Elsewhere in SPACs
- Aries I Acquisition (RAM) announced an extension deadline from August 21, 2022 to September 21, 2022. This is the first of up to 12 one-month extensions. Aries deposited an aggregate of $80,362.03 into trust. Aries has a pending deal with InfiniteWorld.
- Westrock Coffee and Riverview (RVAC) announced they intend to close on August 26th. They also released their latest financials.
- Black Spade Acquisition (BSAQ) filed a notice that it made previous errors in accounting for the expenses related to the initial business combination and therefore their previously filed K’s and Q’s shouldn’t be relied up.
Market Activity Summary
After no SPAC IPOs in July we’ve had a few in August, but it’s low $$ stuff. Redemption rates remain very elevated which is a big contributor to post-close financing angst and issues. And, both extensions and terminations are becoming a daily occurrence.
