Melar Acquisition Corp. I (MACI)

Financial Services

Under Review

This is a blank-check company with no operating business to screen yet, so we hold its verdict.

Melar Acquisition Corp. I is filed under an industry with no operating business of its own to screen. Most such listings are blank-check companies: a vehicle raises money to combine with a business it has not yet acquired, and until that combination completes there is no business for the AAOIFI screens to assess, while the money it raised sits in a trust that is typically invested in short-term Treasuries. We screen businesses, we do not certify them, so we hold the verdict rather than rate a trust account. Where the listing is a holding vehicle instead, the same applies: there is no operating business behind it yet. Our engine re-checks it as filings arrive and screens the combined company as whatever business it has become.

Screened according to AAOIFI Standard No. 21
