(the “Company”).

~~Item~~The 9warrant agreement governing the Company’s warrants includes a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent on the characteristics of the holder of the warrant.01 Upon review of the statement, the Company’s management further evaluated the warrants under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ~~Financial~~ASC Section 815-40-15 addresses ~~Statements~~equity versus liability treatment and ~~Exhibits~~classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary shares if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Audit Committee”), in consultation with management concluded that the Company’s warrants are not indexed to the Company’s ordinary shares in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the characteristics of the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares.

On May 5, 2021, the Audit Committee, based on the recommendation of and after consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2020, its unaudited interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and for the period from June 2, 2020 (dinception) ~~Exhibits~~through September 30, 2020 and its audited balance sheet as of August 28, 2020 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”), as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 19, 2021, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 13, 2020, and Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 4, 2020, should no longer be relied upon based on the reclassification of warrants as described above. Similarly, the related press releases, Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm dated March 19, 2021 on the financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the period from June 2, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, and the shareholder communications, investor presentations or other communications describing relevant portions of the Company’s financial statements for these periods that need to be restated should no longer be relied upon.

Exhibit No.		Description
99.1		FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp. PFIC Annual Statement – Class A

As a result, the Company today is announcing that it will restate its historical financial results for the Non-Reliance Periods, in each case to reflect the change in accounting treatment (the “Restatement”).

1The Company’s prior accounting for the warrants as components of equity instead of as derivative liabilities did not have any effect on the Company’s previously reported operating expenses, cash flows or cash.

~~SIGNATURE~~The Audit Committee and management have discussed the matters disclosed pursuant to this Item 4.02(a) with the Company’s independent accountant.

~~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.~~2
