Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 24, 2020, Aequi Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-third 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. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

On November 24, 2020, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 4,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Aequi Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,000,000.

 

A total of $200,000,000, comprised of $196,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $7,000,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $4,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.

 

On November 30, 2020, the underwriters notified the Company of their intention to fully exercise their over-allotment option on December 2, 2020. The Company is expected to consummate the sale of an additional 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, or an aggregate amount of $30,000,000. In addition, the Company is expected to consummate the sale of an additional 400,000 Private Placement Warrants, at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $600,000.

 

An audited balance sheet as of November 24, 2020 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement, but not the proceeds from the sale of the additional Units and Private Placement Warrants in connection with the expected exercise of over-allotment on December 2, 2020, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
