EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Crown PropTech Acquisition (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend and restate the Company’s audited balance sheet as of February 11, 2021 that had been filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 18, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”). The audited balance sheet is being restated to reflect the classification of all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares as permanent equity. On November 22, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s audited balance sheet as of February 11, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K should no longer be relied upon due to the aforementioned changes required to reclassify the Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity to align with ASC 480-10-S99. The Audit Committee of Board of Directors of the Company discussed with the Company’s independent accountants and are in agreement with the matters as disclosed in this Amendment. The correction of the aforementioned classification of the Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity is reflected in Exhibit 99.1 included with this Amendment. The above changes will not have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account. The Company’s controls over financial reporting did not provide for the proper classification of the Class A ordinary shares within the Company’s financial statements. As such, this represented a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other disclosures in the Original 8-K. In addition, the information contained in this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original 8-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein, except as specifically identified above. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original 8-K have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the date of the Original 8-K, other than as described herein, and such forward-looking statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings with the SEC.
