect to issue additional capital stock in the future that will result in dilution to all other stockholders. We expect to grant equity awards to our employees, directors and consultants under our equity incentive plans. We may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of our business strategy, we may acquire or make investments in complementary companies, products or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional capital stock may cause stockholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of Combined Company Common Stock to decline.

64

Future sales of shares by existing stockholders and future exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the public market after the Closing, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your Combined Company Class A Common Stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate. Immediately following the Closing and assuming consummation of the sale of shares pursuant to the PIPE Investment, there will be an estimated 322,754,331 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock outstanding, assuming that none of the VPCC Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, and the Dave Stockholders, the Sponsor and the PIPE Investors will collectively own approximately 92.0% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. Assuming redemptions of all Public Shares (being our estimate of the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination in order to satisfy the related minimum cash condition contained in the Merger Agreement) are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, in the aggregate, the collective ownership of the Dave Stockholders, the Sponsor and the PIPE Investors would rise to an estimated 100% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock as of the Closing. Immediately following the Closing, and assuming the no redemption scenario, we expect that approximately 1.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be held by the Founder Holders.

The Sponsor and VPCC’s executive officers and directors entered into a letter agreement with VPCC, pursuant to which they agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (except to certain permitted transferees) (a) any Founder Shares until one year after the Closing or earlier if subsequent to the Business Combination, (i) the date, which is on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing Date, on which the closing price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination (which clause (a) has been amended by the Founder Holder Agreement) or (ii) the Combined Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Combined Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock for cash, securities or other property and (b) any Private Placement Warrants (or shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock upon exercise thereof) until 30 days after the completion of VPCC’s initial business combination. See the section entitled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Lockup Agreements.”

Neither certain Dave Stockholders nor the PIPE Investors will be restricted from selling any of their shares of our Combined Company Class A Common Stock following the Closing, other than pursuant to the lock-up described below or by applicable securities laws. Sales of substantial amounts of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the public market after the Business Combination, or the perception that such sales will occur, could adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and make it difficult for us to raise funds through securities offerings in the future.

At the Closing, the Combined Company, the Founder Holders and certain Dave Stockholders (including the Written Consent Parties), in each case who will receive Combined Company Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of the shares of Combined Company Common Stock held by the Founder Holders and such Dave Stockholders following the Closing. Pursuant to such agreement, among other things, the Founder Holders will agree not to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock, shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock or other securities exercisable therefor (as applicable), except for certain permitted transfers, for (i) in respect of the Dave Stockholders, six months following the Closing and (ii) in respect of the Founder Holders, the earlier of (x) 12 months following the Closing, (y) the date, which is on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing Date, on which the Combined Company Class A Common Stock achieves a trading price of at least $12.00 (as such trading price may be adjusted) for any

65

30-trading day period commencing on or after on or after the 150-day anniversary of the Closing, and (z) the date on which the Combined Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction resulting in all of the stockholders of the Combined Company having the right to exchange their shares of Combined Company Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

Because we have no current plans to pay cash dividends on Combined Company Class A Common Stock, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your shares of for a price greater than that which you are deemed to have paid for it.

We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of Combined Company board of directors. The Combined Company board of directors may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions, implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders and such other factors as Combined Company board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness would likely contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restricting or limiting our ability to pay cash dividends. Accordingly, the Combined Company may not pay any dividends on Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

If securities and industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or reports, about our business or our market, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for Combined Company Class A Common Stock and warrants will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities and industry analysts publish about us, our business and our market. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on VPCC or the Combined Company. If securities and industry analysts do not commence coverage of the Combined Company, the Combined Company’s stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business or our market, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the Combined Company’s stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets and demand for the Combined Company’s stock could decrease, which might cause the Combined Company’s stock price and trading volume to decline.

The Combined Company’s charter documents and Delaware law could prevent a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and could also reduce the market price of the Combined Company’s stock.

Assuming the passage of the Charter Amendment Proposal, certain provisions of the Proposed Charter and the Combined Company Amended and Restated Bylaws, as they will be in effect following the Closing, may have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing a change of control or changes in the Combined Company’s management. These provisions will provide for, among other things:

66

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by stockholders of the Combined Company to replace or remove the Combined Company’s management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of the Combined Company board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, institutional stockholder representative groups, stockholder activists and others may disagree with our corporate governance provisions or other practices, including anti-takeover provisions, such as those listed above. We generally will consider recommendations of institutional stockholder representative groups, but we will make decisions based on what our board and management believe to be in the best long-term interests of the Combined Company and stockholders; however, these groups could make recommendations to our stockholders against our practices or our board members if they disagree with our positions.

