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.

 

Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation III, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense, because the Company needs additional time to complete its financial statements and related disclosures for the reasons described below.

 

On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff 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, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in an Entities Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Since issuance on March 26, 2021, the Company’s warrants, which includes (i) 11,666,667 redeemable warrants included as a part of the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) and (ii) 6,666,667 redeemable warrants that were issued to Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Sponsor III LLC and the Company’s independent directors in a private placement that closed concurrently with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering (the “Private Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”), were accounted for as equity within the Company’s financial statements. 

 

After consideration of the guidance in the SEC Staff Statement, the Company concluded that the Warrants should be accounted for as a liability and measured at fair value with changes in fair value for each period reported in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company is in the process of completing its final analysis of this change; however, the impact is not expected to be material to the Company’s previously filed financial statements. The Company expects to reflect this revision as a correction of an immaterial error in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the period from January 29, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2021.

 

The Company is working diligently to complete the Quarterly Report as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for determining the appropriate treatment of the Warrants in accordance with the SEC Staff Statement and ASC 815-40, the

 

 

Company is unable to complete and file the Quarterly Report by the required due date of May 17, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. As such, the Company intends to file the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable after the completion of the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.
