PART III — NARRATIVE 

 

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

 

Tech and Energy Transition Corporation (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.

 

On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the statement, the SEC Staff, among other things, highlighted potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of special purpose acquisition companies such as the Company.

 

The Company previously accounted for its outstanding public warrants and private placement warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) issued in connection with its initial public offering as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities. The warrant agreement governing the Warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. In addition, the warrant agreement includes a provision that in the event of a tender or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a single class of common stock, all holders of the Warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their Warrants (the “tender offer provision”).

 

In connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s management further evaluated the Warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s common stock. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s common stock if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s private placement warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 as described above. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded the tender offer provision included in the warrant agreement fails the “classified in stockholders’ equity” criteria as contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-25. As a result the company reclassified public and private placement warrants as derivative warrant liability at the date of issuance recorded at their fair values, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the statement of operations at each reporting date.

 

As a result, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of its 12,833,333 public and 7,366,667 private placement warrants, and determined to classify the Warrants as derivative liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in the Company’s statement of operations for each reporting period.

 

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 Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, the Company was unable to complete and file the Form 10-K by the required due date of June 29, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company plans to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicably possible.

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. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company estimates a net income of $2,674,800, income comprised of a $3,709,666 income from changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, approximately $812,094 of financing costs and $223,404 of general and administrative expenses partially offset by approximately $632 of income on the investments held in the trust account. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company reported a net loss of $816 consisting of formation and operating expenses of $1,033 partially offset by the benefit of income tax of $217. The foregoing estimates have not been audited and are subject to adjustment.

 

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include the results of operations that the Company expects to report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management.
