Financial industry veteran's second SPAC Rocket Global Acquisition files for a $100 million IPO

March 3, 2021

Rocket Global Acquisition, the second blank check company formed by the Managing Partner of Broadband Capital Partners, filed on Wednesday with the SEC to raise up to $100 million in an initial public offering.

The New York, NY-based company plans to raise $100 million by offering 10 million shares at $10. Unlike most SPACs, warrants will not be attached to the common shares. At the proposed deal size, Rocket Global Acquisition will command a market value of $125 million.

The company is led by CEO, CFO, and Chairman Philip Wagenheim, who serves as Managing Partner of Broadband Capital Partners and previously co-founded Broadband Capital Management in 2000. Wagenheim's other SPAC, Just Another Acquisition (JAAC), filed in February to raise $60 million. Rocket Global Acquisition intends to target businesses with enterprise values of $500 million to $2.5 billion.
 
Rocket Global Acquisition was founded in 2021 and plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol RGAC. Ladenburg Thalmann is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
