Item 4.02.

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

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”). Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement, dated as of December 16, 2020, between Corner Growth Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as warrant agent. As a result of the SEC Statement, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of (i) the 13,333,333 redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that were included in the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and (ii) the 7,600,000 warrants (together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) that were issued to the Company’s sponsor in a private placement that closed concurrently with the closings of the IPO, and determined to classify the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. While the Company has not generated any operating revenues to date and will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest, the change in fair value of the Warrants is a non-cash charge and will be reflected in the Company’s statement of operations.

On May 19, 2021, as discussed with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Auditors”), the Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it is appropriate to restate the Company’s financial statements as of December 21, 2020, December 31, 2020 and for the period from October 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 (the “Relevant Periods”). Considering such restatement, such financial statements should no longer be relied upon. As soon as practicable, the Company will file an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which will include the restated audited financial statements for the Relevant Periods. In addition, the audit reports of the Independent Auditors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 and the audited balance sheet as of December 21, 2020 as included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on December 29, 2020 should no longer be relied upon.

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

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 the Independent Auditors.
