Alignvest Management upsizes second SPAC IPO to $350 million

Alignvest Acquisition II Corp (AQY), a Canadian special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC), has filed a final prospectus with most securities regulatory authorities in Canada for an initial public offering of class A restricted voting units. The filing included an adjustment in the IPO's target, from a prior $250 million to $350 million, which combined with permanent capital committed would give AQY about $460 million to invest. AQY is the second SPAC sponsored by Alignvest Management Corp, a Toronto alternative investment management firm. The first SPAC acquired Trilogy International Partners LLC earlier in 2017.
