SPAC Daily: Athena Consumer Strikes German EV Deal

by | Jul 28, 2022

What is this, 2021!? In the current era where SPACs are less EV and techy, Athena Consumer Acquisition (ACAQ) turned back the clock in announcing a $913M enterprise value deal for German EV producer Next.e.GO. They mention 1,000 cars have been produced and on the road, yet provided little detail on the actual financials of the company. As is standard today, there was little movement on the commons, yet ACAQ warrants did jump 50% to $0.18.

Elsewhere in SPACs

  • Getty Images (GETY) disclosed its redemption numbers, leaving just over 500k shares of public float. Meme alert.
  • CHW Acquisition Corp (CHWA) shareholders approved its deal with Wag!, unsurprisingly shareholders redeemed 98% of the SPAC. Perhaps with the early announcement in PR the company (as we’ve seen a few times before) might get some redemption reversals
  • Edoc Acquisition Corp. (ADOC) filed for another extension (this will be their second) vote 8/12, seeking 6 months till February and depositing $0.033 monthly.
