D and Z Media Acquisition Priced, NYSE: DNZ.U

Blank check company led by former NYSE/ICE executive Betty Liu targeting media and edtech businesses (liquidated).

Industry: SPAC

First Day Return: +2.8%

We are a newly organized blank check company. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any industry or sector, we intend to focus on companies related to media, education technology ("ed-tech"), and other related industries. Our founders and the initial investors in our sponsor have significant knowledge of these industries, and we believe that a business operating within one of these sectors would benefit from their experience and operational expertise. Our seasoned management team, led by Betty Liu (Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer) and Mark Wiltamuth (Chief Financial Officer), has held senior operational and leadership roles within public and private companies, served as principals and advisors on multiple M&A transactions, and has developed extensive networks within the sectors that are directly relevant to DNZ’s acquisition thesis. We believe the unique and differentiated expertise of our founders will make us an attractive partner to potential target businesses, enhance our ability to complete a successful business combination, and bring long-term value to the business following its initial business combination.
