Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On October 25, 2021, Accretion Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 18,000,000 of its units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), of the Company, one right entitling the holder to receive one-tenth of one share of Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination, and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $180,000,000.

 

On October 25, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 7,300,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to Accretion Acquisition Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) generating total proceeds of $7,300,000. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.

 

Of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, $181,800,000, or $10.10 per Unit, including $6,300,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, has been deposited into a U.S. based trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of October 25, 2021 of the Company reflecting receipt of the net proceeds upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Following the consummation of the IPO, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,700,000 Units. In connection with the exercise of the full over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 810,000 Private Placement Warrants. The closing of the sale of the additional Units and Private Placement Warrants pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option occurred on October 28, 2021. Following that closing, the amount held in the trust account increased to $209,070,000.

 

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the consummation of the IPO and Private Placement is included as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
