Yorkville International is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that intends to acquire or merge with an operating business. The company has no revenue or existing operations and seeks to use its IPO proceeds to complete an initial business combination within a 24-month window. Yorkville International focuses its search on businesses in Latin America and Venezuela, specifically targeting the energy, mining, infrastructure, and industrials sectors. The company argues that these markets are underserved by traditional capital sources despite large reserves of oil, lithium, and niobium. The business model utilizes a promote structure where the sponsor, Yorkville International Capital Sponsor, receives founder shares for a nominal fee that convert to ordinary shares upon the completion of a deal. This structure provides the sponsor and management with significant equity value if a transaction closes, regardless of the outcome for public shareholders. Management and advisors provide expertise in emerging market energy banking and hedge fund finance. Yorkville International acknowledges potential conflicts of interest because its leadership team simultaneously manages several other active SPAC vehicles.
