| Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement and Related Audit Report. |
On November 22, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), after consultation with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of March 18, 2021, as previously restated in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 4, 2021 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”), (ii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Q1 Form 10-Q and (iii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon due to a reclassification of the Company’s temporary and permanent equity and resulting restatement of the initial carrying value of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (and related changes). In addition, the audit report of Marcum included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2021 should no longer be relied upon. The reclassification has resulted from a determination by the Company’s management that the Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with its initial public offering can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Therefore, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption should be valued at $10.00 per share and should not take into account the fact that a redemption of Class A ordinary shares cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001.
The Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”).
As such, the Company has restated its financial statements for the Affected Periods in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 22, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”), as described therein.
The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the classification error described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The Company’s remediation with respect to such material weakness is described in more detail in the Q3 Form 10-Q.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with Marcum.
| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
Effective November 21, 2021 Clay Whitehead resigned his positions as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company in order to pursue other investment opportunities. The resignation of Mr. Whitehead did not result from any disagreement with the Company concerning any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
