Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 28, 2023, Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 797,600 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) to Haymaker Sponsor IV LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,976,000.

A total of $232,300,000, or $10.10 per unit, comprised of $226,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and a portion of the $7,976,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units (which amount includes $8,650,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount), 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 July 28, 2023 reflecting the receipt of the proceeds from 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.
