HSAC2 gets redemption requests for 9.2M shares; RTW Funds buys 1M shares at $10.01 to back Orchestra BioMed deal
Orchestra BioMed Holdings, Inc.
- As of July 22, 2022, shareholders requested redemption of 9,237,883 HSAC2 ordinary shares ahead of July 26 vote on extension to Nov 6, 2022.
- RTW Funds (manager affiliate) purchased 1,000,000 HSAC2 shares at $10.01/share from an accredited investor in a private transaction.
- Purchase fulfills RTW's obligations under Forward Purchase Agreement with HSAC2 and Orchestra BioMed, and prevents redemption of those shares to retain trust funds.
- The action increases likelihood that the proposed business combination with Orchestra BioMed ultimately closes.
- The extension proposal would allow additional monthly extensions up to February 6, 2023.
