As previously disclosed by GigCapital5, Inc. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 29, 2021 (the “IPO Closing 8-K”), the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) on September 28, 2021, including the issuance of 3,000,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise in full of their over-allotment option, resulting in the issuance of an aggregate of 23,000,000 units (the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock (a “Public Share”), $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), and one redeemable warrant (a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per full share. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, and the IPO generated aggregate gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Public Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 795,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, with GigAcquisitions5, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor, pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement identified above (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”). The Private Placement generated aggregate gross proceeds of $7,950,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units.
A total of $232,300,000, consisting of the entirety of the proceeds received by the Company after deduction for commissions from the IPO, and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units, (which amount includes $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting commissions), were placed in a segregated trust account located in the United States maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the funds in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (i) the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of 100% of the outstanding public shares if the Company has not completed its initial business combination in the required time period, and (iii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares properly tendered in connection with the approval of any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation governing our pre-initial business combination activity and related stockholders’ rights.
An audited balance sheet as of September 29, 2021 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.
