On April 24, 2020, Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. III (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 82,800,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 10,800,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $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 of $828,000,000.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 10,933,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, SCH Sponsor III LLC, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $16,400,000.
A total of $828,000,000 comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
