Amsterdam – 29 April 2021 – Euronext today congratulates Pegasus Acquisition Company Europe B.V., the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) focused on the European financial services industry, on its listing on Euronext Amsterdam (ticker code: PACE).

Pegasus Acquisition Company Europe intends to form a partnership with a financial services company that offers strong profit growth potential, either through consolidation or organic growth that could be accelerated via a listing, access to capital, and strategic guidance. The SPAC will target either unique digital models or companies that benefit from tailwinds in the three verticals of Investment Management, Insurance and Diversified Financials, leveraging on the recognised industry expertise, deal sourcing and execution capabilities of its four sponsors.

At opening, the share price was set at €10 per share. Pegasus Acquisition Company Europe has successfully raised approximately €500 million in its initial public offering. The newly listed SPAC is sponsored by Tikehau Capital, Financière Agache, Jean Pierre Mustier and Diego De Giorgi.

Euronext Amsterdam has provided the perfect platform to achieve this goal and we look forward to working with the Euronext team and our future business combination partner to achieve long-term success as a listed company.”
