- Pegasus Digital Mobility Acquisition Corp. (PGSS) operates as a blank check company, or special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), focused on effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses, primarily targeting next-generation transportation sector opportunities with exposure to energy transformation and digital mobility tailwinds, particularly in the European market; its core activities encompass strategic identification, due diligence, negotiation, and integration of target companies in digital mobility solutions, including electric vehicle technology, autonomous driving advancements, sustainable transportation infrastructure, and advanced mobility services. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, the company went public via a $225 million initial public offering on October 22, 2021, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PGSS. Geographically, it pursues targets with global reach but emphasizes Europe, leveraging expertise from sponsor StratCap Investment Management LLC (formerly Strategic Capital Fund Management LLC) to foster growth and shareholder value through partnerships and operational enhancements.
In its primary transaction, Pegasus entered a definitive business combination agreement on May 31, 2023, with Gebr. SCHMID GmbH and its subsidiaries (collectively, the SCHMID Group), a 160-year-old family-owned technology firm specializing in customized system and process solutions for high-tech electronics, photovoltaics, glass, and energy systems industries; the deal, valuing SCHMID at an enterprise value of $640 million (later revalued), received shareholder approval on April 22, 2024, following amendments including a December 7, 2023 vote and a January 2024 revision to the shareholder undertaking with SCHMID principals Anette and Christian Schmid, plus warrant transfers to them upon closing. The business combination closed on April 30, 2024, with $504 million deal size, resulting in SCHMID Group N.V. as the surviving public entity listed on Nasdaq under ticker SHMD (formerly PGSS), headquartered in Freudenstadt, Germany, and retaining SCHMID's management team alongside Pegasus executives such as Sir Ralf Speth as board chairman. This SPAC merger marked Pegasus's strategic shift from search phase to completed de-SPAC, enabling SCHMID's public listing and expansion into advanced packaging on panel-level substrates, high-end circuit boards, PV and glass manufacturing, and energy storage solutions for AI-driven electronics challenges, supported by extensions like a $719,907 trust funding in April 2023 for deadline relief.
