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

 

Constellation Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) previously presented a portion of its shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption (the “Class A Shares”) as permanent equity because the Company’s memorandum and articles of association does not permit redemptions of Class A Shares that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. After discussion and evaluation, the Company concluded that all Class A Shares should be classified as temporary equity because such shares can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of events outside the Company’s sole control. This reclassification of equity was reflected in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2021 as a revision.

 

However, on December 6, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s unaudited interim financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on May 27, 2021, August 11, 2021 and November 12, 2021, respectively (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon because the revision should have instead been characterized as a restatement. As a result, the Company plans to restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in an amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021.

 

As noted above, 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.

 

Notwithstanding the misidentification, management believes that the financial statements included in the September 30, 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 12, 2021 present fairly in all material respects the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

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.

 

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 accounting firm.
