On January 25, 2022, HCM Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 28,750,000 units, including 3,750,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter of its over-allotment option (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“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.

On January 25, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 13,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to HCM Investor Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $13,000,000.

A total of $293,250,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, comprised of $285,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $15,125,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $8,250,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P.
