Patria Latin American Opportunity Acquisition Corp (PLAO) is a special purpose acquisition company that offers an unique path for a company to access the public markets while benefiting from the operational and industry expertise of our sponsor, Patria SPAC LLC, a subsidiary from Patria Investments Ltd (“Patria”). PLG is the first SPAC vehicle fully supported by Patria, a leading global alternative asset manager. Given Patria’s investment capabilities and the expectation that our company will leverage on Patria’s capabilities, we believe our team has the required investment, operational, due diligence and capital raising resources to effect a business combination with an attractive target and to position it for long-term success in the public markets.
Our team has a history of executing transactions in multiple geographies and under varying economic and financial market conditions. Although we may pursue an acquisition in a number of industries or geographies, we intend to capitalize on the broader Patria platform where we believe a combination of our relationships, knowledge and experience across industries can effect a positive transformation of an existing business.
While we may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry or sector, geography, or stage, we intend to focus our search in Latin America and in sectors where Patria has developed investment expertise (including but not limited to healthcare, food and beverage, logistics, agribusiness, education, and financial services). We will pursue an initial business combination with an established business with scale, attractive growth prospects, high-quality shareholders and management, and sustainable competitive advantages. We believe there is a large number of attractive businesses that would benefit from a public listing as well as from the operational and value creation expertise we bring.
