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

On December 22, 2021, the management of Arctos NorthStar Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that due to a reclassification of the Company’s temporary and permanent equity, the Company’s previously issued (i) audited balance sheet as of February 25, 2021, included in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 3, 2021 (the “Balance Sheet 8-K”), (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 June 8, 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 15, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon. Since the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Company has considered the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share while also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Upon further analysis, management has determined that the Class A ordinary shares issued during the IPO can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, management concluded that the redemption value should include all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value.

As such, the Company plans to restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q/A”) and in an amendment to the Balance Sheet 8-K, to be filed with the SEC.

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. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness will be described in more detail in the Q3 Form 10-Q/A.

The Company does not expect any 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 “Trust Account”).

The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
