On September 7, 2021, Insight Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 24,000,000 (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A 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 $240,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 7,500,000 warrants (the “Sponsor Private Placement Warrants”) to Insight Acquisition Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,500,000. In addition, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 1,200,000 warrants (the “UW Private Placement Warrants” and together with the Sponsor Private Placement Warrants, the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Cantor and Odeon at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $1,200,000.
A total of $241,200,000, comprised of $232,500,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $12,000,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $8,700,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P.
