PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Sonder Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period, without unreasonable effort or expense. As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 15, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference, on March 14, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined, based on management’s recommendation, that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in each of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2023, should no longer be relied upon due to accounting errors related to the valuation and impairment of operating lease right of use assets and related items. The Company intends to restate (the “Restatement”) the affected financial statements (the “Previously Issued Financial Statements”) to correct the errors and any other errors identified in the course of its review, as soon as practicable. The Company’s management is also assessing the effect of these matters on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
The Restatement of the Previously Issued Financial Statements remains in process and the Company believes the Restatement will result in financial statement impacts for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024, and such impacts have yet to be determined.
As a result of the above factors, the Company’s filing of the Q2 Form 10-Q will be delayed. The Company plans to file the Q2 Form 10-Q as soon as practicable following the completion of the Restatement.
As separately disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 16, 2024, on May 16, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the Company is delinquent in filing its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 and annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. Because of the failure to file the Q2 Form 10-Q, the Company expects to receive an additional notice of noncompliance with the Listing Rule from Nasdaq, regarding its Q2 Form 10-Q.
