MCLEAN, VA / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2021 / Gladstone Acquisition Corporation (NASDAQ:GLEEU) ("Gladstone" or the "Company"), a newly organized 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, today announced the closing of its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 10,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant.
The Company's units began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 5, 2021 under the ticker symbol "GLEEU." Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares of common stock and warrants are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbols "GLEE" and "GLEEW", respectively. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole warrants are exercisable.
While the Company may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus its search on the farming or agricultural sector, including farming related operations and businesses that support the farming industry, where its management team has extensive experience.

Cooley LLP acted as counsel to Gladstone, and Loeb & Loeb LLP acted as counsel for the underwriter.
