Empeiria Acquisition Corp., a newly formed blank check company focused on the energy, transportation, food and industrial sectors, raised $60 million on Wednesday by offering 6 million units at $10. It had originally filed to sell 10 million units before downsizing the number of units to be sold to 7.5 million in a subsequent SEC filing. Empeiria Acquisition Corp. plans to list on the OTC BB under the symbol EPAQ-U. Cohen & Company Securities acted as lead manager on the deal.
