Blue Bird Corp

Blue Bird Corporation (Nasdaq: BLBD), a Fort Valley, Georgia-based school bus manufacturer, became a publicly traded company in February 2014 through its merger with Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp, a blank-check vehicle sponsored by Hennessy Capital Group and led by Daniel Hennessy. The SPAC, which priced its IPO in 2013, was among the earlier automotive and industrial-sector blank-check transactions of that era. Blue Bird has since operated as an independent public company, competing in the conventional and alternative-fuel school bus segment with a growing emphasis on electric-powered vehicles. The company filed an 8-K with the SEC on March 13, 2024. Sign up at SpacDesk for full filing history, deal analytics, and real-time SPAC data on Blue Bird and hundreds of other de-SPAC companies.
