Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(a) As previously disclosed, on April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In May 2021, after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) concluded that its outstanding public warrants and private warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants”) should be presented as liabilities as of the date of the initial public offering, at fair value, with subsequent fair value changes to be recorded in its financial statements at each reporting period. The Company reflected this reclassification of the Warrants in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with SEC on May 24, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”).

After further discussion and evaluation, the Company has determined that the public warrants do not contain any of the settlement terms and provisions related to tender offers following a business combination and that the public warrants meet the criteria for being considered indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the public warrants should be classified as equity instruments as opposed to liabilities.

As a result, on July 8, 2021, the audit committee of the board of directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the financial statements and other financial data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon and should be restated to reclassify the public warrants as equity instruments to align with the requirements set forth in the Statement. Consequently, concurrently with the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company will file an amendment to the Form 10-Q reflecting the reclassification of the public warrants as equity instruments.

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.
