NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orion Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, today announced the pricing of its upsized initial public offering of 36,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit.
While Orion Acquisition Corp. may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry, the Company intends to target companies in the healthcare industry in the U.S. or other developed countries. The Company is led by Kenneth Burdick as Board Chairman, Beau Garverick as Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Board Director and Randy Simpson as Co-founder and Board Director. Orion is also partnering with Halle Capital Management, a growth equity investment firm.
The units will be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and trade under the ticker symbol “OHPAU” beginning March 2, 2021. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company and one-quarter of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A common stock and warrants are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “OHPA” and “OHPAW,” respectively. The offering is expected to close on March 4, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as book-running manager for the offering. The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 5,400,000 units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
