SPAC sponsored by Bain Capital Special Situations to focus on high-quality businesses positioned for long-term growth

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bain Capital GSS Investment Corp. (the “Company”), a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of entering into a combination with one or more businesses or entities, today announced the successful closing of its previously announced initial public offering of 46,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which includes 6,000,000 units sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. The units began trading under the ticker symbol “BCSS.U” on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2025. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share of the Company at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Once the securities comprising the units begin separate trading, the Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “BCSS” and “BCSS.W,” respectively.

The Company’s sponsor is an affiliate of Bain Capital Special Situations, a global platform that employs a flexible investment strategy focused on delivering bespoke capital solutions to companies, entrepreneurs, and asset owners.
