Alignvest Management launches second SPAC IPO, seeks $250 mln

Alignvest Acquisition II Corp (AQY), a Canadian special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC), has filed a preliminary prospectus with most securities regulatory authorities in Canada for an initial public offering of $250 million of class A restricted voting units. AQY is the second SPAC sponsored by Alignvest Management Corp, a Toronto-based alternative investment management firm. The first SPAC, Alignvest Acquisition Corp, last year agreed to acquire Trilogy International Partners LLC, a provider of wireless communication services. The US$269 million deal closed in February, giving Trilogy a Toronto Stock Exchange listing.
