INTRODUCTORY NOTE
On March 12, 2021, Ouster, Inc. (the Company) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the Original Report) to report the closing of the Business Combination and related matters under Items 1.01, 2.01, 3.02, 3.03, 5.01, 5.02, 5.06, 8.01 and 9.01 of Form 8-K. Due to the large number of events to be reported under the specified items of Form 8-K, this Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend the Original Report to include additional matters related to the closing of the Business Combination under Items 4.01, 5.03 and 5.05 of Form 8-K (as amended, this Report).
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Report.
Item 4.01. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm.
On March 11, 2021, the audit committee of Ousters board of directors dismissed Marcum LLP (Marcum), Ousters independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, as Ousters independent registered public accounting firm following completion of Marcums audit of the financial statements of Ouster as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, which consists only of the accounts of the prebusiness combination special purpose acquisition company, Ouster.
The report of Marcum on Ousters balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and the statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, which included an explanatory paragraph as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 and subsequent interim period through March 11, 2021, there were no disagreements between Ouster and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on Ousters financial statements for such period.
During the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 and subsequent interim period through March 11, 2021, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act).
Ouster has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that Marcum furnish Ouster with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by Ouster set forth above. A copy of Marcums letter, dated March 11, 2021, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
(b) Disclosures regarding the new independent auditor.
On March 11, 2021, the audit committee of Ousters board of directors approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) as Ousters independent registered public accounting firm to audit Ousters consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. PwC served as independent registered public accounting firm of Old Ouster prior to the Business Combination. During the period from June 4, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020, and the subsequent interim period through March 11, 2021, Ouster did not consult with PwC with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Ousters financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to Ouster that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by Ouster in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (each as defined above).
Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On March 10, 2021 and in connection with the Domestication, Ouster filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The material terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws that took effect upon the filing of the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware are discussed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the sections titled Domestication Proposal beginning on page 139 and Organizational Documents Proposals beginning on page 142, which are incorporated by reference herein.
Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws are included as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to this Report, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrants Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
In connection with the Business Combination, on March 11, 2021, Ousters board of directors approved and adopted a new Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all employees, officers and directors of Ouster. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics can be found at https://investors.ouster.com/ under the link Governance.
