On September 19, 2024, the Company consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”) and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
As of September 19, 2024, a total of $60,300,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. The underwriters had not exercised the over-allotment option. An audited balance sheet as of September 19, 2024 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement will be filed within 4 business days of the consummation of the IPO.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with its sponsor of 250,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,500,000.
The Private Units are identical to the Units (as defined above) sold in the IPO except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions. Additionally, the holders of the Private Units have agreed to certain restrictions on the Private Units, as described in the Registration Statement. Additionally, such holders agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until 180 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The holders were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Units.
The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transaction did not involve a public offering.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
