Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on October 19, 2021, PepperLime Health Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 15,000,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and a private placement with PepperOne LLC (the “Sponsor”) of 7,500,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) and one half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share (“Public Warrant”). The IPO generated aggregate gross proceeds of $150,000,000. In connection with the IPO, the Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at an offering price of $10.00 per Over-Allotment Unit.

 

On October 29, 2021, the Company issued an additional 2,000,000 units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their Over-Allotment Option in connection with the IPO. The Over-Allotment Units were priced at $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $20,000,000.

 

Concurrently, the Sponsor also purchased an additional 600,000 private placement warrants (the “Additional Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Additional Private Placement Warrant, generating $600,000 in such private placement. The Additional Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259861), as amended. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Additional Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Of the proceeds received from the consummation of the IPO, the private placement purchases by the Sponsor and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, $171,700,000 (the “Offering Proceeds”) in the aggregate was deposited in the Company’s trust account (including $5,950,000 of deferred underwriting commission) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except to pay income taxes, or upon the repurchase by the Company, prior to the consummation of a proposed business combination, of the public shareholders’ Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earlier of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or (b) the redemption of 100% of the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units and issued by the Company in the IPO, if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO.

 

An audited balance sheet as of October 19, 2021 reflecting receipt of the Offering Proceeds, but not the net proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Units or the Additional Private Placement Warrants, was previously included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on October 25, 2021. The Company’s unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of October 19, 2021 reflecting receipt of the net proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Units and the Additional Private Placement Warrants is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On October 29, 2021, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units.
