NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KnightSwan Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and trade under the ticker symbol “KNSW.U” beginning January 21, 2022. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company and one-half of one redeemable public warrant. Each whole public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares of Class A common stock and public warrants are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “KNSW” and “KNSW WS,” respectively.
While the Company may pursue an initial business combination with any company in any industry, the Company will focus on businesses at the leading edge of technological innovation in three key sectors: cloud, cybersecurity, and mission intelligence. Among the first all-female founded SPACs with an all-female board of directors, KnightSwan’s leadership team consists of Brandee Daly (Chief Executive Officer), founder and former Chief Executive Officer of C2S Consulting, and Teresa Carlson (Non-Executive Chair of the Board), President and Chief Growth Officer of Splunk.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager of the offering. The Company has granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
