SPAC IPO: M EVO GLOBAL ACQUISITION CORP II (MEVO)
Ticker: MEVOU (Units)
Size: $270 Million
Sponsor: Evolution Sponsor Holdings LLC II

M Evo Global Acquisition Corp II upsized its market entrance today, pricing a $270 million IPO—a significant $45 million jump from its initial $225 million target. Trading on the Nasdaq, the vehicle marks a swift return for the management team following the late-2025 launch of their first Evolution Global vehicle. This upsized demand signals institutional appetite for pure-play exposure to the critical minerals supply chain, a sector increasingly viewed as a national security imperative as the U.S. races to secure domestic sources for semiconductor and battery production.

Strategy: The SPAC is laser-focused on the critical minerals sector, targeting businesses that own, operate, or develop assets fundamental to U.S. economic and national security interests. This includes the extraction, processing, and recycling of materials vital to the energy transition and advanced manufacturing.

Leadership Team:

  • Stephen Silver (Chairman & CEO): Founder and Managing Director of Australia-based Evolution Capital. Silver brings deep experience in metals and mining capital markets, having previously led various cross-border investment initiatives.
  • Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes (COO): A veteran of the energy and resource sectors, Zumwalt-Forbes has extensive experience in engineering and project development, previously serving in leadership roles at Black Mountain and various mineral-focused ventures.

Structure: 27 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant. Cohen & Company Capital Markets acted as the sole book-runner for the deal.

SPAC IPO: MUZERO ACQUISITION CORP (MUZE)
Ticker: MUZEU (Units)
Size: $175 Million
Sponsor: Muzero Acquisition Sponsors LLC

Muzero Acquisition Corp priced its $175 million IPO on January 29, 2026, and hits the Nasdaq today. Led by a team with a heavy tilt toward the Asia-Pacific (APAC) capital markets, Muzero is positioned as a bridge for technology-enabled firms looking to tap into U.S. public equity. Chairman Sheldon Trainor-DeGirolamo provides the “so what” here: he recently shepherded Bitdeer (BTDR) through its SPAC merger, a deal that has since traded with notable resilience compared to its peers. Muzero aims to replicate that success by hunting for mature tech assets with a clear path to profitability.

Strategy: While sector-agnostic by charter, the team is primarily scouting “technology-enabled” businesses. The search is global, though the management’s historical footprint suggests a high probability of a target with cross-border operations or significant APAC market exposure.

Leadership Team:

  • Sheldon Trainor-DeGirolamo (Chairman): Founder of PacBridge Capital Partners and a veteran of Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. His track record includes the successful de-SPAC of Bitdeer.
  • Von Lam (CEO): Founder of Falcon Partners, bringing a specialized focus on private equity and cross-border M&A.
  • Yuming Zou (CFO): Currently the CFO of Fangzhou (HKx: 6086), adding deep regulatory and financial reporting expertise in both the HK and US markets.

Structure: 17.5 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half (1/2) of one redeemable warrant, exercisable at $11.50. BTIG, LLC served as the sole book-running manager.

SPAC IPO: NEWBRIDGE ACQUISITION LTD (NBRG)
Ticker: NBRGU (Units)
Size: $50 Million
Sponsor: Wealth Path Holdings Limited

Newbridge Acquisition Ltd priced its $50 million initial public offering on January 29, 2026, and begins trading on the Nasdaq today. This micro-cap vehicle enters a market where small-scale, nimble SPACs are finding success by targeting mid-market leaders overlooked by larger blank-check firms. The deal is backed by a management team with significant experience in the “bridge” SPAC space—specifically focusing on companies that benefit from cross-border synergies and specialized financial restructuring. CEO Yongsheng Liu brings a proven track record to the table, having previously led Wealthbridge Acquisition through its successful merger with Scienjoy and Goldenbridge Acquisition through its combination with SunCar.

Strategy: The SPAC intends to pursue a broad search for a target company, remaining industry and sector agnostic. However, management intends to leverage its expertise in identifying small-cap businesses with defensible market positions and strong growth potential that are ready for the rigor of U.S. public markets.

Leadership Team:

    • Yongsheng Liu (Chairman & CEO): A serial SPAC entrepreneur and former CEO of Royal China Holdings. He previously spearheaded the successful de-SPAC transactions for both Wealthbridge Acquisition and Goldenbridge Acquisition.
  • Zhen Li (CFO): A veteran in financial management and credit risk, Li previously served as the Board Secretary for Wealthbridge Acquisition during its merger process, bringing deep operational continuity to the team.

Structure: 5 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right. Each right entitles the holder to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of a business combination. The rights-heavy structure is a tactical move to minimize dilution while providing a guaranteed equity kicker for investors upon a successful close. Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC acted as the sole book-running manager.
