Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bluerock Acquisition Corp. completed its initial public offering of 17,250,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of a redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant allowing the purchase of one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 after the company completes its initial business combination.

A total of $172,500,000 of net proceeds from the IPO and private placement, including up to $7,350,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, was deposited into a U.S.-based trust account, which will fund an initial business combination or redemptions if no deal is completed within 24 months.

Bluerock’s SPAC IPO raises $172.5M, funds trust, and sets a 24‑month deal clock.

Bluerock Acquisition Corp. completed a SPAC IPO of 17,250,000 units at $10.00 each for gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Each unit bundles one Class A ordinary share with one-third of a redeemable warrant, and each whole warrant is exercisable at $11.50 per share starting 30 days after completion of the initial business combination, which defines the upside participation for unit holders.

The company also issued 4,500,000 private placement warrants at $1.00 per warrant to the sponsor and underwriters, raising $4,000,000, on terms described as largely identical to the public warrants. A total of $172,500,000 of net proceeds, including up to $7,350,000 in deferred underwriting commissions, was placed into a U.S.-based trust account. Those funds are restricted until the earlier of completing an initial business combination, specified redemption events, or failing to close a deal within 24 months from the closing of the IPO.

Governance was put in place with independent directors Peter Cotton and Andrew Weksler joining the board, chairing the audit and compensation committees, and receiving 20,000 and 40,000 Class B ordinary shares, respectively, as compensation. The adoption of a Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, along with trust and warrant agreements, formalizes the typical SPAC structure and the protections and redemption rights afforded to public shareholders before a business combination occurs.
