(Nasdaq:DWACU) ("Digital World" or the "Company") announced today the closing of its initial public offering of 25,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit. 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 are exercisable. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full for an additional 3,750,000 units at the time of the closing of the Offering.
