Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 16, 2021, LAMF Global Ventures Corp. I (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 25,300,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the issuance of 3,300,000 Units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share 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 $253,000,000.
On November 10, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 1,106,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to LAMF SPAC Holdings I LLC at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $11,060,000 (the “Private Placement”). No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units, except that except that the Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities) are subject to certain transfer restrictions and the holders thereof are entitled to certain registration rights.
A total of $258,060,000, comprised of $249,000,000 of the proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $9,915,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $9,060,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of November 16, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
