Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 16, 2021, Kairous Acquisition Corp. Limited (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 7,500,000 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Share”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $75,000,000. On December 14, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO partially exercised their over-allotment option, and the closing and sale of an additional 300,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on December 16, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $3,000,000.
As of December 16, 2021, a total of $78,780,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the over-allotment) and the private placement consummated simultaneously with the closing of the IPO (the “Private Placement”) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders.
An audited balance sheet as of December 16, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO (including the over-allotment) and the Private Placement is included with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
