Steve Ballmer's investment affiliates have committed $315 million in additional financing to Aspiration ahead of its merger with InterPrivate III Financial Partners Inc.
The $65 million of the financing is structured as mandatorily convertible preferred stock drawn by Aspiration that converts into equity at an equivalent price of $11 a share. The non-convertible preferred stock can be redeemed after nine years, and is set to fund Wednesday. The remaining money is a private investment in public equity.
