Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On January 8, Kairos Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 24,000,000 units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share, $0.001 par value per share (“Ordinary Share”) and one half of one warrant (“Public Warrant”), each whole warrant exercisable into one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, pursuant to the registration statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-251553 and 333-251908) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $240,000,000. Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated January 5, 2021, between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), the Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,600,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”).

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, filed with the SEC on January 11, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 7,300,000 placement warrants (the “Placement Warrants”), which were purchased by Kairos Alpha Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) and HS Chronos LLC, generating gross proceeds of $7,300,000.

 

On January 12, 2021, the underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option in full and purchased an additional 3,600,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), which were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $36,000,000. In connection with the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, the Company sold an additional 720,000 warrants (the “Over-Allotment Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor and HS Chronos LLC, generating gross proceeds of $720,000.

 

In addition, an aggregate of 6,900,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares of the Company (the “Founder Shares”) held by the Sponsor and HS Chronos LLC prior to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option included an aggregate of up to 900,000 Founder Shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor and HS Chronos LLC to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option was not exercised in full. As a result of the Over-Allotment Option being exercised in full, no Founder Shares are subject to forfeiture.

 

A total of $276,000,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Units) and the Placement Warrants (including the Over-Allotment Placement Warrants) were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of January 8, 2021, reflecting receipt of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the Placement Warrants, but not the proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Units and the Over-Allotment Placement Warrants, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

On January 12, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
