NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Software Acquisition Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAQNU) (the “Company”) announced today that it closed its initial public offering of 14,950,000 units, including 1,950,000 units issued pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in full. The offering was priced at $10.00 per unit, resulting in gross proceeds of $149,500,000.
While the Company may pursue an initial business combination target in any business or industry, it intends to focus its search on software companies, especially those targeting enterprise vertical sectors owned by private equity and venture capital firms as well as corporate carve-outs.
