Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 16, 2023, ESH Acquisition Corp. (Company”) consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), which included the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Share”), and one right (“Right”) entitling its holder to one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Share upon the consummation of the initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with each of the Sponsor, I-Bankers and Dawson James for an aggregate of 7,470,000 warrants (“Private Warrants”) to purchase 7,470,000 Class A Shares, each at a price of $1.00 per Private Warrant, generating total proceeds of $7,470,000. The Private Warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis. Additionally, such initial purchasers agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Warrants or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Such initial purchasers were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Warrants. The Private Warrants held by I-Bankers and Dawson James are further subject to restrictions under FINRA regulations.
As of June 16, 2023, a total of $116,725,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.
An audited balance sheet as of June 16, 2023 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the issuance of the Private Placement Warrants has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K..
