EXPLANATORY NOTE

Alpha Capital Acquisition Company (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) to amend and restate the Company’s audited balance sheet as of February 23, 2021 that had been filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2021 (the “Original 8-K”).

The audited balance sheet is being restated to reflect the classification of all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption issued as part of the Company’s initial public (“IPO”) as temporary equity in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480-10-S99. Previously, the Company did not consider redeemable stock classified as temporary equity as part of net tangible assets. Effective with these financial statements, the Company revised this interpretation to include temporary equity in net tangible assets. The Company had previously classified a portion of its Class A ordinary shares as permanent equity to maintain net tangible assets greater than $5,000,000 on the basis that the Company will consummate its initial business combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001. The Company’s management re-evaluated the conclusion and determined that the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption included certain provisions that require classification of the Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity. As a result, management corrected the error by reclassifying all Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as temporary equity. This resulted in a revision to the initial carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital (to the extent available), accumulated deficit and Class A ordinary shares.

In connection with the change in presentation for the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, the Company also revised its earnings per share calculation to allocate net income (loss) pro rata to Class A and Class B ordinary shares. This presentation contemplates a Business Combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both classes of ordinary shares share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.

The Company determined the changes were not qualitatively material to the Company’s previously issued financial statements and did not restate its financial statements. Although the qualitative factors that management assessed tended to support a conclusion that the misstatements were not material, these factors were not strong enough to overcome the significant quantitative errors in the financial statements. The qualitative and quantitative factors support a conclusion that the misstatements are material on a quantitative basis. As such, upon further consideration of the change, the Company determined the change in classification of the Class A ordinary shares and change to its presentation of earnings per share is material quantitatively and it should restate its previously issued financial statements.

Therefore, on December 22, 2021, the Company’s management and audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) concluded that the Company’s previously issued audited balance sheet as of February 23, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K should be restated to report all Class A ordinary shares as temporary equity and should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company will restate its audited balance sheet as of February 23, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K in this Amendment.

The restatement does not have any impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account established in connection with the IPO.
