Following the filing of the quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021, SVF Investment Corp. 2 (the “Company”), having performed further assessment, concluded that, effective with its financial statements for quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, it should restate its prior filed financial information as of March 11, 2021 (Post IPO Balance Sheet as defined below) and for the period ended March 31, 2021, to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity and to recognize the accretion from the initial book value to the redemption value, and it should restate its prior filed financial information for the period ended June 30, 2021, to correct the recognition of the accretion from the initial book value to redemption value. In accordance with guidance on redeemable equity instruments in ASC
redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
Therefore, on November 30, 2021, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited balance sheet as of March 11, 2021 (the “Post IPO Balance Sheet”) and the audit report of Marcum LLP included in the Current Report on Form
8-K
containing the Post IPO Balance Sheet, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2021 (the “Original Form
8-K”),
should be restated to classify all Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate the Post IPO Balance Sheet. Considering such restatement, such financial statements, as well as the relevant
portions of any communication which describes or are based on such financial statements, should no longer be relied upon.
The restatement does not have an impact on the Company’s cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”).
The Audit Committee and the Company’s management 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.
The financial statements and related financial information that was included in the Original Form
8-K
is superseded by the financial information in this Form
8-K/A,
and the financial statements and related financial information contained in the Original Form
8-K
should no longer be relied upon. On December 7, 2021, the Company filed a Current Report on Form
8-K
disclosing the Audit Committee’s conclusion that the IPO Balance Sheet should no longer be relied upon.
This First Amendment on Form
8-K/A
sets forth the Original Form
8-K
in its entirety, as amended to reflect the restatement.
The following item has been amended as a result of the restatement.
Exhibit No. 99.1, “Audited Balance Sheet as of March 11, 2021”
Refer to Note 9, Restatement of previously filed Balance Sheet of this Form
8-K/A
for additional information and for the summary of the accounting impacts of these adjustments to the Company’s balance sheet as of March 11, 2021.
