VinFast's $27 Billion SPAC Merger Takes EV Maker Public in the US
Vietnamese automaker VinFast plans to go public via a SPAC merger with Black Spade Acquisition Co, valuing the company at $27 billion with an equity value of $23 billion. The merger is expected to close in the second half of 2023. VinFast may offer up to $50 million worth of "free bonus" ordinary shares to employees if certain conditions are met. The move is seen as a way for VinFast to raise capital for its global expansion ambitions.
