Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 18, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254347) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of Skydeck Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. On May 21, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $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 as described in the Registration Statement and related prospectus supplement. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Further, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:
|

Item 3.02.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 4,666,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,000,000 (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement Warrants, which were purchased by the Sponsor, are substantially similar to the Public Warrants, except that if held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (ii) are not subject to being called for redemption (except in certain circumstances when the Public Warrants are called for redemption and a certain price per Class A Ordinary Share threshold is met) and (iii) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to, and are governed by the Warrant Agreement.
Item 5.03.Amendments to Memorandum and Articles of Association.
On May 18, 2021, the Company adopted its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
