Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 26, 2025, LightWave Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”), which consisted of 21,562,500 units (the “Units”), including the exercise in full by the underwriter of an option to purchase up to 2,812,500 Units at the offering price to cover over-allotments. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $215,625,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), of the Company, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”) of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, the Company completed the private placement of an aggregate of 606,250 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor and BTIG, LLC, the representative of the underwriters, at $10.00 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable Warrant, each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share of the Company. Of those 606,250 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 390,625 Private Placement Units and BTIG, LLC purchased 215,625 Private Placement Units. The Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
A total of $215,625,000, comprised of the net proceeds from the IPO (which amount includes $7,546,875 of the underwriter’s deferred discount) and the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
An audited balance sheet as of June 26, 2025 reflecting the receipt of the proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
