LaFayette Acquisition, a Paris-based special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), has unveiled plans for a $100 million initial public offering, positioning itself to acquire a diverse slate of U.S. businesses. The blank check company confirmed Friday that Greenberg Traurig LLP will serve as its legal counsel for the high-profile deal.
According to its SEC filing, LaFayette intends to issue 10 million units at $10 apiece. Each unit will include one share of common stock and one right to receive one-tenth of a share in the future merged entity.
Leadership with Global Investment Pedigree
At the helm is Christophe Charlier, LaFayette’s CEO and chairman, best known as the former chairman of Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital. Partnering with him is Jennifer Calabrese, the company’s chief financial officer, who also serves as CFO for Athena Technology Acquisition II, another SPAC player.
Together, they bring heavyweight experience in industries spanning energy, food, agriculture, mining, telecommunications, healthcare, and technology—sectors that will shape the company’s acquisition strategy.
