PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why the 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. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
Latch, Inc. (the "Company") is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 (the "First Quarter 2024 Report") without unreasonable effort or expense within the prescribed time period. As first disclosed on August 10, 2022, external counsel, operating at the direction of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") of the Company, was conducting an investigation (the "Investigation") of current and prior period matters that included certain aspects of the Company's current and historical key performance indicators and revenue recognition practices, including the accounting treatment, financial reporting and internal controls related thereto.

As previously disclosed, based on the findings of the Investigation, the Audit Committee, after discussion with management, determined that the Company's consolidated financial statements for 2019, 2020, 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 (all such interim and annual periods, the "Affected Periods") should no longer be relied upon as a result of internal control deficiencies and errors relating to the manner in which the Company recognized revenue. Accordingly, the Audit Committee, in consultation with the Company's management, determined that the Company's consolidated financial statements for the Affected Periods will be restated. Any previously issued or filed reports, registration statements, proxy statements, prospectuses, press releases, earnings releases, investor presentations or other communications including, describing or incorporating by reference the Company's consolidated financial statements and other related financial information covering the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon.

The Investigation is substantially complete. The Company's management and Audit Committee have initiated a remediation process to address the errors and issues identified by the Investigation, including personnel actions, changes to internal controls and enhancements to accounting resources and training. The Company's interim chief executive and chief financial officers are leading the Company's efforts to apply the findings of the Investigation to the remediation and restatement processes.



The results of the restatement will be subject to audit by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.

As the Company has not yet filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 or its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 (together with the First Quarter 2024 Report, the "Delinquent Reports"), and because the restatement process remains ongoing, the Company is unable to file the First Quarter 2024 Report at this time. The Company continues to work diligently towards completing the restatement and filing the Delinquent Reports as soon as practicable.

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ☐ Yes ☒ No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

As a result of the ongoing restatement process, the Company has not completed its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 or March 31, 2024. Accordingly, the Company cannot at this time provide an estimate of changes in its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to its results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
