Greenhill joins blank check rush with $400m float

A blank check vehicle owned by boutique investment bank Greenhill has priced its units in an offering expected to raise $400m (€272.5m), as companies raise more money through such flotations for potential takeovers amid tough conditions for other types of acquisition financing.

GHL Acquisition is selling 400,000 units at $10 each. The offering of the units is expected to close on February 21. As is the case with blank check companies, no acquisition target was specified.
