Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On August 15, 2022, Games & Esports Experience Acquisition Corp. (the "Company")
filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30,
2022 (the "Q2 Form 10-Q") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC").
In the course of preparing the Q2 Form 10-Q, the Company classified its Class A
ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as a current liability in the
Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 included in the Q2 Form 10-Q. In
connection with the preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2022, management re-evaluated the
classification of its Class A ordinary shares and determined that due to the
Class A ordinary shares' redemption provisions, they require classification as
temporary equity. After further consideration, management re-evaluated the
impact of the reclassification of the Class A ordinary shares on the Company's
previously issued financial statements in the Q2 Form 10-Q. Management of the
Company, in consultation with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors, concluded that such reclassification was material with respect to the
unaudited interim financial statements of the Company included in the Q2 Form
10-Q and therefore should be restated, to report all Class A ordinary shares of
the Company as temporary equity, and should no longer be relied upon.
As a result, the Company intends to restate its interim financial statements as
of and for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 in Amendment No. 1 to the
Company's Q2 Form 10-Q, to be filed with the SEC (the "Q2 Form 10-Q/A") as soon
as practicable. The Q2 Form 10-Q/A will correct the classification errors
described above.
The Company does not expect the restatement to have any impact on the Company's
cash position or the cash held in the trust account established in connection
with the IPO.
After re-evaluation, the Company's management has concluded that in light of the
classification error described above, a material weakness existed in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting during the affected period
and that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
The Company and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this
Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with BDO USA, LLP, the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
