Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On June 26, 2020, Brilliant Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 4,000,000 Units (the IPO Units”). Each unit (a “Unit”) consists of one ordinary share of the Company, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), one Right (“Right”) entitling the holder to 1/10 of one Ordinary Share of the Company, and one warrant (“Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one 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 $40,000,000. On June 30, the Company closed the underwriters full 600,000 Unit over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Units”). The Over Allotment Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,000,000. The sale of the IPO Units and the Over-Allotment Units generated aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $46,000,000. 

 

On June 26, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 240,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) to Nisun Investment Holding Limited (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,400,000. On June 30, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company completed a subsequent private sale of 21,000 Units (the “Private Over-Allotment Units”) to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $210,000.

 

A total of $46,000,000, comprised of the net proceeds from the sale of the IPO Units which closed on June 26, 2020 and the sale of the Private Over-Allotment Units which closed on June 30, 2020, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, on June 26, 2020 and June 30, 2020 respectively.

 

An audited balance sheet as of June 26, 2020 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the sale of the IPO Units, and the Private Placement Units, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
