BERLIN, July 14 (Reuters) - Travel tech startup HomeToGo on
Wednesday became the first company to seal a deal to float on
the German stock market by merging with a listed shell company,
as it tied up with venture capitalist Klaus Hommels' Lakestar
SPAC I LRS1.DE .
The merger puts an equity value of 1.2 billion euros ($1.4
billion) on HomeToGo, a Berlin-based marketplace for vacation
rentals that connects travellers with online travel agents and
independent landlords.
