INTRODUCTORY NOTE
On June 10, 2021, Latch, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report the closing of the Business Combination and related matters under Items 1.01, 2.01, 3.02, 3.03, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 8.01 and 9.01 of Form 8-K. Due to the large number of events to be reported under the specified items of Form 8-K, this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to amend the Original Report to include additional matters related to the closing of the Business Combination under Items 4.01, 5.05 and 5.06 of Form 8-K (as amended, this “Report”).
Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Original Report.
| Item 4.01. | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On June 7, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Deloitte served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy Latch prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm prior to the Business Combination, was informed that it would be replaced by Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Withum’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 18, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the period from September 18, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and the subsequent period through March 31, 2021, there were no: (i) disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or audited scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report or (ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the year period from September 18, 2020 (inception) to December 31, 2020 and the interim period through March 31, 2021, the Company did not consult Deloitte with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Deloitte that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.
The Company has provided Withum with a copy of the disclosures made by the Company in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested that Withum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response to this Item 304(a) and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from Withum is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.
| Item 5.05 | Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics. |
In connection with the Business Combination, on June 4, 2021, Latch’s board of directors approved and adopted a new Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all employees, officers and directors of Latch. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics can be found at https://www.latch.com/investors under the link “Governance.” The above description of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 14.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 5.06 | Change in Shell Company Status. |
As a result of the Business Combination, the Company ceased to be a shell company. Reference is made to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the sections entitled “Proposal No. 1—The Business Combination Proposal” beginning on page 90 thereof, which is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 9.01. | Financial Statement and Exhibits. |
| (a) | Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired. |
The audited consolidated financial statements of Legacy Latch as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related notes are included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus beginning on page F-24 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Legacy Latch as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
| (b) | Pro forma financial information. |
