Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit

Report or Completed Interim Report.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of Crucible Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021, the Company reevaluated the classification of its Class A common stock. The Company previously determined the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of $10.00 per share of Class A common stock while also taking into consideration the requirement in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation that a redemption cannot result in the Company's net tangible assets being less than $5,000,001. Upon further evaluation, the Company determined that the Class A common stock issued during the initial public offering include certain redemption features not solely within the Company's control that, under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, require such shares to be classified as temporary equity, regardless of the minimum net tangible assets required to complete the Company's initial business combination.

Therefore, on January 26, 2022, the Company's management and audit committee of the board of directors (the "Audit Committee") concluded that the Company's previously issued audited balance sheet dated as of January 7, 2021, which was related to the Company's initial public offering, and unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 (collectively, the "Relevant Periods") should be restated to report all shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity. 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 Company plans to file an Amendment to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 13, 2021 and an Amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021 (the "Third Quarter Report") to include the restated financial statements for the Relevant Periods.

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's remediation plan with respect to such material weakness is described in more detail in the Third Quarter Report.

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 Withum Smith+Brown, PC, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
