Item 8.01. Other Events

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 4, 2022 (the “Current Report”), Redwoods Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), one redeemable warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

As also previously disclosed in the Current Report, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) with Redwoods Capital LLC and Chardan Capital Markets, LLC of 377,500 units and 100,000 units, respectively (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $4,775,000. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

As of April 4, 2022, a total of $101,000,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. An audited balance sheet as of April 4, 2022, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement, is included with this report as Exhibit 99.1.
