Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 13, 2021, Inception Growth Acquisition Limited (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 9,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $90,000,000.

 

On December 9, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO fully exercised their over-allotment option, and the closing and sale of an additional 1,350,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on December 13, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $13,500,000.

 

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 Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-257426) related to the IPO, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 25, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with the Sponsor of 4,721,250 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $4,721,250.

 

The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the Sponsor or their permitted transferees. Additionally, our Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign, or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until 30 days after the Company completes its initial business combination.

 

The Private Warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

 

As of December 13, 2021, a total of $104,535,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the over-allotment) and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. An audited balance sheet as of December 13, 2021, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO (including the over-allotment) and the Private Placement will be filed within 4 business days of the consummation of the IPO.
