On March 8, 2021, Aurora Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 22,000,000 units (the “Units”). A copy of the press releases that were released at pricing and closing are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $220,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,300,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

Concurrently with the closing of the offering, the Company closed two separate private placements with its sponsor, Novator Capital Sponsor Ltd., and certain executive officers and directors of the Company, generating $41,400,000 in additional gross proceeds, including 3,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $35,000,000 and 4,266,667 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, for gross proceeds of $6,400,000.
