Filing identity and reporting period
Important issuer mismatch: The supplied filing is Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III’s Form 10-K, not a filing for Mobile Infrastructure Corp. It covers the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, from the company’s February 19, 2021 inception. The company was a shell SPAC seeking a business combination, with no operating business or revenue.

Capitalization and material changes
The May 2021 IPO sold 27.5 million public shares at $10 each, raising $275 million gross; the sponsor separately bought 907,000 private-placement shares for $9.07 million. Offering costs were approximately $16.1 million, including $9.625 million of deferred underwriting commissions. At year-end, 27.5 million public shares were classified as temporary equity at $10 per share, alongside 907,000 private-placement Class A shares and 6.875 million Class B shares.
In February 2022, the audit committee determined that previously issued post-IPO and quarterly financial statements required restatement, including classification of redeemable Class A shares as temporary equity and, where applicable, revised earnings-per-share allocation between share classes. The filing identifies a material weakness in controls over complex financial-instrument accounting and earnings-per-share presentation. Management reported additional review procedures and remediation efforts, but disclosure controls were not effective at December 31, 2021.
Outlook, risks, and unusual items
- The company had no identified business-combination target and was reviewing opportunities. Its stated focus included real-estate technology and the broader “Built World,” while retaining flexibility to pursue other sectors.
- The SPAC had until May 27, 2023 to complete a business combination. If unsuccessful, it was required to redeem public shares from the trust, subject to creditor claims and other terms; the redemption could be below $10 per share.
- Management believed available working capital and potential sponsor or affiliate borrowing capacity would cover needs through the earlier of a business combination or one year from the filing. Future sponsor loans were not committed.
- Key risks include sponsor and management conflicts, competing Fifth Wall funds and another Fifth Wall SPAC, substantial shareholder redemptions, financing availability, COVID-19 impacts, and the risk that creditor claims reduce trust funds.
- The sponsor held approximately 21.7% of voting control as of year-end and agreed to support a proposed business combination if a shareholder vote occurred. Founder shares were acquired for a nominal price and may create dilution and incentives that differ from public shareholders’ interests.
- The filing reports no legal proceedings or off-balance-sheet arrangements. The audited financial statements received an unqualified opinion, but the auditor did not opine on internal-control effectiveness. The filing also notes that the impact of Russia’s February 2022 military action against Ukraine and related sanctions was undeterminable.
Investor verification points
- Confirm the issuer: the supplied document is for Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III, not Mobile Infrastructure Corp.
- Review subsequent filings for business-combination status, any extension or liquidation, and the actual trust balance and redemption terms.
- Check whether the identified material weakness was fully remediated and whether any further restatements, SEC inquiries, or related disputes arose.
- Verify sponsor funding capacity and assess potential dilution, conflicts, and the effect of redemptions on any proposed transaction.
