thereupon
Immediately after which
Thereupon means immediately after that or as a direct consequence: The jury delivered its verdict, and thereupon the judge pronounced sentence.
The word is formal and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing mostly in legal, historical, or literary contexts.
It can also mean on that matter or subject, though this use is rare.
