The original Forum Merger went public in April 2017 and merged with IT services provider ConvergeOne (CVON) in February 2018, which was acquired by CVC Capital Partners in January 2019 for $12.50 per share.

Forum Merger III plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol FIIIU. Jefferies acted as lead manager on the deal.
