Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (GRRR) began trading under its new ticker today, following the closing of its business combination with Global SPAC Partners Co. With a reported redemption rate of ~88%, it became the latest DeSPAC to fall into the low-float community: i.e. the amount of shares currently tradable in the public is quite small. Several months ago, this resulted in several meme-like gamma squeeze trades where the DeSPAC stock would jump rapidly.
However that trade seemed to have gone away in recent months as the market caught on. GRRR has brought it back (at least for the time being), trading at intra day highs of ~$35, before settling in at $33 for a solid +100% gain on the day. Upcoming merger votes include the below, so keep an eye out, and buyer beware. The trade is quite risky, and oftentimes redemptions can be reversed, thus increasing the float back up.

- Clover Leaf Capital Corp. (CLOE) is utilizing its first of three 3-month extensions to extend its deadline to 10/22/2022 and depositing $0.10 in trust, bringing current NAV to ~$10.26
- HPX Corp. (HPX) extension approved. 19.5M shares redeemed, or ~77% of the SPAC’s trust
- Crown PropTech Acquisition’s (CPTK) largest PIPE Investor, Golub Capital, pulled its $68M commitment to the $75M PIPE as the deal had not closed by 7/9. With no further financing this deal is in real danger of not closing
