Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by L Catterton Asia Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) on March 19, 2021 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), on March 15, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 25,000,000 units the (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary share”) and one-third of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-253334). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. The Company granted the underwriter in the IPO (the “Underwriter”) a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 20, 2021, the Underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part and purchased an additional 3,650,874 Units, generating additional gross proceeds of $36,508,740.
As previously reported on the Initial Form 8-K, on March 15, 2021, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the Units, the Company consummated a private placement with LCA Acquisition Sponsor, LP (the “Sponsor”) of 5,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (the “Private Placement”), generating total proceeds of $7,500,000. In connection with the Underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 486,784 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds of $730,176.
A total of $36,508,740 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $286,508,740.
An audited balance sheet as of March 15, 2021 reflecting receipt of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement, but not the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units, had been prepared by the Company and previously filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K on March 19, 2021. The Company’s unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 15, 2021, adjusted for the receipt of the net proceeds from the sale of the Additional Units and the Private Placement, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
