NOTE 1—CLOSING OF OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION AND ADDITIONAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet presents the Balance Sheet of Blue Whale Acquisition Corp I. (the “Company”) as of August 6, 2021, adjusted for the closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and related transactions which occurred on August 16, 2021 as described below.
The Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share 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 $200,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 16, 2021, the Underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 2,940,811 Over-Allotment Units, generating an aggregate of gross proceeds of $29,480,110, incurred $588,162 in cash underwriting fees, and forfeited the remainder of the option, which over-allotment closed on August 18, 2021.
Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the overallotment option, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 294,081 Private Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Company’s Sponsor, Blue Whale Sponsor I LLC, at a purchase price of $2.00 per Private Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $588,162.
Upon closing of the IPO, the Private Placement, and the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, a total of $229,408,110 ($10.00 per Unit) 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.
