Highlands Acquisition Corp

Highlands Acquisition Corp (NYSE Amex: HIA) was a blank-check company that completed its initial public offering in 2008, targeting acquisitions in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The SPAC filed a definitive proxy statement (DEF 14A) with the SEC on April 30, 2009, seeking shareholder approval for a proposed business combination with Consolidated Container Holdings LLC, a manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging. The transaction, if approved, would effectively wind down HIA as a standalone shell and deliver the combined entity to public shareholders. The filing reflects the heightened deal activity among SPACs that had raised capital ahead of the 2008 financial crisis.
