Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On October 25, 2017, the registration statement (File No. 333-220510) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of CM Seven Star Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. On October 30, 2017, the IPO closed. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with Shareholder Value Fund, our sponsor (“Sponsor”), of 475,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $4,750,000.

 

The Private Units are identical to the Units (as defined below) sold in the IPO except that the warrants included in the Price Units will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Additionally, because the Private Units were issued in a private transaction, our Sponsor and its permitted transferees will be allowed to exercise the warrants included in the Private Units for cash even if a registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective and receive unregistered Ordinary Shares. Additionally, our Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Units.  

 

The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On October 30, 2017, the Company consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 18,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (the “Ordinary Shares”), one-half of a redeemable warrant, and one right to receive 1/10 of an Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $180,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,700,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

As of October 30, 2017, a total of $180,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of October 30, 2017 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been prepared by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
