Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K, Semper Paratus Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 34,500,000 units (the “Units”) on November 8, 2021. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Share”), 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, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $345,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 1,450,000 units (the “Private Units”). 1,300,000 Private Units were sold to Semper Paratus Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $13,000,000. 150,000 Private Units were sold to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Underwriter” or “Cantor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,500,000.

In connection with the IPO, Cantor exercised its over-allotment in full and, as a result, our Sponsor will not be forfeiting any of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”), and will continue holding 11,983,333 Founder Shares.

A total of $351,900,000, comprised of the proceeds from the IPO after offering expenses and a portion of the proceeds of sale of the Private Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

As of November 8, 2021, the balance of the Trust Account was $351,900,000. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 interest to pay dissolution expenses), if any, the funds held in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-260113), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on October 7, 2021, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 15 months from the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of its Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if it has not consummated an initial business combination within 15 months from the IPO or during any Extension Period (as described in the Registration Statement), subject to applicable law.

An audited balance sheet as of November 8, 2021, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation 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.
