BERENSON ACQUISITION CORP. I
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
NOTE 1 - CLOSING OF OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION AND ADDITIONAL PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet presents the Balance Sheet of Berenson Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2021, adjusted for the closing of a portion of the underwriters’ over-allotment option and related transactions which occurred on October 22, 2021 as described below.
The Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”) on September 30, 2021. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250.0 million. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. The Underwriters exercised the over-allotment option partially and on October 22, 2021 purchased an additional 2,510,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $25.1 million, and incurred additional offering costs of approximately $1.4 million, of which approximately $880,000 was for deferred underwriting fees.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on September 30, 2021, the Company completed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 7,000,000 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to Berenson SPAC Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), generating proceeds of $7.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-allotment on October 22, 2021, the Company consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of an additional 502,000 Private Placement Warrants by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $502,000.
