Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 2, 2021, Arbor Rapha Capital Bioholdings Corp. I (the “Company”) completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 17,250,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 2,250,000 Units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of its option to purchase additional Units in full. 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. Each whole warrant entitles 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 $172,500,000.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 4,133,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Company’s sponsor, Arbor Rapha Capital LLC, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $6,200,000.

The Company also executed a promissory note with the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Loan Note”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,312,500. The Sponsor Loan Note shall be repaid or converted into warrants (the “Sponsor Loan Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant, at the Sponsor’s direction. The Sponsor Loan Warrants will be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

A total of $176,812,500, comprised of net proceeds from the IPO, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and proceeds from the execution of the Sponsor Loan Note, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of November 2, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO, the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and the execution of the Sponsor Loan Note has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
