Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 22, 2021, NorthView Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 18,975,000 units (the “Units”), which included 2,475,000 Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, one right (the “Rights”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Warrants”). Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one share of common stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of 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 $189,750,000.

 

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-1 (File Nos. 333-257156 and 333-261763) for the IPO (the “Registration Statement”):

 

An Underwriting Agreement, dated December 20, 2021, by and between the Company and I-Bankers Securities, Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Representative”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

A Rights Agreement, dated December 20, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to certain subscription agreements, the form of which was filed as exhibit 10.6 to the Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 7,347,500 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to NorthView Sponsor I, LLC, I-Bankers Securities, Inc., and Dawson James Securities, Inc. at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,347,500. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants: (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, as described in the Registration Statement, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. 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.
