On April 12, 2021, the Staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Statement”), which clarified guidance for all SPAC-related companies regarding the accounting and reporting for their warrants. Tuscan Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) is in the process of re-evaluating the accounting treatment of its private warrants as equity, and determining whether, based on the SEC Statement, any of such warrants should be, and should previously have been, classified as a liability measured at fair value, with non-cash fair value adjustments recorded in earnings at each reporting period.

 

Based on the foregoing, the Company is unable to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense.
