COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS, Utah, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercato Partners Acquisition Corporation ("MPRA" or the "Company") announced today that the underwriter of its previously announced public offering of units has exercised its overallotment option, resulting in the issuance of an additional 3,000,000 units at a public offering price of $10.00 per unit. After giving effect to the exercise of the option, an aggregate of 23,000,000 units have been issued in the initial public offering at an aggregate offering price of $230,000,000.

MPRA is a newly incorporated, blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team and the broader Mercato Partners platform to identify, acquire and operate a business in either the technology or branded consumer products sector that possesses the suitable characteristics to achieve attractive long-term risk adjusted returns, though it reserves the right to pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business or industry.

The units are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") and began trading under the ticker symbol "MPRAU" on November 4, 2021. Each unit consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. 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 "MPRA" and "MPRAW," respectively.

BofA Securities acted as the sole book-running manager and underwriter for the initial public offering.

The offering was made only by means of a prospectus. Copies of the prospectus may be obtained by contacting BofA Securities, NC1-004-03-43, 200 North College Street, 3rd Floor, Charlotte, NC 28255-0001, Attention: Prospectus Department, or by email at dg.prospectus_requests@bofa.com.

A registration statement related to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and became effective on November 3, 2021. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
