Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp and Mobile Infrastructure Corp merging to form a $550mn company

NEW YORK: Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. III entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Mobile Infrastructure Corp. (MIC), one of the largest institutional-quality, mobility-focused parking asset owners in the U.S.

The business combination values the combined company at a post-money equity valuation of approximately $550 million assuming no public shareholders of Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp exercise their redemption rights.

The combined company is expected to have up to approximately $276 million in cash at closing, including $275 million of cash held in FWAC from its initial public offering on May 27, 2021 (assuming no redemptions by FWAC’s public shareholders and prior to the payment of transaction expenses).

The transaction is further supported by a $10 million PIPE investment from No Street Capital, an existing MIC shareholder.

Upon the closing of this transaction, the combined company expects to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “BEEP.”

Founded in 2015, Mobile Infrastructure Corp. has established an industry-leading reputation acquiring under-managed parking facilities in the nation’s top 50 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) and implementing a variety of asset management initiatives to unlock embedded upside.

Mobile Infrastructure Corp. is led by an experienced management team with long-standing parking industry relationships. MIC’s strategically diversified portfolio currently includes 44 parking facilities in 22 markets.

Manuel Chavez, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of MIC, said, “Today marks an important step in our path towards creating a next-generation publicly-listed parking platform. Fifth Wall’s vast expertise bridging the gap between analog businesses and technologies, combined with their network of limited partners who represent the world’s top real estate owners and operators, make them an integral partner in our next growth phase.”

Jeff Osher, Managing Partner of No Street Capital, and MIC Director, commented, “As the largest shareholder of MIC, I’m thrilled that we not only found the right partner in FWAC, but also an aligned incentive structure that is conducive to the creation of meaningful shareholder value over time. Our enthusiasm about MIC’s combination with FWAC is reflected in No Street’s commitment to invest an additional $10 million in a PIPE transaction.”

Brad Greiwe, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Fifth Wall, shared, “Fifth Wall has long evaluated the landscape of parking owner-operators and the technologies applicable to those businesses. It was evident that Mobile Infrastructure has the right portfolio, management team, operator relationships and track record to redefine and usher the industry into the future.”
