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

 

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In the Statement, the SEC staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance on November 22, 2019, the outstanding warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase common stock of Amplitude Healthcare Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) were accounted for as equity within the Company’s balance sheet, and after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company has concluded that its warrants should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement.

 

On May 16, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company concluded, in consultation with the Company’s management, that (i) the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the period from August 13, 2019 (Inception) through December 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2020, which were included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021 (the “Original Filing”), (ii) its previously issued financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020 and (iii) certain items on its previously issued audited balance sheet dated as of November 22, 2019, the date on which the Company’s initial public offering closed, that were previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 27, 2019 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”) should no longer be relied upon due to a misapplication of the guidance around accounting for certain of the Company’s Warrants.

 

Similarly, press releases, earnings releases, and investor presentations or other communications describing the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon. In addition, the audit report of the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”) included in the Original Filing should no longer be relied upon. The Company will file an amendment to the Original Filing, which will include the restated financial statements for the Affected Periods.

 

The Company’s management has discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with Withum. Withum was provided with a copy of the disclosures made herein and was given the opportunity, no later than the day of the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, to review these disclosures.
