Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 13, 2021, the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File
No. 333-251655) (the "Registration Statement") relating to the initial public
offering (the "IPO") of Silver Crest Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") was
declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the
Company subsequently filed on January 13, 2021 a registration statement on
Form S-1 (File No. 333-252085) pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, which was effective immediately upon filing. On January 19,
2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 34,500,000 units (the "Units"), which
includes the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase an
additional 4,500,000 Units at the initial public offering price to cover
over-allotments. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par
value per share (the "Class A Ordinary Shares"), and one-half of one redeemable
warrant (the "Public Warrants"), each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder
thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50
per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of
$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345,000,000. Further, in
connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements,
forms of which were previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:
† an Underwriting Agreement, dated January 13, 2021, between the
Company and UBS Securities LLC, which contains customary representations and
warranties and indemnification of the underwriter by the Company;

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the "Warrant

for exercising the Warrants (as defined below); certain adjustment features of
the terms of exercise; provisions relating to redemption and cashless exercise
of the Warrants; certain registration rights of the holders of Warrants;
provision for amendments to the Warrant Agreement; and indemnification of the
warrant agent by the Company under the agreement;
† a Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreement, dated January 13,
2021 between the Company and Silver Crest Management LLC (the "Sponsor"),
pursuant to which the Sponsor purchased 8,900,000 private placement warrants,
each exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share,
subject to adjustment, at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the "Private Placement
Warrants" and, together with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants");
† an Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated January 13, 2021,
between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee,
which establishes the trust account that will hold the net proceeds of the IPO
and certain of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, and
sets forth the responsibilities of the trustee; the procedures for withdrawal
and direction of funds from the trust account; and indemnification of the
trustee by the Company under the agreement;
† a Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated January 13,
2021, between the Company and the Sponsor, which provides for customary demand
and piggy-back registration rights for the Sponsor, and customary piggy-back
registration rights for such other equityholders, as well as certain transfer
restrictions applicable to the Sponsor with respect to the Company's securities,
and, upon and following consummation of our initial business combination, the
right of the Sponsor to nominate three individuals for election to the Company's
board of directors;
† a Letter Agreement, dated January 13, 2021, among the Company, the
Sponsor and each executive officer and director of the Company, pursuant to

Company's initial business combination; to facilitate the liquidation and
winding up of the Company if an initial business combination is not consummated

business combination without the prior consent of the Sponsor; and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
† an Administrative Services Agreement, dated January 13, 2021, between
the Company and the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to make
available office space, secretarial and administrative services, as may be
required by the Company from time to time, for $10,000 per month until the
earlier of the Company's initial business combination or liquidation.
The above descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full
text of the applicable agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference
herein and filed herewith as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5,
respectively.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the IPO and the issuance and sale of the
Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 8,900,000 Private
Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating
total proceeds of $8,900,000 (the "Private Placement"). The Private Placement
Warrants, which were purchased by the Sponsor, are substantially similar to the
Public Warrants, except that if held by the Sponsor or its permitted
transferees, they (i) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (ii) are
not subject to being called for redemption (except in certain circumstances when
the Public Warrants are called for redemption and a certain price per Class A
Ordinary Share threshold is met) and (iii) subject to certain limited
exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the
consummation of the Company's initial business combination. If the Private
Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted
transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in
all redemption scenarios and exercisable by holders on the same basis as the
Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants have been issued pursuant to,
and are governed by the Warrant Agreement.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
On January 8, 2021 and in connection with the IPO, the Company adopted its
Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Second
