Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

Disruptive Acquisition Corporation I (the “Company”)
previously presented a portion of its Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption (the “Class
A Ordinary Shares”) as permanent equity to ensure that the Company’s net tangible assets calculation remained
greater than $5,000,001 to comply with its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. After discussion and
evaluation, including with the Company’s outside accounting consultants, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company and our independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”),
the Company has concluded that the Class A Ordinary Shares should be classified as temporary equity because such shares can be
redeemed or become redeemable subject to the occurrence of events outside the Company’s sole control.
On November 15, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management, that (i) the Company’s audited
balance sheet as of March 26, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on May 27, 2021, (ii) the unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021 (the “Q1 Quarterly
Report”) and (iii) the unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021 (collectively, the “Affected
Periods”) should no longer be relied upon due to changes required to reclassify the Class A Ordinary Shares as temporary
equity. As such, the Company restated its financial statements for the Affected Periods in the Company’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on November 15, 2021, as described
therein. The Company also plans to amend Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2021 to file the revised
audited balance sheet as of March 26, 2021.
The Company’s management has concluded that in light of the
restatement caused by the classification error described above as well as the prior restatement of the Company’s financial statements made to reclassify the warrants as liabilities, as previously
reported in the Q1 Quarterly Report, a material weakness exists in the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting and that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
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 Exhibit 99.1 to
Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 27, 2021 should no longer be relied upon.
