On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") together issued a statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled "Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (‘SPACs')" (the "SEC Staff Statement"). As previously disclosed, given the scope of the process for determining the appropriate accounting treatment of its outstanding warrants in accordance with the SEC Staff Statement and Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in an Entities Own Equity, HPX Corp. (the "Company") was unable to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 (the "Form 10-Q") by the required due date without unreasonable effort and expense.

On May 25, 2021, the Company received a notice (the "Notice") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") indicating that, as a result of not having timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC, the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (the "Listing Rule"). The Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC.

The Notice indicated that the Company can regain compliance with the Exchange's listing standards at any time prior to November 24, 2021 by filing the Form 10-Q. If the Company fails to file the Form 10-Q by such date, the Exchange may grant, at its sole discretion, an extension for the Company to regain compliance, depending on the specific circumstances. The Notice also stated that the Exchange may nevertheless commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the circumstances warrant.

While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company plans to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicably possible, and no later than November 24, 2021, and regaining compliance with the Listing Rule.
