Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 18, 2021, Zanite Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) completed the sale of 2,300,000 private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to Zanite Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,300,000, to extend the period of time it will have to consummate its initial business combination by 6 months from the current deadline of May 19, 2021 until November 19, 2021 (the “completion window”). The Company’s stockholders are not entitled to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with such extension of the completion window. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants sold to the Sponsor in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 8.01.

Other events.

On May 18, 2021, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing that the completion window was extended until November 19, 2021 because the Sponsor has timely deposited $2,300,000 in the Company’s trust account, representing the aggregate purchase price for the Private Placement Warrants.
