MSDA adds former Slack CFO Allen Shim to board
MSD Acquisition Corp. (MSDA), the SPAC sponsored by Michael Dell’s family office, adds former Slack CFO Allen Shim to the Board. Shim led the company’s direct listing offering in June 2019 and oversaw its acquisition by Salesforce (CRM) which closed in July 2021. The news follows Barry McCarthy’s resignation from the Board to take over as Peloton (PTON) CEO. MSDA hasn’t yet announced a target. The SPAC “will seek to acquire a scaled, multibillion-dollar business with a leading market position in its industry. The SPAC intends to prioritize companies that operate in “winner takes all” or “winner takes most” industries.”
CCIF, Denham pull offerings
The latest SPACs to pull the plug. CCIF Acquisition Corp. (CCIF) pulls its planned $150M IPO. Denham Sustainable Performance Management Acquisition Corp. also pulled plans for its $200M offering. The SPAC IPO market is ice cold, with just 6 companies making it out of the gate this month, down from 109 last year.
