SEC EDGAR, 2026-10-16: 8-K (Item 2.02, 4.02, 8.01) — "non-reliance"
GoPro declares its historical financial statements unreliable due to debt accounting errors that triggered debt defaults, requiring restatements and lender waivers.
Company: GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) Filed: October 16, 2026, 8-K (Item 2.02, 4.02, 8.01) Phrase: "non-reliance" — "Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review." What the filing says: The company's Audit Committee concluded that its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and its quarterly statements for Q3 2025, Q1 2026, and Q2 2026 should no longer be relied upon due to accounting errors related to warrants issued to Mateo Financing, LLC and convertible debentures issued to YA II PN, Ltd. The errors do not affect revenue, gross margin, operating loss, cash, or operating cash flows, but they do affect net loss and balance sheet line items. Because these errors and restatements constitute a default or event of default under its credit facilities, convertible debentures, and senior secured notes, the company has requested and obtained waivers from default, including an October 16, 2026 waiver from its term loan lenders for non-compliance with its minimum asset coverage ratio, but notes it cannot assure it will obtain the remaining waivers on acceptable terms or at all. Two ways it goes: A. The company obtains all remaining waivers and successfully files its restated financial statements. B. Lenders withhold the remaining waivers, triggering debt acceleration. Next date: none named Watch: The filing of the restated 2025 Form 10-K/A and 2026 Forms 10-Q/A, or announcements regarding the remaining lender waivers.
