Note 4 —Initial Public Offering
Public Units
On March 13, 2020, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, including 3,000,000 Over-Allotment Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $10.4 million, inclusive of approximately $6.3 million in deferred underwriting commissions. Of the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, 5,000,000 Units were purchased by certain domestic private pooled investment vehicles managed by Deerfield Management Company, L.P. and its affiliates (the “Deerfield Funds”).
Each Unit consists of one of the Company’s shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-fourth of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrants”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.

Founder Shares
On December 30, 2019, the Sponsor received 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, or approximately $0.004 per share. In January 2020, the Sponsor transferred 100,000 Founder Shares to each of Steven Hochberg, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Wolfe, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, and Richard Barasch, the Company’s Executive Chairman, and 30,000 Founder Shares to each of Dr. Jennifer Carter, Dr. Mohit Kaushal and Dr. Gregory Sorensen, the Company’s independent director nominees, for the same per-share price initially paid by the Sponsor, resulting in the Sponsor holding 3,922,500 Founder Shares. On February 19, 2020, the Company effected a split of its Class B common stock resulting in the Sponsor holding 5,360,000 Founder Shares, resulting in an increase in the total number of Founder Shares from 4,312,500 to 5,750,000. All shares and associated amounts have been retroactively restated. Of the 5,750,000 Founder Shares, up to 750,000 shares were subject to forfeiture by the initial stockholders depending on the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on March 13, 2020; thus, the Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions.
The initial stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier if, subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their common stock for cash, securities or other property.
