NOTE 1 – CLOSING OF OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet presents the Balance Sheet of Gladstone Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of August 9, 2021, adjusted for the closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and related transactions which occurred on August 18, 2021.
The Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) on August 9, 2021. Each Unit consists of one share of Common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common stock at a price of $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 $100,000,000. The Company 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 August 18, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 492,480 Over-Allotment Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $4,924,800.
Simultaneously with the exercise of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Sponsor of the Company purchased an additional 98,496 Private Placement Warrants, generating aggregate gross proceeds of $98,496.
Upon closing of the IPO and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, a total of $107,023,296 ($10.20 per Unit) was placed in a U.S.-based trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
