PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

 

Growth Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date as a result of the reasons described below.

 

The Company is considering the views expressed by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) in a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” dated April 12, 2021 (the “SEC Staff Statement”) in which the SEC staff highlighted the potential accounting implications of certain terms that have been common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies, such as the Company. As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management is reevaluating the accounting treatment of (i) the 8,625,000 redeemable warrants that were included in the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) and (ii) the 5,175,000 redeemable warrants that were issued in a private placement (the “Private Warrants”, collectively with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in an Entities Own Equity. ASC 815-40 states entities must consider whether to classify contracts that may be settled in its own stock, such as warrants, as equity of the entity or as an asset or liability. The Company previously accounted for the Warrants as components of equity. After consideration of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company believes that the Warrants should be accounted for as liabilities and measured at fair value with changes in fair value each period to be reported in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company is in the process of completing its final analysis of this change.

 

The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-K as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for determining the appropriate treatment of the Warrants in accordance with the SEC Staff Statement and ASC 815-40, the Company is unable to complete and file the Form 10-K by the required due date without unreasonable effort and expense.
