Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously disclosed by GigCapital4, Inc. (the Company) in its Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on February 11, 2021 (the IPO Closing 8-K), the Company consummated its initial public offering (the IPO) on that date, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 35,880,000 units (the Public Units). Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Companys common stock (a Public Share), $0.0001 par value (Common Stock), and one-third (1/3) of one redeemable warrant (a Public Warrant). Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per full share. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, and the IPO generated aggregate gross proceeds of $358,800,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Public Units, the Company consummated the private placement (Private Placement) of 1,099,600 units (the Private Placement Units), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, with GigAcquisitions4, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the Sponsor) and the underwriters (Underwriters), pursuant to the respective Unit Purchase Agreements identified above (collectively, the Unit Purchase Agreements). The Sponsor purchased 850,000 Private Placement Units; and the Underwriters purchased 249,600 Private Placement Units in the aggregate. The Private Placement generated aggregate gross proceeds of $10,996,000 consisting of $8,500,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and $2,496,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units to the Underwriters. The Private Placement Units are substantially similar to the Public Units, except for certain differences in the warrants included in the Private Placement Units (the Private Warrants) as disclosed in the IPO Closing 8-K and in the Companys registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-252315) (the Registration Statement) as declared effective by the SEC on February 8, 2021.
A total of $358,800,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Companys public stockholders at Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Companys initial business combination within twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the IPO; (ii) the Companys redemption of 100% of the outstanding Public Shares if the Company has not completed an initial business combination within twenty-four (24) months from the closing of the IPO; or (iii) the Companys redemption of the Public Shares in connection with the stockholder approval of any amendment to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation governing the Companys pre-initial business combination activity and related stockholders rights.
An audited balance sheet as of February 12, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
