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 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 “Statement”). In the 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. At issuance on March 26, 2021, the outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Disruptive Acquisition Corporation I (the “Company”) were accounted for as equity within the Company’s balance sheet and after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), the Company has concluded that its Warrants should be presented as liabilities as of the IPO date reported, at fair value, with subsequent fair value changes to be recorded in its financial statements at each reporting period.

On May 24, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 26, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021 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 Statement. The Company plans to reflect this reclassification of the Warrants in its upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, to be filed with the SEC. The Company further plans to amend its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 1, 2021 and file the restated audited balance sheet as of March 26, 2021.

 

The Company’s 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 does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account.

In addition, the audit report of Marcum included in Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on April 1, 2021 should no longer be relied upon.
