ITASCA, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FG Merger Corp. (the “Company”), a newly organized blank check company formed as a Delaware corporation, today announced the closing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 7,000,000 units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and three-quarters of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share. The units are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“NASDAQ”) and trade under the ticker symbol “FGMCU”. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the common stock and the warrants are expected to be traded on NASDAQ under the symbols “FGMC” and “FGMCW,” respectively.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, and the simultaneous private placements of units and warrants, to consummate the Company’s initial business combination.
ThinkEquity acted as sole book-running manager for the offering. FG Merger Corp. has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,050,000 additional units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any.
