Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $10.50 per share within the first 12 months following the closing of an initial business combination or $11.50 per share after the 12-month anniversary of the closing of the initial business combination, subject to adjustment, beginning 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $300,150,000.
Also as previously reported, on May 1, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 3,500,000 Warrants (the “Sponsor Private Placement Warrants”) to Berto Acquisition Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.00 per Sponsor Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,500,000. Additionally, on May 1, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,750,000 warrants as compensation to a designee of Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, as representative of the underwriters.
