On September 23, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”), one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”) and one right (“Right”). Each redeemable warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase three-fourths (3/4) of one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per full share, and each ten Rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one Ordinary Share at the closing of a business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

On September 21, 2021, the underwriters exercised the option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on September 23, 2021. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 750,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in gross proceeds of $7,500,000.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on September 23, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with Mr. Kok Wai Hooy, its Sponsor, of 255,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $2,550,000.

 

The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO. The Sponsor 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 the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Sponsor was also granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of 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. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On September 20, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company amended and restated its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. On the same date, in connection with the IPO, the Company filed its Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands. A copy of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is attached as Exhibits 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events

 

As of September 23, 2021, a total of $58,075,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of September 23, 2021 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.
