Signs of life in SPACland, with four deals this week:
- PCAC – Lanvin
- RNER – Hub Security
- AHPA – Ligand (LGND) OmniAb business
- THCP – Coincheck
We also saw a deSPAC — Forge Global (FRGE), which experienced a familiar squeeze owing to low float / high redemptions. In its fourth day of trading today, FRGE rocketed 50% to close at $18.70.
And an IPO this week: RF Acquisition Corp. (RFAC).
