(Corrects reference to FlixMobility in 12th paragraph) BERLIN (Reuters) -A listed shell company promoted by venture capitalist Klaus Hommels plans to acquire travel portal HomeToGo in a deal that, if completed, would be the first of its kind to bring a company to the Frankfurt stock exchange. Hommels, founder of venture fund Lakestar, floated a branded special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, in February with the goal of enabling a tech startup to stay in Europe rather than take the well-travelled route of listing in the United States. Lakestar SPAC I raised 275 million euros ($333 million), saying it would seek to merge with a company worth between 750 million and 4 billion euros.
