Consummation of Initial Public Offering

On February 25, 2021, Velocity Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock 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 $230,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of 4,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Velocity Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,600,000.

A total of $230,000,000, comprised of $225,400,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $8,050,000 of the deferred underwriting discount) and $4,600,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
