Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On January 7, 2021, Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. III (“SCH”, and after the Business Combination described herein, the “Company”) consummated the previously announced domestication and mergers (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 5, 2020, among Asclepius Merger Sub Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company, Clover Health Investments, Corp., a corporation originally incorporated on July 17, 2014, in the state of Delaware (“Legacy Clover”), and the Company.

 

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued a public statement (the “Statement”) entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (“SPACs”). In the Statement, the SEC staff expressed the view that certain terms and conditions common to warrants issued by SPACs may require the warrants to be classified on the entity’s balance sheet as liabilities of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value reported in earnings each period, rather than as equity.

 

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company determined that, considering the guidance in the Statement, the Company’s private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the “warrants”) originally issued in connection with SCH’s initial public offering in April 2021 should be classified as a liability and marked to fair value each reporting period, rather than equity as originally classified. As of December 31, 2020, there were 27,599,938 public warrants outstanding and 10,933,333 private placement warrants outstanding. For a full description of the warrants, please refer to the Description of Securities included in Exhibit 4.3 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10-K”).

 

On May 16, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), in response to the Statement and after considering the recommendations of and in consultation with management, concluded that the warrants were incorrectly classified as equity in the previously issued financial statements of SCH as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “SCH 2020 Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K, and that the SCH 2020 Financial Statements should no longer be relied upon due to the change in classification of the warrants.

 

Accordingly, investors and others should not rely on the Company’s previously released financial statements and other financial information and disclosures relating to the SCH 2020 Financial Statements. Similarly, any previously furnished or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases, investor presentations or other communications describing the financial results of SCH for any period in the year ended December 31, 2020 (including for the year ended December 31, 2020) should no longer be relied upon. Without limiting the foregoing, investors and others should not rely on historical financial information of SCH contained in the Company’s registration statements on Form S-1 and S-4 (No. 333-252073 and 333-249558, respectively), each of which have been suspended since March 31, 2020, as the Company sought to post-effectively amend those registration statements through filings with the SEC on April 7, 2021.

 

The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02(a) with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP.

 

The historical audited financial statements of Legacy Clover included as Exhibit 99.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on April 1, 2021, which replace the SCH 2020 Financial Statements (as predecessor of the Company) in future Company filings, are not affected by the Statement.
