DESCRIPTION

SilverBox Corp V is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) formed to identify and merge with a private operating business, taking it public. SilverBox Corp V raised $276M in its December 2025 IPO and has 24 months to complete an initial business combination (IBC). Until a deal closes, the IPO proceeds sit in a Trust Account invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds. Public shareholders who disapprove of a deal can redeem shares for their pro-rata share of the trust (initially $10.00 per share), and if no deal is completed within 24 months, the company liquidates and returns trust funds to shareholders. The business model centers on the sponsor's founder share structure: the sponsor paid $25,000 for 6.9M Class B shares that convert to roughly 20% of the combined company's equity upon a successful IBC — a standard SPAC promote. The sponsor also purchased $1.95M in private placement units alongside the IPO, which carry no redemption rights. SilverBox Corp V targets businesses with enterprise values above $750M across a broad range of sectors including consumer, financial services, software, business services, industrial technology, and energy transition. Management points to a track record of four prior SPACs, including mergers with Atlas Technical Consultants and Black Rifle Coffee Company. A notable conflict of interest exists, as management simultaneously operates SilverBox Corp IV, which is actively pursuing its own IBC, meaning deal opportunities and management attention are shared across both vehicles.
