Latch, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 (the “First Quarter 2023 Report”) without unreasonable effort or expense within the prescribed time period. As first disclosed on August 10, 2022, external counsel, operating at the direction of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company, was conducting an investigation (the “Investigation”) of current and prior period matters that included certain aspects of the Company’s current and historical key performance indicators and revenue recognition practices, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related thereto.

As previously disclosed, based on the findings of the Investigation, the Audit Committee, after discussion with management, determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for 2019, 2020, 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 (all such interim and annual periods, the “Affected Periods”) should no longer be relied upon as a result of internal control deficiencies and errors relating to the manner in which the Company recognized revenue. Accordingly, the Audit Committee, in consultation with the Company’s management, determined that the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods will be restated. Any previously issued or filed reports, registration statements, proxy statements, prospectuses, press releases, earnings releases, investor presentations or other communications including, describing or incorporating by reference the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon.

The Investigation is now substantially complete. The Company’s management and Audit Committee have initiated a remediation process to address the errors and issues identified by the Investigation, including personnel actions, changes to internal controls and enhancements to accounting resources and training. The Company’s interim chief executive and chief financial officers are leading the Company’s efforts to apply the findings of the Investigation to the remediation and restatement processes.



The results of the restatement will be subject to audit by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

As the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 or September 30, 2022 (together, the “Delinquent Quarterly Reports”) or its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), and because the restatement process remains ongoing, the Company is unable to file the First Quarter 2023 Report at this time.  
 
The Company also previously disclosed that it presented a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) at a March 23, 2023 hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). As set forth in the Compliance Plan, the Company intends to regain compliance with the Listing Rule by filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on or before August 4, 2023, (i) the Annual Report, within which the Company expects to include restated financial statements for each of the Affected Periods, (ii) the Delinquent Quarterly Reports and (iii) the First Quarter 2023 Report.

On April 5, 2023, the Company received a decision from the Panel granting the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the Listing Rule on or before August 4, 2023, and certain other conditions.
There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to file the Annual Report, the Delinquent Quarterly Reports, and the First Quarter 2023 Report on or before August 4, 2023.

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.



As described above, the Audit Committee has determined that the financial statements of the Company for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon. As a result of the ongoing restatement process, the Company has not completed its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and its financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 are subject to restatement. Accordingly, the Company cannot at this time provide an estimate of the anticipated changes in its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
