We are a newly organized blank check company incorporated in June 2025 as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands and were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, consolidation, capital stock exchange, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with respect to identifying any business combination target. We are led by the team that organized M III Acquisition Corp. (the “Initial SPAC”), M3-Brigade Acquisition II Corp. (the “Second SPAC”), M3-Brigade Acquisition III Corp. (the “Third SPAC”), M3-Brigade Acquisition IV Corp. (the “Fourth SPAC”), M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp. (the “Fifth SPAC”) and BM3EAC Corp. (the “EuroSPAC”). Members of our team managed the Initial SPAC through an initial business combination in March 2018 to create Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (“IEA”) (NASDAQ: IEA). IEA was a leading engineering, procurement and construction company which specializes in renewable energy infrastructure which was acquired by MasTec Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) on October 7, 2022 at a valuation of $1.1 billion. The Third SPAC (NYSE: GFR) completed its initial business combination with Greenfire Resources (“Greenfire”) (NYSE: GFR) in September 2023 in a transaction which valued Greenfire at $950 million. The Second SPAC was liquidated in accordance with the terms of its charter in December 2023 and the sponsors of the Fourth SPAC elected not to pursue its initial public offering and withdrew its registration statement in March 2022. The sponsor of the Fifth SPAC elected to sell its interest in the Fifth SPAC to an unaffiliated third party. Messrs. Meghji and Perkal, who currently serve on our board of directors, and Mr. Fader Rattner, who is our director nominee, continue to serve on the board of directors of the Fifth SPAC in an individual capacity. Although the teams at M3 Partners and Brigade continue to provide certain de minimis administrative services on a transitional basis to the Fifth SPAC, they do not provide support in its search for an initial business combination target. The team that organized our sponsor also organized the EuroSPAC, incorporated in the Cayman Islands and listed on Euronext Amsterdam, which is currently seeking to effect a business combination with an operating company with significant operations in Europe. The Initial SPAC, the Second SPAC, the Third SPAC, the Fourth SPAC, the Fifth SPAC and the EuroSPAC are collectively referred to herein as the “Prior SPACs”. We were formed by executives of M3 Partners and Brigade, but are not owned or controlled by M3 Partners or Brigade and are independent of both such companies. M3 Partners is a leading financial advisory firm which provides advisory services to companies at inflection points in their growth trajectories. Brigade is a leading global investment advisor that was founded in 2006 to specialize in credit-focused investment strategies and has approximately $28.7 billion in assets under management as of June 1, 2025. M3 Partners and Brigade will provide support to us in our pursuit of a successful initial business combination at the direction of their respective principals, but neither M3 Partners nor Brigade has entered into any agreement with us and they will not be paid any consideration for their support. The team at M3 Partners has successfully completed hundreds of engagements in which it has assisted stockholders, creditors and companies in maximizing the value of businesses and assets held by them. Brigade brings a 19-year track record of deep fundamental credit research driven by a disciplined investment process which has been proven over numerous market cycles. Our executive offices are located in New York, NY.
