Amendment Description On December 22, 2021, the Company concluded, with concurrence from the Audit Committee, that the consolidated financial statements previously issued as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the quarterly period ended December 31, 2020 should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements, as addressed in FASB ASC Topic 250. In addition, it was concluded that the financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 should also no longer be relied upon.The errors corrected in 10-K Amendment No. 2 and such amended Form 10-Q filings related to the treatment under GAAP of an equity plan ("the CPA Global Equity Plan") included in the CPA Global business combination which was consummated on October 1, 2020 (“the CPA Global Transaction”). In the affected financial statements, certain awards made by CPA Global under such equity plan and related trust were incorrectly included as part of the acquisition accounting for the CPA Global Transaction. The Company concluded that the expenses associated with such equity plan should have been recognized as share-based compensation charges ranging from the vesting period of October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2021, with only a portion of the liability recorded as part of acquisition accounting.
