Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 25, 2021, Catcha Investment Corp (the “Company”) received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that it is not in compliance with NYSE continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria established in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”).

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Statement’), which clarified guidance for all SPAC-related companies regarding the accounting and reporting for their warrants. The immediacy of the effective date of the new guidance set forth in the Statement has resulted in a significant number of SPACs re-evaluating the accounting treatment for their warrants with their professional advisors, including auditors and other advisors responsible for assisting SPACs in the preparation of financial statements. This, in turn, has resulted in the Company’s delay in preparing and finalizing its financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and filing its Form 10-Q with the SEC by the prescribed deadline.

Under the NYSE’s rules, the Company has six months following receipt of the notification of non-compliance to file the Form 10-Q with the SEC and can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards before that deadline. On June 1, 2021, the Company filed the Form 10-Q and, as a result, has remedied its non-compliance.

 

Item 8.01

Other Events.

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.

Catcha Investment Corp (the “Company”) has previously classified its public and private placement warrants (“Warrants”) issued in connection with its initial public offering and private placement as equity within the Company’s financial statements, and after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and consultation with management, the Company has concluded that its warrants should be presented as liabilities as of the initial public offering date reported at fair value with subsequent fair value remeasurement at each reporting period.

On May 27, 2021, the Audit Committee, based on the recommendation of and after consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s audited financial statements as of February 17, 2021, (the “Non-Reliance Date”), as reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 24, 2021, should no longer be relied upon based on the reclassification of warrants as described above. Similarly, Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm dated February 23, 2021 on the financial statements as of the Non-Reliance Date, and the shareholder communications, investor presentations or other communications describing relevant portions of the Company’s financial statements as of this date that need to be restated should no longer be relied upon.

This change in classification of the warrants as of the Non-Reliance Date, and the corresponding changes to the financial statement items as of the Non-Reliance Date will be reclassified in the Company’s upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, to be filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant to this Item 4.02(a) with its independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company’s prior accounting for the warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported operating expenses, cash flows or cash or cash equivalents.
