Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
As previously reported, on July 14, 2023, Bowen Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) consummated the initial public offering (“IPO”) of 6,000,000 of its units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $.0001 par value (“Ordinary Shares”), of the Company and one right (“Rights”), each Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 330,000 units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,300,000. The Private Placement Units were purchased by Createcharm Holdings Ltd, one of the Company’s sponsors, and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the IPO. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units included in the Units sold in the IPO. The purchasers of the Private Placement Units have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units or Ordinary Shares or Rights underlying the Private Placement Units (except to certain transferees) until after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.
On July 17, 2023, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 900,000 Units. As a result, on July 18, 2023, the Company sold an additional 900,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. In connection with this sale, Createcharm Holdings Ltd and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. also purchased an additional 31,500 Private Placement Units from the Company.
An unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of July 18, 2023 reflecting receipt of the proceeds received by the Company in connection with the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement, including the over-allotment option, has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
