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

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”). In the SEC Statement, the SEC staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since the October 27, 2020 (the “IPO date”), Bluescape Opportunities Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) has accounted for its outstanding warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase ordinary shares as equity within its financial statements. However, as a result of the SEC Statement, based on management’s evaluation, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”), in consultation with management, concluded that the Warrants should be presented as liabilities on its financial statements as of the IPO date reported at fair value with subsequent fair value re-measurement at each reporting period.

On May 24, 2021, the Audit Committee, based on the recommendation of, and after consultation with, management, concluded that, in light of the SEC Statement, it is appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 9, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 (the “Relevant Periods”). Considering such restatement, such audited financial statements should no longer be relied upon due to changes required to reclassify the Warrants as liabilities to align with the requirements set forth in the SEC Statement. The Company will file an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 9, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, which will include the restated audited financial statements for the Relevant Periods.

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 Accountants.
