  • 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.據《華爾街日報》報道，該公司已同意與一家特殊目的收購公司(SPAC)合併，該公司對該公司的估值約為13億美元，並將使其上市。
  • Amprius製造的電池比傳統的鋰離子電池更強大，因為它們在電池的負極使用能量密集型硅，而不是傳統材料石墨。
  • 該公司向客户銷售這些產品，例如空中客車SE(場外交易代碼：EADSY)和美國陸軍為電動飛機和無人機提供動力，並表示它也可以用於電動汽車。
  • Amprius正在與專注於交通的空間相結合肯辛頓資本收購公司IV(紐約證券交易所代碼：KCGI)的一項交易將於週四公佈。
  • 成立於2008年的Amprius加入了許多其他清潔能源初創公司的行列，達成了SPAC上市交易。
  • 作為交易的一部分，Amprius計劃從投資者那裏籌集2億美元的股本。
  • 這筆錢和肯辛頓SPAC在3月份籌集的2.3億美元可以用於擴大業務，不過SPAC的投資者可以在交易完成之前撤出資金。
