Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AmperCap Acquisition Company reports that its IPO underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, buying 1,837,500 additional units at $10.00 per unit for gross proceeds of $18,375,000. This follows the earlier sale of 12,500,000 IPO units at $10.00 each for $125,000,000 and 512,500 private placement units for $5,125,000.

The sponsors and EarlyBirdCapital also bought 55,125 additional private placement units at $10.00 each, adding $551,250. In total, approximately $144,808,750 from the IPO, over-allotment, and private placements has been deposited into a U.S.-based trust account. Because the over-allotment was not fully exercised, the sponsor forfeited 12,500 founder shares.

Insights

Routine SPAC greenshoe exercise modestly increases trust cash.

The partial over-allotment exercise adds $18,375,000 of gross proceeds on top of the initial IPO and private placements. Combined with additional sponsor and underwriter private units, roughly $144,808,750 is now held in the SPAC’s trust account after the offering steps.

This structure is standard for SPACs: public units at $10.00 and concurrent private placement units purchased by the sponsor and underwriter. The underwriters’ decision to leave 37,500 units unexercised leads to forfeiture of 12,500 founder shares, a small adjustment relative to the overall capital base.

Future implications for investors will depend on how effectively AmperCap deploys these trust funds in a business combination. Subsequent filings around any proposed transaction will provide further detail on target valuation, redemption dynamics, and the ultimate use of the capital raised.

over-allotment option financial
"the underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 1,875,000 additional units"
An over-allotment option is a special agreement that allows underwriters to sell more shares than initially planned if demand is high. Think of it like a retailer offering extra units of a popular product to meet additional customer interest. This option helps ensure the full sale is completed and can also give investors extra shares if they want more.
Private Placement Units financial
"the Company completed the private sale of 512,500 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to AmperSPAC LLC"
trust account financial
"a total of approximately $144,808,750 of the proceeds ... was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company"
A trust account is a special bank or brokerage account where assets are held and managed by a designated person or firm (the trustee) for the benefit of another person or group (the beneficiary). It matters to investors because it separates assets from personal or corporate funds, can protect assets, control how and when money is used, and may affect tax or legal rights—think of it as a locked drawer opened only under agreed rules.
founder shares financial
"As a result, on June 10, 2026, 12,500 founder shares of the Company held by the Sponsor were forfeited"
Founder shares are the ownership stakes given to the people who start a company, often with extra voting power or protections compared with ordinary shares. For investors, they matter because founders’ control and incentives influence decisions about strategy, hiring, and whether the company sells or stays independent — like a family that keeps majority voting rights in a household decision. High founder ownership can mean stable leadership but also a risk that outside shareholders have less influence.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Partial Exercise of Over-Allotment Option

 

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 5, 2026, AmperCap Acquisition Company (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) on June 4, 2026. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share of the Company (each, a “Share Right”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $125,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 512,500 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to AmperSPAC LLC, (the “Sponsor”), EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters, (“EBC”) and certain third-party investors at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $5,125,000. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities) are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-294363) for the IPO, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2026. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

In connection with the IPO, the underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the prospectus (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase up to 1,875,000 additional units to cover over-allotments (the “Option Units”), if any. On June 10, 2026, the underwriters purchased an additional 1,837,500 Option Units pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The remaining 37,500 Option Units will not be exercised. The Option Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $18,375,000. In connection with the closing of the Over-Allotment Option, the Sponsor and EBC purchased an additional 55,125 Private Placement Units in the aggregate at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $551,250.

 

Following the closing of the IPO and the Over-Allotment Option, a total of approximately $144,808,750 of the proceeds from the sale of the Units, the Option Units, and the Private Placement Units was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

 

Forfeiture of Founder Shares

 

On June 8, 2026, the underwriters informed the Company that they would not exercise the remainder of their over-allotment option. As a result, on June 10, 2026, 12,500 founder shares of the Company held by the Sponsor were forfeited by the Sponsor.
