Announced but not closed, and still hunting — again over all 3.

James S. Yerbic is a seasoned business executive and SPAC director based in Kildeer, Illinois, who currently serves as a director on the board of NewHold Investment Corp IV (NASDAQ: NHIV/NHIVU), a blank-check company that raised approximately $201.25 million in its IPO and is focused on identifying business combination targets in the industrial technology sector. He filed his initial Form 3 with the SEC on April 22, 2026, with an event date of April 14, 2026, disclosing his beneficial ownership as a director of the SPAC. Yerbic also serves or has served as a director of NewHold Investment Corp III (NHIC), another vehicle in the NewHold Investment family, where he was identified as a director as of February 2025. His fellow NewHold Investment Corp IV board members and officers include Scott Scharfman, Charlie Baynes-Reid, Hammad Samy, Philip Horlock, Thomas J. Sullivan, Sezaneh Taherian, and Isobel Paola Schneck, with Kevin M. Charlton serving as CEO of NewHold Investment Corp III.
Since June 2021, Yerbic has served as Executive Chairman of Aviation Technical Services, Inc. (ATS), an Everett, Washington-based airframe maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) company. According to local press coverage, during his tenure as CEO he oversaw the company's transformation from a single-site airframe maintenance business based in Everett into a multi-site operation, signaling significant operational expansion under his leadership. He is also referenced in professional directories as having founded and led Skonnie Music as CEO, and as a singer, musician, lyricist/songwriter, and artist manager based in San Francisco, California, suggesting a diverse entrepreneurial background spanning both industrial aviation services and the music industry. Earlier in his career, Yerbic worked as a senior financial professional and later as an independent business consultant; a 1999-era SEC filing identified him as a director of FNAT (First National Acceptance Company) at age 60, indicating a long-standing history of board service and financial expertise stretching back decades.
Yerbic's educational background includes attendance at the University of Alaska (1989–1991), and he is listed as a trustee of Elmhurst University in Elmhurst, Illinois, where he is identified as James S. Yerbic of Kildeer, Illinois, reflecting his ongoing engagement in higher education governance. His professional network and insider filings indicate a mailing address in New York, NY 10017, consistent with his SPAC-related activities. Across his SPAC roles, Yerbic has been associated with at least two NewHold Investment vehicles (Corp III and Corp IV), both targeting industrial technology combinations, and his track record reflects deep experience in operational leadership, financial consulting, and board governance across aviation, financial services, and entertainment sectors.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002051443 — 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 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 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.
