Spotify Rival to go Public via SPAC merger with I2PO

French streaming provider Deezer is said to be nearing a deal to go public via a merger with I2PO (I2PO), a European SPAC backed by France’s Pinault family, controlling shareholder of Gucci-owner Kering, and Centerview Partners banker Matthieu Pigasse. The company, a rival to Spotify Technology SA (SPOT), claims 16 million active users and is available in more than 180 countries. This is the second time the company is back at the deal table since it was founded in 2007. Deezer previously scrapped IPO plans after a decline in active listeners at internet radio operator Pandora Media Inc. triggered concerns about the outlook for streaming services. Pandora was subsequently acquired by Sirius in 2018 for $3 billion.
