On January 11, 2021, Ivanhoe Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 27,600,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 3,600,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A 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 $276,000,000.

 

On January 11, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 5,013,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Ivanhoe Capital Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,520,000.

 

A total of $276,000,000, comprised of $270,480,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $9,660,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $5,520,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was 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.
