Separate Trading of Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants

 

As previously reported, on Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed on October 20, 2020 and October 29, 2020, Bridgetown Holdings Limited (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of an aggregate of 59,499,351 units (the “Units”), including 4,499,351 Units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (the “Warrants”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $594,993,510.

 

On December 3, 2020, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that the holders of the Units may elect to separately trade the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants comprising the Units commencing on December 7, 2020. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “BTWNU,” and the Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants that are separated will trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols “BTWN” and “BTWNW,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Holders of the Units will need to have their brokers contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, in order to separate the Units into Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants.
