Summary
The Company, Aquila Acquisition Corporation, is a newly incorporated Cayman Islands exempted company. It is a special purpose acquisition company and has been formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination (“De-SPAC Transaction”) with one or more businesses (“De-SPAC Targets”). In identifying our De-SPAC Targets, we intend to concentrate our efforts on technology-enabled companies in new economy sectors (such as green energy, life sciences and advanced technology and manufacturing) in Asia, with a focus on China, although we may pursue a De-SPAC Target in any sector.

OUR PROMOTERS

Our Promoters are CMB International Asset Management Limited (“CMBI AM”), Mr. Rongfeng JIANG, Mr. Yao LING, Ms. Di LE and Ms. Qian WU (together, the “Individual Promoters”). Mr. Jiang, Mr. Ling and Ms. Le are Executive Directors and senior management of the Company, and Ms. Wu is a Non-Executive Director of the Company. All of the Individual Promoters are currently employees of CMB International Capital Corporation Limited (“CMBI”). CMBI AM holds 90% and the Individual Promoters, through AAC Mgmt Holding Ltd (“AAC Mgmt Holding”), their wholly-owned company, hold 10% of the issued shares of CMBI AM Acquisition Holding LLC (“CMBI AM Acquisition”), which in turn holds all of the Class B Shares in issue.

Our Promoters’ parent company, CMBI, has invested in over 150 companies across various new economy sectors since its inception in 2014. Examples of high profile IPOs of CMBI’s new economy portfolio companies include Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (SZ: 300750) on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2018, Meituan Dianping (HK: 03690) on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in 2018, and Burning Rock (NASDAQ: BNR) on the NASDAQ Global Market in 2020. We believe that our ability to leverage, among others, CMBI’s global network, long-standing relationships with investors and business partners, and proven sourcing capabilities in various industries will provide us with an advantage in building a robust and distinctive pipeline of attractive De-SPAC Targets. See “Business – Relationship of our Promoters with CMB and CMBI”.
