Trine II Acquisition Corp
A newly incorporated special purpose acquisition company
About Us
We are a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us.
Trine II Acquisition Corp. is led by Leo Hindery, Jr. and Pierre M. Henry, who co-founded Trine I in September 2018. Trine II is the second SPAC in the Trine franchise. The two share a vision of becoming long-term partners with category leading TMT management teams in order to help them realize increased scale and differentiation in public markets. Trine II’s focus is again centered on partnering with innovative and disruptive TMT companies based in North America and Europe, having successfully closed a business combination between Trine I and Desktop Metal on December 9, 2020.
At Trine II, we believe that our long-term relationships with some of the world’s leading entrepreneurs, private equity firms, venture capitalists, growth equity fund managers and investment banks give us a durable competitive advantage to both source and prosecute proprietary deal flow. Our track record of success in the SPAC space clearly demonstrates our ability to generate top decile returns on invested capital and to benefit public market investors by creating value through a differentiated acquisition strategy.
Our management team has a history of success generating compounding returns on equity in both private and public markets outside of the SPAC space. In 1997, Mr. Hindery was named President and Chief Executive Officer of TCI, then, along with its affiliate Liberty Media, the world’s largest combined cable television system operator and programming entity and a Fortune 250 company. After executing over 100 transactions for TCI and its affiliated companies and substantially growing operating cash flow, TCI’s market value increased nearly 400% under Mr. Hindery’s leadership, culminating in the $52 billion sale of TCI to AT&T, which was announced in June 1998 and closed in March 1999. Mr. Hindery successfully led the post-merger integration of TCI into AT&T and became CEO of AT&T Broadband, architecting the long-distance giant’s $120-billion strategic bet on cable.
Subsequent to AT&T Broadband, Mr. Hindery became CEO of internet services giant GlobalCenter, where he implemented an operational turnaround and sold the company to Exodus Communications in just 10 months for a premium of $6.1 billion. Subsequent to GlobalCenter, Mr. Hindery co-founded The YES Network, now the most valuable regional sports network in the country. Mr. Hindery scaled this proprietarily sourced investment from inception into the most popular regional sports network in the country, resulting in over 5x return on invested capital and over 25% gross IRR (approximately $1.8 billion value at sale).
Mr. Hindery has created enormous value as an investor, alongside being an operator, having served as Managing Partner of InterMedia Partners. InterMedia Partners was the world’s first private equity firm specializing in disruptive media and communications investing, and its first six funds realized nearly $2 billion in proceeds, representing a weighted-average, net IRR of over 44%. InterMedia was an early pioneer in SPAC investments, creating HMTV in 2013, the only publicly traded pure-play U.S. media company, which targeted the high growth U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets by merging InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC with Azteca Acquisition Corporation, a $100 million SPAC. It was there that Mr. Hindery appointed Mr. Henry as Head of Corporate Development and Investor Relations for HMTV.
Mr. Henry co-founded Trine I with Mr. Hindery, in September 2018 after working collaboratively at HMTV as head of corporate development and investor relations. Prior to his time at HMTV, Mr. Henry had a career pursuing TMT transactions in Asia, where he served as a Principal at Rakuten, Inc. in Tokyo, Japan. At Rakuten, Mr. Henry focused on M&A opportunities and reported to the office of the CEO & Chairman. Prior to Rakuten, Mr. Henry served as Vice President at Kylin Capital in Shanghai, China, where he was a key financial advisor in various transactions. Mr. Henry served as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Development for Trine I before being appointed Chief Executive Officer of Trine II. Mr. Henry was core to the formation of Trine I, overseeing the company’s initial public offering and then responsible for sourcing, negotiating and closing the merger of Trine I with Desktop Metal. He also managed Trine I’s co-sponsorship with HPS Investment Partners, a multi-billion dollar asset manager. Mr. Henry and Mr. Hindery raised $300 million in Trine I’s IPO, which was completed on March 19, 2019. Trine I announced its deal with Desktop Metal on August 26, 2020. Desktop Metal’s oversubscribed PIPE featured anchor investments from highly respected third-party investors in both the technology and SPAC space.
