Item 8.01. Other Events


As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2020, on October 16, 2020, 5:01 Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") consummated its initial public offering (the "IPO") of 8,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $80,000,000. The Company granted the underwriter in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 360,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company's sponsor, 5:01 Acquisition LLC, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,600,000.

Subsequently, on November 9, 2020, the underwriter exercised the over-allotment option in part, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional 256,273 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Over-Allotment Shares") occurred on November 12, 2020. In connection with the over-allotment exercise, the Company issued 256,273 Over-Allotment Shares at a price of $10.00 per share, generating total gross proceeds of approximately $2.6 million. After giving effect to the issuance of the Over-Allotment Shares, the over-allotment option remains exercisable for up to 943,727 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Substantially concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Over-Allotment Shares, the Company completed the private sale of 5,126 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Company's sponsor, 5:01 Acquisition LLC, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $51,260.

A total of $82.6 million of the net proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock in the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Shares) and the private placements on October 16, 2020 and November 12, 2020 were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company's public shareholders.
