Launch Two Acquisition Corp. Completes $230 Million Initial Public Offering
10 October 2024 - 7:00AM
Launch Two Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) announced today the
closing of its initial public offering of 23,000,000 units, which
includes 3,000,000 units issued pursuant to the exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in full. The offering
was priced at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of
$230,000,000.
The Company’s units began trading on October 8,
2024 on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol
“LPBBU.” Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the
Company and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole
warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A
ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $11.50 per
share. Once the securities constituting the units begin separate
trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to
be listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “LPBB” and “LPBBW,”
respectively.
Of the proceeds received from the consummation
of the initial public offering (including the exercise of the
over-allotment option) and a simultaneous private placement of
warrants, $231,150,000 (or $10.05 per unit sold in the offering)
was placed in trust.
The Company is a blank check company formed for
the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange,
asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses. The Company
may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business or industry
or at any stage of its corporate evolution. The Company’s primary
focus, however, will be on technology and software infrastructure
companies whose products and services target financial services,

completing a business combination with an established business of
scale poised for continued growth, led by a highly regarded
management team.

of Directors (the “Board”), and Jurgen van de Vyver, its Chief
