This Current Report on Form 8-K is filed by TB SA Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), in connection with the matters described herein.
| Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report. |
On November 22, 2021, the Company’s management (the “Management”) and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), after discussion with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the Company’s (i) previously issued audited balance sheet related to its initial public offering (“IPO”) dated March 25, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on March 31, 2021 and revised in Note 2B to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 24, 2021 (the “June Form 10-Q”), and (ii) the unaudited interim financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021, and in the June Form 10-Q (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should no longer be relied upon due to a reclassification of the Company’s temporary and permanent equity. In addition, the audit report of Marcum included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 should no longer be relied upon.
Since the Company’s IPO, the Company has considered the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share while also taking into consideration that a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001, pursuant to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association. Upon further analysis, Management has determined that the Class A ordinary shares issued during the IPO and pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option can be redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of future events considered outside the Company’s control. Therefore, Management concluded that the redemption value should include all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, resulting in the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption being equal to their redemption value. In connection with the change in presentation for the ordinary shares subject to redemption, the Company also restated its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to ordinary shares subject to redemption and those that are not subject to redemption. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares participate pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.
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 established in connection with the IPO.
As such, the Company intends to restate the financial statements for the Affected Periods in its upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”).
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. The Company’s remediation with respect to such material weakness will be described in more detail in the amendment to the Q3 Form 10-Q.
