Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 21, 2021, Enterprise 4.0 Technology Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 30,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,900,000 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A 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 $300,000,000. 

 

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 No. 333-259773 and 333-260344) for the IPO, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):

 

An Underwriting Agreement, dated October 18, 2021, by and among the Company, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

  A Warrant Agreement, dated October 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant 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 the Sponsor Unit Subscription Agreement and the unit subscription agreements entered into with the Underwriters, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 700,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor and the Underwriters at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,000,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. 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.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Sponsor Note, the Sponsor loaned $6,220,000 to the Company at no interest. A portion of the proceeds of the Sponsor Note was deposited into the trust account and will be repaid or converted into Units (the “Sponsor Loan Units”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per Sponsor Loan Unit, at the Sponsor’s discretion and at any time until the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Sponsor Loan Units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The Sponsor Note was issued in order to ensure that the amount deposited into the trust account at the closing of the IPO is $10.20 per Class A ordinary share (each a “Public Share”) offered as part of the units sold in the IPO. If the Company does not complete an initial business combination and the Sponsor Note has not been converted into Sponsor Loan Units prior to such time, the Company will not repay the Sponsor Loan and its proceeds will be distributed to the holders of the Public Shares. The Sponsor has waived any claims against the trust account in connection with the Sponsor Note. The Sponsor shall be entitled to certain registration rights relating to the Sponsor Loan Units. The issuance of the Sponsor Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On October 20, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company filed its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) with the Cayman Islands General Registry, which was effective on October 18, 2021. The terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are set forth in the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

A total of $306,000,000, comprised of $294,739,214.44 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $11,280,000 of the underwriter’s deferred discount), $7,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units and $4,260,785.56 of the proceeds from a loan by the Sponsor under the Sponsor Note, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account 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 and winding up and 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 of the Company’s public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to (A) modify the substance or timing of its obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if it does not complete its initial business combination within 18 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 the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.
