Chalk up another potential SPAC battle in the making, this time between Ackrell SPAC Partners I Co. (ACKIU) and its target company Blackstone (North Atlantic Imports). In June, ACKIU shareholders approved an up to three month extension deadline for the SPAC to complete its deal, giving the SPAC until 9-23 to complete a transaction, contingent upon the deposit of $200k / month into the trust account to compensate shareholders for sticking around.
However, it was announced today that Blackstone is declining to fund the final $200k needed to execute the last extension, and the company is warning that it might not be able to secure the funds elsewhere. Thus if they cannot secure additional funding by next week, they may be forced to liquidate.
Quick change in sentiment surrounding this deal if the target, seemingly trying to get out of the deal, is unwilling to pay the $200k necessary for an extra month. ACKIU now joins the likes of FST, CPTK, and DUNE who may end up in legal battles.
