Early liquidations continue to be the name of the game in SPACs, and one of the latest shoes to drop is Moelis filing a preliminary proxy to liquidate Atlas Crest Investment Corp. II (ACII) early, up from February into 2022 and avoid the impending excise tax. There are now ~20 SPACs that have either cemented a vote date or indicated that they intend to liquidate early.
On the one hand it’s not shocking many of these SPACs are liquidating, and the accelerated pace of pushing up from Jan-March into 2022 is purely a product of trying to save a few million dollars in tax. These accelerated liquidations will slightly dampen the floodgates of SPAC capital set to be returned early next year.
