Have you ever read the definition of a shell company?

Dateline 2014-05-12, Reuters:

Malaysia’s Reach Energy Bhd, a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) with no existing assets, plans to list shares on the local bourse in a deal to fetch 750 million ringgit ($232 million), according to a draft prospectus published on Monday.

The deal, which is expected in July this year, could mark Malaysia’s largest listing by a shell company with no assets. A SPAC is set up with the intention of buying firms that will be later folded into the business.
