Exhibit
A

MATERIAL
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS

Subject
to the limitations, assumptions and qualifications described herein, in
the opinion of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, counsel to FirstSun, and
in the opinion of  Bracewell LLP, counsel to Pioneer,
theThe following discussion
summarizes the anticipated material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers generally applicable to U.S. holders (as
defined below) of Pioneer common stock who exchange their shares of Pioneer common stock for shares of FirstSun common stock pursuant
to the merger. The opinions of tax counsel for each of FirstSun and Pioneer is filed as Exhibit
8.1 and Exhibit 8.2, respectively, to the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part.
This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the “Code,” Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service, the “IRS,” and
other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this discussion and all of which are subject to change (possibly
with retroactive effect) and differing interpretations.

The following
discussion applies only to U.S. holders of Pioneer common stock who hold such stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221
of the Code (generally, property held for investment). Further, the discussion does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S.
federal income taxation that might be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances and does not apply to holders
subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (such as, for example, dealers or brokers in securities, commodities
or foreign currencies; traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting; banks and certain other
financial institutions; insurance companies; mutual funds; tax-exempt organizations; holders subject to the alternative minimum
tax provisions of the Code; persons who are required to recognize income or gain with respect to the merger no later than such
income or gain is required to be reported on an applicable financial statement under Section 451(b) of the Code; partnerships,
S corporations or other pass-through entities (or investors therein); regulated investment companies; real estate investment trusts;
former citizens or residents of the United States; U.S. expatriates; U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
holders who hold shares of Pioneer common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction or other
integrated investment; U.S. holders who acquired Pioneer common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, through
a tax qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation; or holders who exercise dissenters’ rights).

In addition,
the discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under any state, local or foreign tax, or under any U.S. federal
laws other than those pertaining to income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under the unearned income Medicare
contribution tax pursuant to the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or any withholding considerations under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (including the U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder and intergovernmental
agreements entered into pursuant thereto or in connection therewith).

For purposes
of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Pioneer common stock that is, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, (1) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation, or entity treated
as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof
or the District of Columbia, (3) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision
over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the
trust or (b) such trust has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or
(4) an estate, the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, regardless of its
source.

If an
entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a holder of Pioneer common stock, the tax
treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.
Any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is a holder of Pioneer common stock, and any partners
in such partnership, should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the merger to their specific circumstances.

All
holders of Pioneer common stock should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of the mergers
in light of their particular facts and circumstances, including the applicability and effect of any state, local, foreign and
other tax laws.

In General

The
mergers, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” within
the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Consummation of the merger is conditioned upon FirstSun receiving an opinion from
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP and upon Pioneer receiving an opinion from Bracewell LLP, each in form reasonably satisfactory
to such recipient, dated as of the closing date, both to the effect that, based upon facts, representations and assumptions set
forth in such opinions, the mergers will constitutequalify
as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The issuance
of the

It
is the opinion of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, counsel
to FirstSun, and Bracewell LLP, counsel to Pioneer, that the mergers
will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)
of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that accordingly
the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers generally applicable to U.S. holders of Pioneer common stock
who exchange their shares of Pioneer common stock for shares of FirstSun common stock pursuant to the merger will be those set
forth in this section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers.”

The
opinions is conditioneddescribed
in the preceding paragraphs are and will be based on, among other things, such tax
counsel’s receipt of representation letters from each of Pioneer or FirstSun, in each case in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to such counsel, and on customary factual assumptions, including, but not limited to, the assumption that
the mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement. If any of the representations or assumptions
upon which those opinions are based is incorrect or incomplete, the validity of the opinions may be affected and the tax consequences
of the mergers could differ from those described in this proxy statement/prospectus. NeitherNone
of these opinions of counsel, norincluding
the opinions delivered in connection with the filing of this Registration Statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy
statement/prospectus forms a part, is binding on the IRS or any court. No ruling has been, or will be, sought from the IRS by
FirstSun or Pioneer as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the mergers, and as a result, there can be no assurance
that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth herein.
Accordingly, each holder of Pioneer common stock should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequences
of the mergers to such holder. The following is based on the receipt and accuracy of the above
described opinions.
