SLAC Social Leverage Acquisition Corp I

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS FOR STOCKHOLDERS

The following questions and answers briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Charter Amendment Proposals to be presented at the special meeting. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to our stockholders. We urge stockholders to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein.

On February 17, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO, which, when combined with the exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters and subsequent related private placements, generated net proceeds of $345,000,000. Such net proceeds were deposited into the trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. Like most blank check companies, our charter provides for the return of the IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in the IPO if no qualifying business combinations are consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, February 17, 2023). The board of directors believes that it is in the best interests of the stockholders to continue the Company’s existence until the Extended Termination Date in order to allow the Company more time to complete the Transaction and is submitting the Charter Amendment Proposals (and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal) to the stockholders to vote upon.

If the Second Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved or implemented and the Redemption Limitation is exceeded (after taking into account the Election), either because we do not take action to increase our net tangible assets or because our attempt to do so is not

7

successful, then we will not proceed with the Charter Amendments and we will not redeem any public shares in the Optional Redemption. In such case, public shares which a public stockholder elects to redeem but which are not redeemed shall be returned to such public stockholder or such public stockholder’s account and such public stockholder will retain the right to have their public shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed an initial business combination by the Current Termination Date.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal from the trust account of an amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the trust account relating to the redeemed public shares in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account following the Election. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved; and the amount remaining in the trust account may be significantly reduced from the approximately $345,524,198 that was in the trust account as of June 30, 2022. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete a business combination and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all. Furthermore, if the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved and the Extension is implemented, then in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the trust account will not be liquidated (other than to effectuate the redemptions) until the earlier of (a) receipt by the trustee of a termination letter (in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement) or (b) the Extended Termination Date.

If the First Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by February 17, 2023, or if the First Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and we have not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date, we will terminate the Business Combination Agreement and, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

The Company’s initial stockholders have (a) acknowledged that they have no rights of any kind to the funds deposited into the trust account in respect of their founder shares and (b) waived any redemption rights they may have in respect of any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock held by them in connection with the Company’s initial business combination or a vote to approve a Charter Amendment Proposal. However, such stockholders and their respective affiliates will be entitled to liquidating

8

distributions with respect to any public shares held by them that were sold as part of the Company’s IPO if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

While the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with W3BCLOUD in respect of the Transaction, our board of directors currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before the Current Termination Date to hold a special meeting at which to hold a vote for stockholder approval of the Transaction. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that in order to be able to consummate the Transaction, we will need to obtain the Extension.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in the event such business combination is approved and completed by the Extended Termination Date.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates are not entitled to redeem their founder shares. With respect to shares purchased on the open market by the Sponsor or the Company’s directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates, such public shares may be redeemed. On the record date, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 8,625,000 founder shares, representing 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. The Sponsor and the Company’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates did not beneficially own any public shares as of the record date.

Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the special meeting, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the Company’s redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.015 per share, based on the amounts held in the trust account as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Extension; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases by the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates are made in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases apply, the Company will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the special meeting the following: (i) the number of public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such

10

public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Extension will be approved; (iv) the identities of the securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock for which the Company has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (i) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (ii) the Company’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(l) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Extension to be effectuated in circumstances where such effectuation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be voted for the Extension at the special meeting and could decrease the chances that the Extension would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities 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.

The Company hereby represents that any Company securities purchased by the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply would not be voted in favor of approving the Extension proposal.

11

The Company’s initial stockholders have (a) acknowledged that they have no rights of any kind to the funds deposited into the trust account in respect of their founder shares and (b) waived any redemption rights they may have in respect of any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock held by them in connection with the Company’s initial business combination or a vote to approve a Charter Amendment Proposal. However, such stockholders and their respective affiliates will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect to any public shares held by them that were sold as part of the Company’s IPO if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

12

Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account regardless as to whether or how such public stockholders vote with respect to either of the Charter Amendments. If the Charter Amendments are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining public stockholders will retain their right to redeem their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the Transaction is submitted to the stockholders. The removal from the trust account of an amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the trust account relating to the redeemed public shares in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account and increase the percentage interest of the Company’s common stock held by the Company’s initial stockholders through the founder shares.

