EXPLANATORY NOTE
Disruptive Acquisition Corporation I (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend and restate the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 26, 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 April 1, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”). The audited balance sheet is being restated to reflect the classification of the Company’s warrants as a liability, in accordance with the SEC’s April 12, 2021 public statement (the “Statement”) informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies may need to be classified as liabilities as opposed to equity, and being measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The Company has previously classified its private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “warrants”) as equity. As previously disclosed in Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company on May 24, 2021 concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 26, 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 warrants as liabilities to align with the requirements set forth in the Statement. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company discussed with independent accountants and are in agreement with the matters as disclosed in this Amendment. The correction of the aforementioned error of the accounting for the warrants is reflected in Exhibit 99.1 included with this Amendment. The Company does not expect any of the above changes will 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 warrants 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.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
