SPAC IPO: RF Acquisition Corp III (RFAM)
Ticker: RFAM (Units: RFAMU) Size: $100 Million Sponsor: RF Dynamic LLC

RF Acquisition Corp III priced its $100 million IPO on February 12, 2026, and hits the Nasdaq today. This is the third vehicle from the Singapore-based RF Acquisition team, marking a rapid-fire expansion of their SPAC franchise. The launch comes on the heels of significant momentum: their first vehicle, RF Acquisition Corp., successfully closed its merger with GCL Global Holdings in February 2025, while their second, RF Acquisition Corp II, is currently working toward a combination with Nanyang Biologics. The sponsor’s ability to recycle capital and maintain a deal pipeline in the Southeast Asian corridor remains a key differentiator.

Strategy: The SPAC is targeting high-growth “new economy” sectors within Southeast Asia, with a specific focus on deep technology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology. Notably, the charter explicitly excludes targets with principal operations in Greater China, focusing instead on the burgeoning tech hubs of Singapore and neighboring ASEAN markets.

Leadership Team:

  • Tse Meng Ng (Chairman & CEO): A veteran financier and co-founder of Ruifeng Wealth Management. Ng has a proven SPAC track record, having led both prior RF vehicles through their respective IPO and de-SPAC phases.
  • Chee Soon Tham (CFO): A seasoned financial executive and director who serves as a core pillar across the RF Acquisition platform.

Structure: 10 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the completion of a business combination. By utilizing rights rather than traditional warrants, the sponsor seeks to minimize long-term dilution and derivative accounting volatility—a structure that has become the signature of the RF brand. EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. acted as the sole book-runner.

SPAC IPO: Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. II (WLII)
Ticker: WLII (Units: WLIIU) Size: $125 Million Sponsor: Willow Lane Sponsor, LLC

Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. II priced its $125 million IPO on February 12, 2026, and begins trading today. This second effort from Luke Weil follows the success of Willow Lane Acquisition Corp. I, which reached a 25% premium over its offer price following its announced merger with cloud provider Boost Run in late 2025. Weil is a prolific SPAC veteran, having previously steered multiple Andina Acquisition vehicles to successful exits, including the 2018 combination with Lazydays Holdings. This launch signals a “strike while the iron is hot” approach, leveraging the recent performance of his first Willow Lane vehicle to attract institutional interest.

Strategy: The team is hunting for established middle-market companies (valuation under $1 billion) with positive EBITDA and sustainable cash flows. While the mandate is broad, the primary focus lies in consumer goods, gaming and leisure, and industrial manufacturing—sectors where the management team holds deep operational and transactional roots.

Leadership Team:

  • B. Luke Weil (Chairman & CEO): An experienced SPAC operator and former investment banker at Bear Stearns. Weil previously served as head of international business development for Scientific Games Corp. in Latin America.
  • George Peng (CFO): Brings extensive financial management and capital markets experience to the platform.
  • Marjorie (Maya) Hernandez (COO): An operational expert focused on identifying niche market leaders for the combination pipeline.

Structure: 12.5 million units at $10.00. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth (1/4) of one redeemable warrant, exercisable at $11.50. The lean warrant coverage is a nod to the sponsor’s track record, offering enough “sweetener” to attract yield-seekers without overburdening the post-merger capital structure. BTIG, LLC acted as the sole book-runner.
