Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On October 5, 2020, Recharge Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO, a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.
On October 5, 2020, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 7,750,000 Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to SKG Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,750,000. Each of the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share.
On October 5, 2020, a total of $202,000,000 representing the net proceeds from the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
On October 23, 2020, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 40,000 Units that were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $400,000. In connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 12,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $12,000. In addition, the 5,750,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”) held by our Sponsor (prior to the exercise of the over-allotment) included an aggregate of 750,000 Founder Shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full. Since the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in part, the Sponsor forfeited 740,000 Founder Shares on October 23, 2020. The Founder Shares forfeited by the Sponsor were cancelled by the Company.
Following the closing of the over-allotment option, an aggregate amount of $202,404,000 has been placed in the Company’s trust account established in connection with the IPO.
