On September 16, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units (the “Public Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Common Stock (“Common Stock”) and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Public Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
As of September 16, 2021, a total of $50,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. An audited balance sheet as of September 16, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement will be included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company plans to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 4 business days of the consummation of the IPO.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on September 16, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with Pacifico Capital LLC, its sponsor, purchasing 231,250 units, and Chardan purchasing 50,000 units, in the aggregate a total of 281,250 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,812,500.
The terms of the Private Units are identical to the Public Units. Additionally, the initial purchasers in the Private Placement agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Such initial purchasers were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units.
The Private Units 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.