Finally, upon the Closing, we will not opt out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any “interested” stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an “interested” stockholder.

These and other provisions in the Proposed Charter and the amended and restated bylaws of the Combined Company to be in effect upon the closing of the Business Combination and under Delaware law could discourage potential takeover attempts, reduce the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and result in the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock being lower than it would be without these provisions.

The Proposed Charter will provide that a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with the Combined Company or its directors, officers, employees, or stockholders.

VPCC’s Existing Charter provides and, assuming the passage of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Proposed Charter that will be effective following the Closing will provide, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law:

67

This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The Proposed Charter will further provide that, unless the Combined Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Proposed Charter will provide that a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a chosen judicial forum for disputes with the Combined Company or its directors, officers, employees, or stockholders. If any other court of competent jurisdiction were to find either exclusive-forum provision in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving the dispute in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, although the Delaware Supreme Court ruled in March 2020 that federal forum selection provisions purporting to require claims under the Securities Act be brought in federal court were “facially valid” under Delaware law, there is uncertainty as to whether other courts will enforce our federal forum selection clause.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and VPCC

The Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination and the other Proposals described herein to be presented at the Special Meeting, regardless of how our Public Stockholders vote.

The Sponsor and each of VPCC’s officers and directors have agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals described herein to be presented at the Special Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Stockholders collectively own approximately 20.0% of the outstanding shares of VPCC Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received than would be the case if the Initial Stockholders agreed to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our Public Stockholders.

Neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination.

Neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that we are paying for Dave is fair to us from a financial point of view. Neither the VPCC Board nor any committee thereof obtained a third party valuation in connection with the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, the VPCC Board conducted due diligence on Dave. The VPCC Board also consulted with VPCC’s management and its legal counsel, financial advisor and other advisors and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks, including, but not limited to, those discussed under “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—VPCC’s Board of Directors’

68

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination,” and concluded that the Business Combination was in the best interest of the VPCC Stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the VPCC Board in valuing Dave, and the VPCC Board may not have properly valued such businesses. The lack of a third party valuation may also lead an increased number of stockholders to vote against the Business Combination or demand redemption of their shares, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Business Combination.

Since the Sponsor and the members of VPCC’s management team have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our stockholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor will lose its entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of the VPCC Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals included herein, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor and VPCC’s directors have interests in such Proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of our stockholders and warrant holders generally. The VPCC Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and Merger Agreement and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. VPCC Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

69

70

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of VPCC’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what such director(s) may believe is in the best interests of VPCC and its stockholders and what such director(s) may believe is best for such director(s) in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the Proposals. See the section titled “The Business Combination and the Merger Agreement—Interests of Certain VPCC Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

The financial and personal interests of the Sponsor as well as VPCC’s directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Dave as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Dave and influencing the operation of the business following the initial business combination. In considering the recommendations of VPCC’s Board to vote for the Proposals, its stockholders should consider these interests.

Citigroup and Jefferies may have a potential conflict of interest regarding the Business Combination

Each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) served as underwriters in the IPO, and, upon consummation of the Business Combination, they will be entitled to receive $8,881,809 of deferred underwriting commission, of which Citigroup and Jefferies are each entitled to $4,440,904.50. The underwriters of the IPO have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the trust account in the event VPCC does not complete an initial business combination within 24 months of the closing of the IPO. Accordingly, if the Business Combination, or any other initial business combination, is not consummated by that time and VPCC is therefore required to be liquidated, Citigroup and Jefferies will not receive any of the deferred underwriting commission and such funds will be returned to VPCC’s public stockholders upon its liquidation.

Furthermore, Citigroup and Jefferies were engaged by VPCC as its financial advisors in connection with the Business Combination and as co-placement agents in connection with the PIPE Investment. VPCC decided to

71

retain Citigroup and Jefferies as its financial advisors and co-placement agents in connection with the PIPE Investment based primarily on their extensive knowledge of [●], strong market position, positive reputation as a leading advisor in SPAC business combinations, and their experienced and capable investment banking teams.

