Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K, CHW Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 12,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 1,500,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, on September 1, 2021. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole 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 $125,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 4,238,636 Warrants (the “Private Warrants”) to CHW Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,238,636.

A total of $125,000,000 comprised of the proceeds from the IPO after offering expenses and a portion of the proceeds of sale of the Private Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Wilmington acting as trustee.

As of September 1, 2021, the balance of the Trust Account was $125,000,000. 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: (i) the completion of an initial business combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.

An audited balance sheet as of September 1, 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.
