Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The information set forth under Item 4.02 is incorporated into this Item 2.02 by reference.

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review

On May 3, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) of CuriosityStream Inc. (the “Company”), following the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in response to the statement released by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the balance sheet classification of certain contracts that may be settled in an entity’s stock, such as warrants, and after discussion with its independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, its valuation firm and its legal advisors, concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “10-K”) should be restated to reflect the impact of this guidance by the SEC staff and accordingly, should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, any previously furnished or filed reports, related earnings releases, investor presentations or similar communications of the Company describing the Company’s financial results contained in the 10-K should no longer be relied upon.

Background

On April 12, 2021, the SEC staff issued a statement (the “Statement”) on the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies. The Statement referenced the guidance included in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles that entities must consider in determining whether to classify contracts that may be settled in its own stock, such as warrants, as equity or as an asset or liability.

After considering the Statement, the Company re-evaluated its historical accounting for its warrants and concluded it must amend the accounting treatment of the private placement warrants (the “Warrants”) issued to Software Acquisition Holdings LLC, the former sponsor of Software Acquisition Group, Inc. (“SWAG”), in connection with a private placement that closed concurrently with the initial public offering of SWAG and recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of the business combination between SWAG and CuriosityStream Operating Inc. (formerly named CuriosityStream Inc.) (the “Merger”) and the reverse recapitalization that occurred on October 14, 2020. At that time, the Warrants were presented within equity and did not impact any reporting periods prior to the Merger.

Based on the Company’s reassessment, it determined that the Warrants should have been classified as liabilities measured at fair value on the closing date of the Merger, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations each reporting period. The Company intends to promptly file restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 on Form 10-K/A.

In light of the restatement discussed above, the Company reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 and determined that a material weakness existed related to the Company’s accounting for the Warrants. As a result of the restatement discussed above, the Company expects to recognize incremental non-operating expense of $8 million to $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company anticipates that the first quarter 2021 non-operating expense related to this issue will be between $3 million and $5 million. The Company expects that there will be no material impact to its historically reported cash and cash equivalents, or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

All estimates contained in this report are subject to change as management completes the Form 10-K/A, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited or reviewed these estimates or ranges. An audit of annual financial statements and/or review of quarterly financial statements could result in material changes to these ranges and estimates. Further details will be included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A.

The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 16, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CuriosityStream Inc. (the “Company”) and the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) reviewed and approved the grant of certain equity incentive awards in 2021 under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to executive officers of the Company. The Board approved the grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options to Tia Cudahy, Jason Eustace and Devin Emery. The equity awards were approved to be granted in two tranches: (1) the first tranche awards were granted on the date that is two days after the release of the Company’s December 31, 2020 quarterly and fiscal year earnings (the “First Tranche”), and (2) the second tranche awards will be granted on the date that is two days after the release of the Company’s September 30, 2021 quarterly earnings (the “Second Tranche”). The terms of these awards are disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on March 19, 2021. The First Tranche was granted on March 25, 2021.

Upon subsequent review by the Board and the Compensation Committee, it was determined that, in order to correctly align the First Tranche with the intended equity incentive structure of the Company for 2021, additional stock options in an amount calculated based on their Black-Scholes valuation should be granted to Tia Cudahy, Jason Eustace and Devin Emery. Therefore, on April 27, 2021, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved an additional grant of 4,758 stock options to each of these executive officers. The first $100,000 of stock options (measured by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the shares underlying the options) that are scheduled to vest in any calendar year with respect to each executive officer are treated as incentive stock options to the extent permitted under applicable law. The remaining stock options are treated as non-qualified stock options. The option exercise price is equal to the Fair Market Value on the grant date.

The Board and the Compensation Committee also approved certain changes to the Second Tranche awards. Previously, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved a number of RSUs to be granted to each executive officer on each grant date in an amount equal to the product of $120,000 and 25%, divided by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the grant date, and a number of stock options to be granted to each executive officer on each grant date in an amount equal to the product of $120,000 and 75%, divided by the Fair Market Value on the grant date. The Board and Compensation Committee made certain changes to the number of RSUs and stock options comprising the Second Tranche so that (i) the number of RSUs and stock options granted may be rounded down to the closest number divisible by 16, for ease of administration, and (ii) the number of stock options to be granted to each executive officer on each grant date is an amount equal to the product of $120,000 and 75%, divided by the Black-Scholes valuation of a share of the Corporation’s common stock on the grant date.
