MCAP Acquisition Corporation (“MCAP”) (Nasdaq: MACQ), a special
purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Monroe
Capital LLC (“Monroe Capital”), today announced the completion of
its business combination (the “Business Combination”) with
AdTheorent Holding Company, LLC (“AdTheorent” or the “Company”), a
leading programmatic digital advertising company using advanced
machine learning technology and privacy-forward solutions to
deliver measurable value for advertisers and marketers. The
Business Combination was approved by MCAP stockholders on December
21, 2021. Beginning on December 23, 2021, the combined company will
begin trading under the name AdTheorent Holding Company, Inc. Its
common stock will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "ADTH"
and its warrants will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol
"ADTHW".
Theodore L. Koenig, former CEO of MCAP noted, "The completion of
the business combination in today’s market was an incredible
accomplishment. This deal would not have happened without our
team’s relationships within the IPO and PIPE investor community.
The transaction is indicative of Monroe Capital’s franchise as a
top-tier SPAC sponsor. Regardless of market conditions, Monroe
Capital is able to leverage its investing platform and
relationships to find exceptional companies, with top management
teams, with the goal of achieving exceptional long term returns for
stockholders. We look forward to continuing our position as a
leading SPAC sponsor and searching for exceptional companies that
can benefit from the Monroe Capital platform, including within
Monroe’s relationships with the owners of the approximately 500
portfolio companies we are invested in. We are excited to continue
the journey in partnering with rapidly growing, public ready
companies in attractive industries."
Zia Uddin, former Co-President of MCAP added, “We are excited to
reach this historic milestone with the Company and its management
team. The work we have done to date positions AdTheorent for the
next stage of its growth as a public company. We believe its
machine learning approach to digital advertising utilizing its
privacy forward, data agnostic model makes it the most performance
focused DSP in the market today. We are excited about growth in the
future such as the recent announcement that Q3 2021 CTV revenue was
up over 300% from Q3 2020. We believe the Company’s business model
is well suited for a market that is becoming increasingly complex
and customers that are becoming increasingly discerning. Once
again, the Monroe SPAC team executed with precision to get to the
finish line with an outstanding company.”

group. In 2018, an affiliate of Monroe was a member of the sponsor
group of Thunder Bridge Acquisition, Ltd. and supported its

and regulatory proceedings; the outcome of any legal proceedings
that may be instituted against the Company related to the Business
Combination; the ability to list and maintain the listing of the
