Alberton Acquisition Corporation to Price $100 Million SPAC Tonight
Alberton will be the 40th SPAC to IPO in 2018.
Thanks to a super accommodating SEC (for quickly turning around a recently amended S-1 this morning), Alberton Acquisition Corporation is now expected to price their $100 million broadly-focused SPAC tonight for trading Wednesday morning. Alberton is being led by Bin (Ben) Wang, as Chairman and CEO. Mr. Wang is currently a Managing Director of Eon Capital International Ltd, a Hong Kong-incorporated corporate advisory service company.
Alberton will be the 40th SPAC to price in 2018, six more than 2017’s 34 SPAC IPOs. However, post-pricing of Alberton, we’re fresh out of new SPACs. Hopefully, we’ll get some new and exciting product to look at before the end of the week.
