Kartoon Studios files for proposed $300 million SPAC IPO led by company executives
Kartoon Studios said its sponsored subsidiary, Kartoon Studios Acquisition Corp. (KSAC), filed a Form S-1 registration statement for a proposed $300 million initial public offering of units. The registration statement has not yet become effective, and the units cannot be sold until it does. KSAC intends to pursue media and entertainment business combinations, and the company said there is no assurance the filing will result in any transaction.
Key points
- Proposed offering of 30,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, for gross proceeds of $300.0 million, plus an underwriter option for up to an additional 15% of units
- Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one redeemable warrant; KSAC intends to list the units on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol 'KACQ U'
- E.F. Hutton & Co. is sole underwriter and book-running manager; Kartoon owns 100% of the sponsor, Toon Acquisition LLC
- Andy Heyward, Brian Parisi and Michael Jaffa will lead KSAC, and the filing was announced on November 5, 2026
