FinServ Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: FSRVU) (the “Company”) announced
today that it closed its initial public offering of 25,000,000
units, including 3,000,000 units issued pursuant to the exercise by
the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The offering was
priced at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of
$250,000,000.
The Company’s units are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market

November 1, 2019. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s
Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant, each
whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of
Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole
warrants will trade and are exercisable. Once the securities
comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares of Class A
common stock and warrants are expected to be traded on Nasdaq under
the symbols “FSRV” and “FSRVW,” respectively.
The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of
effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition,
stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with
one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue an initial
business combination target in any business or industry, it intends
