Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial
Statements or Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Report.
On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the
Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission together issued guidance regarding
the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purchase acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement
on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the
“SEC Guidance”). Specifically, the SEC Guidance focused on certain settlement terms and provisions related to certain partial
tender offers following a business combination, which terms are similar to those contained in the warrant agreement, dated as of December
14, 2020, between KINS Technology Group Inc. (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York
corporation, as warrant agent. As a result of the SEC Guidance, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of (i) the 13,800,000
redeemable warrants (the “Public Warrants”) that were included in the units issued by the Company in its initial public offering
(the “IPO”) and (ii) the 10,280,000 redeemable warrants (together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”)
that were issued to the Company’s sponsor and certain funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, Inc. in a private placement that
closed concurrently with the closing of the IPO, and concluded that the Warrants should be classified as a liability measured at fair
value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. While the Company has not generated any operating revenues to date
and will not 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 June 17, 2021, the Company’s
management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that in
light of the SEC Guidance, it is appropriate to restate (i) certain items on the Company’s previously issued audited balance
sheet as of December 17, 2020, which was related to the IPO and (ii) the audited financial statements as of and for the period from
July 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 (collectively, the “Relevant Periods”). Considering such
restatement, such financial statements, as well as the relevant portions of any communication which describes or are based on such
financial statements, should no longer be relied upon. The Company will file an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of
December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, which will include the restated
financial statements for the Relevant Periods. In addition, the audit reports of WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Accountants”) included in the Company’s Form 8-K as of December 23, 2020 and
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021, should no longer be
relied upon.
Going forward, unless we amend the terms of our
warrant agreement, we will continue to classify our warrants as a liability, which will require us to incur the cost of measuring the
fair value of the warrant liability, and it may have an adverse affect on our results of operations.
The Company's management and the Audit Committee
have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to this Item 4.02 with the Independent Accountants.
