Everyone’s favorite SPAC, Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) (sorry Chamath), is back in the news over the last several days owing to potential financial trouble at its target, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) and its flagship app TRUTH Social. Trump has been denying that there is financial trouble and DWAC and TMTG are both facing court battles related to the merger.
Although it once traded as high as $175, DWAC shares have slowly been creeping back to its NAV, and shares fell again today, nearly 8% to $25.3, a far fall. While it’s still, by far, the SPAC trading at the greatest premium to NAV, shareholders seem less certain of the deal closing than they have over the past year.
A milestone comes next week, September 6, as DWAC shareholders are set to vote on a 1-year extension of its deadline to complete a business combination. This would replace the existing 2 3-month extensions that DWAC currently has the option of implementing.
