Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by The Music Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) on February 5, 2021 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), on February 2, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (“Units”) which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-252152). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000.
On March 23, 2021, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, announcing that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants included in the Units commencing on March 26, 2021. Those Units that are not separated will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TMAC.U” and the shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants that are separated will trade on the NYSE under the symbols “TMAC” and “TMAC WS,” respectively. Holders of Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the holders’ Units into shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.
