Item 8.01

Information Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statement and Related Audit Report

On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for
Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies” (“SPACs”) (the “Statement”). In
the Statement, the SEC staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to
be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity.
On March 23, 2021, AF Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 22,400,000 units, including 2,400,000
units pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in full (the “Units”). Each Unit consists
of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-third
of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Public Warrants”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof
to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share. On March 23, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the
Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 4,486,667 warrants (the “Private Placement
Warrants”) to AF Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant.
On March 23, 2021, both the outstanding Warrants and the Private Placement
Warrants (collectively, the “Issued Warrants”) were accounted for as equity within the Company’s balance sheet,
and after discussion and evaluation, including with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP, (“Marcum”),
the Company’s management has concluded that its Issued Warrants should be presented as liabilities as of the March 23, 2021 IPO
date, at fair value, with subsequent fair value changes to be recorded in its financial statements at each reporting period.
On May 24, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that the Company’s audited balance sheet as of March 23,
2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021 (the “Form
8-K”) should no longer be relied upon due to changes required to reclassify the Issued Warrants as liabilities to align with
the requirements set forth in the Statement. The Company plans to reflect this reclassification of the Issued Warrants in its upcoming
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, to be filed with SEC.
The Company does not expect any of the above changes will have any
impact on its cash position and cash held in the trust account.
In addition, the audit report of Marcum included in the Company’s
Form 8-K filed on March 29, 2021 should no longer be relied upon.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
