Avanti Acquisition Corp. Announces Launch of $500,000,000 Initial Public Offering

Avanti Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, today announced the commencement of its initial public offering of 50,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The Company is sponsored by Avanti Acquisition SCSp, an affiliate of NNS Group, the private family office of Nassef Sawiris and Sienna Capital, a subsidiary of Groupe Bruxelles Lambert. The Company intends to be sector agnostic and to focus on European family owned or founder led businesses with a US nexus. The units are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and trade under the ticker symbol “AVAN.U”. Each unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant may be exercised for one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole warrants are exercisable. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the shares of Class A common stock and warrants are expected to be listed on the NYSE under the symbols “AVAN” and “AVAN WS,” respectively.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are serving as the joint book-running managers for the offering. The Company intends to grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 7,500,000 units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
