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.

Noble Rock Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.

The Company is reevaluating the classification of its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, which were issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment. In particular, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, requires ordinary shares with redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control to be classified outside of permanent equity. The Company previously classified a portion of the Class A ordinary shares in permanent equity. In connection with the reevaluation, the Company anticipates that its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption will be reclassified as temporary equity in their entirety.

The Company is concurrently evaluating the materiality of the anticipated reclassification, revision to EPS and other related accounting matters in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 99.

The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for determining the appropriate treatment of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company is unable to complete and file the Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company plans to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicably possible.

This report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, including relating to the filing of the 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s prospectus relating to the IPO filed with the SEC. Copies of such filings are available on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release, except as required by law.
