Acies Acquisition Corp is offering 30 million units at $10 apiece. Each unit represents one ordinary share and one-quarter of a redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant gives the holder the right to buy one ordinary share at $11.50.

Murren stepped down from his role as CEO of MGM Resorts earlier this year before the expiration of his contract.

A blank-check firm, also known as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), is a shell company that uses IPO proceeds to buy another company, in a deal that takes the private company public. High-profile investors like Bill Ackman, Michael Klein and Chamath Palihapitiya have raised billions through their SPACs this year.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) & Co and Oppenheimer & Co are the underwriters for the offering.
