Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of View, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 195 S. Milpitas Blvd., Milpitas CA 95035.

 

This Schedule 13D amends the statement on Schedule 13G filed by the Reporting Persons to report their beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock, as most recently amended on February 14, 2023. The Reporting Persons are filing this Schedule 13D, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(e) under the Act, solely as a result of their entering into the Intercreditor Agreement (defined in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D).

 

In addition, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reported throughout this Schedule 13D reflect the 60-for-1 reverse stock split of the Class A Common Stock that became effective on July 26, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

(a-c, f) This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of each of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”):

 

CF Group Management, Inc., a New York corporation (“CFGM”);

 

Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Cantor”);

 

CF Finance Holdings II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CFHII”);

 

Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, a New York general partnership (“CFS”);

 

CF Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CFPI”);

 

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., a New York general partnership (“CF&Co”); and

 

Howard W. Lutnick, a United States citizen (“Mr. Lutnick”).

 

CFHII, CFPI and CF&Co. are record holders of the securities reported herein. CFS is the managing member of CFPI and controls the managing general partner of CF&Co. Cantor, as its sole member, controls CFHII and Cantor indirectly controls each of CFS, CFPI and CF&Co. Cantor is controlled by CFGM, its managing general partner. Mr. Lutnick is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CFGM and also the trustee of CFGM’s sole stockholder and therefore controls CFGM. As such, each of CFS, Cantor, CFGM and Mr. Lutnick may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities directly held by each of CFPI and CF&Co, and each of Cantor, CFGM and Mr. Lutnick may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities directly held by CFHII. Each such entity or person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported shares other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest they may have therein, directly or indirectly.

 

The address of the business office of each of the Reporting Persons is 110 East 59th Street, New York, New York 10022.

 

The Reporting Persons have executed a Joint Filing Agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendment or amendments hereto, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D.

 

(d) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was, or is subject to, a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The aggregate amount of consideration for the shares of Class A Common Stock currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was $17,148,810. The aggregate amount of consideration for the Existing Notes, which are currently excluded from the Reporting Persons’ reported beneficial ownership due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, was $11,850,000 (which excludes shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the additional principal amount that was issued to CFPI as paid in kind interest). The source of these funds was the working capital of Cantor, except for certain shares of Class A Common Stock and Existing Notes that were acquired as payment for fees for services performed by CF&Co.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

By virtue of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act) with certain other parties to the Intercreditor Agreement. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Persons are members of a group with all of the other parties to the Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Class A Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the other parties to the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review, reconsider and/or change their position or purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto. At any time and from time to time, the Reporting Persons may, in connection with monitoring and evaluating their investment in the Issuer, and after giving consideration to, among other things, any communications about the Issuer, market conditions, contractual restrictions (including but not limited to limitations on conversion or exercise of securities held by the Reporting Persons or the Separately Reporting Persons), legal restrictions, and/or other conditions, formulate a plan, proposal or other course of action which may relate to or result in, among other things and without limitation: (i) the purchase of additional shares of Class A Common Stock, options or related derivatives in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise; (ii) the sale of all or a portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock, options or related derivatives now beneficially owned or hereafter acquired by them; (iii) exercising any rights that the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may have under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) in their capacity as Lenders (as defined below) thereunder; (iv) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (v) seeking to influence or change the present board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) or management of the Issuer, including but not limited to with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer; or (vi) any of the other matters referred to in the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may consider pursuing such plans, proposals or other courses of action with the Issuer’s management, the Board, other Issuer shareholders, advisors or other persons.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a)-(b) The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are as set forth below. The aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned includes shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants, and excludes shares of Class A Common Stock underlying Existing Notes due to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, each as disclosed in footnote (1) of each Reporting Person’s cover page.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide to the Issuer: (i) a $12.5 million senior secured term loan facility, which was fully drawn on the Closing Date of the Credit Agreement; and (ii) a $37.5 million senior secured delayed draw term loan facility (with $12.5 million of such delayed draw term loans available from and after November 1, 2023, and the remaining $25.0 million available from and after January 1, 2024, in each case subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement), each maturing on September 30, 2027. One of the Lenders, RXR FP Investor IV LP, is an affiliate of RXR FP Services LLC, which is an affiliate of RXR Realty LLC and has a Board appointment right and had previously designated a member of the Board (such member resigned effective October 10, 2023). The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Issuer’s Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2023 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Lenders and certain of their affiliates are holders of the Issuer’s outstanding 6.00% / 9.00% Convertible Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2027 (the “Existing Notes”). CFPI holds an aggregate $12,863,102 of Existing Notes that, without regard to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation set forth in a side letter agreement with the Issuer, dated as of October 26, 2022 (the “Cantor Side Letter”), currently give it the right to acquire up to 160,287 shares of Class A Common Stock. However, pursuant to a side letter agreement between RXR FP Investor LP and RXR FP Investor II LP, each an affiliate of RXR Realty LLC, and the Issuer, dated as of October 26, 2022 (the “RXR Side Letter”), each of RXR FP Investor LP and RXR FP Investor II LP may not convert their Existing Notes into shares of Class A Common Stock to the extent that the delivery of any shares of Class A Common Stock or any other security otherwise deliverable upon such conversion would result in them, together with their affiliates or persons whose beneficial ownership would be aggregated with RXR FP Investor LP or RXR FP Investor II LP, in the aggregate, having “beneficial ownership,” as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Act, including the definition of any “group” of which either RXR FP Investor LP or RXR FP Investor II LP is a member, of shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of 4.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Accordingly, because the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” that includes RXR FP Investor LP, the Reporting Persons may be deemed subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The foregoing description of each of the Cantor Side Letter and the RXR Side Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the execution version of each of the Cantor Side Letter and the RXR Side Letter, a copy of each of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

