HIGHBURY FINANCIAL INC

Highbury Financial Inc., trading under the ticker HBRY, was a blank check company that registered for its initial public offering in 2006, with an S-1/A amendment filed with the SEC on January 23, 2006. The company was formed to pursue an acquisition in the financial services sector, with a focus on asset management businesses. Highbury Financial ultimately completed a business combination with Aston Asset Management, formerly known as ABN AMRO Asset Management, marking its transition from blank check company to an operating firm. The deal positioned Highbury as one of the earlier SPAC-to-operating-company conversions in the asset management space during the mid-2000s wave of SPAC activity.
