Aperture AC signs $150 million merger deal with data center firm Atlantic HPC Group
On September 10, 2026, Aperture AC, a Cayman Islands SPAC, signed a Business Combination Agreement with Atlantic HPC Group Inc. Atlantic stockholders would receive SPAC common stock worth $150 million at $10.00 per share, plus up to 6,000,000 earnout shares tied to share price targets and a data center lease. The deal requires approval from both sets of shareholders, and Aperture public shareholders would be able to request redemption of their shares.
