Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related
Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
XPAC Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") is a blank check company, formed for the
purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with
one or more businesses (a "business combination"). As disclosed by the Company
in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on April 25, 2022, the Company entered into the Business
Combination Agreement (as defined in such Form 8-K) which, if the transactions
contemplated thereby are consummated, will be the Company's initial business
combination.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain costs related to the
business combination incurred in connection with, and in anticipation of, the
execution of the Business Combination Agreement, as well as the Company's
progression of the business combination (collectively, the "Business Combination
Costs") paid or payable in the future by the Company are reimbursable to the
Company by SUPERBAC PubCo Holdings Inc., or its affiliates, upon consummation of
the business combination. However, until such potential reimbursement in the
future if, and at such point in time when the business combination is
consummated, all Business Combination Costs are required to be reflected as
liabilities and expensed in the Company's income statement. In application of
such accounting principle, the Company re-evaluated its recognition of
historical Business Combination Costs and determined that certain Business
Combination Costs were not recognized as expenses for certain historical
periods, mainly due to their potentially reimbursable nature.
Therefore, on August 22, 2022, the Company's management and the audit committee
of the board of directors of the Company concluded that the Company's previously
issued (i) audited financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the
period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2021, included in
its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022; and (ii)
unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 2022, included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC
on May 13, 2022 (together, the "Affected Financial Statements"), should no
longer be relied upon and, in each case, should be restated to recognize the
Business Combination Costs as liabilities and, correspondingly, as income
statement expenses for the relevant periods based on when such costs became
probable and estimable irrespective of whether such Business Combination Costs
may be reimbursable in the future.
The Company plans to restate its Affected Financial Statements in (i) the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June
30, 2022 ("Q2 Form 10-Q") to be filed as of the date hereof and in an amendment
to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March
31, 2022 to be filed with the SEC in due course, and (ii) an amendment to its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the audited financial statements as of December
31, 2021 and for the period from March 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31,
2021 to be filed with the SEC in due course.
None of the above changes have any impact on the Company's cash position or
investments held in the trust account established in connection with the
Company's initial public offering.
The Company's management has concluded that in light of the non-recognition of
the Business Combination Costs as described above, a material weakness related
to liability accrual exists in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting and that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not
effective as a result of material weaknesses. The Company's remediation plan
with respect to material weaknesses will be described in more detail in the Q2
Form 10-Q.
The Company's management and the audit committee of the board of directors of
the Company have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The Company's actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates
and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking
statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate,"
"anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes,"
"continue," and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, the completion of the Company's financial statements for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2022, completion of the Company's quarterly review
procedures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's
expectations with respect to the timing of the filing of its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022, and the Company's
expectations with respect to the filing of an amended Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2021 and an amended Form 10-Q for the three months ended
March 31, 2022. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the
expected results, including those under "Risk Factors" sections of reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these factors are outside
the Company's control and are difficult to predict. The Company cautions readers
not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the Company does not
undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any
updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in
its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which
any such statement is based.