As a material inducement for each Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement, CFPI, the Other Lenders and certain affiliates of RXR Realty LLC (such affiliates, together with the Other Lenders, the “RXR Consortium Members” and, together with CFPI, the “Investors”) entered into a participation and intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) dated as of October 16, 2023, with CFS serving as administrative agent and collateral agent. Pursuant to the I ntercreditor Agreement: (i) the RXR Consortium Members agreed, among other things, (A) to transfer an undivided 50% participation interest in the Existing Notes held by the RXR Consortium Members (the “RXR Consortium Notes”), other than the Existing Notes included in the SPV II Interest (as defined below), to CFPI and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to CFPI an undivided 50% participation interest in (x) RXR FP GP LLC’s interest in the equity of (including promote), and any management fees in, RXR FP Investor II LP (“RXR FP Investor II”) and (y) the portion of the RXR Consortium Notes held by RXR FP Investor II solely attributable to RXR FP Investor LLC (the “SPV II Interest”); and (ii) CFPI agreed, among other things, to transfer an undivided 50% participation interest in the Existing Notes held by CFPI to the RXR Consortium Members. Each of RXR FP GP LLC and CFPI, acting jointly, serve as lender representatives for the Investors under the Intercreditor Agreement (the “Lender Representatives”). Each Investor agreed to exercise any rights or powers available to it to (i) reject and oppose, and if applicable, vote against, any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification (or any transaction requiring any of the foregoing) that is rejected by the Lender Representatives and (ii) support and, if applicable, vote in favor of, any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification (or any transaction requiring any of the foregoing) that has been approved by the Lender Representatives, in each case, in respect the Existing Notes indenture or the Credit Agreement or otherwise. In addition, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, any additional Existing Notes acquired by any Investor after the effective date of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be treated consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and each of the Investors agreed to not transfer or convert any of their Existing Notes or, subject to certain limited exceptions, their Commitments or Loans (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) without the consent of the Lender Representatives. Each Investor further agreed that it will not, without each of the Lender Representatives’ prior written consent: (i) commence or continue any bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding (“Proceeding”) against the Issuer or its subsidiaries, (ii)(x) solicit, support, propose or vote in favor of any arrangement, plan in any Proceeding, sale, or proposal or (y) file or support any motion, pleading or material in support of any motion, arrangement, plan in any Proceeding, sale, or proposal that, in the case of (x) and (y), challenges the priority of the Collateral (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement), is inconsistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, is opposed by the Lender Representatives, or is adverse to the interests of the Lender Representatives, (iii) materially impair the rights of the Lender Representatives, or (iv) oppose any sale or plan in any Proceeding that is supported by the Lender Representatives.
