Item
4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement and Related Audit Report.
On
April 12, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released a public statement (the “Public Statement”)
informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) may require classification
as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. Northern Genesis Acquisition
Corp. III (the “Company”) has previously classified its private placement warrants and public warrants (collectively, the
“warrants”) as equity. For a full description of the Company’s warrants, please refer to the Company’s final prospectus
filed in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”) dated March 23, 2021 (“Final Prospectus”).
On May 21, 2021, Management
of the Company and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company’s previous audited balance
sheet related to its IPO dated March 26, 2021 and filed as Exhibit 99.1 with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K on April 1,
2021 (the “IPO Balance Sheet”) should no longer be relied upon due to changes required for alignment with the SEC’s
Public Statement. The SEC’s Public Statement discussed “certain features of warrants issued in SPAC transactions” that
“may be common across many entities.” The Public Statement indicated that when one or more of such features is included in
a warrant, the warrant “should be classified as a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported
in earnings.”
Following consideration of
the guidance in the Public Statement, while the terms and quantum of the warrants as described in the Final Prospectus have not changed,
the Company concluded the warrants do not meet the conditions to be classified in equity and instead, the warrants meet the definition
of a derivative under ASC 815, under which the Company should record the warrants as liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet.
The Company has discussed this approach with its independent registered public accounting firm,
Marcum LLP, and intends to include a restatement of the IPO Balance Sheet reflecting this reclassification of the warrants in its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Cautionary Statements
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S.

on current expectations on the date of this Form 8-K and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ significantly. The Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as the
result of new developments or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
