Seaport Global Asset Management's SPAC Seaport Global Acquisition II files for a $125 million IPO

November 1, 2021

Seaport Global Acquisition II, a blank check company formed by Seaport Global targeting reorganized or distressed businesses, filed on Monday with the SEC to raise up to $125 million in an initial public offering.

The New York, NY-based company plans to raise $125 million by offering 12.5 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50. At the proposed deal size, Seaport Global Acquisition II would command a market value of $156 million.

The company is led by CEO and Chairman Stephen Smith, founder of The Seaport Group and founder and CEO of SGAM. Seaport Global Acquisition II plans to target companies undergoing transformational, transitional, or reorganizational (TTR) business strategies, focusing on those with enterprise values between $300 million and $1 billion.

Management's previous SPAC, Seaport Global Acquisition, combined with movie rental business Redbox (RDBX; +41% from $10 offer price) this past October.

Seaport Global Acquisition II was founded in 2021 and plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol SGIIU. B. Riley Securities is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
