On November 24, 2020, Kingswood Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 1,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and three-fourths of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A 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 $115,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,481,550 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Kingswood Global Sponsor LLC and one of the Company’s directors at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,481,550.

 

A total of $117,848,550 of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in a trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
