There have been a number of filings this afternoon, so a summary has been provided below:
Industrea Acquisition Corp.
Industrea (INDU), announced this afternoon that shareholders have approved their business combination with Concrete Pumping Holdings. The final voting results revealed 97.33% of votes cast were in favor of the Business Combination, representing 71.96% of all outstanding shares as of the October 17, 2018 record date. However, as of yet, Industrea has not released any of the details regarding number of shares redeemed or at what price, however, they did indicate they will be releasing that information in an additional 8-K. So, while 97% voted yes, that doesn’t tell us much since you can still vote “yes” and also redeem for the pro rata amount in trust. Regardless, Congratulations to Industrea and Concrete Pumping Holdings. We’ll update as further information becomes available.
Constellation Alpha Capital Corp.
Constellation Alpha Capital Corp. (CNAC), in a very brief 8-K, indicated their agreement with Medall Healthcare Private Limited, has been terminated. Constellation Alpha has until Dec. 19th to complete their business combination and they indicated in their filing that “The Company intends to continue to pursue a business combination with a target company“, so a forthcoming proxy to extend their deadline date will most likely be filed shortly.
Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp.
Chardan Healthcare (CHACU), filed an S-1/A this afternoon for their SPAC, indicating (so far) that they’re sticking with their terms. As a side note, Schultze also filed their S-1/A (Nov. 28th), as did CF Finance (Dec. 3rd). However, Chardan’s filing (without any changes) is the most surprising. But hey, if they can sell it…good on them.
If you would like to review the terms of all five of the forthcoming December SPAC IPOs, you can find that here.
Israeli tech firms have made up an outsized proportion of SPAC activity and despite the ongoing tensions in its region, that dealmaking is continuing unabated. In fact, the SPAC named for the particular mission of taking Israeli firms public through SPACs, Israel Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:ISRL) in fact just took one step closer in completing that...
At the SPAC of Dawn Although the market has largely recovered from a negative stretch last week, the roller coaster is tilted back downward for Trump Media (NASDAQ:DJT), which slid -8% yesterday to $32.57 – one of its lowest points since closing with Digital World last month. 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...
With the passage this weekend of $95 billion in funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan by the House of Representatives, some focus has gone back towards the defense sector, which has generally had a good year as a whole. But, SPACs have not been as active in defense, despite the fact that companies in the...
