New York, NY, Oct. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newcourt Acquisition Corp (the “Company”), a newly incorporated blank check company, today announced the closing of its upsized initial public offering of 25,000,000 units, including 3,000,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The offering was priced at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $250,000,000.
