Last Updated:
Sports Properties Acquisition Corp. filed to sell 20 million units at the traditional $10.00 per unit, and the company is granting an overallotment allowance of 3 million more shares. Sports Properties is taking the proposed ticker "HMR" on the American Stock Exchange and so far lists only Banc of America Securities as the lead underwriter.
The company is a SPAC, a special purpose acquisition company, so it has no existing operations. This was formed to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction, joint venture or other similar business combination, one or more domestic or international operating businesses. It intends to focus efforts on companies that create, produce, deliver, distribute, market content, products and services pertaining to the sports, leisure or entertainment industries.
Here is tha management team:
A unit consists of 1 common share and 1 warrant with a $7.50 strike price per unit. Maybe investors will get to own another public sports team since these have essentially all gone private. Prior public sports teams were the Cleveland Indians and Boston Celtics, and the Green Bay Packers are one of the community owned and quasi-public companies (that you can’t buy a share in easily).
