Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 16, 2021, Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp. V (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 205,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,050,000.

Subsequently, on November 16, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units occurred (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) on November 18, 2021. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 900,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $9,000,000. On November 18, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,000 Private Units, generating gross proceeds of $180,000. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

A total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the initial public offering (including the Over-Allotment Option Units) and the Private Placements on November 16, 2021 and November 18, 2021, were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of November 16, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the private placement is included with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
