Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 23, 2007, NRDC Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 41,400,000 Units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), and one Warrant (“IPO Warrant”), each to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at $7.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $414 million. A copy of the prospectus with respect to the IPO may be obtained from Banc of America Securities LLC, Capital Markets (Prospectus Fulfillment), 100 West 33rd Street, 3rd Floor, New York NY 10001.
Immediately prior to the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 8,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to NRDC Capital Management, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by the executive officers of the Company, generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants were sold at $1.00 per warrant and are substantially similar to the Warrants contained in the Units sold in the IPO.
Proceeds of $406,456,881 were placed in the Company’s trust account, including $391,966,881 of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement and $14,490,000 million of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions.
