(the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 15,000,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, and the IPO generated gross proceeds of $150,000,000. The Company pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated July 30, 2020, by and between the Company and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with the Sponsor and certain funds and accounts managed by Magnetar Financial LLC, UBS O’Connor LLC, and Mint Tower Capital Management B.V. of 5,250,000 warrants (the “Private Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,250,000.

As of August 4, 2020, a total of $150,000,000 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 stockholders at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acting as trustee.
