LSE Capital Limited has submitted an application to list its third Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, aiming to raise Rs. 500 million.
According to a notice to the PSX, the proposed SPAC-III will see Rs. 400 million subscribed by pre-IPO investors, including seed funding from LSE Capital, while the remaining Rs. 100 million will be offered through an Initial Public Offering (IPO).
The funds raised are intended to be used for acquiring one or more potential target companies in accordance with the Public Offering Regulations, 2017.
This latest filing comes after the successful launch of SPAC-I and SPAC-II, making LSE Capital a leading sponsor of SPAC listings in Pakistan’s capital market.
A Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) is a publicly listed shell company that raises funds through an IPO with the sole objective of acquiring or merging with an operating business within a specified period.
The structure allows private companies to access public markets through a merger rather than a traditional initial public offering, providing a unique opportunity for both investors and businesses.
LSE Capital’s SPAC-III is expected to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, potentially opening up new investment opportunities for Pakistani capital market participants.
