Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 12, 2021, Agrico Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 14,375,000 units (the “Units”), including 1,875,000 Units that were issued pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $143,750,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) in which the Sponsor and the representative purchased 7,250,000 private warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,250,000. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the IPO, except that the Private Warrants are subject to transfer restrictions and are not redeemable by the Company. The Private Warrants may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The holders of the Private Warrants were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Placement.

The Private Warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

As of July 12, 2021, a total of $146,625,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.

An audited balance sheet as of July 12, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon 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.
