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 ondemand food delivery, and grew rapidly during the COVID pandemic. Insight also arranged for a PIPE investment of \($100\) million at \($10\) share. Before the deal was announced, the SPAC shares traded at \($10\) share. Once the deal was announced, the price remained at \($10\) share.
