Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On October 14, 2021, Gesher I Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $.0001 par value (“Ordinary Shares”), of the Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 4,550,000 warrants (“Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,550,000. The Placement Warrants were purchased by the Company’s sponsor, Gesher I Sponsor LLC (4,050,000 Placement Warrants) and the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (500,000 Placement Warrants). The Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO. The purchasers of the Placement Warrants have agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Placement Warrants (or Ordinary Shares underlying the Placement Warrants) except to certain transferees until after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.

 

An audited balance sheet as of October 14, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the 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. A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the consummation of the IPO and Private Placement is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Following the consummation of the IPO, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units. In connection with the exercise, the Company’s sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. will also purchase an additional 450,000 Placement Warrants. The closing of the sale of the additional Units and Placement Warrants is expected to occur on or about October 20, 2021.
