NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Helbiz–Helbiz, Inc. (“Helbiz” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HLBZ), a leader in micro-mobility and the first in its industry to be publicly listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, today announced that its registration statement on Form S-1 (“Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 28, 2021 registering: (i) the resale of up to 2,650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) held by PIPE investors; (ii) the resale of up to 2,650,000 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying warrants held by the PIPE investors at an exercise price of $11.50 per share; and (iii) 5,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the public warrants (HLBZW) at $11.50 per share.
