(the "Company") today announced the closing of its upsized initial public offering of 12,350,000 units at $10.00 per unit, including 1,350,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. The units are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market ("Nasdaq") and trade under the ticker symbol "NUBIU".
