Item 8.01.
Other Events.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of Heartland Media Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), on January 25, 2022, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 17,500,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $175,000,000. The Company granted BofA Securities, Inc. and Moelis & Company LLC, the representatives of the several underwriters of the IPO (the “Representatives”), a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On February 3, 2022, the Representatives partially exercised the over-allotment option and on February 7, 2022, purchased an additional 1,746,931 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”), generating gross proceeds of $17,469,310.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated January 20, 2022, by and between the Company and Heartland Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 9,875,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,875,000. In connection with the Representatives’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an additional 786,119 Private Placement Warrants, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $786,119.

In connection with the closing and sale of the Over-Allotment Units and 786,119 additional Private Placement Warrants, a total of $17,906,042.75 comprised of $17,119,923.80 of the proceeds from the closing and sale of the Over-Allotment Units (which amount includes $611,425.85 of the Representatives’ deferred discount) and $786,118.95 of the proceeds of the sale of the additional 786,119 Private Placement Warrants, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
