Blue Bird Corp

Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp., trading under ticker HCAC and sponsored by Hennessy Capital Group, completed one of the earlier high-profile SPAC transactions in the industrial and manufacturing sector. The blank-check company, which went public in 2013, announced its combination with Blue Bird Corp., one of North America's largest school bus manufacturers, in January 2014. The deal closed later that year, taking Blue Bird public on Nasdaq under the ticker BLBD, where it continues to trade. The transaction marked a notable early example of SPAC sponsors pursuing durable, asset-heavy industrial targets.
