We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business, focusing on the defense and aerospace industries. Our management team believes there is a backlog of companies that are interested in becoming public companies. We believe that because this backlog is substantial, there may be a number of attractive companies that will not be able to list via a traditional IPO in the near-term, and therefore may opt to pursue a listing via a SPAC instead. Moreover, we believe current market conditions are causing middle-market financial sponsors and venture capital firms to consider alternative methods for providing liquidity to their limited partners. We believe the defense and aerospace sectors present attractive opportunities for us. Specifically, many companies in these sectors are either mid-stage growth assets or mature assets generating positive cash flow. In addition to these fundamentals, the sectors contain a large number of privately-held businesses that we believe could benefit from our management’s experience with other companies of accelerating revenue growth, expanding margins and improving capital allocation decision-making. In addition to privately held middle market businesses, we believe many larger companies in the defense sector are in the process of evaluating their portfolios of businesses and reviewing candidates for potential divestitures, which we believe may also prove to be attractive business combination targets. Our Chief Executive Officer, Menachem Shalom, also has significant experience in corporate carve-outs. Our executive offices are located New York, NY.Read More… Receive KCHVU Stock News and Ratings via Email Sign-up to receive the latest news and ratings for Kochav Defense Acquisition and its competitors with MarketBeat's FREE daily newsletter.