In addition to paying each of Citigroup and Jefferies a financial advisory fee and placement agent fee upon the Closing of the Business Combination for their roles as financial advisors and co-placement agents, VPCC agreed to reimburse Citigroup and Jefferies for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees and disbursements of Citigroup’s and Jefferies’ outside attorneys, and to indemnify Citigroup and Jefferies and certain related parties against liabilities, including liabilities under federal securities laws, in each case, in connection with, as a result of, or relating to their engagements.

Both Citigroup and Jefferies have an interest in VPCC completing a business combination prior to the expiration of the 24 month period following the closing of the IPO, and they both may have a potential conflict of interest given that they are entitled to the deferred portion of their underwriting compensation, and their financial advisory fees and placement agent fees are payable only if an initial business combination is completed within the specified timeframe. In considering approval of the Business Combination, VPCC’s stockholders should consider the roles of Citigroup and Jefferies in light of this potential conflict.

The exercise of the VPCC management team’s discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Merger Agreement, including closing conditions, may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the VPCC Stockholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require VPCC to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Dave or to waive rights that VPCC is entitled to under the Merger Agreement, including those related to closing conditions. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Dave’s businesses or a request by Dave to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Dave’s businesses and would entitle VPCC to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at VPCC’s discretion, acting through the VPCC Board, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors described in the preceding risk factors (and described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus) may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what such director(s) may believe is best for VPCC and its stockholders and what such director(s) may believe is best for such director(s) in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, VPCC does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that VPCC’s management team would be likely to make after the approval of the Business Combination Proposal by the VPCC Stockholders has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, VPCC will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit the VPCC Stockholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its stockholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Because the Combined Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules, our stockholders may not have certain corporate governance protections that are available to stockholders of companies that are not controlled companies.

So long as more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors of the Combined Company is held by an individual, a group or another company, the Combined Company will qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Following the completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Wilk will control over 70.2% of the voting power of the Combined Company’s outstanding capital stock, assuming the no redemption scenario. As a result, the Combined Company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards and will not be subject to the requirements that would otherwise require us to have: (i) a majority of independent directors; (ii) a compensation

72

committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities ; and (iii) director nominees selected, or recommended for the Combined Company Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.

Mr. Wilk may have his interest in the Combined Company diluted due to future equity issuances or his own actions in selling shares of Combined Company Class V common stock, in each case, which could result in a loss of the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules. The Combined Company would then be required to comply with those provisions of the Nasdaq listing requirements.

VPCC and Dave will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

VPCC and Dave have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the Closing. We and Dave may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of, or paid by, the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs, or otherwise paid by the Combined Company following the Closing.

VPCC’s transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $[●] in deferred underwriting discount and other advisory fees and transaction expenses. The amount of the deferred underwriting discount will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The per-share amount we will distribute to stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting discount and after such redemptions, the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming stockholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting discount.

The announcement of the proposed Business Combination could disrupt Dave’s relationships with its Members, suppliers and others, as well as its operating results and business generally.

Whether or not the Business Combination is ultimately consummated, as a result of uncertainty related to the proposed transactions, risks relating to the impact of the announcement of the Business Combination on Dave’s business include the following:

If any of the aforementioned risks were to materialize, they could lead to significant costs which may impact Dave’s results of operations and cash available to fund its businesses.

Subsequent to the Closing, we may be exposed to unknown or contingent liabilities and may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the price of our securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Dave has identified all material issues or risks associated with Dave, its business or the industry in which it competes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you

73

that factors outside of Dave’s and our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be exposed to liabilities and incur additional costs and expenses and we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or the Combined Company. Additionally, we have no indemnification rights against the Dave stockholders under the Merger Agreement and all of the purchase price consideration will be delivered to the Dave stockholders at the Closing. Accordingly, any stockholders or warrant holders of VPCC who choose to remain Combined Company stockholders or warrant holders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares and warrants. Such stockholders or warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

The historical financial results of Dave and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what our actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The historical financial results of Dave included in this proxy statement/prospectus do not reflect the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows Dave would have achieved as a public company during the periods presented or those we will achieve in the future. The Combined Company’s financial condition and future results of operations could be materially different from amounts reflected in Dave’s historical financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, so it may be difficult for investors to compare the Combined Company’s future results to historical results or to evaluate its relative performance or trends in its business.

