On September 16, 2015, Pace Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 45,000,000 units (the “Units”), including the issuance of 5,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Share”), and one warrant of the Company (“Warrant”) to purchase one-third of one Ordinary Share for one-third of $11.50 per one-third share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $450,000,000.
On September 16, 2015, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 22,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $0.50 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, TPACE Sponsor Corp., generating gross proceeds to the Company of $11,000,000.
A total of $450,000,000, comprised of $441,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO, including approximately $15,750,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount, and $9,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were 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. An audited balance sheet as of September 16, 2015 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.
