Will GGPI break the deSPAC curse?
Gores Guggenheim (GGPI) shareholders went to vote today as the stock surged ~12% to $10.85 on the day. This helped it more than recover from the dip it suffered when it went ex-redemption. We’re awaiting details on the vote, but expect redemptions to be low. It is expected to close on the 24th and start trading as PSNY.
