Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
On July 14, 2021, Good Works II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), which included the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock 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 $230,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 350,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to certain institutional investors at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,500,000. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO except that the private placement warrants included in the Private Placement Units: (i) will not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, as described in the IPO registration statement, in each case so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale.
A total of $230,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (including the full exercise of the over-allotment option) and the sale of the Private Placement Units were placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of July 14, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the issuance of the Private Placement Units has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K..
