Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by The Beauty Health Company, formerly known as Vesper Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), on April 19, 2021 and in subsequent filings, on April 12, 2021, the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “Staff Statement”). The Staff Statement sets forth the conclusion of the SEC’s Office of the Chief Accountant that certain provisions included in the warrant agreements entered into by many SPACs and former SPACs, such as the Company, require such warrants to be accounted for as liabilities measured at fair value, rather than as equity securities, with changes in fair value during each financial reporting period reported in earnings. The Company has previously classified its private placement warrants and public warrants as equity.

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 4, 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 Staff Statement, it is appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 8, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020. The Company intends to file an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Amended Annual Report”), which will include the restated audited financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from July 8, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020. Given the scope of the process for evaluating the impact of the Staff Statement on the Company’s financial statements and the Company’s management’s focus on preparing the Amended Annual Report containing restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company was unable to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”) by the required due date of May 17, 2021. On May 18, 2021, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the SEC related to the Quarterly Report. The Company is working diligently to prepare and file the Amended Annual Report and the Quarterly Report as soon as reasonably practicable.

On May 19, 2021, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the “Quarterly Report”), the Company no longer complies with the continued listing requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The Notice advises that under Nasdaq rules, the Company now has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or July 18, 2021, to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing due date, or until November 15, 2021, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s securities, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with other applicable continued listing requirements.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 20, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
