Churchill Launches the Fall Season with an Upsize.
Churchill Capital Corp. filed an amended S-1 this morning, increasing their deal size from $400 million to $450 million. There were no other additions or subtractions to the terms or management team, but it does appear that Mr. Balakrishnan Iyer had a birthday somewhere between today’s filing and the previous amendment on August 20th. He’s a Virgo y’all…Happy 62!
Additionally, Citigroup is still the only underwriter on the cover. Can they take down a SPAC that size themselves? Yeah, they can. However, another bank such as I-Bankers, will mostly likely be brought on to top off the 350 round lot shareholders needed to comply with NYSE listing standards.
All told, an upsize is a great way to start what is anticipated to a busy Fall Season. Full updated summary of terms below:
