Burtech Acquisition Corp II has closed its initial public offering, raising $80 million through the sale of 8 million units priced at $10 apiece. The vehicle is organized as a special purpose acquisition company based in the Cayman Islands.
Each unit issued in the offering consists of one Class A ordinary share and one redeemable warrant. According to the companys offering structure, the warrants will become exercisable 30 days after Burtech completes a business combination and will allow holders to purchase Class A shares at $11.50 per share.
The combined units began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker BRKHU. When the securities separate into their component parts, the Class A shares will trade under BRKH and the warrants under BRKHW.
D. Boral Capital LLC served as the sole book-running manager for the transaction. The company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to buy up to 1.2 million additional units at the offering price to cover potential over-allotments.
Proceeds from the public offering, together with funds expected from a simultaneous private placement, will be used to pursue a business combination with one or more target companies. Burtech Acquisition Corp II has stated it will concentrate primarily on opportunities in the retail, lifestyle, hospitality, technology and real estate sectors.
Shahal M. Khan leads the firm as Chief Executive Officer and serves on the board of directors. Loeb & Loeb LLP acted as legal counsel to the company, while Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP provided legal advice to the underwriters.
