Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 12, 2021 (the “Original Form 8-K”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 23, 2021 (“Amendment No. 1” and, together with the Original Form 8-K, the “Amended Form 8-K”).
As previously reported, in the evening, Eastern Time, on April 12, 2021, the Acting Chief Accountant and Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “Staff Statement”). The Staff Statement sets forth the conclusion of the SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant that certain provisions included in the warrant agreements entered into by many special purpose acquisition companies require such warrants to be accounted for as liabilities measured at fair value, rather than as equity securities, with changes in fair value during each financial reporting period reported in earnings. AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (formerly known as New Providence Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) has previously classified its private placement warrants and public warrants as equity (for a full description of the Company’s private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “warrants”), refer to the final prospectus filed in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on September 12, 2019).
As previously reported, on April 29, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, in response to the Staff Statement, and after discussion with its independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP, its valuation firm and its legal advisors, concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from May 28, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements for the period from May 28, 2019 (inception) through September 30, 2019, the three months ended September 30, 2019, the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the three months ended and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, as well as the financial statements as of September 13, 2019 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”) should be restated to reflect the impact of the guidance in the Staff Statement and accordingly, should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, the Audit Committee concluded that any previously furnished or filed reports, related earnings releases, investor presentations or similar communications of the Company describing the Company’s financial results for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon, including previously filed pro forma financial statements.
On May 6, 2021, the Company filed an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021 (the “Amended 10-K”) reflecting this reclassification of the warrants for the Affected Periods. The adjustments to the financial statement items for the Affected Periods are set forth through expanded disclosure in the financial statements included in the Amended 10-K, including further describing the restatement and its impact on previously reported amounts.
The Company is filing this Amendment to the Amended Form 8-K to (i) incorporate by reference the restated audited financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from May 28, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 included in the Amended 10-K into Item 9.01(a) of this Current Report on Form 8-K, (ii) incorporate by reference into Item 9.01(a) of this Current Report and file the audited consolidated financial statements of AST & Science, LLC (“AST”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 as Exhibit 99.1 and (iii) incorporate by reference into Item 9.01(a) of this Current Report and file the amended unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 as Exhibit 99.2. Accordingly, the Amended Form 8-K is hereby amended solely to amend and restate Item 9.01. The Amended Form 8-K otherwise remains unchanged.
