Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 11, 2020, Industrial Tech Acquisitions, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,500,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) and one warrant (“Public Warrant”), each warrant exercisable into one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.  The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,125,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”).

In connection therewith and the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement. On September 8, 2020, the Registration Statement (as defined below) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 3,075,000 warrants (“Placement Warrants”) to Industrial Tech Partners, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a price of $1.00 per Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $3,075,000. The Placement Warrants (and the underlying securities) are identical to the Warrants sold as part of the Units in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On September 8, 2020, in connection with the IPO, the Company filed its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware, effective the same day. The terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-242339) (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

A total of $75,750,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were placed 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 acting as trustee. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes and interest to pay any dissolution expenses, none of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the earlier of the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or the redemption of 100% of the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company in the IPO if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time).  

Copies of the press releases issued by the Company announcing the pricing of the IPO and the consummation of the IPO are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
