Brookline Capital Acquisition, a blank check company formed by Brookline Capital Markets targeting a life science business, filed on Friday with the SEC to raise up to $50 million in an initial public offering.
The New York, NY-based company plans to raise $50 million by offering 5 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50. At the proposed price, Brookline Capital Acquisition would command a market value of $64 million.
