Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.
The management of Prospector Capital Corp. (the “Company”) has re-evaluated the Company’s application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares”), issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) on January 12, 2021. Historically, a portion of the Public Shares was classified as permanent equity to maintain shareholders’ equity greater than $5,000,000 on the basis 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, as described in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”). Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable shares classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company’s management has determined that the Public Shares include certain provisions that require classification of all of the Public Shares as temporary equity. In addition, in connection with the change in presentation for the Public Shares, the Company determined it should restate its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a business combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income and losses of the Company.
Therefore, on December 13, 2021, the Company’s management, together with the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements and other financial data as of January 12, 2021, filed with the SEC on January 19, 2021, (i) 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 July 27, 2021; and (ii) 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 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, to be filed with the SEC.
The restatement does not have an impact on the Company’s cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the Initial Public Offering (the “Trust Account”).
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
