Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On April 8, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254009) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of TPG Pace Solutions Corp. (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On April 13, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 28,500,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”). The Class A Ordinary Shares were sold at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $285,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 770,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share, to the Company’s sponsor, TPG Pace Solutions Sponsor, Series LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7,700,000. The Private Placement Shares are identical to the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (i) they may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, and (ii) they are subject to registration rights.

 

A total of $285,000,000, comprised of $279,300,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, including approximately $9,975,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, and $5,700,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Shares, were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP 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, if any, the proceeds from the IPO will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (b) 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 (i) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (c) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
