Gores Holdings II, Inc. Notes to the Unaudited, Interim Financial Statements

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Private Placement Warrants, page FS-15

6.              Comment:  We note your response to comment 33. Please confirm whether or not the Private Placement Warrants may be settled in unregistered shares. In doing so, explain to us the settlement terms and revise your risk factor spanning pages 96-97 to provide additional clarity. See ASC 815-40-25-10 through -16.

Response:  The Staff’s comment is noted.  The Company respectfully confirms that if the shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants or Private Placement Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, holders have the right to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for unregistered shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or

another exemption.  However, no such warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder or an exemption from state registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A Stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will be required to use our best efforts to register the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Additionally, we intend to list our Class A Stock on Nasdaq Capital Market such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security”. The Company respectfully directs the Staff to Sections 3.3.2 and 7.4.1 of the Warrant Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on January 19, 2017, for the settlement terms.  The Company has also revised the disclosure by defining “warrants” on page 11 to refer to both public warrants and Private Placement Warrants and has revised the disclosure on page 96.

7.              Comment:  We note your response to comment 36. Please tell us in sufficient detail how you determined that the tax receivable agreement fell within the scope of ASC 450 and should be accrued upfront in full as a reduction to equity. Explain how you determined the agreement does not represent compensation or a profit-sharing type arrangement that should be recognized as an expense over the agreement term.

Response:  Verra Mobility advises the Staff that the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) between the Platinum Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative will generally provide for the payment by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Business Combination.  The potential cash savings are specific to certain tax assets generated from the acquisition of Highway Toll Administration LLC (“HTA”) prior to the Business Combination and were established while the Platinum Stockholder was the majority shareholder of Verra Mobility Corporation.

ASC 450 defines a contingent liability as a potential liability that may occur depending on the outcome of an uncertain future event. A contingent liability is recorded if the contingency is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Both parties have agreed to a computation of the estimated benefit amount. Verra Mobility Corporation will record an amount representing the portion of the benefit paid to the Platinum Shareholder based on projections of future taxable income.  If the Company does not have sufficient taxable income to utilize the deductions in the future, payment will not be required in the future.

Verra Mobility believes this arrangement does not represent compensation to the Platinum Stockholder, as the tax benefits were established prior to the Business Combination as part of the Verra Mobility’s acquisition of HTA as noted above and the arrangement contains no requirement for the rendering of future services.

4

Payments under the TRA are not tied to any future profits nor do they represent profit sharing as a result, but rather, future cash tax savings related to the tax benefits that were established prior to the Business Combination.

As the TRA will represent a liability to distribute funds to shareholders and relates to tax attributes in existence prior to the Business Combination, Verra Mobility believes it should be treated as reduction to equity. This accounting is similar to a declared dividend.

If the Staff has any questions or would like further information concerning the Company’s responses to the Comment Letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (214) 746-7779.  Thank you for your time and consideration.
