The newest cannabis SPAC (special purpose acquisition corp.) Canna-Global Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: CNGLU) priced its initial public offering of $200 million and began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on Tuesday using the ticker symbol “CNGLU”. The SPAC said it has not selected a business combination target or spoken to any companies about becoming the qualifying transaction. It did say in a statement that it will target a business addressing a large market opportunity with a company that is driving its growth in the medicinal cannabis or cannabinoid industry but only in a federally legal market.

The company is led by its Chief Executive Officer, J. Gerald (“Gerry”) Combs. Combs also serves as the CEO of CASH International Asset Management Ltd., a Hong Kong-headquartered asset management business. The SPAC’s chief financial officer is George Koi Ming Yap, who also runs the Sydney, Australia-based financial consulting firm KMYG Global. However, the company did state in its filing its plans to avoid targeting any businesses in Hong Kong or China.
