As
previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K, Aurora Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the
“Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 22,000,000 units (the
“Units”) on March 8, 2021. In connection with the IPO, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option
to purchase up to 3,300,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, and on March 10, 2021, the Company issued
2,300,287 Units to the underwriters pursuant to such option. The Units sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of
such option were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $23,002,870 to the Company and net
proceeds equal to $22,542,812.60 after the deduction of the 2% underwriting fee. Each Unit consists of one Class A
ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-quarter of one
redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase
one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.
As previously disclosed
in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company closed two separate
private placements with its sponsor, Novator Capital Sponsor Ltd., and certain executive officers and directors of the Company,
generating $41,400,000 in additional gross proceeds, including 3,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, for gross proceeds
of $35,000,000 and 4,266,667 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50
per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50 per warrant, for gross proceeds of $6,400,000. Concurrently with the issuance
of the 2,300,287 additional Units pursuant to the over-allotment, the Company closed an additional private placement with its sponsor
for 306,705 private placement warrants generating an additional $460,057.50 in gross proceeds.
An audited balance
sheet as of March 8, 2021, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO, the private placements, and
the Units issued pursuant to the over-allotment option has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.
