BARINGTON/HILCO ACQUISITION CORP.

Barington/Hilco Acquisition Corp. filed an S-1 registration statement with the SEC on November 13, 2014, initiating the formation process for a SPAC targeting the retail and consumer sector. The vehicle was co-sponsored by Barington Capital Group, an activist investment firm with a long track record in consumer and retail equities, and Hilco Global, a financial services firm specializing in retail asset management, appraisals, and restructuring advisory. Both sponsors brought complementary sector expertise aligned with the SPAC's intended acquisition focus. The November 2014 filing places this vehicle within the pre-2015 vintage of SPAC formations, a period preceding the later surge in blank-check activity.
