(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands)
We are a newly organized blank check company (special-purpose acquisition company or SPAC). We plan to focus on acquisition or business combination targets in the American market with $500 million or more of enterprise value, low leverage, and owners interested in growth capital who are willing to roll over significant equity.
We will look for sectors that are capital constrained, overlooked or out of favor. The following are examples of source sectors for our prospective target. As a result of our generalist approach, we can dynamically adjust our sector focus as the markets evolve and we will not be at risk of being tied to a sector that becomes expensive before an acquisition can be made.
Energy – The transition to renewable energy has rapidly shifted capital availability within the sector. While renewables-focused companies have access to capital, there are portions of the energy sector that are fundamental to societal sustainability, which have become capital constrained as well as overlooked. The demand for energy is steady and increasing but the supply of capital for production has changed rapidly.
Nuclear Energy – The fear around nuclear power production and the long development timeframes has pulled capital from the industry. However, renewable energy solutions are struggling to meet intermittency and infrastructure challenges. Even the countries in Europe which moved strongly away from nuclear power generation have started to come back around. We anticipate the steady energy production and lack of carbon emissions output will create a lasting place for nuclear power.
Defense Tech – The increasingly tense geopolitical environment has refocused allied powers on the need for security and defense modernization and manufacturing. The advanced defense tech startup space has seen increased focus, but the reprioritization of defense has created demand far beyond what’s being met by the defense tech startup space.
Specialty Finance – Regulatory shifts since the 2008 financial crisis have created more stringent bank capital requirements, constraining the lending that banks are able to provide. Private credit has stepped in to fill the financing gap left by banks. However, the consumer finance space continues to be underserved.
Women’s Health – The need for better women’s general and reproductive health solutions is growing beyond what current medical markets have been able to provide. With couples waiting longer on average to begin having children, the demand for assisted reproductive technology is growing dramatically in a market that is highly price inelastic.
Tim Rotolo, our chairman, CEO and CFO, intends to employ an agile approach to identify and invest in undervalued assets in capital constrained markets with structural dislocations. Mr. Rotolo has experience extending across multiple ventures, including his roles as founder and CEO of Lloyd Harbor Capital Management, a SEC investment advisor with approximately $400 million in assets under management (“AUM”) as of December 31, 2023, CEO and Founder of Range Fund Holdings, a dedicated investment platform for ETF asset managers, and founder of North Shore Indices, Inc. which launched URNM, a uranium mining ETF in 2019. URNM raised over $1 billion before its acquisition by Sprott Asset Management in 2022. Mr. Rotolo is currently the Chairman of Premier American Uranium, a business incubated inside of a hedge fund he co-founded. Mr. Rotolo led the company through its initial public offering in Canada. Once public, Mr. Rotolo led the company as its CEO until he announced the company’s acquisition of American Future Fuel, at which time he stepped down as CEO.
(Note: Range Capital Acquisition filed its S-1 for its SPAC IPO on Nov. 27, 2024, and disclosed the terms: 10.0 million units at $10.00 each to raise $100.0 million. Each unit consists of one share of ordinary stock and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of stock upon the consummation of its initial business combination.)
