Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 30, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260242) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of TLGY Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Company subsequently filed, on December 1, 2021, a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261431) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which was effective immediately upon filing. On December 3, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of (i) one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (a “Class A Ordinary Share”), (ii) one-half of one detachable redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Detachable Redeemable Warrant”), and (iii) a contingent right to receive at least one-fourth of one redeemable warrant following the initial business combination redemption time (as defined in the Registration Statement) (the “Distributable Redeemable Warrants” and together with the Detachable Redeemable Warrants, the “Warrants”). Immediately after the initial business combination redemption time and immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, the Company will effect a distribution of a number of warrants equal to 5,000,000 (or 5,750,000 if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) on a pro-rata basis only to holders of record of Class A Ordinary Shares issued in the IPO (whether such shares were acquired during or after the IPO) that remain outstanding after the Company redeemed any Class A Ordinary Shares that the holders thereof have elected to redeem in connection with the initial business combination. Public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights will also be deemed to have tendered their contingent right to receive Distributable Redeemable Warrants for no additional consideration and as a result will not be entitled to receive any distribution of the Distributable Redeemable Warrants in respect of such redeemed public shares. The number of the Distributable Redeemable Warrants to be distributed in respect of each public share is contingent upon the aggregate number of public shares that are redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial business combination but in no event will be less than one-fourth of a Distributable Redeemable Warrant per Class A ordinary share that is not redeemed. The right to receive the Distributable Redeemable Warrants will remain attached to the Class A Ordinary Shares and will not be separately transferable, assignable or salable. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $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 $200,000,000.

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, the forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement, on the dates indicated below:

 

   

An Underwriting Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, between the Company and Mizuho Securities USA LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein.

Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On November 30, 2021 the Company effected an issuance of class B ordinary shares of the Issuer (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 5,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof, resulting in a purchase price paid for the Class B Ordinary Shares of approximately $0.0043 per share.


Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of 10,659,500 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $10,659,500. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except that, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (i) they will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) they (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis, and (iv) they (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales. The issuance of the Private Placement Shares was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
