On August 23, 2024, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Gores Holdings IX, Inc. (the "Company") concluded that the Company's previously issued (i) consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2023 ("Annual Period"), (ii) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qfor the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 ("Historic Interim Periods"), and (iii) unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Qfor the period ended March 31, 2024 ("Current Interim Period", and together with the Annual Period and Historic Interim Periods, the "Affected Periods") should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such consolidated financial statements.

The Company delayed filing the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the "Q2 2024 Form 10-Q") as a result of the discovery of potential errors for the accounting of the Company's tax provision, which the Audit Committee has now determined impacted the annual and quarterly reports filed during the Affected Periods. Accordingly, the Company intends to restate the consolidated financial statements of the Affected Periods (the "Restatement") in its Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K/A"), as soon as reasonably practicable. The impact of the Restatement on the Historic Interim Periods will be summarized in the 2023 Form 10-K/A,and the Company does not intend to amend its previously issued Form 10-Qsfor such Historic Interim Periods. Additionally, the impact of the Restatement on the Current Interim Period will be summarized in the 2024 Q2 Form 10-Q,and the Company does not intend to amend its previously filed Form 10-Qfor the Current Interim Period.

The Company's management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with WithumSmith+Brown, PC, the Company's independent accounting registered public firm. At this time, the Company does not have an estimate of when all efforts will be completed and when the 2023 Form 10-K/Aand 2024 Q2 Form 10-Qwill be filed.
