Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. (“Tempo” or the “Company”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”). The Company has determined that it is unable to file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons set forth below.
Reasons for Delay
The Company has determined that it is unable to file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because it requires additional time to complete its financial statement preparation and review process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the process of finalizing the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and requires additional time to complete its audit of such financial statements for purposes of inclusion in the Form 10-K. Among other things, the Company is continuing to assess the accounting treatment and value of certain complex financial instruments issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Tempo Automation, Inc. in November 2022. In the process of preparing the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, management also discovered potential material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures relating to insufficient and untimely review of significant accounting transactions and reconciliation related to revenue recognition, equity administration and significant financing transactions. Although the assessment is not yet complete, the Company expects to report material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. Management is assessing its existing controls and procedures and expects to recommend to the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company various measures intended to remediate and improve the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures in future periods. The Company is working diligently to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable and expects to file the Form 10-K on or before April 15, 2023, which is within fifteen calendar days of the prescribed filing date.

| Ryan Benton | (408) | 599-2818 | |||
| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) | |||
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). | ||||
| Yes x NO ¨ | |||||
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? | ||||
| Yes x NO ¨ | |||||
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company anticipates significant changes to its results of operations for the period ended December 31, 2022 compared to the period ended December 31, 2021. These changes are consistent with the selected financial information disclosed in the Company’s issued press release included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 27, 2023 (“Form 8-K”) announcing its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. The financial results in the Form 8-K were unaudited and represented the most current information available to management. However, because management’s review is ongoing, there can be no assurance that the financial and accounting information referred to in this filing will not change upon completion of the financial statements and filing of the Company’s Form 10-K. | |||||
