A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Annex F.

•        Proposal 7.    The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by stockholder approval the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, any of the PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal and the Condition Precedent Proposals would not be duly approved and adopted by our stockholders or we determine that one or more of the closing conditions under the Business Combination Agreement is not satisfied or waived (we refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. The Condition Precedent Proposals will be presented to the stockholders for a vote only if the PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal is approved. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Appreciate Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. The

Business Combination is not conditioned on the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. The PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal, though the amendments contemplated by the PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal will be adopted only if the Business Combination Proposal is approved. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which each stockholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the following:

•        Immediately prior to the Closing, (a) PTIC II shall form NewCo LLC, for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (b) each share of PTIC II Class B Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing shall be converted into one (1) share of PTIC II Class A Common Stock, (c) the Proposed Appreciate Charter and the Proposed Appreciate Bylaws shall become the Governing Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of PTIC II, and (d) PTIC II will change its name to “Appreciate Holdings, Inc.” in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement;

•        On the Closing Date, (a) Rolling Renters Warehouse Unitholders will contribute all of their Existing Renters Warehouse LLC Interests to NewCo LLC in exchange for non-voting NewCo LLC Class B Units, (b) the NewCo LLC Agreement will be amended and restated in the required form, (c) PTIC II will contribute the Closing Date Contribution Amount to NewCo LLC in exchange for NewCo LLC Class A Units and (d) the NewCo LLC Unitholders (other than PTIC II) will receive a number of shares of Appreciate Class B Common Stock equal to the Transaction Equity Security Amount, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

•        Following the completion of the Business Combination, as described above, our organizational structure will be what is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership corporation (or “Up-C”) structure. This organizational structure will allow the Rolling Renters Warehouse Unitholders, as Continuing Members (as defined in the Amended and Restated NewCo LLC Agreement), to retain their equity ownership in NewCo LLC, an entity that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in the form of NewCo LLC Class B Units issued pursuant to the Business Combination.

PTIC II will hold limited liability company interests in NewCo LLC and will be the managing member of NewCo LLC; and the Rolling Renters Warehouse Unitholders will hold non-voting NewCo LLC Class B Units.

In connection with the Business Combination, PTIC II will be renamed “Appreciate Holdings, Inc.” Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will be organized in an Up-C structure. The parties agreed to structure the Business Combination in this manner for business purposes, and we do not believe that our Up-C organizational structure will give rise to any significant business or strategic benefit or detriment. See the section entitled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to PTIC II and the Business Combination” for additional information on our organizational structure, including the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The PTIC II Units (as defined below), PTIC II Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants (as defined in the proxy statement) are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “PTICU,” “PTIC” and “PTICW,” respectively. PTIC II will apply for listing, to be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, of Appreciate Class A Common Stock and warrants on the Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “SFR” and “SFRW,” respectively.

In connection with the Business Combination, PTIC II entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “CEF Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 17, 2022, with CF Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, relating to a committed equity facility (the “Committed Equity Facility”) that will be available to support Appreciate following the Closing of the Business Combination, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the CEF Purchase Agreement.

If you are a registered stockholder, please vote your shares as soon as possible to ensure that your vote is counted, regardless of whether you expect to attend the Special Meeting virtually, by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Appreciate Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. The Appreciate Charter Proposal, the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and satisfaction of other closing conditions.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted “FOR” for the PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal, “FOR” for the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” for the Appreciate Charter Proposal, “FOR” for the Advisory Governing Documents Proposals, “FOR” for the Nasdaq Proposal and “FOR” for the Equity Incentive Plan Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to submit your proxy by telephone or over the internet, or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Special Meeting in person by virtual attendance, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, and, if a quorum is present, will have no effect on the Stockholder Proposals. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote during the Special Meeting, you may withdraw your proxy and vote during the Special Meeting.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND THAT PTIC II REDEEM YOUR SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO PTIC II’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of the PTIC II Board, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

The PTIC II Units (as defined below), PTIC II Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants (as defined in the proxy statement) are currently listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “PTICU,” “PTIC” and “PTICW,” respectively. PTIC II intends to issue PTIC II Class A Common Stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as required by, and pursuant to, the Nasdaq listing requirements.

