NorthStrive Acquisition Corp I (NASDAQ: NSAIU) announced the closing of its initial public offering of 10,000,000 units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $100 million. The Cayman Islands exempted company, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), listed its units on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol "NSAIU".
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, one redeemable warrant, and one right to receive one-fourth of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The warrants entitle holders to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing date or the consummation of the initial business combination. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares, warrants, and rights will trade under the symbols "NSAI," "NSAIW," and "NSAIR," respectively.
Offering Structure and Timeline
D. Boral Capital LLC acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering. The company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments. Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP served as legal counsel to the Company, while DLA Piper LLP (US) served as legal counsel to the underwriters.
A registration statement relating to the securities was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus, copies of which are available from D. Boral Capital LLC or via the SEC’s website.
