Falcon Capital Acquisition II, a blank check company formed by Ariliam Group targeting a media business, filed on Wednesday with the SEC to raise up to $400 million in an initial public offering.

The New York, NY-based company plans to raise $400 million by offering 40 million units at $10. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-fourth of a warrant, exercisable at $11.50. At the proposed deal size, Falcon Capital Acquisition II would command a market value of $500 million.

The company plans to target businesses in the media, entertainment, and sports industries, including digital streaming and OTT, mobile gaming and interactive entertainment, live events and experiential consumer-facing technology, and related industries.

Management’s previous SPAC, Falcon Capital Acquisition (FCAC; +2% from $10 offer price), went public in September 2020 and has a pending merger agreement with healthcare platform Sharecare.

Falcon Capital Acquisition II was founded in 2021 and plans to list on the Nasdaq. It has not selected a symbol yet (RC ticker: FTWOU.RC). Goldman Sachs is the sole bookrunner on the deal.
