Former Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) Chief Business Officer Emil Michael filed a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday for the initial public offering of his newly-organized special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
What Happened: DPCM Capital Inc in its IPO intends to offer 25 million shares, with each unit consisting of one Class A common stock share and one-third warrant rights for a $10 offer price. Only whole warrants would be exercisable and each whole warrant will entitle the holder to buy Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. Underwriters will be paid 2% of gross proceeds as commissions.
The Class A common stock could be listed on NYSE under the symbol "XPOA."
The emerging growth company, led by CEO Michael, intends to raise a minimum of $250 million in proceeds. Including the underwriters' over-allotment options, the proceeds could reach up to $287.5 million.
Some of DPCM’s special advisors include former Executive Chairman of Alphabet Inc’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Board Eric Schmidt, early Uber investor Shervin Pishevar, and Betsy Atkins — founder of Ascend Communications.
Why Does It Matter: DPCM Capital will focus its search within the technology sector for North America-based enterprises valued between $1 billion and $2 billion.
Blank check companies are increasingly becoming more popular in the IPO space. The privately-owned lifestyle brand - Playboy Enterprises Inc announced last week, plans for a merger with the blank check company Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:MCAC).
In the last week of September, United Wholesale Mortgage LLC entered into a merger deal with SPAC Gores Holdings IV Inc (NASDAQ:GHIV) for a $16.1 billion valuation.
In August, electric vehicle company Lordstown Motors Corp decided to merge with SPAC DiamondPeak Holdings Corp (NASDAQ:DPHC), CNBC reported. Whereas, in June, EV maker Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ:NKLA) announced a reverse merger with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp.
