Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.

In light of recent comment letters issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the management of Monument Circle Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") has re-evaluated the Company's application of ASC 480-10-S99-3A to its accounting classification of the redeemable Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Public Shares"), issued as part of the units sold in the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO") on January 19, 2021. Historically, a portion of the Public Shares was classified as permanent equity to maintain shareholders' equity greater than $5 million on the basis that the Company will not redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, as described in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Charter"). Pursuant to such re-evaluation, the Company's management has determined that the Public Shares include certain provisions that require classification of all of the Public Shares as temporary equity regardless of the net tangible assets redemption limitation contained in the Charter.

Therefore, on December 3, 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 (i) audited balance sheet as of January 19, 2021, as previously revised in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 26, 2021, (ii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2021 included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 26, 2021, (iii) unaudited condensed financial statements as of June 30, 2021 included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 6, 2021, and (iv) unaudited condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2021 included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 12, 2021 (collectively, the "Affected Periods"), should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company intends to restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in a Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021.

The restatement does not have an impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO (the "Trust Account").

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 will be described in more detail in the Form 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021.

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 WithumSmith+Brown, PC.
