Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 4.

Thomas J. Sullivan serves as the Independent Chairman of the Board of Directors of NewHold Investment Corp. IV (NASDAQ: NHIV), a blank check company that priced its $175 million IPO in April 2026 and is headquartered at 110 West 40th Street, Suite 802, New York, New York. The SPAC is led by CEO Kevin Charlton, with Philip Horlock serving as Vice Chairman, and a board that includes Charles Baynes-Reid, Suzy Taherian, Scott P. Scharfman, Matt Yerbic, Bryan Mikula, Brian P. Mathis, and Samy Hammad. Sullivan filed his initial Form 3 with the SEC on April 16, 2026, registering as a reporting person and director without any reported share holdings or derivative positions at the time of filing. He is approximately 64 years old.
Sullivan's most recent prior SPAC role has been as Chairman of the Board of NewHold Investment Corp III since September 2024, a special purpose acquisition company then in the process of searching for a business combination target. From June 2016 to October 2024, Sullivan was a partner of SG Special Situations Fund L.P., whose investment manager is Standard General L.P., a New York-based investment firm that manages event-driven opportunity funds. In that capacity he was responsible for portfolio management across the fund's special situations investments. Prior to joining Standard General, Sullivan was the managing partner of Smallwood Partners, LLC, a financial advisory services firm, from 2009 to 2015. Before that, he served as a managing director of Investcorp International, Inc., a global middle-market private equity firm, from 1996 to 2008, representing over a decade of leadership in private equity investing.
Sullivan has served on numerous boards and committees over the past twenty-five years. Notably, he served on the board of directors and as chairman of the compensation committee of Spirit Realty Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation, from 2021 to February 2024. He also serves on the Board of Trustees of SMTA Liquidating Trust, the successor entity to Spirit MTA. His extensive board experience and his roles across event-driven investing, financial advisory services, and global private equity form the foundation of his contribution to the NewHold platform, where his combination of investment management expertise and governance experience supports the SPAC's search for and evaluation of potential business combination targets in the industrial technology sector.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001591210 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 12 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 8 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
