It’s SPAC Week. Anybody Else Want to Price??
Well, it looks like LF Capital Acquisition Corp., a $135 million Fintech-focused SPAC, is pricing Tuesday evening as well. LF Capital filed their CERT shortly after Twelve Seas, so we’ve got ourselves a double dose of SPACs.
LF Capital recently brought on BlackRock Funds as a Sponsor/Anchor Investor and increased their per share amount in trust to 102%, or $10.20 per unit.
It should be interesting to see how both Twelve Seas and LF Capital shake out in the morning.

Other SPACs and de-SPACs are having a more...
Remember the metaverse? Many do not. Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) attempted transition to virtually living and working seemed to mark a trend that went up and down quickly, but one SPAC deal has both survived that roller coaster and may rise with a second. Back in December 2022, Newbury Street (NASDAQ:NBST) announced a $1.85 billion combination with...
At the SPAC of Dawn Tucked into the bill that provides $95 billion in funding to American allies passed by the House this weekend is another measure that is likely to have far more impact on at least one pending deal in SPAC world. It would appear that the timing was fortuitous for TikTok rival...
