Less than a week after its target Blackstone refused to pay the SPAC the $200k it needed to continue, Ackrell SPAC Partners I Co. (ACKIT) confirmed today that it will liquidate. A continuation of a frustrating time for SPACs and deal partners who are quarreling and not getting deals closed in tough market conditions. 10 deals were called off in August, and no reason not to believe that won’t continue as we enter September.
August SPAC Deal Cancellations
Cancelled deals and sponsors not paying up for extensions have escalated the pace of liquidations, of which another 10 SPACs have announced liquidations since the start of August.
Elsewhere in SPACs
- Warrior Technologies Acquisition (WARR) chose to forego its extension vote and instead liquidated
- Former SPAC target SeatGeek raised $260M at a discounted valuation from where it was struck to go public via RedBall Acquisition (RBAC). RBAC ultimately liquidated following the termination of their merger agreement
- Aesther Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (AEHA) struck a deal to take biotech Ocean Biomedical public in a deal valued at $345M. The DA comes less than 2 months after AEHA terminated its previous deal with United Gear & Assembly. Ocean is more along the lines of its healthcare mandate.
- CF Acquisition Corp. VIII (CFFE) confirmed a 9/27 vote date for a 6month extension from September out to March. Will deposit the lesser of $0.33 per share and $1,210,000 to the trust.
