GLG Partners, Inc.

Freedom Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (ticker: FRH) was a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by GLG Partners, Inc., the London-headquartered alternative asset management firm. The SPAC completed its IPO in 2006, targeting the financial services sector. Freedom Acquisition Holdings is notable for executing a merger with GLG Partners itself in 2007, effectively taking the sponsor's core asset management business public through the SPAC structure — a relatively rare arrangement at the time. The transaction resulted in GLG Partners, Ltd. becoming a publicly listed entity. The SPAC is now closed following the completion of that business combination.
