Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 2, 2021, BlueRiver Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 28,750,000 units (the “Public Units” and together with the Private Placement Units, the “Units”), which includes the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 3,750,000 Public Units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrants”), 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. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating net proceeds of $287,500,000.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the Public Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 800,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $8,000,000 (the “Private Placement”).
The net proceeds from the IPO, together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $287,500,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering Proceeds”), were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of February 2, 2021 reflecting receipt of the Offering Proceeds has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
