SAN FRANCISCO - October 29, 2021 - (Newswire.com)
PepperLime Health Acquisition Corporation (the "Company"), a Cayman Islands exempted company that is a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, today announced the closing of the issuance of 2,000,000 units pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional units in connection with the Company's previously announced initial public offering. The additional units were sold at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $20,000,000 and bringing the total gross proceeds from the Company's initial public offering to $170,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
While the Company may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry, the Company intends to target companies at the intersection of technology and consumer health and wellness. The additional proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option will be used to fund the business combination.
The units began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol "PEPLU" on Oct. 15, 2021. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-half of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols "PEPL" and "PEPLW," respectively.
Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. acted as the sole underwriter for the offering.
