(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)
We are a newly organized blank check company that intends to focus our target search on middle-market businesses in North America or Europe with excellent management teams.
We plan to target businesses with enterprise values between $750 million and $1.5 billion or more. We intend to focus our efforts on companies owned by private equity funds and other private businesses to identify a suitable business combination target.
Our team is led by David Boris and Taylor Rettig, who collectively bring significant operating, investment and special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) experience.
David Boris, our CEO, CFO and a director since April 2025, has over 30 years of Wall Street experience in mergers and corporate finance, has organized four prior SPACs as co-CEO, and has advised on numerous other SPAC transactions as an advisor, investment banker and independent director. Mr. Boris was the senior managing director and head of investment banking at Pali Capital from 2007 to 2010. Mr. Boris served as a managing director for Morgan Joseph & Co., an investment banking firm and one of the earliest underwriters and advisors to SPACs, from 2001 to 2007. Mr. Boris served as president of Ladenburg Thalmann Group Inc. from 1999 to 2000. He was also executive vice president and head of investment banking at Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. from 1998 to 2000. He is an active member of the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), an organization with over 25,000 members who are in the top position of a qualifying company or division and are directly responsible for all operations of such business or division.
Taylor Rettig, our president and director since April 2025, has a diverse set of experiences as a C-level operating executive, growth equity investor, board member, investment banker and advisor, having most recently served as president of Marubeni Growth Capital US and COO of Atlas Crest Acquisition Corp. (“Atlas Crest”). Mr. Rettig began his career as an investment banker with Pali Capital Inc. and Morgan Joseph & Co., where he worked with Mr. Boris as a key member of the teams that helped to reintroduce the SPAC product to the market beginning in 2004, assisting with the underwriting of and advisory work related to business combinations for numerous SPACs.
We believe that our management team and board are well positioned to identify and execute attractive business combination opportunities.
