The proposed offering is being managed by EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and Haitong International Securities as the joint bookrunners. The underwriters were granted a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase additional 1.5 million company units.
The blank check company is backed by Hong Kong-based investment management firm Keywise Capital which also has offices in Beijing and Shanghai. However, its charter will not allow a business combination with firms whose operations are located in China (including Hong Kong and Macau).
Keywise Capital managing director Fang Zheng and managing partner Dr. Kai Xiong lead the SPAC as the board chairman and CEO, respectively. The firm said that it intends to focus its business combination search on “disruptive technology and innovative services companies in developed economies such as the U.S. and Israel, and Southeast Asia.”
