Self-driving tech company May Mobility has reached a deal to go public via a merger with a **** affiliated with Atlas Credit Partners.
Why it matters: The deal is a test of public-market appetite for autonomous vehicle companies, with May pitching investors on a relatively capital-light alternative to the fleet-owning robotaxi model.
Driving the news: The transaction with ACP Holdings Acquisition Corp. implies a $1.4 billion pro forma enterprise value and could provide the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based AV startup with up to $337 million in gross proceeds.
That includes $217 million from the **** 's trust, **** uming no redemptions, plus a $120 million fully committed from private investors through a so-called PIPE financing.
An Atlas Credit Partners affiliate is co-anchoring the PIPE.
