Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
Subsequent to the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("condensed consolidated financial statements") of Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Grove”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, prior period misstatements were identified. The weighted-average shares outstanding used in computing net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”), incorrectly did not give effect to the exchange ratio as prescribed by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 7, 2021, amended and restated on March 31, 2022, among Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II, Treehouse Merger Sub, Inc., Treehouse Merger Sub II, LLC, and Grove Collaborative, Inc. As a result of this error, the net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted, was materially overstated by $0.59 and $0.96 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The error had no impact on our cash balances, net loss or operating cash flows for the Affected Periods.
The impact of the restatement on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Condensed consolidated statement of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 |

On August 19, 2022, the Company's management and its audit committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), after discussing the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon and must be restated to correct the errors noted above.
The Company plans to restate its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 to correct for the prior period misstatement and include them in an amendment to the Original Quarterly Report to be filed with the SEC (the "Amendment") as soon as practicable. Any previously issued or filed reports, press releases, earnings releases and investor presentations or other communications describing Grove’s condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and other related financial information covering the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon.
As a result of this restatement, Grove's management has re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022 due to the failure of the Company’s internal controls to detect the prior period misstatements described above. The Company will amend the related disclosures included in Item 4 of the Amendment to reflect this material weakness and will also include information about the Company's remediation actions.
