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.
