OpSec Goes Public, Again

OpSec has announced that it will list on the NASDAQ stock exchange by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) –Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I. The SPAC is an arm of OpSec’s current owners – the private equity firm Investcorp Technology Partners.

The merger and listing is expected to close in the second half of the year, and will raise nearly $200 million, part of which will be used to fund growth through product development and potential acquisitions.

The move follows OpSec’s acquisition of Zacco, an intellectual property management and protection company headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark that unites traditional legal expertise with digital brand management and security.

OpSec has evolved from its origins in physical product authentication, principally holograms, to the protection of brand identity, reputation, and content online.
