New York, NY, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSR V Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: GSRV) ("GSRV" or the "Company") announced today the pricing of its initial public offering of 20,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $200,000,000.
The units will be listed on the Nasdaq Global Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and begin trading tomorrow, May 14, 2026, under the ticker symbol "GSRVU." Each unit consists of one of the Company's Class A ordinary shares (the "Class A Ordinary Shares") and one-seventh (1/7th) of one right (the "Rights"), with each whole right entitling the holder thereof to receive one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. No fractional rights will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole rights will trade. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A Ordinary Shares and Rights are expected to be listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols "GSRV" and "GSRVR," respectively. The offering is expected to close May 15, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. GSRV has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units, at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.
Polaris Advisory Partners LLC, a division of Kingswood Capital Partners LLC ("Polaris"), and The Benchmark Company, LLC ("Benchmark") are acting as joint bookrunners for the initial public offering. Polaris is a financial advisory firm wholly owned and controlled by the management of GSRV. Consequently, Benchmark acted as a Qualified Independent Underwriter on the transaction.
