Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 23, 2021, Arisz Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), one right to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination and one redeemable warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase three-fourths (3/4) of a share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
As also previously disclosed in the Current Report, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with Arisz Investment LLC (the “sponsor”) and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC of 193,889 units and 60,000 units, respectively (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $2,538,886.
Subsequently, on November 22, 2021, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units (the “Over-Allotment Option Units”) occurred on November 24, 2021. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 900,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $9,000,000. On November 24, 2021, simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Option Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 13,500 Private Units and 9,000 Private Units to the sponsor and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, respectively, generating gross proceeds of $225,000. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.
A total of $69,000,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Option Units) and the Private Placements on November 22, 2021 and November 24, 2021, were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. Included with this report as Exhibit 99.1 is an unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of November 24, 2021 reflecting the exercise of the over-allotment option.
