Insights

Financial Analyst

Indigo Acquisition Corp. completed a $100M SPAC IPO, with proceeds in trust as it seeks a merger target in an established, profitable business.

Indigo Acquisition Corp. has successfully raised $100 million through its initial public offering by selling 10 million units at $10.00 per unit. This SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) now trades on Nasdaq under "INACU", with each unit containing one ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth of an ordinary share upon completing a business combination.

The entire $100 million proceeds have been placed in trust while management searches for a suitable acquisition target. The company is targeting established, profitable companies with attractive market positions and growth potential, leveraging the expertise of Chairman/CEO James Cassel and COO/CFO Scott Salpeter, both experienced in investment banking.

Notably, EarlyBirdCapital served as the book-running manager with IB Capital as co-manager. The underwriters have a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1.5 million units to cover over-allotments, potentially increasing the total capital raised.

As a blank check company, Indigo has no existing commercial operations and must complete a business combination within a typical timeframe of 18-24 months (though not explicitly stated in the release) or return funds to investors. The management team's focus on established, profitable businesses suggests a conservative approach compared to SPACs targeting pre-revenue or early-stage companies.
