OCA Acquisition Corp. Announces Closing of $149.5 Million Initial Public Offering Wednesday, January 20, 2021

OCAXU

New York, NY, Jan. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OCA Acquisition Corp. (the "Company" or "OCA"), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced the closing of its initial public offering of 14,950,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, including 1,950,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The units began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") on Friday, January 15, 2021 under the ticker symbol "OCAXU".

Each unit issued in the offering consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Once the securities comprising the units commence separate trading, the shares of Class A common stock and redeemable warrants are expected to be respectively listed on Nasdaq under the symbols "OCAX" and "OCAXW". No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade.

Stifel and Nomura acted as joint book-running managers for the offering.

A registration statement relating to these securities was declared effective by the SEC on January 14, 2021. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Of the proceeds received from the consummation of the initial public offering and a simultaneous private placement of warrants, $151,742,500 (or $10.15 per unit sold in the public offering) was placed in the Company’s trust account. An audited balance sheet of the Company as of January 20, 2021 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the initial public offering and the private placement will be included as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
