Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, our available liquidity totaled $25.5 million, which was comprised of $20.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $5.0 million in available borrowings from our existing credit facilities. In addition, on March 25, 2022, Redwire increased available borrowings under its revolving credit facility to an aggregate of $25.0 million. The Company believes its existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs.

As part of the Company’s debt management strategy, management continuously evaluates opportunities to further strengthen the Company’s financial position including the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, refinance or otherwise restructure the existing credit facilities, or enter into new financing arrangements, and Redwire plans to raise additional capital through one or more of these funding activities.

Company Completes Review of Previously Filed Financial Statements

The previously disclosed results of the Audit Committee investigation into potential accounting issues at a business subunit, which has concluded without identifying any material misstatements or the need for any restatements of the Company’s previously filed financial statements, confirmed the existence of previously identified internal control deficiencies as well as identified certain additional internal control deficiencies. Consequently, the Company expects to report an additional material weakness with respect to its control environment in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Specifically, certain members of senior management failed to reinforce the need for compliance with certain of the Company’s accounting and finance policies and procedures, including reinforcement of appropriate communication. The material weakness will not have an impact on the reported consolidated financial statements. As previously disclosed, the Company self-reported this matter to the SEC on November 8, 2021 and intends to continue to cooperate with any requests from the SEC.