Similarly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, VPCC being treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes in the Business Combination, the total debt obligations and the cash and cash equivalents of Dave on the date the Business Combination closes and the number of our Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such pro forma financial information may not be indicative of the Combined Company’s future operating or financial performance and the Combined Company’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from the pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. Please see the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

If we are unable to increase our revenues or our operating costs are higher than expected, our profitability may decline and our operating results may fluctuate significantly.

We may not be able to accurately forecast our revenues or future revenue growth rate. Many of our expenses, particularly personnel costs and occupancy costs, are relatively fixed. As a result, we may not be able to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected increase in expenses or revenue shortfall. We may experience higher than expected operating costs relating to other general and administrative expenses, including increased costs relating to technology and infrastructure (third-party SaaS), commitments to charity, transaction based costs (program expenses, association fees, processor fees, losses from Member disputed transactions, and fraud), depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, legal fees, rent, certain sales tax related costs, office related expenses, public relations costs, professional service fees, travel and entertainment, and insurance. If operating costs exceed our expectations and cannot be adjusted accordingly, our profitability may be reduced and our results of operations and financial position will be adversely affected. Additionally, we may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rates, and our percentage revenue growth rates may decline. Our ability to increase our revenues and operating profit will depend on increased demand for our services and other operational assumptions, including Member growth and retention, ExtraCash and subscription engagement trends and Dave Banking adoption and engagement rates. Our sales are affected by, among other things, general

74

economic, industry, regulatory, market and financial conditions and trends, as well as unemployment rates. Reduced demand, whether due to changes in Member preference, a weakening of the U.S. or global economy, competition or other reasons, may result in decreased revenues and growth, adversely affecting our operating results.

We currently intend to only complete one business combination with the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, which will cause us to be solely dependent on Dave’s business. This lack of diversification may negatively impact our operations and profitability.

We currently intend to only complete one business combination with the proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants. By completing our Business Combination with only a single entity our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be solely dependent upon the business and financial performance of Dave.

This lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory risks, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to the Business Combination. See “—Risks Related to Dave’s Business and Industry” for risks we may face as a result of consummating the Business Combination with Dave.

We have a minimum cash requirement. This requirement may make it more difficult for us to complete the Business Combination as contemplated.

The Merger Agreement provides that Dave’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on, among other things, as of the Closing, VPCC having at least $210,000,000 in available cash (including proceeds in connection with the PIPE Investment or any alternative financing and the funds in and outside of the Trust Account) immediately prior to the effective time of the consummation of the Mergers (after taking into account payments required to satisfy VPCC Share Redemptions).

In addition, pursuant to VPCC’s Existing Charter, in no event will we redeem Public Shares in an amount that would result in our net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being less than $5,000,001. If such conditions are not met, and such conditions are not or cannot be waived under the terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Merger Agreement could terminate and the proposed Business Combination may not be consummated.

If such conditions are waived and the Business Combination is consummated, the cash held by the Combined Company and our subsidiaries (including Dave) in the aggregate, after the Closing may not be sufficient to allow us to operate and pay our bills as they become due. Furthermore, our affiliates are not obligated to make loans to us or invest in us in the future after the Business Combination. The additional exercise of redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Stockholders may make us unable to take such actions as may be desirable in order to optimize our capital structure after the Closing and we may not be able to raise additional financing from unaffiliated parties necessary to fund our expenses and liabilities after the Closing. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

The Sponsor, Dave or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares from Public Stockholders prior to the Closing, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our VPCC Class A Common Stock.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the Dave stockholders or our or their respective directors,

75

officers, advisors or respective affiliates may (1) purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, Public Shares, (2) execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or (3) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares, vote their Public Shares in favor of the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting or not redeem their Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of VPCC’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the Dave stockholders or our or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (1) increase the likelihood of approving the proposals to be voted upon at the Special Meeting and (2) limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem, including to satisfy any redemption threshold.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on our common stock (e.g., by giving an investor or holder the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market, such investor or holder may therefore become more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination). If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such Proposals would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

We are not registering the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise such warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise its warrants except on a “cashless basis” and potentially causing such warrants to expire worthless.

We are not registering the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However, under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC, and within 60 business days following our initial business combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current, complete or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, we will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. However, no warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder or an exemption from registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if Combined Company Class A Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will use our best efforts to register or

76

qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and no exemption is available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and may expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full Unit purchase price solely for the shares of Class A common stock included in the units. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per Unit in our IPO).

Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver only if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where we are unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by Public Stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a Merger Agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $10.00 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not

77

independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares. No member of our management team will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and the members of our Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to our creditors, thereby exposing the members of our Board and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our stockholders. In addition, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith by paying Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our Public Stockholders in connection with our liquidation would be reduced.

Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our Public Shares as soon as reasonably possible following the required time period in the event we do not complete our initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

Because we do not intend to comply with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and

78

pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, consultants, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our Public Stockholders upon the redemption of our Public Shares in the event we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a business combination.

The fact that we are a blank check company will make compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because Dave is not currently subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of Dave as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to us after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404, including any additional requirements once we are no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of our securities. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.

The obligations associated with being a public company will involve significant expenses and will require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires the filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to a public company’s business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that a public company establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. As a result, the Combined Company will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that Dave did not previously incur. Dave’s entire management team and many of its other employees will need to devote substantial time to compliance and may not effectively or efficiently manage its transition into a public company.

These rules and regulations will result in the Combined Company incurring substantial legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, these rules and regulations will likely make it more difficult and more expensive for the Combined Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and it may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be difficult for the Combined Company to attract and retain qualified people to serve on its Board of Directors, its board committees or as executive officers.

79

VPCC currently is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and to the extent we have taken advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make the Combined Company’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

VPCC currently is an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company, which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30^th; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. The Combined Company will qualify as an emerging growth company as well as a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

Our Public Stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Class A common stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of the Combined Company.

The issuance of a significant number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Investment will dilute the equity interest of our existing stockholders and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Public Shares and/or Public Warrants.

It is anticipated that, upon the Closing and assuming the no redemption scenario: (1) the Public Stockholders will own approximately 6.4% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock; (2) the PIPE

80

Investors will own approximately 5.3% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock; (3) the Initial Stockholders will own approximately 1.5% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock; and (4) the Dave stockholders will own approximately 86.8% of the outstanding shares of Combined Company Common Stock. These levels of ownership assume (a) that no shares are elected to be redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, (b) that we issue 346,210,468 shares of Combined Company Common Stock to the Dave Interest Holders as part of the Merger Consideration in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. These percentages exclude up to 6,000,000 shares of such Combined Company Common Stock that we will immediately repurchase following the Business Combination as described in the section titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Repurchase Agreement”). The PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 21,000,000 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock for $210,000,000 of gross proceeds in the PIPE Investment. In this proxy statement/prospectus, we assume that a portion of the gross proceeds from the PIPE Investment and funds held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the payment of certain transaction expenses, with the remainder being used to capitalize the balance sheet of the Combined Company. The ownership percentage with respect to the Combined Company (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase VPCC Class A Common Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination, (2) the Rollover Options or Assumed Warrants or (3) the issuance of any shares upon the Closing under the 2021 Plan or Employee Stock Purchase Plan, but does include the Founder Shares (including the Founder Holder Earnout Shares), which will automatically convert into shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon the Closing (such shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions). If the actual facts are different from these assumptions, the above levels of ownership will be different. Please see the sections titled “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—Ownership after the Closing; Impact of the Business Combination on the Combined Company’s Public Float,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” for further information.

The issuance of additional shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of our securities and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Public Shares or Public Warrants.

Warrants will become exercisable for Combined Company Class A Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

If the Business Combination is completed, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 11,444,364 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement. These warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the Closing. The exercise price of these warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then existing holders of Combined Company Class A Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock. However, there is no guarantee that the Public Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless. Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the Public Warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the Public Warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.

The warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as warrant agent, and VPCC. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the

81

warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or stock (at a ratio different than initially provided), shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem your unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the closing price of Combined Company Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force you to: (1) exercise your warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so; (2) sell your warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your warrants; or (3) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, we expect would be substantially less than the market value of your warrants.

In addition, we may redeem your warrants at any time and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that the closing price of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption and provided that certain other conditions are met, including that holders will be able to exercise their warrant prior to redemption for a number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Combined Company Class A Common Stock. The value received upon exercise of the warrants (i) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had been able to exercise their warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (ii) may not compensate the holders for the value of the warrants, including because the number of shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock received is capped at 0.361 shares of Combined Company Class A Common Stock per warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the warrants.

None of the warrants underlying the private placement units will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Following the Business Combination, the Combined Company will be a holding company and will depend on the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends.

