Item 8.01. Other Events

On January 3, 2022, Aetherium Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") completed its initial public offering (the "Offering") of 11,500,000 units ("Units"), including the issuance of 1,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter's full exercise of its over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company ("Class A Common Stock"), and one redeemable warrant ("Warrant"), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, pursuant to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-258072). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.

As previously reported, simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate of 528,500 units (the "Placement Units") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $5,285,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the Offering. The holders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Placement Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the prospectus) until 30 days after completion of the Company's initial business combination. The holders were also granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Placement Units. The Placement Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

A total of $116,725,000 of the net proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company's public stockholders. An audited balance sheet as of January 3, 2022 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the Offering and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
