On January 27, 2022, LatAmGrowth SPAC (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 13,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half 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 $130,000,000.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 7,900,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,900,000. The Private Placement Warrants give the holder the right to buy one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share.
A total of $132,600,000, comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of January 27, 2022 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.