The Combined Company will be a holding company without any direct operations and will have no significant assets other than its ownership interest in Dave. Accordingly, its ability to pay dividends will depend upon the financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of, and the Combined Company’s receipt of dividends, loans or other funds from, Dave and its subsidiaries. The Combined Company’s subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation to make funds available to the Combined Company. In addition, there are various statutory, regulatory and contractual limitations and business considerations on the extent, if

82

any, to which the Combined Company’s subsidiaries may pay dividends, make loans or otherwise provide funds to the Combined Company.

Risks Related to the Redemption

Public stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

A Public Stockholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such Public Stockholder: (1)(a) holds Public Shares, or (b) holds Public Shares through units, the Public Stockholder elects to separate its units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising its redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; (2) prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [●], 2021 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Special Meeting) submits a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, that we redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, affirmatively certifying in your request 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 our common stock; and (3) delivers its Public Shares to our transfer agent physically or electronically through DTC. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a stockholder’s broker or clearing broker, DTC and our transfer agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from our transfer agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, Public Stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If a Public Stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite our compliance with the proxy rules, a Public Stockholder fails to receive our proxy materials, such Public Stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its Public Shares. In addition, the proxy materials that we are furnishing to holders of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination describe the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the Public Shares. In the event that a Public Stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section titled “VPCC Special Meeting of Stockholders—Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If you or a “group” of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

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 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, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, we will require each Public Stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to us whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to us at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which we make the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over our ability to

83

consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if we consummate the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the Public Shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. We cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge our determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, our stockholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

We can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the Closing or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of us might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A stockholder should consult the stockholder’s own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Risks if the Business Combination is Not Consummated

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Dave by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of stockholders, such later date), we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and we would redeem our Public Shares and liquidate, in which case our Public Stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, or less than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless.

If we are not able to complete the Business Combination with Dave by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of stockholders, such later date) nor able to complete another initial business combination by such date, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and the VPCC Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such case, our Public Stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, or less than $10.00 per share, on the redemption of their shares, and our warrants will expire worthless.

If the Business Combination is not consummated, you will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Our Public Stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (1) the completion of our initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of

84

Class A common stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (2) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period; and (3) the redemption of all of our Public Shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of stockholders, such later date), subject to applicable law and as further described herein. In addition, if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period for any reason, compliance with Delaware law may require that we submit a plan of dissolution to our then-existing stockholders for approval prior to the distribution of the proceeds held in our Trust Account. In that case, Public Stockholders may be forced to wait beyond the end of the required time period before they receive funds from our Trust Account. In no other circumstances will a Public Stockholder have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account. Holders of warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

If the funds not being held in the Trust Account are insufficient to allow us to operate until at least March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our stockholders, such later date), we may be unable to complete our initial business combination.

The funds available to us outside of the Trust Account may not be sufficient to allow us to operate until March 9, 2023 (or if such date is extended at a duly called meeting of our stockholders, such later date), assuming that our initial business combination is not completed during that time. We expect to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. If we are required to seek additional capital we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsor, management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. However, neither our Sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such event in the future may negatively impact the analysis regarding our ability to continue as a going concern at such time.

We could use a portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision in letters of intent or merger agreements designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into a letter of intent or merger agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business and were subsequently required to forfeit such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise), we might not have sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conduct due diligence with respect to, a target business. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination, our Public Stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our Trust Account and our warrants will expire worthless. If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price per Unit in our IPO).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

VPCC is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of VPCC and Dave adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination and related Transactions.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the option to present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). VPCC has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and has only presented Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The historical financial information of VPCC was derived from the unaudited condensed financial statements of VPCC as of June 30, 2021 and the period from January 14, 2021 (Inception) through June 30, 2021, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The historical financial information of Dave was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Dave as of June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and from the audited consolidated financial statements of Dave as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. This information should be read together with VPCC’s and Dave’s unaudited condensed financial statements and audited financial statements and related notes, the sections titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of VPCC,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Dave” and other financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the risk factors set forth under the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 42 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, VPCC will be treated as the “accounting acquiree” and Dave as the “accounting acquirer” for financial reporting purposes. Dave was determined to be the accounting acquirer primarily based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances that are expected to be in place when the closing of the Business Combination becomes effective:

Additionally, Dave’s business will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined company immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Dave issuing shares for the net assets of VPCC, followed by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Dave will become

86

the historical financial statements of the Combined Company, and VPCC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Dave beginning on the Closing Date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 assumes that the Business Combination and related Transactions occurred on June 30, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and related Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. Dave and VPCC have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Affiliates of VPCC are lenders to Dave, however, there is no effect on the pro forma adjustments. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for informational purposes only. They do not purport to indicate the results that would have been obtained had the Business Combination and related Transactions actually been completed on the assumed date or for the periods presented, or which may be realized in the future. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available and the assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The Combined Company will incur additional costs after the Business Combination in order to satisfy its obligations as an SEC-reporting public company.

