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

On April 12, 2021, the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Staff Statement”). In the Staff Statement, the 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 being treated as equity.

Since issuance on October 23, 2020, the outstanding warrants of DPCM Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) were accounted for as equity within the Company’s balance sheet. In light of the Staff Statement and after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company concluded that its warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.

On June 24, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from March 24, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-K”), should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around accounting for the Company’s outstanding warrants, and should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, the Company’s audited balance sheet as of October 23, 2020, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 29, 2020, should no longer be relied upon.

The Company intends to file an amendment to the Original Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) reflecting the reclassification of its warrants as a liability as soon as practicable. The adjustments to the financial statements will be set forth through expanded disclosure in the financial statements included in the Amendment, including further describing the restatement and its impact on previously reported amounts.

The Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, investments held in trust account, operating expenses or total cash flows from operations.
