SPAC Daily: Return of Merger Monday

by | Jul 25, 2022

For the first time in recent memory, we had a fairly active SPAC merger Monday with 3 (yes!) 3 new DAs:

  • Frazier Life Sciences Acquisition Corp. (FLAC) and NewAmsterdam Pharma, $326M
  • DUET Acquisition Corp. (DUET) and AnyTech 365, $287M
  • DHC Acquisition Corp. (DHCA) and GloriFi, $1.7B

However, that brings us to GloriFi. Not taking a view on the deal yet (tough to with little information released), though a $1.7B valuation is a bit of head scratcher for a company that feels as if is in a very WIP mode. To boot, this was at the bottom of their Press Release: “Given the Summer Holiday Season, GloriFi intends to Post its Full Investor Presentation After Labor Day”

From GloriFi’s website, looks like most products have yet to launch

That’s definitely a first and doesn’t exactly scream, hey we’re working hard for you. If you can’t even bother to work on a presentation until after Labor Day, what is the point of rushing to announce in July? Watch out high redemptions!

Elsewhere in SPACs

  • Better World Acquisition Corp. (BWAC) set a date for another extension. vote 8/15, out till feb. 44% redeemed in last vote.
  • Abri SPAC (ASPA) and blockchain co Apifiny terminated their previously announced deal. ASPA will look for another target.
