Retail Opportunity Investments Corp, which traded under the ticker NAQ on the Nasdaq, was a blank-check company that completed its initial public offering in 2007 with a stated focus on retail real estate acquisitions in the United States. The SPAC targeted the necessity-based retail property sector, pursuing shopping center and grocery-anchored asset opportunities. In November 2009, the company filed a Form 25 with the SEC, formally notifying the exchange of the removal of its securities from listing — a step consistent with the conclusion of its SPAC lifecycle following a completed business combination. The successor entity operated as a retail-focused real estate investment trust.
