(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)
We are a newly organized blank check company – also known as a SPAC. We intend to focus our efforts on seeking and consummating an initial business combination with a company that has an enterprise value of at least $1 billion, although a target entity with a smaller or larger enterprise value may be considered.
We have identified the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors as areas that allow us to combine the expertise of our team with a sector that is currently undergoing significant regulatory and business change.
We were formed by executives of M3 Partners and Brigade, but are not owned or controlled by M3 Partners or Brigade and are independent of both such companies. M3 Partners is a leading financial advisory firm which provides advisory services to companies at inflection points in their growth trajectories. Brigade is a leading global investment advisor that was founded in 2006 to specialize in credit-focused investment strategies and has approximately $28.7 billion in assets under management as of June 1, 2025.
Mohsin Y. Meghji serves as our executive chairman of the board of directors. Mr. Meghji was the principal sponsor of the Initial SPAC from 2015 to 2019, the Second SPAC from 2020 to 2023, the Third SPAC from 2021 to 2023, the Fourth SPAC from 2021 to 2022 and the Fifth SPAC from 2024 to 2025. Mr. Meghji has served as the Managing Partner of M3 Partners since 2015 and is a nationally recognized U.S. turnaround professional with a track record of building value across a wide range of sectors, including cryptocurrencies and blockchain, power, energy and industrials. M3 Partners is a merchant banking, investment and restructuring advisory firm founded by Mr. Meghji which provides operational, strategic and financial advisory solutions to support complex businesses at inflection points in their growth trajectory.
Matthew Perkal serves as our CEO and he is one of our directors. He also served as an executive vice president of the Second SPAC and as CEO of the Third SPAC, the Fourth SPAC and the Fifth SPAC. Since 2010, Mr. Perkal has led Brigade’s industry coverage for various sectors, including retail, consumer, gaming and lodging. He has structured and led many of the firm’s successful deals in the private credit space, including Barney’s and Sears.
Donald E. Morgan III, founder, managing partner and chief investment officer of Brigade, has more than 30 years of experience as an investor and entrepreneur. Prior to forming Brigade, Mr. Morgan was a senior managing director and co-head of fixed income at MacKay Shields, LLC. During his leadership, the firm’s high yield products ranked in the top 10 percent of their peer groups. At the same time, Mr. Morgan grew the firm’s high yield assets to $16 billion. Mr. Morgan joined its predecessor firm in 1997 and co-managed its high yield funds until 2000, when he became the lead portfolio manager of the High Yield Division. Mr. Morgan began his career in money management, as a high yield analyst at Fidelity Management and Research Company.
(Note: M3-Brigade Acquisition Corp. VI disclosed the terms for its SPAC IPO on Aug. 5, 2025, in an S-1 filing: 30 million units at $10.00 each to raise $300 million. Each unit consists of one share of ordinary stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant.)
