On February 28, 2022, Clean Earth Acquisitions Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 (the “Units”) including 3,000,000 additional Units purchased pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of the Company, one right to receive one-tenth of one share of Class A Common Stock, for no additional consideration, upon the consummation of an initial business combination and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company, 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 $230,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 890,000 units (the “Private Units”) to Clean Earth Acquisitions Sponsor LLC at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $8,900,000.
