Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 6, 2021, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”) with respect to its proposed business combination with Sarcos Corp. (“Sarcos”).  In connection with the proposed business combination, the Company disclosed in the Proxy Statement a recent change in auditors of Sarcos Corp. from Tanner, LLC (“Tanner”) to Ernst & Young LLP.   Tanner previously audited Sarcos’ consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Following its engagement, Ernst & Young LLP reaudited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and Sarcos reissued its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which were included in the Proxy Statement.

Tanner did not audit Sarcos’ consolidated financial statements for any period subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2019. The Independent Auditors’ Report on Sarcos’ consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were (i) no disagreements between Sarcos and Tanner on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tanner, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their audit reports, and (ii) no “reportable events” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Sarcos Corp. has provided Tanner with a copy of the disclosures in the Proxy Statement and Tanner has furnished a letter addressed to the SEC stating that it agrees with the statements made therein. A copy of the letter, dated August 5, 2021, furnished by Tanner in response to that request, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 hereto.
