NEW SPAC DEAL DECKS
DAAQ – DIGITAL ASSET ACQUISITION CORP * Investor Deck
HYAC – HAYMAKER ACQUISITION CORP 4 * Investor Deck

THIS WEEK’S IPOs AND DEALS

SPAC IPO: ONEIM ACQUISITION CORP. (OIMAU)
Ticker: OIMAU (Units) | Size: $250 Million | Sponsor: OneIM Sponsor LLC (Affiliate of One Investment Management)

OneIM Acquisition Corp. priced its $250 million initial public offering yesterday, January 13, 2026, and is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq today. This listing represents a major 2026 debut for a vehicle backed by a global alternative investment platform. Incorporated in the Cayman Islands and headquartered in New York, the SPAC arrives with the backing of One Investment Management (OneIM), a firm managing approximately $10 billion in assets as of late 2025.

Strategy: OneIM Acquisition Corp. is a sector-agnostic vehicle, though it intends to leverage the specific cross-asset expertise of its sponsor. The mandate focuses on identifying a target with a “defensible core business” and sustainable revenues, particularly companies undergoing shifts in capital structure, strategy, or operations. The leadership intends to target businesses that can benefit from the sponsor’s global reach, which includes an operational presence in Abu Dhabi, London, Tokyo, and New York.

Leadership Team: The SPAC is managed by senior executives from the OneIM ecosystem:

  • Ioannis (Yanni) Pipilis (CEO & Director): A co-founder and Managing Partner of One Investment Management. Pipilis has an extensive background in global markets and alternative investments, previously holding leadership roles at SoftBank Investment Advisers as a Managing Partner.

  • Grigorios (Greg) Kapenis (CFO & Director): Currently serving as the CFO of One Investment Management. Kapenis brings significant experience in financial oversight and operational management within the alternative asset space.

  • Antony Sheriff (Director Nominee): A veteran of the automotive and luxury sectors, Sheriff has previously served as CEO of Princess Yachts and Managing Director of McLaren Automotive, adding significant industrial and operational depth to the board.

Structure: The offering consists of 25 million units priced at $10.00. In a structure that reflects a tighter warrant environment, each unit contains one Class A ordinary share and one-sixth (1/6) of a redeemable warrant (exercisable at $11.50). This fractional warrant structure is notable for being more restrictive than the recent 1/4 or 1/3 warrant standards, effectively reducing potential dilution for the eventual merger partner. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as the sole book-running manager for the deal.