The Business Combination and Related Transactions

The aggregate merger consideration for the Business Combination will be $3.5 billion, payable in the form of shares of VPCC Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share. As part of the recapitalization, there are 951,622 Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares and 1,586,037 forfeitable Founder Holder Earnout Shares which are subject to certain market vesting conditions in two tranches. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect pro forma adjustments related to the recognition of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares because there is no net impact on stockholders’ equity on a pro forma combined basis.

The number of Founder Holder Contingent Closing Shares that may be forfeited as part of the Business Combination is dependent on redemptions of the VPCC Class A Common Stock as follows:

87

The Founder Holder Earnout Shares are triggered by the below events beginning on the Closing Date and ending on and including the date of the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing:

The Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be recognized at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination and classified in stockholders’ equity. Because the Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the issuance of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares will be treated as a deemed dividend and since Dave does not have retained earnings, the issuance will be recorded within additional-paid-in-capital (“APIC”) and have a net nil impact on APIC. Dave determined the fair value of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares to be approximately $12.1 million based on a valuation using a Monte Carlo simulation with key inputs and assumptions such as stock price, term, dividend yield, risk-free rate, and volatility. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect pro forma adjustments related to the recognition of the Founder Holder Earnout Shares because there is no net impact on stockholders’ equity on a pro forma combined basis.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, VPCC, Dave and Selling Holders entered into the Repurchase Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, VPCC has agreed to repurchase a certain number of shares of Combined Common Stock from the Selling Holders (including shares of Combined Company Class V Common Stock issued to Mr. Wilk in connection with the Transactions), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, on the business day immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger. The Repurchase is contingent on the amount of VPCC Available Cash being in excess of $300 million. If VPCC Available Cash exceeds $300 million, the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock subject to the Repurchase will be equal to Aggregate Repurchase Price, divided by $10.00 (provided that in no event will the Aggregate Repurchase Price exceed $60 million). 80% of the number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock

88

subject to the Repurchase will be allocated to Mr. Wilk, with Mr. Beilman allocated the remaining 20%. Mr. Wilk is one of Dave’s current directors and is the Chief Executive Officer of Dave, and, as mentioned above, Mr. Beilman is the Chief Financial Officer of Dave. The Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, will constitute a Business Combination as contemplated by VPCC’s Existing Charter. The Merger shall be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Delaware General Corporation Law.

On March 3, 2021, Dave issued 8,458,481 stock options to Mr. Wilk. The stock options vest in seven tranches, each of which are vested by satisfying all three vesting conditions: (i) the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, which is defined as the first of (a) the shares of Dave becoming publicly traded on an internationally recognized stock exchange, which includes a merger resulting in the common stock of the surviving company registered under the Exchange Act or publicly traded on an internationally-recognized stock exchange or (b) a Corporate Transaction which is defined as a change in control, reorganization, merger or transfer of all Dave’s assets, (ii) the achievement of a specific stock price milestone and (iii) subject to the continuous employment by Mr. Wilk. The first tranche is one-third and the remaining six tranches are one-twelfth of the 8,458,481 shares. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will recognize a catch-up charge to compensation expense and recognize the remaining compensation cost over the derived service period.

The pro forma adjustments giving effect to the Business Combination and related Transactions summarized below, and are discussed further in the footnotes to these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the VPCC Share Redemptions:

89

The existing Dave Stockholders will hold 346,210,468 of the Combined Company Common Stock immediately after the Business Combination, which approximates an 86.8% ownership level assuming the no redemption scenario and a 92.9% ownership level assuming the maximum redemption scenario. The following summarizes the pro forma common shares outstanding under the two scenarios (excluding the potential dilutive effect of Dave Options, VPCC Warrants and the Founder Holder Earnout Shares as further described in Note 4):
