Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 15, 2021, G&P Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 17,500,000 units (the “Units”), which does not include the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional 2,625,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments. 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-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), 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. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $175,000,000.
On March 15, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 7,250,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to G&P Sponsor, LLC at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $7,250,000.
The net proceeds from the IPO, together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $176,750,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering Proceeds”), which amount includes $6,125,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of March 15, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
