On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”) informing market participants that certain warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. Specifically, the SEC Statement focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain tender offers following a business combination. The terms described in the SEC Statement are common in SPACs and are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement, dated as of November 9, 2020, between TS Innovation Acquisitions Corp. (the “Company” or “TSIA”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. The Company had previously accounted for its private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “warrants”) as equity. After considering the SEC Statement, the Company determined that the warrants should be recorded as derivative liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value at issuance (on the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering) and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations in the period of the change. While the Company has not generated any operating revenues to date and is not expected to generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest, the change in fair value of the warrants is a non-cash charge and will be reflected in the Company’s statement of operations.

On April 29, 2021, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), based on the recommendation of and after consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 18, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and certain items on its audited balance sheet as of November 13, 2020 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”), as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2021 and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 19, 2020, respectively, should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements in those financial statements as a result of the reclassification of the Company’s warrants described above. Similarly, the related Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from September 18, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the stockholder communications, investor presentations or other communications describing relevant portions of the Company’s financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods should no longer be relied upon. As a result, the Company determined that it will restate its historical financial results for the Non-Reliance Periods, in each case to reflect the change in accounting treatment.

The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant to this Item 4.02(a) with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company’s independent accountant.

The Company will file an amendment to its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 to reflect the restatement and related disclosures described in Item 4.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT

This document relates to a proposed transaction between Latch, Inc. (“Latch”) and TSIA. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. TSIA has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a proxy statement of TSIA and a prospectus of TSIA. The proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all TSIA and Latch stockholders. TSIA also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of TSIA and Latch are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by TSIA through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

PARTICIPANTS IN SOLICITATION

TSIA and Latch and their respective directors and officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from TSIA’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. Information about TSIA’s directors and executive officers and their ownership of TSIA’s securities is set forth in TSIA’s filings with the SEC, including TSIA’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, which was filed with the SEC on November 5, 2020. To the extent that holdings of TSIA’s securities have changed since the amounts printed in TSIA’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, such changes have been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the proposed transaction may be obtained by reading the proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction when it becomes available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.
