Xsolla SPAC 1 (NASDAQ: XSLL) announced that the underwriters of its initial public offering partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 419,385 units at $10.00 per unit. This transaction generated approximately $4.2 million in additional gross proceeds, increasing total units sold to 20,419,385 for aggregate gross proceeds of $204,193,850. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. D. Boral Capital LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the offering.
This development is significant as it reflects robust demand for Xsolla SPAC 1's offering, providing the company with additional capital to pursue a business combination. SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, raise funds through an IPO to acquire or merge with an existing company, typically within two years. The additional proceeds enhance Xsolla SPAC 1's financial flexibility as it seeks a suitable target.
Xsolla SPAC 1 is a newly incorporated blank check company, formed as a Cayman Islands exempted company, with the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The company has not yet selected any specific business combination target and has not engaged in substantive discussions with any target. The management team is led by Aleksandr Agapitov, Chairman of the Board; Dmitry Burkovskiy, Chief Executive Officer and Director; Rytis Joseph Jan, Chief Financial Officer and Director; and Carla Bedrosian, Esq., Chief Legal Officer and Director. The board also includes Xuan Li, Maxwell Gover, Wenfeng Yang, Perry Michael Fischer, and Eugenie Levin.
The partial exercise of the over-allotment option, also known as the greenshoe option, allows underwriters to sell additional shares to meet excess demand. This is a common practice in IPOs and indicates that the offering was well-received by investors. The additional capital increases the trust account, which is used to fund the future business combination or return funds to shareholders if no deal is completed.
