Item 8.01Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed in its definitive proxy statement dated as of January 13, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), BlueRiver Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) will hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on January 31, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the Extension Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement).

 

The Company has identified a potential business combination target company in the medical technology sector (the “Partner”) for an initial business combination (the “Potential Business Combination”). The Company believes the Potential Business Combination with Partner represents a compelling opportunity for the Company to complete its initial business combination and has entered into a letter of intent with Partner. Such letter of intent is non-binding. The execution of a definitive business combination agreement is subject to several conditions, including the completion of due diligence and negotiation and preparation of documentation. The Company cannot assure that it will enter into a definitive business combination agreement with Partner.

 

If the Extension Proposal is implemented, the Company plans to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the trust account and thereafter to maintain the funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Interest on such deposit account is currently 2.5% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate and the Company cannot assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly.

 

The Definitive Proxy Statement reported that the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account on the Record Date after taking into account taxes owed but not paid by such date (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the General Meeting) was approximately $10.63 per share. However, on the Record Date, there were 36,737,500 outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), consisting of 7,187,500 outstanding Class B ordinary shares of the Company and 29,550,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, consisting of 28,750,000 redeemable Class A ordinary shares sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) and 800,000 non-redeemable Class A ordinary shares sold by the Company to BlueRiver Ventures, LLC as part of a private placement consummated concurrently with the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. The amount remaining in the Trust Account as of the Record was approximately $291,808,930. Accordingly, the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account (as defined in the Proxy Statement) on the Record Date after taking into account taxes owed but not paid by such date (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the General Meeting) was approximately $10.15 per Public Share. The closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Record Date was $10.12.
