NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.
, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: BACCU) announced today the closing of its initial public offering of 20,125,000 units, which includes 2,625,000 units issued pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The offering was priced at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $201,250,000.
The Company's units began trading on June 13, 2025 on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") under the ticker symbol "BACCU." Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one right (the "Share Right") to receive one tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share of the Company upon the consummation of an initial business combination.

Of the proceeds received from the consummation of the initial public offering (including the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters) and a simultaneous private placement of units, $201,250,000 (or $10.00 per unit sold in the offering) was placed in a trust account of the Company.
The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Although the Company may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry, it intends to focus on identifying a business combination target within a manufacturing company or data center that aligns with green energy initiatives and sustainable industrial practices, as well as software development in emerging technologies like AI, Cybersecurity and energy management.
The Company's management team is led by Ketan Seth, its Chief Executive Officer and a director, and David Bauer, its Chief Financial Officer and a director. In addition, the Board includes General (Ret.) Wesley Clark, Dino Dario Ferrari, DR. Kenneth Moritsugu, and Nadim Qureshi.
