OVERVIEW
McKinley Acquisition Corporation
A single-purpose vehicle. One transaction. One outcome. Sponsored by Belay Global Partners and structured for alignment between sponsor, merger partner, and public shareholders.
McKinley exists to identify one private company, typically $500M-$2B in enterprise value, with recurring revenue and credible public-company readiness, and combine with it through a SPAC business combination paired with institutional capital raised through Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE).
It is a credible alternative to a traditional IPO for companies that want speed, valuation certainty, and a sponsor whose interests are tied to long-term performance rather than transaction fees.
ENTERPRISE VALUE
$500M-$2B
REVENUE PROFILE
Recurring, scalable, attractive incremental margins
READINESS
Public-company willing, ready, and sound
STRUCTURE
A clean capital structure, designed for alignment.
McKinley’s terms are designed to remove the frictions that have historically undermined SPACs, and to keep sponsor, merger partner, and public shareholders pointed in the same direction.

Structural Benefits
Liquidity.
Rights, not warrants, deepen initial trading float in the combined company.
No dilution overhang.
The absence of warrants removes the structural deterrent that keeps institutions from participating in the secondary market.
Alignment.
Sponsor economics vest over time, and a twelve-month post-combination lock-up aligns sponsor and the company’s management to the same horizon.
