  • Amprius Technologies Inc has agreed to merge with a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC)that values the company at about $1.3 billion and would take it public, Wall Street Journal reported.
  • Amprius makes batteries that it says are more powerful than conventional lithium-ion cells because they use energy-dense silicon in the battery's anode instead of graphite, the traditional material. 
  • The company sells them to customers such as Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) and the U.S. Army to power electric aircraft and drones and says it can also be used for electric cars.
  • Amprius is combining with the transportation-focused SPAC Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp IV (NYSE:KCGI) in a deal that will be unveiled Thursday.
  • Founded in 2008, Amprius joins many other clean-energy startups in reaching a SPAC deal to go public.
  • As part of the deal, Amprius plans to raise $200 million in equity from investors. 
  • That money and the $230 million the Kensington SPAC raised in March could be used to expand the business, though SPAC investors can pull out their money before a deal goes through.

  • Amprius Technologies Inc.据《华尔街日报》报道，该公司已同意与一家特殊目的收购公司(SPAC)合并，该公司对该公司的估值约为13亿美元，并将使其上市。
  • Amprius制造的电池比传统的锂离子电池更强大，因为它们在电池的负极使用能量密集型硅，而不是传统材料石墨。
  • 该公司向客户销售这些产品，例如空中客车SE(场外交易代码：EADSY)和美国陆军为电动飞机和无人机提供动力，并表示它也可以用于电动汽车。
  • Amprius正在与专注于交通的空间相结合肯辛顿资本收购公司IV(纽约证券交易所代码：KCGI)的一项交易将于周四公布。
  • 成立于2008年的Amprius加入了许多其他清洁能源初创公司的行列，达成了SPAC上市交易。
  • 作为交易的一部分，Amprius计划从投资者那里筹集2亿美元的股本。
  • 这笔钱和肯辛顿SPAC在3月份筹集的2.3亿美元可以用于扩大业务，不过SPAC的投资者可以在交易完成之前撤出资金。
