A Taiwanese company that manufactures batteries announced Wednesday it will become publicly traded through a $3.8 billion merger with Translational Development Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company.<\/p>

ProLogium Technology plans to use the funding from this transaction to increase manufacturing of its fourth-generation solid-state batteries and build a new gigafactory in Dunkirk, France.<\/p>

The merger will also enable ProLogium to enter expanding markets including data centers, aerospace, robotics and defense sectors.<\/p>

The company expects to break ground on its Dunkirk manufacturing plant in late 2026, with full-scale production and product deliveries starting in the second quarter of 2029.<\/p>

ProLogium, established in 2006, specializes in lithium ceramic batteries designed for electric vehicles and has delivered more than 2.4 million battery cells to clients since 2013.<\/p>

A special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, operates as a shell corporation that gathers capital through an initial public offering to combine with a private company, enabling that business to go public without conducting a conventional IPO.<\/p>

The transaction is anticipated to finalize in the second half of 2026. Once completed, the merged entity will trade on the Nasdaq exchange using the ticker symbol “PRLG”.<\/p>

Cohen & Company Markets served as ProLogium’s advisor for the transaction, while BTIG provided advisory services to TDAC. Cr\u00e9dit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank worked as the placement agent for ProLogium.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
