SPAC Daily: Throwing in the Towel

by | Jul 12, 2022

SPACs are increasingly calling it quits. As we spoke about last week, many sponsors are looking to avoid paying for kicking the can down the road on its SPAC deadlines. The other trend we’re seeing, the early throwing in of the towel. From GOBI filing a vote to liquidate early, several other SPACs are simply forgoing to pay for the extensions allotted to them. The latest being Global Synergy Acquisition Corp. (GSAQ).

GSAQ has the ability, without a vote, to add $2.6M ($0.10 per share) and extend their deadline from July to January. However, they are deciding to liquidate instead. If they aren’t close to a deal now, nothing in the immediate term will seem to quickly change the tide and allow them (cost free) to strike a deal. That looming March 2023 maturity wall seems even more daunting.

Another Deal Termination

Terminations continue to be on the rise. The latest coming today as Ace Global Business Acquisition (ACBA) and DDC Enterprises cancelled their planned SPAC deal, marking the 3rd such deal to be cancelled since July. Following 7 in July, don’t be surprised to see a few more bite the bullet later this month.
