Singapore, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Origin Investment Corp I (the "Company"), a newly organized special purpose acquisition company, today announced the closing of its initial public offering ("IPO") of 6,000,000 units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. The units began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") on July 2, 2025 under the ticker symbol "ORIQU". Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described in the prospectus. Only whole warrants are exercisable. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Company's initial business combination, and will expire five years after the completion of the Company's initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or the Company's liquidation. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the ordinary shares and the warrants are expected to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbols "ORIQ" and "ORIQW", respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, and the simultaneous private placement of units, to pursue and consummate a business combination with one or more businesses.
ThinkEquity acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering.
A registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284189) relating to the units was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and became effective on July 1, 2025. This offering was made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of the final prospectus may be obtained from ThinkEquity, 17 State Street, 41st Floor, New York, New York 10004. The final prospectus has been filed with the SEC and is available on the SEC's website located at http://www.sec.gov.
