Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 1, 2021, EJF Acquisition Corp. (the Company) consummated an initial public offering (the IPO) of 28,750,000 units (the Units), at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and a private placement of 5,166,667 private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the Private Placement). A total of $287,500,000.00 (the Offering Proceeds), comprised of the net proceeds of the IPO and certain proceeds from the Private Placement, was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Companys public stockholders and the underwriter of the IPO, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
Except with respect to interest earned on the Offering Proceeds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the Companys amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the Amended and Restated Charter) provides that the Offering Proceeds will not be released from the trust account until the earliest of (1) the completion of the Companys initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to certain limitations as described therein, (2) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Companys Amended and Restated Charter (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Companys obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Companys initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO (or during any shareholder approved extension period) or (B) with respect to other specified provisions relating to the shareholders rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (3) the redemption of all of the Companys public shares if the Company has not consummated its business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or such later date as approved by holders of a majority of the Companys outstanding ordinary shares, subject to applicable law.