If the First Charter Amendment is approved but the Company does not complete a business combination by the Extended Termination Date, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not

13

more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

The Company’s initial stockholders have (a) acknowledged that they have no rights of any kind to the funds deposited into the trust account in respect of their founder shares and (b) waived any redemption rights they may have in respect of any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock held by them in connection with the Company’s initial business combination or a vote to approve a Charter Amendment Proposal. However, such stockholders and their respective affiliates will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect to any public shares held by them that were sold as part of the Company’s IPO if the Company fails to complete an initial business combination within the prescribed timeframe. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

Unless you elect to redeem all of your shares in connection with the special meeting, you will be able to vote on the Transaction if and when it is submitted to stockholders. If you do not elect to redeem all of your shares in connection with the special meeting, you will retain your right to redeem your public shares upon consummation of a business combination in connection with the stockholder vote to approve the business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Company’s charter.

14

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 Charter Amendment. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number or address listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

The redemption, however, may be treated as a corporate distribution if (i) it does not result in a “complete termination” of the redeeming stockholder’s interest in the Company, (ii) it does not effect a meaningful reduction in the redeeming stockholder’s percentage ownership in the Company and (iii) it is not a “substantially disproportionate redemption,” in each case, taking into account certain attribution rules to determine the number of shares of Company common stock owned by the redeeming shareholder. Any such corporate distribution will be treated as dividend income to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Any distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will reduce the redeeming stockholders’ basis in the Company’s common stock, and any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Company’s common stock, as discussed above.

A Company stockholder that is a U.S. person who actually or constructively owns 5 percent (or, if the Company common stock is not then publicly traded, 1 percent) of the outstanding Company common stock (by vote or value) may be subject to special reporting requirements with respect to a redemption of shares of Company common stock, and such holders should consult with their tax advisors with respect to their reporting requirements.

15

If the redemption of a stockholder that is a non-U.S. person is treated as a distribution, as discussed above in the second paragraph, such a distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles) and, provided such dividend is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S., we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and timely provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Distributions in excess of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits that are treated as a return of capital or distributions in excess of the non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Company common stock redeemed will not be subject to the 30% withholding tax. Additionally, a non-U.S. person generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain attributable to a sale or other disposition of the Company common stock (including the portion of any distribution treated as a as a gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of the Company common stock) unless such gain is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such stockholder maintains in the United States). A Company stockholder who is a non-U.S. person should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment of the redemption of the Company’s common stock.

Dividend payments and/or proceeds from the redemption (including a deemed sale, as discussed above) of the Company common stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and possible U.S. backup withholding.

The tax consequences of a Company stockholder redeeming its Company common stock are complex and will vary upon each Company stockholder’s unique circumstances. The above is not intended to constitute tax advice and Company stockholders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors.

If you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written

16

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 with respect to the public shares upon the separation of the public shares from the units. See “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” above. The address of Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

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

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 24, 2022 and August 17, 2022 and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in the aforementioned filings and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

There are no assurances that the Extension will enable us to complete a business combination.

Approving the Extension involves a number of risks. Even if the Extension is approved, the Company can provide no assurances that the Transaction will be consummated prior to the Extended Termination Date. Our ability to consummate any business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Extension is approved, the Company expects to seek stockholder approval of the Transaction. We are required to offer stockholders the opportunity to redeem shares in connection with the Charter Amendment, and we will be required to offer stockholders redemption rights again in connection with any stockholder vote to approve the Transaction. The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the Extension and the Transaction vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our stockholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of our shares on the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that stockholders will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.

Public stockholders that do not elect to redeem their public shares in the Optional Redemption may receive a lower per-share redemption price in connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company than the per-share redemption price paid to public stockholders who elect to redeem their public shares in the Optional Redemption.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Amendment is effected, public stockholders who elect to redeem their public shares in the Optional Redemption will receive a per-share redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares. Such per-share price does not take into account up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses. Such dissolution expenses would be taken into account when calculating the per-share redemption price that the remaining public stockholders receive in connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company, which, if the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Amendment is effected, may result in a per-share price paid to the remaining public stockholders in connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Company that is lower than the per-share price paid to public stockholders who elect to redeem their public shares in the Optional Redemption.

21

In the event the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Amendment is effected, the ability of our public stockholders to exercise redemption rights in the Optional Redemption with respect to a large number of our public shares may adversely affect the liquidity of our securities.

