Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. Announces Partial Exercise of Underwriters’ Over-Allotment Option in Connection with its Initial Public Offering
January 14 2022 - 4:10PM
Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
announced today the closing of the issuance of an additional
227,686 units pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’
option to purchase additional units in connection with its initial
public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross
proceeds of $2,276,860 and bringing the total gross proceeds of the
initial public offering to $77,276,860. The Company’s units
commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) on
December 28, 2021, under the ticker symbol “WTMAU.” Each unit
consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one right
to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon the
consummation of an initial business combination. Once the
securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares
of common stock and rights are expected to be listed on Nasdaq
under the symbols “WTMA” and “WTMAR,” respectively.
The Company is a blank check company formed for
the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may
pursue an acquisition in any business industry or sector, it
intends to concentrate its efforts on targets in the technology
metals and energy transition materials industry. The Company is led
by Chief Executive Officer Daniel Mamadou and Chief Operating
Officer Chris Clower.
Chardan is acting as sole book-running manager
of the offering.
Of the proceeds received from the consummation
of the offering and a simultaneous private placement of units,
$77,276,860 million (or $10.00 per unit sold in the offering) was
placed in the Company’s trust account. An audited balance sheet of
the Company as of December 30, 2021 reflecting receipt of the
proceeds upon consummation of the offering and the private
placement (but not including the closing of the additional units
described herein) was included as an exhibit to a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) on January 6, 2022.
