Atlas Crest Investment Corp., a blank check company formed by Moelis & Company, filed on Friday with the SEC to raise up to $500 million in an initial public offering.

The company is led by Chairman Ken Moelis, founder and Managing Director of Moelis & Company, and CEO Michael Spellacy, a former Senior Managing Director at Accenture and Global Industry Leader of Accenture Capital Markets. While the company selected a target industry, it plans to leverage its management team’s experience and target businesses that will benefit from its strategic and operational value add.
