Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K, Newcourt Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, on October 22, 2021. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (each, an “Ordinary Share”), and one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), with each whole 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 $250,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 1,140,000 units (the “Placement Units”) (920,000 Placement Units to Newcourt SPAC Sponsor LLC, 187,000 Placement Units to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and 33,000 Placement Units to Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $11,400,000.

 

A total of $255,000,000, comprised of the proceeds from the IPO after offering expenses and a portion of the proceeds of sale of the Private Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Wilmington acting as trustee.

 

As of October 22, 2021, the balance of the Trust Account was $255,000,000. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest that may be needed to pay dissolution expenses, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination; (ii) 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 to (A) 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 15 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity; and (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.

 

An audited balance sheet as of October 22, 2021, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
