Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 15, 2021, L Catterton Asia Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) consummated an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share. The Company granted the underwriters of the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, which was exercised in full.

 

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company registration statement (File No. 333-253334):

·

 

a Warrant Agreement, dated March 10, 2021, between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), which sets forth the expiration and exercise price of and procedure for exercising the Warrants; certain adjustment features of the terms of exercise; provisions relating to redemption and cashless exercise of the Warrants; certain registration rights of the holders of Warrants; provision for amendments to the Warrant Agreement; and indemnification of the warrant agent by the Company under the agreement;

The above descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the applicable agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference herein and filed as Exhibits herewith.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated a private placement with LCA Acquisition Sponsor, LP (the “Sponsor”) of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placement”), generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000.

 

The Private Placement Warrants, which were purchased by the Sponsor, are substantially similar to the Public Warrants, except that if held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption under certain redemption scenarios, (iii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (iv) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company under all redemption scenarios and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to, and are governed by the Warrant Agreement.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events

 

The net proceeds from the IPO together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $250,000,00 in the aggregate (the “Offering Proceeds”), were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriter of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except for the withdrawal from interest earned on the Offering Proceeds in the trust account to fund franchise and income taxes payable, or upon the redemption by public holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association, none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earliest to occur of: (1) our completion of an initial business combination; (2) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (3) the redemption of our public shares if we have not completed an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of this offering, subject to applicable law.

 

On March 10, 2021, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, announcing the pricing of the IPO.
