Other Events.

 

On March 1, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252861) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Company subsequently filed on March 1, 2021, a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-253755) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was effective immediately upon filing. On March 4, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 42,000,000 units (the “Units”). The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase 6,300,000 additional Units at the initial public offering price. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and one-third of one warrant of the Company, with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one whole share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $420,000,000.

 

On March 1, 2021, the Company effected a stock dividend with respect to the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of 2,012,500 shares thereof, resulting in the Company’s initial stockholders holding an aggregate of 12,075,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, of which up to 1,575,000 may be forfeited to the extent the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 12,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Anzu SPAC GP I LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $12,400,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by the Company (except in certain redemption scenarios when the price per share of Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $10.00 (as adjusted)); (2) they (including the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Private Placement Warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are entitled to registration rights. The Sponsor will purchase up to an additional 1,260,000 Private Placement Warrants if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised.

 

A total of $420,000,000, comprised of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at Bank of America, N.A., maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (1) the completion of the Company's initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of the Company's public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.

 

On March 3, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company filed its previously approved amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, the forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:
