Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of Nocturne Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), on April 5, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $100,000,000. The Company had granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over allotments, if any. On April 14, 2021, the Underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 1,500,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000. In connection with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Underwriters agreed to waive the underwriting commission equal to 2% of gross proceeds.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, on April 5, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 450,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) to Nocturne Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,500,000. On April 14, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units and in connection with the underwriters’ waiver of the underwriting commission described above, the Company consummated a private sale of an additional 15,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $150,000.
A total of $116,150,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Units, the Over-Allotment Units and the Private Placement Units was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of April 5, 2021 reflecting receipt of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units on April 5, 2021, but not the proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Units nor the sale of the Private Placement Units on April 14, 2021, had been prepared by the Company and previously filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
