Overview
Company Summary
Maquia Capital Acquisition Corporation (MAQC) is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that focuses on merging with or acquiring another operating company. SPACs like MAQC are formed with the sole purpose of raising capital through an initial public offering (IPO) to acquire an existing company.
As a SPAC, MAQC does not have any business operations of its own. Instead, it pools investors' capital to form a publicly traded shell company. The funds raised through the IPO are held in a trust account until a suitable target company is identified to be acquired, typically within a specified timeframe of two years.
Once a target company is identified, MAQC enters into a merger or acquisition agreement, using the funds from its trust account to help finance the transaction. This allows the target company to enter the public markets and access capital quickly, bypassing the traditional IPO process.
MAQC generally focuses on identifying opportunities in the technology, media, telecom, and sustainability industries, but specific target industries and criteria vary from SPAC to SPAC.
In summary, MAQC exists to raise capital through an IPO and then use those funds to merge with or acquire a target company, enabling the target company to become publicly traded.
