As previously disclosed, on February 10, 2021, the board of directors of Falcon Capital Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FCAC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), unanimously approved an agreement and plan of merger, dated February 12, 2021, by and among FCAC, FCAC Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCAC (“Merger Sub”), Sharecare, Inc. (“Sharecare”), and Colin Daniel, solely in his capacity as representative of the Sharecare stockholders (the “Stockholder Representative”) (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). If the Merger Agreement is adopted by FCAC’s stockholders and the transactions under the Merger Agreement are consummated, Merger Sub will merge with and into Sharecare, after which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Sharecare will survive the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FCAC (the “Business Combination”). In addition, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, FCAC will be renamed “Sharecare, Inc.” and is referred to herein as “New Sharecare” as of the time following such change of name.
On February 16, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-253113), as amended on April 9, 2021, May 11, 2021 and May 26, 2021 (the “S-4”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Business Combination. On June 3, 2021, the Company filed with the SEC its definitive proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the special meeting of stockholders of the Company scheduled to be held on June 29, 2021 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) to, among other things, vote on a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement.
On February 17, 2021, March 4, 2021, March 31, 2021, March 31, 2021, March 31, 2021, April 1, 2021, April 30, 2021, May 26, 2021, and June 18, 2021, FCAC received letters (the “Shareholder Letters”) from Gina Serra at Rigrodsky & Long P.A., Marc Ackerman at Brodsky & Smith, L.L.C., Juan Monteverde at Monteverde & Associates P.C., Juan Monteverde at Monteverde & Associates P.C., Brian Long at Long Law, L.L.C., Richard Acocelli at WeissLaw LLP, Joshua Grabar at Grabar Law Office, Alexandra Raymond at Brager, Eagel, and Squire P.C., and Justin Kuehn at Moore Kuehn, P.L.L.C., respectively, on behalf of purported shareholders of FCAC claiming certain allegedly material omissions in the preliminary proxy statement filed on February 16, 2021 and in the amendments filed on April 9, 2021, May 11 2021, and May 23, 2021 respectively, by FCAC in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination.
The Company is including in this Current Report on Form 8-K certain supplemental disclosures regarding the Business Combination (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). The Company and the Company’s board of directors believe that the allegations and claims asserted in the Demand Letters lack merit, and that the Supplemental Disclosures set forth herein are not required or necessary under applicable laws. However, solely in order to avoid the risk of the Demand Letters delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the Business Combination and to minimize the costs, risks, and uncertainties inherent in defending the claims, the Company hereby voluntarily amends and supplements the Definitive Proxy Statement, as set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and the members of its board of directors deny any liability or wrongdoing in connection with the Definitive Proxy Statement, and nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be construed as an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the Supplemental Disclosures.

Based on a review of Sharecare’s introductory materials, FCAC entered into a non-disclosure agreement with Sharecare on October 8, 2020 and scheduled an introductory call with its management team.”
“Mr. Sagansky was not pursuing at that time, nor at any time during the evaluation and negotiation of the proposed transaction, any other de-SPAC transactions for any other SPACs of which he was affiliated. In addition, none of the members of the FCAC board of directors, its management or the Sponsor had any conflicts of interest relating to any other affiliated SPAC to which they owed fiduciary obligations, while evaluating and negotiating the proposed transaction.”
“From the closing of the IPO through the signing of the letter of intent and term sheet with Sharecare in November 2020, FCAC identified and evaluated over 60 potential transactions, substantially all with potential targets in the health/wellness/lifestyle, media/sports/entertainment, digital media/consumer technology and, mobile gaming/interactive entertainment industries. FCAC entered into non-disclosure agreements with 7 of such potential targets. Based on FCAC’s initial screening efforts and selection criteria, FCAC engaged in substantive discussions with five companies that were considered to be appropriate targets, including Sharecare.”

Morgan will receive fees based on a percentage of certain of the PIPE proceeds raised, payable upon the consummation of the equity sale or upon consummation of the Business Combination, and expense reimbursements in connection therewith. Goldman Sachs provided FCAC with a disclosure letter describing the various roles that Goldman Sachs has served in with Sharecare and any other material relationships Goldman Sachs has with Sharecare, including having acted as sole bookrunner with respect to a private placement of Sharecare in June 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s and Sharecare’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and Sharecare’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Business Combination and the timing of the completion of the Business Combination. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s and Sharecare’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and Sharecare following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2) the inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of the Company, approvals or other determinations from certain regulatory authorities, or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transactions contemplated therein to fail to close; (4) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of New Sharecare’s Class A common stock on NYSE or Nasdaq, as applicable, following the Business Combination; (5) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (7) costs related to the Business Combination; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the possibility that Sharecare or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (10) New Sharecare’s ability to raise financing in the future and to comply with restrictive covenants related to long-term indebtedness; (11) the impact of COVID-19 on Sharecare’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Business Combination; and (12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination, including those under “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
