NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trebia Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: TREB) (the “Company”) announced today that it received a notice (the “Notice”) on May 25, 2021 from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the “Q1 2021 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under the NYSE’s rules, the Company has six months from the filing due date to file the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q. The Company can regain compliance with the NYSE listing standards at any time prior to that date by filing its Q1 2021 Form 10-Q.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC issued a statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Statement”). The SEC Statement, among other things, highlighted potential accounting implications of certain terms that are common in warrants issued in connection with the initial public offerings of SPACs such as the Company.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on May 18, 2021, the Company is reviewing the impacts of the SEC Staff Statement on the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021. As a result of the foregoing, as well as the time and dedication of resources needed to prepare its Q1 2021 Form 10-Q, the Company was unable to file the Form 10-Q by the required due date.
The Company is working diligently to complete and file the Form 10-Q as soon as reasonably practicable.
