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


           Report or Completed Interim Review.

On November 12, 2021, TLG Acquisition One Corp. (the "Company") filed its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2021 (the "Q3 Form 10-Q"), which included a Note 2, Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements, ("Note 2") that describes a revision to the Company's classification of its Class A common stock subject to redemption issued as part of the units sold in the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") on February 1, 2021. As described in Note 2, upon its IPO, the Company classified a portion of the Class A common stock as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets. The Company's management re-evaluated the conclusion and determined that the Class A common stock subject to redemption included certain provisions that require classification of the Class A common stock as temporary equity. As a result, management corrected the error by restating all Class A common stock subject to redemption as temporary equity. This resulted in an adjustment to the initial carrying value of the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A common stock.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption, the Company revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate income and losses shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. This presentation differs from the previously presented method of earnings per share, which was similar to the two-class method.

The Company determined the changes were not qualitatively material to the Company's previously issued financial statements and did not restate its financial statements. Instead, the Company revised its previously issued financial statements in Note 2 to its Q3 Form 10-Q. Although the qualitative factors that management assessed tended to support a conclusion that the misstatements were not material, these factors were not strong enough to overcome the significant quantitative errors in the financial statements. The qualitative and quantitative factors support a conclusion that the misstatements are material on a quantitative basis. Management concluded that the misstatement was of such magnitude that it is probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying upon the financial statements would have been influenced by the inclusion or correction of the foregoing items. As such, upon further consideration of the change, the Company determined the change in classification of the Class A common stock and change to its presentation of earnings per share is material quantitatively and it should restate its previously issued financial statements.

As a result of the foregoing, on February 1, 2022 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) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 25, 2021; (ii) unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021; (iii) Note 2 to the unaudited interim financial statements and Item 4 of Part 1 included in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, filed with the SEC on November 12, 2021; and (iv) the audited balance sheet of the Company as of February 1, 2021, filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company's Form 8-K (the "February 8-K") on February 5, 2021 (collectively, the "Affected Periods"), should be restated to report all outstanding Class A common stock subject to possible redemption as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate its financial statements for the Affected Periods in the Company's amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, to be filed with the SEC and in a restated audited balance sheet as of February 1, 2021 issued by the Company and included as an exhibit to an amended February 8-K to be filed with the SEC.

The above changes will not have any impact on the Company's cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the initial public offering.

After re-evaluation, the Company's management has concluded that in light of the errors described above, a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Affected Periods and that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant to this Item 4.02 with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