A public stockholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such public stockholder’s public shares for cash in the Optional Redemption. The ability of our public stockholders to exercise such redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shares may adversely affect the liquidity of the SLAC common stock. As a result, you may be unable to sell your SLAC common stock even if the per-share market price is higher than the per-share redemption price paid to public stockholders who elect to redeem their public shares in the Optional Redemption.

The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) may delist our securities from trading on its exchange following stockholder redemptions in connection with approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

SLAC Class A common stock, units and warrants are listed on the NYSE. After the special meeting, we may be required to demonstrate compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our securities on the NYSE. The NYSE would normally give consideration to the prompt initiation of suspension and delisting procedures with respect to a security of an issuer when:

22

Additionally, we expect that if the SLAC Class A common stock fails to meet the NYSE’s continued listing requirements, our units and warrants will fail to meet the NYSE’s continued listing requirements for those securities. We cannot assure you that any of the SLAC Class A common stock, units or warrants will be able to meet any of the NYSE’s continued listing requirements following the special meeting and any related stockholder redemptions of the SLAC Class A common stock. If our securities do not meet the NYSE’s continued listing requirements, the NYSE may delist our securities from trading on its exchange.

If the NYSE delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” The SLAC Class A common stock, units and warrants qualify as covered securities under such statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by special purpose acquisition companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on the NYSE, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

The SEC has recently issued proposed rules to regulate special purpose acquisition companies. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete our Transaction and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination.

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies like the Company (“SPACs”), on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”)

23

relating, among other items, to disclosures in business combination transactions between SPACs such as us and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs of negotiating and completing a business combination and the time required to consummate a transaction, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete a business combination.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals (and notwithstanding whether or not the SPAC Rule Proposals are adopted by the SEC), while the funds in the trust account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company), the Company may, at any time, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury bills or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of an initial business combination and liquidation of the Company in order to mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act. Any decision to hold all funds in the trust account in cash, combined with any permitted withdrawals of interest held in the trust account to pay our taxes, would likely reduce the effective yield on the amounts in the trust account and the amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS

General

We are furnishing this proxy statement to our stockholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors for use at the special meeting of stockholders to be held on December [●], 2022, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement is first being furnished to our stockholders on or about [●], 2022. This proxy statement provides you with information you need to know to be able to vote or instruct your vote to be cast at the special meeting.

The Company reserves the right at any time to cancel the special meeting and not to submit to stockholders or implement the Charter Amendment.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

The special meeting will be held exclusively via a live webcast at [                    ], on December [●], 2022, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. To participate in the virtual meeting, a SLAC stockholder of record will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or instructions that accompanied your proxy materials, if applicable, or to obtain a proxy form from your broker, bank or other nominee. The special meeting webcast will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. SLAC stockholders are encouraged to access the special meeting prior to the start time. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting or during the meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the virtual meeting login page.

Voting Power; Record Date

You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if you owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on [●], 2022, which is the record date for the special meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were 43,125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, of which 34,500,000 are public shares and 8,625,000 are shares held by our sponsor.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposal for the Special Meeting

A quorum of SLAC’s stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the special meeting if holders of a majority in voting power of SLAC common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting is present in person virtually or represented by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum at the special meeting.

The approval of the First Charter Amendment requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of SLAC common stock at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, a

25

Company stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or virtually at the special meeting, as well as an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote with regard to the First Charter Amendment, will each have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the First Charter Amendment.

The approval of the Second Charter Amendment requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of SLAC common stock at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, a Company stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or virtually at the special meeting, as well as an abstention from voting, or a broker non-vote with regard to the Second Charter Amendment, will each have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Second Charter Amendment.

In addition, Subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may (i) purchase public shares from institutional and other investors (including those who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the special meeting, or elect to redeem, or indicate an intention to redeem, public shares), (ii) enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to not redeem their public shares, or (iii) execute agreements to purchase such public shares from such investors or enter into non-redemption agreements in the future. In the event that the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates purchase public shares in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply, they (a) would purchase the public shares at a price no higher than the price offered through the Company’s redemption process (i.e., approximately $10.015 per share, based on the amounts held in the trust account as of June 30, 2022); (b) would represent in writing that such public shares will not be voted in favor of approving the Extension; and (c) would waive in writing any redemption rights with respect to the public shares so purchased.

