Space2

Space2 is the second Italian registered SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) listed on the regulated MIV (Investment Vehicles Market)/Professional segment organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A..

The Euro 300 million capital raised by Space2 will be deployed - within approximately 24 months - for a merger with a Target Company which on the conclusion of the process will automatically be listed on the Stock Exchange. The objective of Space2 SpA is therefore to identify a company representative of Italian entrepreneurial excellence and interested in opening up its ownership to institutional investors through listing on a regulated stock market.

Space2 is the second SPAC promoted by Space Holding S.r.l., an investment Company whose shareholders are Sergio Erede, Roberto Italia, Gianni Mion, Carlo Pagliani, Edoardo Subert, Alfredo Ambrosio and Elisabetta De Bernardi. In 2013 Space Holding incorporated Space S.p.A., the first Italian registered SPAC listed on the MIV, which identified F.I.L.A. - a world leader in the production and sale of colouring, drawing, modelling, writing and painting tools, principally for school and pre-school age children - as the target Company for its Business Combination.
