Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On October 27, 2020, Eucrates Biomedical Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and one-third of one warrant of the Company (“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 $100,000,000. The Company has granted Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, the underwriters of the IPO, (the “Representatives”) a 45 day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

Substantially concurrent with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Unit Subscription Agreement, dated October 23, 2020, by and between the Company and Eucrates LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 350,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,500,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that the warrants that are part of the Private Placement Units are, so long as the Sponsor or its permitted transferees hold such warrants, subject to certain transfer restrictions and the holders thereof are entitled to certain registration rights, and: (1) will not be redeemable by the Company (except as described in the Company’s prospectus); and (2) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

A total of $100,000,000, comprised of the proceeds from the IPO, 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. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the funds held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of: (1) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination within the required time period; (2) the Company’s redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination in the required time period; and (3) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity.
