Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 1, 2022, E.Merge Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to E.Merge Technology Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”). The Note was issued in connection with advances the Sponsor has made, and may make in the future, to the Company for working capital expenses. If the Company completes a business combination, the Company would repay the Note out of the proceeds of the trust account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Note would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust account. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay the Note but no proceeds from the trust account would be used to repay the Note. At the election of the Sponsor, all or a portion of the unpaid principal amount of the Note may be converted into units of the Company at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Conversion Units”). The Conversion Units and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in the Note.

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

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
