VinFast secures $23-27B valuation through SPAC merger for US IPO.

VinFast, the Vietnam-based electric vehicle manufacturer, will merge with publicly listed Black Spade Acquisition Co. to go public through a stock offering in the U.S. The deal values VinFast at $27 billion, and current shareholders will own 99% of the combined company. Black Spade is a "blank check" company that raised $169 million in its own U.S. IPO in 2021. The merger will enable VinFast to access public markets more quickly than a standard IPO. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2023, and VinFast recently secured additional capital commitments in Vietnam to fund expansion and building a U.S. factory.
