We intend to focus our search for a target technology business in the consumer internet, enterprise software, fintech, digital health, proptech, gaming, agtech, and logistics industries, but may also pursue acquisition opportunities in any business industry or sector which complements our management team’s operating experience.

We listed on the NASDAQ in March 2021 and raised $250 million, our ticker symbol is FTPAU
We are a newly formed blank check company. We currently intend to concentrate our efforts on identifying technology and financial services technology, or fintech, companies that power transformation and innovation. Our expertise lends itself well to pursuing platforms related to the financial services, real estate, insurance, ecommerce and related technology infrastructure sectors, but we are not required to complete our initial business combination with a business in these industries and, as a result, we may pursue a business combination outside of these industries. We expect to pursue global businesses but may also acquire a domestic company. We do not intend to acquire companies that have speculative business plans or are excessively leveraged.
We believe our management team has the skills and experience to identify, evaluate and consummate a business combination and is positioned to assist businesses we acquire. However, our management team’s network and investing and operating experience do not guarantee a successful initial business combination.

We listed on the NASDAQ in March 2021 and raised $230 million, our ticker symbol is FRONU
We are a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination. We have not identified any potential business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
Our objective is to identify, acquire, and operate a business to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders by effecting a business combination with a target company that is rapidly growing and ready for public market ownership. While we may pursue an initial business combination opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographic area, we intend to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify promising opportunities at the intersection of the healthcare and technology industries, specifically within the biotechnology sector.
We listed on the NYSE in March 2021 and raised $300 million, our ticker symbol is ESM.U
ESM Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company seeking to benefit from the global transition towards a low carbon economy. The ESM leadership team’s expertise and experience in the mining and natural resources sectors provides us with a competitive advantage in potentially finding an attractive target that explores for, mines, processes and/or refines commodities that are critical in order to achieve de-carbonization.
Market Opportunity
The growing impact of climate change has created an ever-increasing sense of urgency among governments, corporations and communities to reduce global carbon emissions, which are reflected in the 2016 Paris Agreement. We believe that government regulation and a global consensus around the need to reduce CO2 emissions will necessitate wide-ranging changes in the generation, storage and use of energy, which has the potential to result in structural changes to many segments of the global economy.
We believe demand for the key raw materials and commodities that will enable this shift to a low carbon economy is set to increase dramatically. As an example, the World Bank expects that new energy technologies will result in meaningful demand growth over the next three decades for key base metals, including aluminum (+9%), copper (+7%) and nickel (+99%). In addition, the World Bank has estimated global demand for certain key inputs in electric vehicle (“EV”) batteries will increase dramatically over the next three decades, including graphite (+494%), lithium (+488%) and cobalt (+460%).*
We believe a rapid increase in expected demand for these key raw materials and commodities can create highly attractive economic opportunities because the supply of many of these products tends to be inelastic and mining majors have broadly curtailed capital investment since 2012. In particular, the mining and other processes required to turn these raw materials and commodities into usable form can be highly capital intensive and involve long lead-times for permitting and development. For example, new mining projects can take 10 or more years from identification of a resource to commission. As such, we believe many of these key raw materials and commodities are well-positioned to benefit from the favorable price dynamics that often accompany structural supply-deficit scenarios.

We believe our Team’s extensive background in acquiring businesses and assets across the energy value chain and creating long-term shareholder value, combined with historical low crude oil and natural gas prices and resulting lack of capital availability for energy companies and assets, will provide an opportunity to execute a potentially transformational business combination.

We are a blank check company. Our initial strategy is to identify a business combination target within the Middle East, North Africa (MENA) or South & Southeast Asian regions.

We are a newly formed blank check company. We currently intend to concentrate our efforts on identifying technology and financial services technology, or fintech, companies that power transformation and innovation. Our expertise lends itself well to pursuing platforms related to the financial services, real estate, insurance, ecommerce and related technology infrastructure sectors, but we are not required to complete our initial business combination with a business in these industries and, as a result, we may pursue a business combination outside of these industries. We expect to pursue global businesses but may also acquire a domestic company. We do not intend to acquire companies that have speculative business plans or are excessively leveraged.
We believe our management team has the skills and experience to identify, evaluate and consummate a business combination and is positioned to assist businesses we acquire. However, our management team’s network and investing and operating experience do not guarantee a successful initial business combination.

We listed on the NYSE in March 2021 and raised $300 million, our ticker symbol is ESM.U
ESM Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company seeking to benefit from the global transition towards a low carbon economy. The ESM leadership team’s expertise and experience in the mining and natural resources sectors provides us with a competitive advantage in potentially finding an attractive target that explores for, mines, processes and/or refines commodities that are critical in order to achieve de-carbonization.
Market Opportunity
The growing impact of climate change has created an ever-increasing sense of urgency among governments, corporations and communities to reduce global carbon emissions, which are reflected in the 2016 Paris Agreement. We believe that government regulation and a global consensus around the need to reduce CO2 emissions will necessitate wide-ranging changes in the generation, storage and use of energy, which has the potential to result in structural changes to many segments of the global economy.
We believe demand for the key raw materials and commodities that will enable this shift to a low carbon economy is set to increase dramatically. As an example, the World Bank expects that new energy technologies will result in meaningful demand growth over the next three decades for key base metals, including aluminum (+9%), copper (+7%) and nickel (+99%). In addition, the World Bank has estimated global demand for certain key inputs in electric vehicle (“EV”) batteries will increase dramatically over the next three decades, including graphite (+494%), lithium (+488%) and cobalt (+460%).*
We believe a rapid increase in expected demand for these key raw materials and commodities can create highly attractive economic opportunities because the supply of many of these products tends to be inelastic and mining majors have broadly curtailed capital investment since 2012. In particular, the mining and other processes required to turn these raw materials and commodities into usable form can be highly capital intensive and involve long lead-times for permitting and development. For example, new mining projects can take 10 or more years from identification of a resource to commission. As such, we believe many of these key raw materials and commodities are well-positioned to benefit from the favorable price dynamics that often accompany structural supply-deficit scenarios.

We listed on the NYSE in February 2021 and raised $287 million, our ticker symbol is FLME.U
We are a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
Although we may pursue our initial business combination in any business, industry or geographic location, we currently intend to focus on opportunities that capitalize on the expertise and ability of our management team, particularly our President and Chief Executive Officer, James C. Flores, to identify, acquire and operate a business in the energy industry, primarily targeting the upstream exploration and production (“E&P”) sector, midstream sector and companies focused on new advancing technologies that are transformative and provide the potential for and means to achieve greater profitability in the broader energy sector. We believe our Team’s extensive background in acquiring businesses and assets across the energy value chain and creating long-term shareholder value, combined with historical low crude oil and natural gas prices and resulting lack of capital availability for energy companies and assets, will provide an opportunity to execute a potentially transformational business combination.
