Amendment Description	References throughout this Amendment No. 2 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” the “Company” or “our company” are to CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp., unless the context otherwise indicates. This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp., for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2021 (the “Original Filing”) and the Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A of CITIC Capital Acquisition Corp., for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1”). In preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, the Company concluded it should restate its financial statements to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity, or total stockholders’ equity. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association currently provides that the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. The Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets. Therefore, on December 13, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of February 13, 2020, as previously revised in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021 and (ii) audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, as previously revised in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021 should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. We are filing this Amendment No. 2 to include additional risk factors under Item 1A, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation described in Item 7, and Financial Statements and Supplementary Data described in Item 8, which such financial data give effect to the change in accounting for the Public Shares as disclosed in the Original Filing, and Item 9A, Controls and Procedures. The above changes did not have any impact on the Company’s cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”). The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the classification error described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Item 1A, Risk Factors, is hereby amended to add additional risk factors, and Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety. This Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and Amendment No.1 and with our other filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing and Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 2 reflects events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing, and, except as described above, does not modify or update any other disclosures in the Original Filing.
