Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 8, 2021, FTAC Hera Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the sale of 80,000,000 units (the “Units”) in its initial public offering (the “IPO”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”), where each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2021 (File No. 333-252605). The Units were sold in the IPO at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit for gross proceeds of $800,000,000 (before underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses). The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 12,000,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). On March 5, 2021, the Underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option in part and waived the remainder of the Over-Allotment Option. On March 9, 2021, the Company sold 5,147,760 Over-Allotment Option Units, which were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $51,477,600. As a result of the Underwriters’ determination not to fully exercise the Over-Allotment Option, certain of the Company’s initial shareholders forfeited an aggregate of 1,713,060 Class B ordinary shares of the Company.
On March 8, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance and sale (“Private Placement”) of 1,920,000 Units (the “Placement Units”) in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $19,200,000. The Placement Units were purchased by Millennium (960,000 Units) and one of the Company’s sponsors, FTAC Hera Sponsor, LLC (960,000 Units).
A total of $851,477,600 of the net proceeds from the IPO, the Private Placement and the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units (which includes $30,831,268 of the Underwriters’ deferred discount) were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of March 8, 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.