To the extent any such purchases by the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates are made in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases apply, the Company will disclose in a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the special meeting the following: (i) the number of public shares purchased outside of the redemption offer, along with the purchase price(s) for such public shares; (ii) the purpose of any such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Extension will be approved; (iv) the identities of the securityholders who sold to the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of the securityholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold such public shares; and (v) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock for which the Company has received redemption requests pursuant to its redemption offer.

The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of (i) otherwise limiting the number of public shares electing to redeem and (ii) the Company’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51(g)(l) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Extension to be effectuated in circumstances where such effectuation could not otherwise occur. Consistent with SEC guidance, purchases of shares by the persons described above would not be permitted to be

26

voted for the Extension at the special meeting and could decrease the chances that the Extension would be approved. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities 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.

The Company hereby represents that any Company securities purchased by the Sponsor, the Company’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates in situations in which the tender offer rules restrictions on purchases would apply would not be voted in favor of approving the Extension proposal.

Recommendation to the Company Stockholders

Our board of directors believes that the Charter Amendments to be presented at the special meeting are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. We believe the proposal presented to our stockholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares without your instructions. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your broker, bank or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a broker, bank or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Amendments. Broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Amendments.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of our common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on the proposals for the special meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of our common stock that you own.

27

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the special meeting or at such meeting by doing any one of the following:

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

The special meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Charter Amendments. Under our bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the special meeting, no other matters may be considered at the special meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement, which serves as the notice of the special meeting.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares of our common stock, you may call Morrow Sodali, our proxy solicitor, at (800) 662-5200. Banks and Brokerage Firms may call collect at: (203) 658-9400.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to our currently existing charter, our public shareholders shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their public shares upon the approval of the Charter Amendments, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares (if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would not cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001 if the Second Charter Amendment is not approved).

If your redemption request is properly made and the Charter Amendments are approved, these shares will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive such amount. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $345,524,198 on June 30, 2022, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.015.

28

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company

1 State Street, 30th Floor

New York, New York 10004

Attention: Mark Zimkind

Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

; and

Any demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Charter Amendments. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of our common stock, as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of our common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our common stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights and the redemption is effectuated, your shares of our common stock will cease to be outstanding and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata

29

share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely request redemption.

If the First Charter Amendment is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by February 17, 2023 (subject to the requirements of law), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders, and our warrants to purchase common stock will expire worthless.

Holders of outstanding units 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 Stock Transfer & Trust Company 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 with respect to the public shares 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 DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights with respect to the public shares upon the separation of the public shares from the units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

Applicability of Investment Company Act

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule Proposals relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as us could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.

30

The funds in the trust account have, since our IPO, been held only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we may, at any time, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the trust account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury bills or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to hold all funds in the trust account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our business combination or liquidation. As a result, following such liquidation, we will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the trust account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

31

THE FIRST CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The proposed First Charter Amendment would amend our existing charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) for an additional three months, from February 17, 2023 (the “Current Termination Date”) to May 17, 2023 (the “Extended Termination Date”). As with potential redemptions in connection with an initial business combination, the First Charter Amendment would restrict redemption rights in connection with any further amendment of the charter with respect to 15% or more of our public shares. The complete text of the proposed amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Even if approved by shareholders, our board or directors retains the discretionary authority not to file the Certificate of Amendment implementing the First Charter Amendment if it subsequently determines that to do so would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Reasons for the Proposed First Charter Amendment

The Company is proposing to amend its charter to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination from February 17, 2023 to the Extended Termination Date.

The First Charter Amendment is essential to allowing the Company more time to consummate the Transaction. Approval of the First Charter Amendment is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

If the First Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, then in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the trust account will not be liquidated (other than to effectuate the redemptions) until the earlier of (a) receipt by the trustee of a termination letter (in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement) or (b) the Extended Termination Date.

If the First Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by February 17, 2023, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and our board of directors in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

32

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of SLAC common stock at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the First Charter Amendment. Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the First Charter Amendment will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the First Charter Amendment.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE FIRST CHARTER AMENDMENT.

33

THE SECOND CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The proposed Second Charter Amendment would amend our existing charter to eliminate from the charter the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act of less than $5,000,001 in order to allow the Company to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation. As with potential redemptions in connection with an initial business combination, the Second Charter Amendment would restrict redemption rights in connection with any further amendment of the charter with respect to 15% or more of our public shares. The complete text of the proposed amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Even if approved by shareholders, our board or directors retains the discretionary authority not to file the Certificate of Amendment implementing the Second Charter Amendment if it subsequently determines that to do so would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Reasons for the Proposed Second Charter Amendment

Our board of directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to be allowed to carry out redemptions in the Optional Redemption in connection with the effectiveness of the First Charter Amendment, irrespective of whether such redemptions would exceed the Redemption Limitation.

