☆ Lloyd's of London SPAC venture scrapped due to volatile markets

A view shows the Lutine Bell during an event to mark accession of Britain's King Charles at the Lloyd's Building in the City of London, Britain, September 15, 2022. The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) had unveiled plans to combine with London Innovation Underwriters (LIU) and raise additional funds to deploy in the Lloyd's of London insurance market. The SPAC has an end of year deadline to use funds raised for a takeover, and said it would not seek an extension. LIU said it would consider exploring alternative options to pursue its strategy of accessing the Lloyd's of London insurance market. The failed effort comes amid a dearth of new listings in London and concerns over its appeal as a capital markets hub, despite profits at Lloyds of London which are booming thanks to rising prices for insuring commercial risks.

☆ London SPAC to test shareholder appetite for Lloyd's of London venture

The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) unveiled plans earlier this year to combine with London Innovation Underwriters and raise additional funds to deploy in the Lloyd's of London insurance market. The deal by Financials Acquisition Corp differs from a typical SPAC merger because the company has set up London Innovation Underwriters itself. It is not the first time that public market investors in London have backed a new insurance venture. In 2020, Conduit Holdings (CRE.L) listed on the London Stock Exchange, subsequently starting reinsurance activities. UBS and HSBC are joint global coordinators to the Financials Acquisition deal.

REUTERS/Hannah McKay//File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A London-listed special purpose acquisition company has moved closer to launching a vehicle designed to give investors access to the Lloyd's of London insurance market, according to a statement on Friday. Financial Acquisitions Corp said it had established London Innovation Underwriters Limited (LIU), as part of a plan to deploy funds in the historic insurance market and build a reinsurance book with up to 1 billion pounds ($1.25 billion) of capacity. The SPAC intends to combine with LIU and raise a "significant sum" of equity capital on the London Stock Exchange, the statement said, adding a further statement would be made once the combination was entered into.
