Miami, FL –
Sensing Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a newly incorporated blank check
company, today announced the closing of its initial public offering of 10,120,000
units, including 1,320,000 units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ full
exercise of the over-allotment option. The offering was priced at $10.00 per
unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $101.2 million.
The Company’s units commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market
(“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “VSACU” on November 1, 2021.
The Company is sponsored by the founders of Vision Sensing LLC and is
led by a management team consisting of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George
Peter Sobek, Director, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary Hang Kon Louis Ma, and board members Joseph Mitchell Magen, William Welser IV and Garry
Richard Stein.
The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting
a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue an initial
business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus on
companies with operations in the vision sensing technologies (“VST”),
including hardware chip solutions (such as chips, modules and systems),
VST-related application software, artificial intelligence (“AI”) and other
peripheral technologies that assist to integrate and/or supplement VST
applications. There is no restriction
in the geographic location of targets the Company can pursue, however, it
expressly disclaims any intent to and will not consummate a business
combination with a target business located in China or Hong Kong.
Each unit sold in the offering consists of one share of the Company’s Class
A common stock and three-quarters of one warrant, each whole warrant entitling
the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of
$11.50 per share. Only whole warrants are exercisable and will trade. Once the
securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares of Class A common
stock and warrants are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “VSAC”
and “VSACW,” respectively.
EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC served as sole book-running
manager on the offering.
Of the proceeds received from the consummation of the offering and a
simultaneous private placement of units, $102,718,000 was placed in the
Company’s trust account. An audited balance sheet of the Company as of November
