On June 22, 2007, Aldabra 2 Acquisition Corp. announced that its underwriter had exercised all of its over-allotment option and purchased an additional 5,400,000 units at $10.00 per unit. A total of 41,400,000 units were sold to the public. The gross proceeds raised in the IPO were $414 million.
The balance placed into the trust account was $399,500,000, equal to $9.65 per share. This balance includes $12,420,000 of commissions deferred by the underwriter and $3,000,000 that was raised through the sale of warrants to certain of the insiders. In the event that the company is liquidated, neither the underwriter nor the insiders purchasing the warrants will receive any of the funds placed in the escrow account.
