(the “Company”) today announced the closing of its upsized initial public offering of 27,600,000 units, which includes the exercise in full by the underwriters of their overallotment option to purchase up to an additional 3,600,000 units. Total gross proceeds from the offering were $276 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The units began trading on Nasdaq on January 13, 2021 under the ticker symbol “HLAHU.” Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Company expects that its Class A common stock and warrants will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “HLAH” and “HLAHW,” respectively. The Company was 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. Although the Company’s efforts to identify a prospective business combination opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry, it intends to identify and consummate an initial business combination that it believes will generate attractive long-term returns for its shareholders. The Company intends to avoid companies in highly cyclical sectors such as upstream and midstream energy, commodities or real estate. The Company’s sponsor is an affiliate of Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C., the managing member of which is Hamilton Lane Incorporated (Nasdaq: HLNE), a leading private markets investment management firm.