If the Second Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, we plan to promptly file the amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to paragraphs eight, nine, ten and eleven of the Certificate of Amendment in the form set forth in Annex A of this proxy statement and, assuming the First Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and the First Charter Amendment is effected, redeem public shares in the Optional Redemption, irrespective of whether such redemptions exceed the Redemption Limitation. However, we may decide to abandon the Second Charter Amendment at any time and for any reason prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment setting forth the Second Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Assuming the First Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, if we abandon the Second Charter Amendment, public stockholders will not have their public shares redeemed in the Optional Redemption if the Redemption Limitation is exceeded.

If the First Charter Amendment Proposal is approved but the Second Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved, we will not redeem public shares to the extent that accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets. In the event that the Second Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and we receive notice of redemptions of public shares approaching or in excess of the Redemption Limitation, we and/or the Sponsor expect to take action to increase our net tangible assets to avoid the Redemption Limitation, which may include, at our and our Sponsor’s option and in our and its sole discretion, any, several or all of the following actions: (a) attempting to secure waivers of certain of our significant liabilities, including the deferred underwriting fees; (b) cancelling or terminating other significant liabilities, such as the outstanding private placement

34

warrants; (c) entering into non-redemption agreements with certain of our significant stockholders; (d) purchasing public shares in the open market (subject to applicable law and regulation); and (e) obtaining a capital contribution from our Sponsor, which could result in the issuance of new shares of Class A common stock. Any shares of Class A common stock purchased by the Sponsor in the open market or from us would not be voted in connection with the proposals. If the Second Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Redemption Limitation is exceeded, either because we do not take action to increase our net tangible assets or because our attempt to do so is not successful, then we will not proceed with the Charter Amendments and we will not redeem any public shares in the Optional Redemption. In such case, public shares which a public stockholder elects to redeem but which are not redeemed shall be returned to such public stockholder or such public stockholder’s account and such public stockholder will retain the right to have their public shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed an initial business combination by the Current Termination Date.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of SLAC common stock at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve the Second Charter Amendment. Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Second Charter Amendment will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Second Charter Amendment.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE SECOND CHARTER AMENDMENT.

35

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our board of directors to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our board of directors may not be able to adjourn the special meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of SLAC common stock at the special meeting and entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, a stockholder’s failure to vote by proxy or online at the special meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

36

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

General

We are a blank check company formed as a Delaware corporation on December 1, 2020 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Prior to our entering into the Business Combination Agreement, we have focused on target businesses in the financial technology, enterprise software and consumer technology industries. Our sponsor is Social Leverage Acquisition Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”).

Pursuant to the IPO, on February 17, 2021, the Company sold 34,500,000 units, including the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase 4,500,000 additional units, at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of 6,000,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant to the Sponsor, generating proceeds of $9.0 million. Each whole private placement warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the trust account. If the Company does not complete a business combination within the prescribed timeframe, the private placement warrants will expire worthless. The private placement warrants will be non-redeemable for cash (except in certain limited circumstances) and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their private placement warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination.

The net proceeds of our initial public offering deposited into the trust account remain on deposit in the trust account earning interest. As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $345,524,198, held in the trust account.

Effecting Our Initial Business Combination

We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any operations until after the completion of our initial business combination. We intend to effect such business combination using cash held in our trust account (after any redemptions), the proceeds from the PIPE financing (through which W3BCLOUD has received commitments for $40 million from certain of W3BCLOUD’s existing securityholders for new investments in connection with the Transaction and has an agreement with a W3BCLOUD existing securityholder for an additional equity investment of $10 million, each of which is subject to certain conditions, and each of which is expected to be funded at the closing of the Transaction), additional funds, if any, otherwise available at closing, and the issuance of shares of our common stock. The Company and W3BCLOUD intend to raise additional capital of at least $100 million, though there is no

37

guarantee that such funds will be able to be raised on favorable terms or at all. The Business Combination Agreement requires that SLAC have at least $150 million in available cash immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction after taking into account such investments together with cash in the trust account net of stockholder redemptions and certain expenses.
