New Providence III to combine with crypto wealth firm Abra in $750 million deal
New Providence Acquisition Corp. III, a special purpose acquisition company, signed a business combination agreement with Abra Financial Holdings, Inc., a digital asset wealth management platform. The deal would re-domicile the SPAC to Delaware and merge Abra into a SPAC subsidiary, with Abra stockholders receiving SPAC shares based on a $750 million pre-money equity value. The transaction is subject to shareholder approvals, an SEC registration statement and customary closing conditions, so it may not be completed.
Key points
- Abra's pre-money equity value is $750 million, with existing Abra stockholders rolling 100% of their interests into the combined company
- Up to $300 million of cash held in trust is expected, subject to reductions for redemptions by New Providence public shareholders
- Combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under ticker ABRX; Abra equity holders are expected to hold a majority of shares after closing
- Abra must deliver audited financials no later than 45 days after the agreement date
