Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On
April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled
“Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)”
(the “SEC Staff Statement”). Historically, GO Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) reflected the warrants issued
in August 2020 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering as a component of equity as opposed to liabilities on the
balance sheet, and the statement of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash changes in estimated fair value of the warrants,
based on the Company’s application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”),
which addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and
states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s
common stock.
In
light of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management, in consultation with the audit committee of the Company’s board
of directors (the “Audit Committee”), further evaluated its warrants under ASC 815-40. On May 24, 2021, management of the
Company and the Audit Committee concluded that the Company’s (i) previously issued audited balance sheet dated as of August 7,
2020 which was related to its initial public offering, (ii) unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 2020, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 16,
2020, and (iii) audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 12, 2020 (inception) through December
31, 2020 as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) should no
longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate the Annual Report. The Company intends to file an amendment to its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020 reflecting this reclassification of its warrants as a liability.
The Company is working diligently to finalize the valuation of the public and private placement warrants and prepare and file the restated
financial statements as soon as practicable. The adjustments to the financial statements will be set forth through expanded disclosure
in the financial statements included in the amended Form 10-K filing, including further describing the restatement and its impact on
previously reported amounts.
The
Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account or its
operating expenses.
The
Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant to this Item 4.02(a) with the Company’s independent
accountant.
