Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.
The Company has re-evaluated its application of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to the treatment of the purchase of founder shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”), by our independent directors from our Sponsor on July 6, 2021. Historically, no compensation expense was recorded as a result of the stock purchase. Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company’s management has determined that compensation expense should have been recorded for the stock purchase at the time of the transaction.
Therefore, on March 9, 2022, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors concluded that the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on January 14, 2022 (the “Original Filing”) should be restated to report compensation expense related to the purchase of Founder Shares by our independent directors from our Sponsor, and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will file an amendment to the Original Filing, and the unaudited interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 will be restated within the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, to be filed with the SEC.
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.
