Item 8.01. Other Events.

Separate Trading of Units, Class A Common Stock and Warrants

As previously reported, on December 10, 2020, Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 27,500,000 units (the “Units”). On December 14, 2020, the underwriters in the IPO exercised their over-allotment option in full and purchased additional 4,125,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (“Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $11.50 per share. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $316,250,000.

On January 28, 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 holders of the Units may elect to separately trade shares of the Class A Common Stock and the Warrants comprising the Units commencing on January 29, 2021. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MUDSU,” and the Class A Common Stock and Warrants that are separated will trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “MUDS” and “MUDSW,” respectively. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Warrants will trade. Holders of Units will need to instruct their brokers to contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, to separate their Units into shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants.
