| Item 4.02 | Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report. |
In connection with the preparation of its financial statements as of September 30, 2021, Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. IV (the “Company”) reevaluated the classification of its Class A ordinary shares and concluded that it is appropriate to restate the presentation of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to reflect all 46,000,000 Class A ordinary shares issued to the public in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) as temporary equity. The Company previously recorded the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value of such shares, while also taking into consideration the requirement in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that redemptions cannot result in net tangible assets falling below $5,000,001 (the “Minimum Net Tangible Assets Requirement”). The Company had therefore recorded a portion of the Public Shares as permanent equity. Upon further evaluation, the Company has determined that the Public Shares include certain redemption features that are not solely within the control of the Company. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified as temporary equity, regardless of the Minimum Net Tangible Assets Requirement.
Therefore, on November 22, 2021, the Company’s management and audit committee of the board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements as of October 14, 2020 and as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 should be restated to report all Public Shares as temporary equity. In connection with the change in presentation for the Public Shares subject to possible redemption, the Company also restated its income (loss) per common share calculation to allocate net income (loss) pro rata between shares subject to redemption and those that are not subject to redemption. Considering such restatement, such financial statements, as well as the relevant portions of any communication which describes or are based on such financial statements, should no longer be relied upon. There has been no change in the Company’s total assets, liabilities or operating results as a result of such restatement.
The Company has reflected such restatement in accounting treatment in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter-ended September 30, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the error
described above, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s
accounting for complex financial instruments and that, because of this material weakness, the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021. The Company’s remediation plan with respect to such material weakness is
described in more detail in the Quarterly Report.
The Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established
in connection with its initial public offering.
The Company’s management and Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
