Item 8.01. Other Events
RCS Capital Corporation (the "Company") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to recast its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, which were filed as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 28, 2014, to  include certain prior period amounts for the year ended December 31, 2013 to include First Allied Holdings Inc. ("First Allied") as if acquired by the Company on the date that First Allied was acquired by RCAP Holdings, LLC ("RCAP Holdings"), the Company's controlling stockholder. As further explained below, when there is a reorganization of entities under common control, prior financial statements are retrospectively adjusted in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
On June 30, 2014, the Company acquired First Allied from RCAP Holdings. From September 25, 2013,  the date that RCAP Holdings acquired First Allied through an agreement and plan of merger, the Company and  First Allied  were considered to be entities under common control because RCAP Holdings controlled both entities through the ownership of shares of common stock. The Company began to include First Allied in its financial statements with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 with the SEC on August 14, 2014.
Except for the changes to the financial statements to the year ended December 31, 2013 to include First Allied and changes required to update Note
18
(Subsequent Events) and related changes to other Notes, this Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect any subsequent information, activities or events, other than the retrospective adjustments made in a manner similar to the pooling of interests basis of accounting described above. Without limitation to the foregoing, this Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring after the Company filed the 2013 Form 10-K for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to management. More current information may be included in the Company's other filings with the SEC from time to time. This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2013 Form 10-K, and the Company's other filings with the SEC.
The recast financial information contained in the Items noted above is presented in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company has presented such financial information in XBRL format, as attached as Exhibit 101 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The consent of the Corporation's independent public accounting firm, WeiserMazars LLP, to the inclusion of its audit report in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, is attached hereto as Exhibit 23.1.
