Purple Innovation, Inc. (PRPL) began as Global Partner Acquisition Corp, a blank-check special purpose acquisition company that completed its IPO in 2016 and targeted the consumer products and home goods sector. The 10-Q filed May 9, 2017 captures the company during its active target-search phase, prior to announcing a definitive combination. The SPAC subsequently entered into a business combination with Purple, the direct-to-consumer mattress and sleep products brand, closing the transaction in February 2018, at which point the combined entity rebranded as Purple Innovation, Inc. and began trading on Nasdaq under the PRPL ticker. The de-SPAC established Purple as a publicly listed competitor in the growing sleep and home furnishings market.
