This afternoon, both Chardan Healthcare (CHACU) and CF Finance (CFFAU) filed amended S-1s, indicating they are getting ready to price next week. Chardan Healthcare’s S-1/A consisted mostly of nits and clarifying their underwriting fees regarding the $100,000 to be paid to B. Riley FBR as Qualified Independent Underwriter, so there were no material changes. Additionally, there were no material changes for CF Finance either for that matter.
These two amendments come on the heels of Schultze Special Purpose (SAMAU) also filing their amended S-1 yesterday. So, pricing is shaping up to look like the following:
- Monday, Dec. 10th: $150 million, Schultze Special Purpose Acquisition Corp. (for trading Tuesday)
- Wednesday, December 12th: $250 million, CF Finance Acquisition Corp. (for trading Thursday)
- Thursday, December 13th: $70 million, Chardan Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (for trading Friday)
As for the two Cowen-led deals – Monocle Acquisition Corp. (MNCLU) and Andina Acquisition Corp. III (ANDAU), these will now be Q-1 2019 deals. This means we should end the year at 46 SPACs with total gross proceeds (before over-allotments) of $10.739 billion.
It’s going to be a busy week and most likely the last “busy” week of the year….enjoy the weekend.

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...
