NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FirstMark Horizon Acquisition Corp. (“FMAC” or “FirstMark”) (NYSE: FMAC) reminds its stockholders of the structure in its proposed business combination with Starry, Inc. (“Starry”) and Starry Group Holdings, Inc. (“Starry Group Holdings”) that provides non-redeeming stockholders with a pro rata right to a portion of additional shares of the post-business combination company and reminds FirstMark stockholders to vote “FOR” the proposed business combination with Starry and Starry Group Holdings.

Pro Rata Share and Value Distribution to Non-Redeeming Stockholders

The proposed business combination with Starry is structured to provide FMAC stockholders that do not redeem their shares of FMAC common stock with a right to a pro rata portion of an additional 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Starry Group Holdings, the post-business combination public company (“Starry Group Holdings Class A Common Stock”). These shares of Starry Group Holdings Class A Common Stock have been registered pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2021, as amended and supplemented from time to time, and will be delivered by the exchange agent to non-redeeming stockholders of FMAC upon the consummation of the proposed business combination.

These pro rata shares result in additional value being delivered to non-redeeming stockholders based on the final Class A Exchange Ratio of between 1.0242 and 1.2415, which depends on the overall level of redemptions. The table below represents possible scenarios based on a $10 per share price:

Redemption Level	FirstMark Class A Exchange Ratio	Net Incremental Value Per Share to Non- Redeeming Stockholders	Implied Price Per Share with 1M Pro Rata Shares	Implied Discount to Non-Redeeming Stockholders
0.0 % (No redemption scenario)	1.0242	$ 0.24	$ 9.76	2.4 %
94% (Assuming redemption of all shares except shares subject to currently filed non-redemption agreements and also assuming waiver of the minimum cash condition by Starry)	1.2415	$ 2.42	$ 8.05	19.5%

To invest in Starry, individuals can buy public shares of FMAC and hold them through the closing of the proposed business combination, at which time their FMAC public shares will automatically convert to Starry Group Holdings Class A Common Stock on a greater than 1:1 basis.
