Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 9,078,788 warrants to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $13,618,182.
