FREEDOM ACQUISITION I CORP.
(Exact Name of Registrant as Specified in its Charter)

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

If an emerging growth company, indicate by check mark if the registrant has elected not to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. ☐

Freedom Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend and restate the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 2, 2021 that had been filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 28, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”). The audited balance sheet is being restated to reflect the classification of all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares as permanent equity. On November 19, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 2, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K should no longer be relied upon due to the aforementioned changes required to reclassify the Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity to align with ASC 480-10-S99. The Audit Committee of Board of Directors of the Company discussed with the Company’s independent accountants and are in agreement with the matters as disclosed in this Amendment. The correction of the aforementioned classification of the Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity is reflected in Exhibit 99.1 included with this Amendment. 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 controls over financial reporting did not provide for the proper classification of the Class A ordinary shares within the Company’s financial statements. As such, this represented a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls.

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other disclosures in the Original 8-K. In addition, the information contained in this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original 8-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein, except as specifically identified above. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 8-K have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the date of the Original 8-K, other than as described herein, and such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
