SPAC Daily: DWAC Adjourns Extension vote

by | Sep 6, 2022

“Trump SPAC” Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) shares were sinking all day as it looked increasingly clear that it hadn’t successfully garnered enough votes for its proposed free 12-month extension to complete its business combination. DWAC promptly adjourned the meeting and will now have two more days to rally the retail troops to submit votes on the extension.

Its shares (and warrants) ebbed a bit of its losses as the sponsor made it clear that they do indeed intend to pay $2,875,000 to get another 3 months if the vote does not pass.

Ultimately DWAC will try again to get enough votes by 9/8 (its deadline date) or else look for the sponsor to buy another 3 months. DWAC’s warrants have cratered since its looking more risky that the DWAC merger eventually closes.

DWACW fell over 18% today
