Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), on January 7, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 10,000,000 units (the “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”), one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (“Right”) and three-fourths 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 $100,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters in the IPO a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

On January 19, 2021, the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional 1,500,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) occurred on January 21, 2021, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company, on January 7, 2021, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 360,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) to ARC Global Investments LLC (the “Sponsor”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $3,600,000. In connection with the closing of the purchase of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company sold an additional 33,750 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating an additional $337,500 of gross proceeds.

An audited balance sheet as of January 7, 2021 reflecting receipt of the net proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants on January 7, 2021, but not the proceeds from the sale of the Over-Allotment Units on January 21, 2021, had been filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K on January 14, 2021.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company announcing the exercise of the over-allotment option is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
