Sportradar Group AG, the sports data provider, has filed for an initial public offering in the U.S. after merger talks with a special purpose acquisition company collapsed.

The company, based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, in its filing Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission listed the size of offering as $100 million, a placeholder that will likely change. Sportradar had held talks with Horizon Acquisition Corp. II, a blank-check company started by Eldridge Industries co-founder Todd Boehly.
