Last August Mudrick Capital Acquisition II (MUDS) was left at the altar when its original deal for Topps was cancelled upon Major League Baseball losing its 70 year relationship with the trading card company. The loss of such a valuable license cancelled the $1.3B tie up. Topps was ultimately sold to Fanatics, who had won the MLB license.
Mudrick regrouped, and this past June announced that it would take online jewelry retailer Blue Nile public in a deal valuing the company at $683M EV. But yet again, Mudrick had the rug pulled under from them as today Signet Jewelers (SIG) announced that it was buying Blue Nile in an all cash deal at a $360M valuation, just a fraction of what MUDS had value them out just two short months ago.
Tough sledding for the MUDS team who are now up against a September deadline to strike (and complete) a new SPAC deal. Will this be the next liquidation, or will they seek an extension to buy themselves more time?
