About Legacy Acquisition
Corp.
Legacy raised $300 million in November 2017 and
its securities are listed on the NYSE. At the time of its listing,
Legacy was the only Special Purpose Acquisition Company on the NYSE
led predominantly by African American managers and sponsor
investors. Legacy was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase,
recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more target businesses. Legacy is sponsored by a team
of proven leaders primarily comprised of former Procter &
Gamble executives and is supported by a founder/shareholder group
of proven operationally based value builders. These executives have
extensive experience in building brands and transforming businesses
for accelerated growth. Legacy’s founders and management
expectation is that Legacy will serve as a role model for African
Americans and other under-represented business leaders to achieve
success not just in the executive ranks of large Corporations, but
also as entrepreneurs in the productive use of capital through
mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street. For more information
