Nicholas Schorsch, the former nontraded REIT czar who is both loved and hated by financial advisers who sold his products, is reentering the securities business after several years on the sidelines and is heading up a brand new SPAC, or special purpose acquisition company, that will buy leisure-focused businesses.
This month, G&P Acquisition Corp. registered a $200 million securities offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, with the intention of selling 20 million shares at $10 each. Schorsch is the chairman of the G&P SPAC, which intends to invest in leisure-oriented businesses and the craft brewing automotive and distribution sectors.
