Naar aanleiding van SEC-richtlijnen betreffende de balansbehandeling van warrants kondigt Avanti Acquisition Corp. kondigt ontvangst aan van NYSE Continued Listing Standard Notice

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Avanti Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: AVAN) (het “Bedrijf”) heeft vandaag aangekondigd dat het een formele kennisgeving van niet-naleving heeft ontvangen van de New York Stock Exchange (de “NYSE”) met betrekking tot de het niet tijdig indienen van het kwartaalrapport op Formulier 10-Q voor het kwartaal eindigend op 31 maart 2021 (het “Formulier 10-Q”) zoals vereist volgens de criteria voor tijdige indiening die zijn vastgelegd in sectie 802.01E van de NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Op 12 april 2021 heeft de staf van de Securities en Exchange Commission (“SEC”) het “Staff Statement on Accounting en Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (het “Statement”) uitgegeven, dat voor alle SPAC-gerelateerde ondernemingen richtlijnen verduidelijkt met betrekking tot de boekhouding en verslaggeving van hun warrants. De onmiddellijke inwerkingtreding van de nieuwe leidraad in het Statement heeft ertoe geleid dat een aanzienlijk aantal SPAC’s de boekhoudkundige verwerking van hun warrants opnieuw heeft beoordeeld met hun professionele adviseurs, waaronder accountants en andere adviseurs die verantwoordelijk zijn voor het bijstaan van SPAC’s bij het opstellen van jaarrekeningen. Dit heeft er op zijn beurt toe geleid dat de Vennootschap vertraging heeft opgelopen bij het opstellen en afronden van haar jaarrekening per en voor het kwartaal eindigend op 31 maart 2021 en bij het indienen van haar Form 10-Q bij de SEC binnen de voorgeschreven termijn.

Stemming from SEC Guidance Concerning Balance Sheet Treatment of Warrants, Avanti Acquisition Corp. Announces Receipt of NYSE Continued Listing Standard Notice

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Avanti Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: AVAN) (the “Company”) today announced that it received a formal notice of non-compliance from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) relating to the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”) as required under the timely filing criteria established in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Statement”), which clarified guidance for all SPAC-related companies regarding the accounting and reporting for their warrants. The immediacy of the effective date of the new guidance set forth in the Statement has resulted in a significant number of SPACs re-evaluating the accounting treatment for their warrants with their professional advisors, including auditors and other advisors responsible for assisting SPACs in the preparation of financial statements. This, in turn, has resulted in the Company’s delay in preparing and finalizing its financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and filing its Form 10-Q with the SEC by the prescribed deadline.

Under NYSE rules, the Company generally has six months following receipt of the notification of non-compliance to regain compliance with the continued listing standard, subject to any extensions by NYSE.

The Company believes the change in SEC guidance does not affect its strategy to acquire a target business or financial performance. The Company is in compliance with all other NYSE continued listing standards. The Company expects to file the Form 10-Q in the very near term and does not foresee any risk of non-compliance with the NYSE six-month remediation timeframe.
