New York, NY, Nov. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BMKP Technology Co Ltd. (“BMKP” or “the Company”), a Chinese Electric Vehicle ride-hailing service provider that has been selected as Chinese Internet Unicorn Companies for four consecutive years, is considering going public through a merger with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (“SPAC”).

BMKP is one of the few top service providers with 252 ride-hailing service licenses in China. The company is headquartered in Wuhan, a central city in China, and its business segments include intra-city and inter-city ride-hailing. The company is planning to further penetrating markets in lower-tier and underserved cities.

As of November 22, 2021, 555 SPAC IPOs have been completed and more than US$150.8 billion in funds have been raised which breaks all previous records.
Throughout 2020, the U.S. stock market has completed a total of 237 SPAC IPO projects, raising a record amount of US$83.3 billion.
Some well known SPAC mergers include the global fast-food brand "Burger King", the well-established entertainment magazine "Playboy", the private aerospace company "Virgin Galactic", the first hydrogen energy listed company "Nikola", and the EV company "Faraday Future".
SPAC is a special financial instrument in the U.S. capital market, commonly known as "Blank-Check Companies". SPAC is essentially a listed private equity fund. The founder first sets up a company and submits an initial public offering prospectus. Once the company goes public through IPO financing, it will find target companies to merge with within 9 to 24 months. Most SPACs will get listed on the Nasdaq, but there are also some listed on NYSE as well.
