About Ashington Innovation

SPAC

We are a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE:ASHI) with a dual listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (6FW:FRA). We pride ourselves on our ability to generate new business, even in tough economic conditions.

Strategy

Our business strategy and business model depend on the successful completion of any acquisition, and on the effective and successful running of the companies or businesses acquired.

Technology focused

We look to raise capital to fund the acquisition of companies or businesses in the technology sector with a special focus on deep technology and financial services technology sectors.

Mission

We are dependent on our directors identifying suitable acquisition opportunities, and it is the Company’s intention for any acquisition to involve the Company acquiring only a single company or business at any one time.

Our Company Approach

We intend to conduct appropriate, practicable and focused due diligence in respect of any acquisitions, with the objective of identifying any material issues that may affect the decision to proceed with that acquisition.

We also intend to use information revealed during the due diligence process to formulate the business and operational planning of the enlarged business.

The Company considers that being listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange is attractive both to investors and to the vendors of potential target companies or businesses. The London Stock Exchange provides access to a deep and diverse international pool of capital. As Ashington is seeking a business combination with a Company that has significant growth potential, the Company’s management believes that the accelerated access to the London Stock Exchange’s deep capital markets that our SPAC facilitates will prove attractive to prospective target firms.
