On October 14, 2020, Landcadia Holdings III, Inc. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 50,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and one-third 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, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $500,000,000.

 

On October 14, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 8,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Company’s sponsors, Jefferies Financial Group Inc. and TJF, LLC, at a purchase price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $12,000,000.

 

A total of $500,000,000, comprised of $490,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $17,500,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $10,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P.
