HumanCo Acquisition Corp. Provides Update on Periodic Reporting

AUSTIN, Texas, May 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- HumanCo Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: HMCO) (the "Company") announced today that it has determined to restate its 2020 financial statements (the "Non-Reliance Period") in light of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") recently issued "Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPACs")" (the "Staff Statement"). This Staff Statement issued on April 12, 2021 informed market participants that warrants issued by SPACs and former SPACs may need to be reclassified as liabilities with non-cash fair value adjustments recorded in earnings at each reporting period. The Company had previously classified its issued warrants as equity. The Company currently expects that the reclassification of the warrants will have no impact on its historical liquidity, cash flows or revenues.

The Company is working diligently with its auditors in order to finalize and to file a second amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "Form 10-K/A") reflecting the reclassification of the warrants for the Non-Reliance Period as soon as practicable. The adjustments to the financial statement items for the Non-Reliance Period will be set forth through disclosures in the financial statements included in the Form 10-K/A.

Given the time and focus dedicated to the restatement process and the completion and filing of the Company's Form 10-K/A, the Company requires additional time to complete its customary quarterly review and reporting process and the filing of its Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the "Form 10-Q") and was unable to file the Form 10-Q by the May 17, 2021 deadline. As a result, the Company received a notice on May 28, 2021 from the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the Nasdaq's continued listing requirements because it had not filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 with the SEC. The Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as is practicable after the filing of the Form 10-K/A.
