PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Aurora Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) has determined that it will not be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period for such filing without unreasonable effort or expense.

 

As disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 29, 2022, the Company determined that, in connection with the preparation of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, certain errors relating to expenses were not properly recorded in the period in which they occurred. The Company is in the process of restating its previously issued financial statements issued in connection with: (i) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, originally filed on March 25, 2022; and (ii) the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2021, March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, originally filed on November 15, 2021, May 16, 2022, August 15, 2022 and November 14, 2022, respectively (collectively, the “Affected Periods”). The Company is working diligently to complete the 2022 Form 10-K as soon as practicable and expects to file the 2022 Form 10-K within 15 calendar days of the prescribed due date.

 

This notification of late filing contains “forward-looking statements.” Statements that constitute projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results (including, without limitation the timing for and results of the Company’s pending restatements for the Affected Periods and the Company’s expectations that it will file the 2022 Form 10-K within the time period prescribed by Rule 12b-25) may differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
