The first half of 2022 has punished just about everyone in the market, but especially those in SPAC land. Our monthly SPAC Market Review will be released tomorrow and we’ll go in depth across SPACs, but today’s after hours double deal termination typifies the market year-to-date.

Today’s FTCV and ISLE deal terminations make it 9 for the month of June. ISLE was the smaller of the two deals and the merger with Cytovia Therapeutics was valued around $370M at the time it was announced. The FTCV / eToro deal was substantially larger. Original deal valuation was $10B, but given how the market has eroded broadly and newcomers like HOOD and COIN are down -54% and -81% respectively, it’s not a surprise to see the deal fall through.

Elsewhere in SPACs

• Looking forward, the SPAC calendar is dominated by extension votes. And, for those deal votes still upcoming, investors will certainly have their doubts about deals coming to completion.
• Apollo pulled Spartan IV (SRTN) with a registration withdrawal today, but still has APGB and ACRO looking for deals.

• Enjoy Technology Inc (ENJY) which deSPAC’d in October 2021 has already filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
• Digital World Acquisition (DWAC) popped +7%, on no news, but at $24.16 remains down -53% YTD.
• Northern Lights (NLIT) surged over $25 during the day, but settled and closed the day up 9% at $10.61. Shareholders approved the merger on the 28th of June and today it extended the deadline to consummate the merger to September 28, 2022.
• deSPACs continued to suffer with Polestar (PSNY — ex-GGPI) dropping -10% to $8.81. DAVE, which started trading below $1 in early June dropped another -8% and is now at just $0.69. MSPR dropped -14% and is now at $2.14.
