Item 8.01.

Other Events.

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 29, 2020 (the “Current Report”), H.I.G. Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) consummated an initial public offering (the “ IPO”) of 32,500,000 units (the “Units”), consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “ Class A Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrants”), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $325,000,000. The Company granted the underwriter in the IPO, a 45-day option to purchase up to 4,875,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

As previously disclosed in the Current Report, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “IPO Private Placement”) with H.I.G. Acquisition Advisors, LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor purchased 5,666,667 private placement warrants, each exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Private Placement Warrants”).

Subsequently, on November 25, 2020, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional 3,894,500 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on December 1, 2020. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $38,945,000. On December 1, 2020, simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 519,267 Private Warrants (the “Over-Allotment Private Placement” and, together with the IPO Private Placement, the “Private Placements”), generating gross proceeds of $778,900. The Private Warrants issued in the Over-Allotment Private Placement were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transaction did not involve a public offering. The net proceeds from the IPO (including the Over-Allotment Units) together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placements, $363,945,000 in the aggregate (the “Offering Proceeds”), were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriter of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Except with respect to interest earned on the Offering Proceeds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the Offering Proceeds will not be released from the trust account (1) to the Company, until the completion of its initial business combination, or (2) to its public shareholders, until the earliest of (a) the completion of the its initial business combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the Company’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete its initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of its Class A ordinary shares, and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated its business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to applicable law.

A pro-forma balance sheet as of October 23, 2020 reflecting the exercise of the over-allotment option and Over-Allotment Private Placement is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
