Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
Itiquira Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) historically classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares as permanent equity. On November 12, 2021, the management and the Audit Committee of the Company, after consultation with Marcum LLP, concluded that, in light of certain reclassification errors related to temporary equity and permanent equity made in the historical financial statements, it is appropriate to amend and restate the Company’s audited balance sheet as of February 8, 2021 filed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2021, the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 that were included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, respectively (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Financial Statements”).
Considering such restatements, the Non-Reliance Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon. The Company will include a restatement footnote in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 to reflect the corrections for the reclassification errors related to temporary equity and permanent equity with respect to the Non-Reliance Financial Statements. These restatements will have no impact on the Company’s current or previously reported cash position, operating expenses or total operating, investing or financing cash flows.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