In connection with the Business Combination, PTIC II entered into a common stock purchase agreement (the “CEF Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 17, 2022, with CF Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, relating to a committed equity facility that will be available to support Appreciate following the Closing of the Business Combination, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the CEF Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to PTIC II’s amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated as of December 3, 2020, PTIC II is providing holders of PTIC II Class A Common Stock (“PTIC II Class A Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem, upon the Closing, shares of PTIC II Class A Common Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two (2) business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination) in the trust account (the “Trust Account”) that holds the proceeds (including interest but less franchise and income taxes payable) of PTIC II’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $230.0 million on March 31, 2022, the estimated per-share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. PTIC II Class A Stockholders may elect to redeem their PTIC II Class A Common Stock even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A PTIC II Class A Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, 15% or more of the shares of PTIC II Common Stock included in the PTIC II units sold in the IPO, which consist of one share of PTIC II Class A Common Stock and one-third of one Public Warrant (the “PTIC II Units”). Holders of outstanding Warrants (as defined in the proxy statement) and PTIC II Units do not have redemption rights with respect to such securities in connection with the Business Combination.

Holders of outstanding PTIC II Units must separate the underlying shares of PTIC II Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the PTIC II Class A Common Stock. The Sponsor and the Other PTIC II Class B Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of PTIC II Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Currently, the Sponsor and the Other PTIC II Class B Stockholders own an aggregate amount of approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of PTIC II Common Stock, including PTIC II Class A Common Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the proxy statement). The Sponsor and the Other PTIC II Class B Stockholders, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, have agreed to vote any shares of PTIC II Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the related transactions.

PTIC II is providing this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card to holders of PTIC II Common Stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, PTIC II urges you to read this proxy statement (and any documents incorporated into this proxy statement by reference) carefully.

When you consider the PTIC II Board’s recommendation of the Stockholder Proposals, you should keep in mind that the directors and officers of PTIC II have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. The Condition Precedent Proposals will be presented to the stockholders for a vote only if the PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal is approved.

Q:     WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS DOCUMENT?

A:     PTIC II is sending this proxy statement to its stockholders to help them decide how to vote their shares of PTIC II Common Stock with respect to the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting.

The Business Combination cannot be completed unless PTIC II Stockholders approve the PTIC II Charter Amendment Proposal, the Business Combination Proposal, the Appreciate Charter Proposal and the Nasdaq Proposal set forth in this proxy statement. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination, and the other business to be considered by stockholders at the Special Meeting is contained in this proxy statement.

This document constitutes a proxy statement of PTIC II. It is a proxy statement because the PTIC II Board is soliciting proxies using this proxy statement from its stockholders. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 2 — The Business Combination Proposal — Vote Required for Approval.”

Q:     WHAT WILL PTIC II STOCKHOLDERS OWN AS A RESULT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION?

In addition, there are 12,500,000 Warrants to acquire PTIC II Class A Common Stock, comprised of 7,666,667 Public Warrants and 4,833,333 Private Placement Warrants.

Following the Business Combination, we expect that Appreciate will be considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules and may elect to take advantage of certain “controlled company” exemptions. See the section entitled “Management Following the Business Combination — Independence of the Appreciate Board.”

A.      The parties currently expect that the Business Combination will be completed late in the second half of 2022. However, neither PTIC II nor Renters Warehouse can assure you of when or if the Business Combination will be completed, and it is possible that factors outside of the control of the companies could result in the Business Combination being completed at a different time or not at all.

Q:     WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED?

A:     If PTIC II does not complete the Business Combination with Renters Warehouse for any reason, PTIC II would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If PTIC II does not complete the Business Combination with Renters Warehouse or a business combination with another target business by December 8, 2022 (unless such date is extended in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents), PTIC II must redeem 100% of the outstanding PTIC II Class A Common Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the amount then held in the Trust Account (less income taxes paid or payable, if any, and up to $0.1 million of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding PTIC II Class A Common Stock. The Sponsor has no redemption rights in the event a business combination is
