(the Company), a newly organized blank check company incorporated in Delaware and led by Chairman and CEO Dongfeng Wang, in the closing of its previously announced IPO of 6,450,000 units at an offering price of US$10.00 per unit, which includes 450,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of US$64.5M. Each unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock, one-half of one redeemable warrant, and one right.
