 Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 15, 2021, Lakeshore Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $50,000,000.

 

Of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units (as defined below), $50,000,000 has been deposited into a U.S. based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its income tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of: (1) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination within 15 months; (2) the redemption of 100% of the Company’s outstanding public shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination in 15 months; and (3) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption of public shares as described in the IPO prospectus or redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 15 months or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity.

 

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements, forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-255174) related to the IPO, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 12, 2021 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”):

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) in which the Sponsor, Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund, MAZ Partners LP and Myda SPAC Select, LP, and the representatives and certain of their affiliates purchased 250,000 private units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,500,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Units are subject to transfer restrictions. The Private Placement Units may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The holders of the Private Placement Units were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Placement.

 

The Private Placement Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

 

As of June 15, 2021, a total of $50,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of June 15, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement will be filed within 4 business days of the consummation of the IPO.

A copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles and Memorandum of Association is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.
