Insight Partners created a SPAC with units priced at $10/share. Each unit consists of 1 share of common stock plus a 3/10 of a warrant with a strike price of $11.50. Insight issued 10 million units to investors. The partners also contributed $3 million in exchange for 3 million warrants;

this cash was used to pay the SPAC’s expenses until it found a private company, GetFood Inc., to take public. GetFood provides on-demand food delivery, and grew rapidly during the COVID epidemic. Insight also arranged for a PIPE investment of $100 million at $10/share.

Underwriting fees for the merger were $300,000. Before the deal was announced, the SPAC shares traded at $10/share. Once the deal was announced, the price remained at $10/share.

At the time of the deal completion, 90% of the SPAC shareholders chose to redeem. Because of the high redemption rate, the Insight Partners agreed to reduce their promote from 20% to 10% to ensure that the deal would be consummated.
