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

 

On April 7, 2022, the audit committee of the board of directors of JATT Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) concluded that its unaudited interim financial statements as of September 30, 2021 included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be restated to account for the sale and transfer of limited partnership interests in our sponsor JATT Ventures, L.P., resulting in an indirect economic interest in Class B common stock and private placement warrants by the anchor investors (the “Anchor Investors”) at the time of its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) on July 16, 2021.

 

In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, “Materiality,” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company evaluated the changes and has determined that the related impact was material to the previously issued unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 19, 2021 (the “Affected Financial Statements”) and such Affected Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon. Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its Affected Financial Statements should be restated to report the additional offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities on its statement of operations as well the excess fair value over consideration of the limited partnership interests sold and transferred to the Anchor Investors in the statement of changes in stockholders’ deficit, including disclosure of this transaction in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Therefore, the September 30, 2021 quarterly financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-Qs, as filed with the SEC on November 19, 2021, should no longer be relied upon because the Anchor Investors incentives were not properly accounted for and disclosed. As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s management reassessed the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures for the periods affected by the restatement. As a result of that reassessment, the Company’s management determined that its disclosure controls and procedures for such periods were not effective solely as a result of the foregoing.

 

The Company will be filing its audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, which will include the correct accounting and disclosures related to the Anchor Investors incentives. Shortly thereafter the Company will also be filing an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, which will contain amended unaudited interim financial statements with the correct accounting and disclosures related to the Anchor Investors incentives.

 

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 Marcum, LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
