Kairos Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) today announced that it
closed the issuance of an additional 3,600,000 units pursuant to
the exercise of the underwriters’ option in full to purchase

$10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $36,000,000 and
bringing the total gross proceeds of the initial public offering to
$276,000,000.
Kairos Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company incorporated
for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset
acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business
combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may
pursue a business combination target in any business or industry,
the Company intends to focus on regulated insurance or reinsurance
companies, distributors or technology and insurance service
providers that focus on specialty lines of business or that target
product or customer niches. The Company is led by Chief Executive
Officer, Peter Bang and Chief Financial Officer, Jerry de St.
Paer.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as the sole-book running
manager of the offering. I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as the
co-manager of the offering.
The Company’s units are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market
(“Nasdaq”) and commenced trading under the ticker symbol “KAIRU” on
January 6, 2021. Each unit consists of one of the Company’s Class A
ordinary shares and one-half of one redeemable warrant, each whole
warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A
ordinary share 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 Class A ordinary shares and
warrants are expected to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbols
“KAIR” and “KAIRW,” respectively.
Of the proceeds received from the consummation
of the initial public offering (as well as the exercise of the
option to purchase additional units) and related private placements
of warrants, $276,000,000 (or $10.00 per unit sold in the public
offering) was placed in trust. An audited balance sheet of the
