Trine Acquisition
A newly incorporated special purpose acquisition company
About Us
Trine Acquisition Corp is a newly incorporated special purpose acquisition company formed as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we may pursue an initial business combination in any sector, we intend to focus our efforts on businesses in the broader media & communications industry, where we believe our management team and co-founders’ expertise will provide us with a competitive advantage. We are sponsored by Trine Sponsor IH LLC, which is primarily owned by entities controlled by our Chairman & CEO, Leo Hindery, Jr., and our co-sponsor, HPS.
Our executives have proven track records in identifying undervalued companies and cultivating strategies to maximize their operating results and market potential, thereby generating value for stockholders. Our management team is led by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Leo Hindery, Jr., our President, Ian Gilchrist and our Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Mark J. Coleman, and our Chief Financial Officer, Pierre M. Henry.
Messrs. Hindery, Gilchrist, Coleman and Henry have over ninety years of collective experience evaluating transactions, investing capital, and leading operations at some of the world’s foremost media and communications companies. By applying tried-and-true strategies across cost management, production innovation, the reinvestment of earnings and the hiring of exceptional managers, they have demonstrated their value creation skills. They have known each other and worked with one another successfully and repeatedly for over thirty years.
We are joining forces with HPS, which is a member of our sponsor. HPS is a global credit investment firm with approximately $60 billion of assets under management. HPS was founded in 2007 and manages various strategies that invest across the capital structure, from syndicated leveraged loans and high yield bonds to privately-negotiated senior secured debt and mezzanine investments, asset-based leasing and private equity. The scale and breadth of HPS’s platform offers its clients the flexibility to invest in companies large and small, through standard or customized solutions. HPS is headquartered in New York with ten additional offices worldwide and, as of October 1, 2018, has approximately 123 investment professionals and over 310+ employees globally. HPS is led by Chief Executive Officer Scott Kapnick, who prior to joining HPS, served as a Management Committee member, Co-Head of Global Investment Banking and member of the Principal Investment Area Investment Committee at the Goldman Sachs Group. HPS will be represented on our Board of Directors by Tom Wasserman, who heads the technology, media and telecommunications (“TMT”) growth equity group at HPS and has over 17 years of TMT investing experience. We believe that we will benefit from HPS’s expansive and diverse capabilities.
