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.
