ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN.

If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

PART I -- REGISTRANT INFORMATION

PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed (Check box if appropriate)

PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Better World Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date.

On April 12, 2021, the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (the “Staff Statement”). The Staff Statement, among other things, highlighted the potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPAC”) such as the Company. The Staff Statement reflects the Staff’s view that in many cases, warrants issued by SPACs should be characterized as liabilities for accounting purposes, rather than as equity securities, unless certain conditions are met.

The Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”) as it is evaluating the applicability and impact of the Staff Statement on its financial statements to be included in the Form 10-K, including whether its public and private warrants may be required to be accounted for as liabilities, rather than equity. The Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to be included in the Form 10-Q cannot be finalized until the assessment with respect to the financial statements for the Form 10-K is completed, after which time the Company intends to file the Form 10-Q. The Company is working diligently to file its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
