KnightSwan Acquisition Corporation Announces Closing of $230 Million Initial Public Offering
KnightSwan Acquisition Corporation (the "Company" or "KnightSwan") announced the closing of its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which took place on January 25, 2022 and included the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option of 3,000,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company and one-half of one redeemable public warrant. Each whole public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share. The offering generated total gross proceeds of $230,000,000. The units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade under the ticker symbol "KNSW.U". Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares of Class A common stock and public warrants are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols "KNSW" and "KNSW WS," respectively.
While KnightSwan, a special purpose acquisition company, may pursue an initial business combination in any industry, KnightSwan will focus on businesses at the leading edge of technological innovation in three key sectors: cloud, cybersecurity, and mission intelligence. Among the first all-female founded SPACs with an all-female board of directors, KnightSwan's leadership team consists of Brandee Daly (Chief Executive Officer), founder and former Chief Executive Officer of C2S Consulting, and Teresa Carlson (Non-Executive Chair of the Board), President and Chief Growth Officer of Splunk.
