Xsolla SPAC 1 (NASDAQ: XSLL), a newly incorporated blank check company, announced that the underwriters of its initial public offering partially exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 419,385 units at $10.00 per unit. This exercise generated approximately $4.2 million in additional gross proceeds, increasing total units sold to 20,419,385 for aggregate gross proceeds of $204,193,850. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. D. Boral Capital LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the offering.
