Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On October 2, 2020, Qell Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 37,950,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and a private placement with Qell Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) of 4,950,000 private placement warrants at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement”). Each Unit consists of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The net proceeds from the IPO, together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, of $371,910,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering Proceeds”), were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., 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.

 

An audited balance sheet as of October 2, 2020 reflecting receipt of the Offering Proceeds has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
