Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII

Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII is a blank check company, or special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The company's business model is to raise capital through an initial public offering and use the proceeds to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more private businesses, effectively taking them public. While the company retains the flexibility to pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business or industry, it primarily focuses its search on the industrial technology and energy transition sectors. Specifically, it targets businesses with an expected aggregate enterprise value of $500 million or greater. As a pre-deal SPAC, the company currently has no active business operations and generates no operating revenue. Its only income is derived from interest earned on the proceeds of its initial public offering, which are held in a trust account until a business combination is completed or the company liquidates.
