NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Concord Acquisition Corp (the "Company") today announced the closing of its initial public offering of 27,600,000 units, which included the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The offering was priced at $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $276,000,000.

The units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") and trade under the ticker symbol "CND.U." Each unit consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant.

Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Company expects that its Class A common stock and warrants will be listed on the NYSE under the symbols "CND" and "CNDWS," respectively.

The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While the Company may pursue a merger opportunity in any industry or sector, it intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team and sponsor to identify, acquire and manage a business in the financial services and financial technology sectors, including payments, enterprise software, and data analytics.
