(Attached Extra Sheets if Needed)

Equity Distribution Acquisition Corp. (the 'Company') has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the 'Q1 2021 Form 10-Q') by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.

As previously disclosed, in light of the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ('SPACs') (the 'Staff Statement') issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, together with management, and as discussed with Marcum, LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, have determined that the Company's financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2021 (the 'Original Form 10-K'), should be restated.

The Company is working diligently to complete the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q as soon as possible; however, given the scope of the process for evaluating the impact of the Staff Statement on the Company's financial statements and the Company's management's focus on preparing an amendment to the Original Form 10-K containing restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company is unable to complete and file the Q1 2021 Form 10-Q by the required due date of May 17, 2021 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company does, however, expect to file such report within five calendar days thereof.
