August 13, 2025

Viking Acquisition I, a blank check company led by executives from advisory firm KingsRock, filed on Wednesday with the SEC to raise up to $200 million in an initial public offering.

The company plans to raise $200 million by offering 20 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-third of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50.

Viking Acquisition I is led by CEO and Director Håkan Wohlin and Chairman Louis Jaffe, the co-founders and Managing Partners of KingsRock, a financial services advisory firm that specializes in structurally complex situations. While it has not selected a target industry or geography, the SPAC plans to focus on companies with capable management teams that are sourced through its proprietary channels, among other characteristics.

The New York, NY-based company was founded in 2025 and plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol VACIU. Cohen & Company Securities is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
