Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 23, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
Our Sponsor is OTR Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company. The registration statement for the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on November 17, 2020. On November 19, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100.0 million, and incurring offering costs (inclusive of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on November 19, 2020) of approximately $7.1 million, inclusive of $1.3 million of underwriting discount and $3.4 million in deferred underwriting commissions. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) to cover over-allotments, if any, at $10.00 per Unit. On November 19, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 447,350 Units, resulting in the purchase of an additional 447,350 Units, resulting into incremental gross proceeds of approximately $4.5 million. The underwriters waived their right to exercise the remaining over-allotment option on December 21, 2020.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,650,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to our Sponsor, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to us of $5.7 million.
In connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, our Sponsor purchased an additional 167,757 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating additional gross proceeds of $0.17 million.
