Tech SPAC Roman DBDR Acquisition II prices $200 million IPO

December 13, 2024

Roman DBDR Acquisition II, a blank check company targeting cybersecurity, AI, and fintech, raised $200 million by offering 20 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50.

The company is led by CEO and Chairman Dixon Doll Jr., the Managing Director of Longstreet Ventures, and CFO John Small, CFO of AI Advertising (OTC: AIAD) and BigWattDigital. The company plans to target cybersecurity, AI, and fintech.

The team previously ran Roman DBDR Tech Acquisition, which merged with custom card manufacturer CompoSecure (Nasdaq: CMPO; +67% from $10 offer price) in December 2021. They had also filed to list two more SPACs, Roman DBDR Tech Acquisition II, and Roman DBDR Tech Acquisition III, before both listings were declared abandoned by the SEC in early 2023.

Roman DBDR Acquisition II plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol DRDBU. B. Riley Securities acted as sole bookrunner on the deal.
