EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Atlas Crest Investment Corp. II (the "Company") is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend and restate the Company’s audited balance sheet as of February 8, 2021 that had been filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 12, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”). The audited balance sheet is being restated to reflect the classification of the Company’s warrants as a liability, in accordance with the SEC’s April 12, 2021 public statement (the “Statement”) informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) may need to be classified as liabilities as opposed to equity, and being measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The Company had previously classified its private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “warrants”) as equity within the Original 8-K.

 

Further, on November 5, 2021, the Company filed its Quarterly Report as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 (the "Q3 Form 10-Q") on Form 10-Q, which included a Note 2, Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements, (“Note 2”) that describes a revision to the Company’s classification of its Class A common stock subject to redemption issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on February 8, 2021. As described in Note 2, upon its IPO, the Company classified a portion of the Class A common stock 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 common stock subject to redemption included certain provisions that require classification of the Class A common stock 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 common stock subject to redemption as temporary equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

 

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 issued financial statements in Note 2 to 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 common stock subject to redemption and change to its presentation of earnings per share is material quantitatively and the Company should restate its previously issued financial statements. 

 

On November 29, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), after discussion with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of February 8, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Original 8-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021, (ii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 24, 2021, (iii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021, and (iv) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 5, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon and that it is appropriate to restate the Company’s financial statements for the Affected Periods.

 

The Company determined that none of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO.

 

The correction of the aforementioned errors of the accounting for the warrants and Class A common stock subject to redemption are reflected in Exhibit 99.1 included with this Amendment.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other disclosures in the Original 8-K. In addition, the information contained in this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original 8-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein, except as specifically identified above. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 8-K have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to us after the date of the Original 8-K, other than as described herein, and such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC.
