On October 26, 2020, Tekkorp Digital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (an “Ordinary Share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share 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 $250,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 7,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, to the Company’s sponsor, Tekkorp JEMB LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Irwin Apartment Trust, a trust for the benefit of the issue of Eric Matejevich, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Robin Chhabra, the Company’s President (collectively, with the Sponsor and Irwin Apartment Trust, the “PPW Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,000,000. The PPW Purchasers will purchase up to an additional 750,000 Private Placement Warrants to the extent the underwriters in the IPO exercise the over-allotment option.
A total of $250,000,000, comprised of proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. An audited balance sheet as of October 26, 2020 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
