Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review. |
Restatement of Historical Financials
On October 18, 2024, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (the “Company”), after consultation with the Company’s management and independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 (the “Affected Financial Statements”), prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”), should no longer be relied upon due to certain errors in the calculation of the Company’s net loss per ordinary share contained therein.
The errors related to the reported weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for each period for which the Company’s consolidated statements for profit or loss and comprehensive loss were reported whereby the number of ordinary shares outstanding at the end of each period was erroneously reported as the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, thus resulting in the erroneous reporting of the Company’s net loss per ordinary share for each period presented in the Affected Financial Statements.
The erroneous calculations were not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with Deloitte Accountants B.V., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Next Steps
As a result of the misstatement, the Company intends to restate the Affected Financial Statements in an amendment to the 2022 Annual Report that the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable.
