PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
Churchill Capital Corp IV (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.
On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued a public statement (the “SEC Warrant Accounting Statement”) on accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). The SEC Warrant Accounting Statement discussed “certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions” that “may be common across many entities.” The SEC Warrant Accounting Statement indicated that when one or more of such features is included in a warrant, the warrant “should be classified as a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.”
The Company previously classified its public warrants and private placement warrants issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Warrants”) as equity instruments. Upon further consideration of the rules and guidance, management of the Company concluded that the Warrants are precluded from equity classification. As a result, the Warrants should be recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
On May 14, 2021, the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, after consultation with management and a discussion with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that its financial statements as of December 31, 2020; as of August 3, 2020; for the period from April 30, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020; and as of and for the period ended September 30, 2020 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”) should no longer be relied upon and are to be restated due to the error described above.
On May 14, 2021, the Company filed a Form 8-K announcing that its financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods should no longer be relied upon. On May 14, 2021, the Company also filed a Form 10-K/A to amend the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 to restate the financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods. The Company is reviewing the impacts of the corrections on the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. As a result of the foregoing, as well as the time and dedication of resources needed to prepare the Form 10-Q, the Company was unable to provide complete financial results for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021 and file the Form 10-Q by the required due date of May 17, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company is working diligently and currently expects to file its Form 10-Q within five calendar days, but ultimately may not be able to do so.

If answer is no, identify report(s). x Yes ¨ No |

The Company is a blank check company formed for the purposes of effecting a business combination with one or more businesses.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 12b-25 includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the completion of the Company’s quarterly review procedures, many of which are outside the Company’s control, the Company’s expectations with respect to the timing of the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 and the restatement. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results, including those under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 14, 2021 and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
