Overview

  • IQM will merge with Nasdaq-listed Real Asset Acquisition Corp, with American Depositary Shares expected to trade on a major U.S. exchange.
  • The company cites potential proceeds of more than $300 million assuming no redemptions, while other reports project cash available to exceed $450 million including PIPE financing.
