Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued
Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On November 12, 2021, Bridgetown Holdings Limited (the
“Company”) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 Form
10-Q”), which included in Note 2, Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements (“Note 2”), a discussion of the
revision to a portion of the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the classification of its Class A ordinary shares
subject to redemption issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on October 20,
2020. As described in Note 2, upon its IPO, the Company classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as permanent
equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination
only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. The Company’s management re-evaluated the conclusion and determined
that the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption included certain provisions that require classification of the Class A ordinary
shares subject to redemption should be treated as temporary equity regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete
the Company’s initial business combination. As a result, management corrected the error by revising all Class A ordinary shares
subject to redemption as temporary equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and
Class A ordinary shares.
As described above, originally the Company determined
the changes were not qualitatively material to the Company’s previously issued financial statements and revised its previously financial
statements in Note 2 in its Q3 Form 10-Q. However, upon further consideration of the material nature of the changes, the Company determined
the change in classification of the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption and change to its presentation of earnings per share
are material quantitatively and the Company should restate its previously issued financial statements.
Therefore, on December 21, 2021, the audit
committee of the board of directors of the Company determined, after discussion with its advisors, that (i) the Company’s
audited balance sheet as of October 20, 2020 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 26, 2020, (ii) the Company’s audited financial
statements as of December 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2021,
as amended (iii) the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2021 contained in the Company’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 24, 2021, (iv) the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2021
contained in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021, and (v)
the Company’s unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2021 contained in the Q3 Form 10-Q (collectively, the
“Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon due to the reclassification described above. As a result,
the Company plans to restate its financial statements for all Affected Periods, to indicate that the classification error is a
restatement and not a revision, in (i) an amended Q3 Form 10-Q and (ii) an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended
December 31, 2020, which the Company intends to file as soon as practicable.
The Company does not expect the changes described above
to have any impact on its cash position or the balance held in the trust account.
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 WithumSmith+Brown, PC,
the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
