PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Sonder Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to file its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period, without unreasonable effort or expense. As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 15, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference, on March 14, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined, based on management’s recommendation, that the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2022, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in each of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2023, should no longer be relied upon due to accounting errors related to the valuation and impairment of operating lease right of use assets and related items. The Company intends to restate the affected financial statements to correct the errors and any other errors identified in the course of its review, as soon as practicable. The Company’s management is also assessing the effect of these matters on the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company requires additional time to complete the foregoing restatements and control assessments and to finalize its fiscal year 2023 financial statements for inclusion in the Form 10-K. The Company does not expect to file the Form 10-K within the 15-day extension period prescribed by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The description above is preliminary and subject to change in connection with the Company’s ongoing review and the completion of the anticipated restatements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the filing of the Form
10-K or the results of the Company’s ongoing review.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date of this Form 12b-25. The Company undertakes no obligation
to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
