Part III – Narrative

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

ESM Acquisition Corporation’s (the “Company”) quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) cannot be filed by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort and expenses because the Company requires additional time to complete, and its independent registered public accounting firm requires additional time to review, certain items with respect to the financial statements to be included in the Form 10-Q.

In light of the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Staff Statement”) issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2021, the Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for evaluating the impact of the Staff Statement on the Company’s financial statements, the Company is unable to complete and file the Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort and expense.

In accordance with Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company anticipates that it will file its Form 10-Q as soon as practicable and no later than the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

If answer is no, identify report(s).     Yes  ☒    No  ☐

 

(3)

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?     Yes  ☐    No  ☒

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
