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”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In the Statement, the SEC staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since October 23, 2020 (the “IPO date”), Supernova Partners Acquisition Company, Inc. (the “Company” or “Supernova”) has accounted for its outstanding warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase common stock and forward purchase agreements as equity within its financial statements. However, as a result of the Statement, and after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent auditors, the Company has concluded that the Warrants and forward purchase agreements should be presented as liabilities on its financial statements as of the IPO date reported at fair value with subsequent fair value re-measurement at each reporting period.

On May 13, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), based on the recommendation of and after consultation with management, concluded that its audited financial statements for the period from August 31, 2020 (Inception) through December 31, 2020 as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 (the “Original 10-K”), its unaudited interim financial statements for the period from August 31, 2020 (Inception) through September 30, 2020 as included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on December 4, 2020 and its audited balance sheet as of October 23, 2020 included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 29, 2020 (the “Non-Reliance Periods”), should no longer be relied upon due to changes required to reclassify the Warrants and forward purchase agreements as liabilities to align with the requirements set forth in the Statement. The Audit Committee has discussed this approach with its independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP, and prepared an amendment (the “Amended Form 10-K”) to the Original Form 10-K reflecting the reclassification of the Warrants and forward purchase agreements for the Non-Reliance Periods. Concurrently with the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is filing the Amended Form 10-K which includes restated financial statements that reflect the revised valuation of the Warrants and forward purchase agreements.

Going forward, unless we amend the terms of our warrant agreement, we expect to continue to classify our warrants and forward purchase agreements as a liabilities, which would require us to incur the cost of measuring the fair value of the warrant and forward purchase agreement liabilities, and which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Important Information About the Transaction and Where to Find It

On March 17, 2021, Supernova entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Supernova, Orchids Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Supernova (“First Merger Sub”), Orchids Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Supernova (“Second Merger Sub”), and OfferPad, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Offerpad”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties will enter into a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) by which (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into Offerpad, with Offerpad being the surviving entity in the merger (the “First Merger”), and (ii) Offerpad will merge with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub being the surviving entity in the merger (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions” and the closing of the Transactions, the “Closing”). In connection with the Closing, Supernova will change its name to “Offerpad Solutions, Inc.”

Supernova has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”), which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Transactions and will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its stockholders. Supernova’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus in connection with Supernova’s solicitation of proxies for its stockholders’ meeting to be held to approve the Transactions because the proxy statement/prospectus will contain important information about Supernova, Offerpad and the Transactions. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to stockholders of Supernova as of a record date to be established for voting on the Transactions. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Supernova Partners Acquisition Company, Inc., 4301 50th Street NW, Suite 300, PMB 1044, Washington, DC 20016.

Participants in the Solicitation

Supernova, Offerpad and certain of their respective directors and officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of Supernova’s stockholders with respect to the approval of the Transactions. Supernova and Offerpad urge investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the Form S-4, including the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions, as these materials will contain important information about Offerpad, Supernova and the Transactions. Information regarding Supernova’s directors and officers and a description of their interests in Supernova is contained in Supernova’s prospectus dated October 22, 2020 relating to its initial public offering. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation, including Offerpad’s directors and officers, and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, is or will be included in the Form S-4 and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus for the Transactions when available. Each of these documents is, or will be, available at the SEC’s website or by directing a request to Supernova as described above under “Important Information About the Transaction and Where to Find It.”

Offerpad’s estimates of expenses and profitability; the evolution of the markets in which Offerpad competes; the ability of Offerpad to implement its strategic initiatives, expansion plans and continue to innovate its existing services; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Offerpad’s business; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Supernova’s final prospectus dated October 22, 2020 relating to its initial public offering.
