Correct they will do an alternative public offering

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_public_offering

There are two parts that comprise an APO: the reverse merger and the PIPE. In the reverse merger, the private company becomes public by merging with or being acquired by a public “shell” company. The shell company is a public company that has no assets or liabilities. When the private company and public shell merge, the combined entity thereafter trades under the previously private company’s name rather than the shell company’s name as it did before.

A reverse merger is a method by which an active privately-owned operating company goes public by completing a transaction with a public shell company, with the public company surviving the transaction but having issued a controlling share of the company’s stock to the owners of the privately-owned operating company. The public shell company then typically changes its name to reflect the operating business of the privately-owned operating company. Most public companies that enter into reverse mergers are shell companies, which are companies that have no significant operations or assets.

An alternative public offering is the combination of a reverse merger with a simultaneous private investment in public equity (PIPE). APOs allow companies an alternative to an IPO as a means of going public while raising capital. APOs have gained momentum in recent years because going public via reverse merger allows a privately-held company to become publicly-traded faster, at a lower cost and with less stock dilution than through a traditional IPO.
