Early this afternoon, Big Rock Partners Acquisition Corp. (BRPA), released the details of their shareholder vote to approve their extension deadline to November 22, 2019, from August 22, 2019. As a result, the Company’s Sponsor will be contributing $0.02 to the trust account per month for each public share that was not redeemed, or $78,666.80
Per the 8-K, 846,888 shares of the Company’s common stock elected to redeem, which resulted in approximately $8.9 million (at an estimated $10.49 per share) being removed from the Trust Account. Furthermore, approximately 3,933,340 public shares will remain issued and outstanding, which means that the Trust Account is now currently estimated to hold $41.3 million, down from their estimated $50.2 million held in trust before the vote.
If you recall, BRPA has extended three times previously: twice for $0.10 for each three-month extension and once for $0.02 per month for a third three-month extension. Today’s fourth extension is for $0.02 per month as well, which if they extend for the full three months to November 22nd, will mean BRPA will have contributed $0.32 total to the trust to extend their deadline for one year.
Three months is a tight window to announce and close a deal, so will they need to extend even further? Remains to be seen. However, if they do not announce something shortly, there is a possibility this SPAC opts to liquidate rather than indefinitely having to contribute additional funds to the trust. Let’s hope they bring a great deal instead.

The SPAC boom of 2020-2021 brought the asset class into sectors they had never entered before and that had generated few if any public companies of any kind. Space was one of these, but it appeared to be a passing fascination as soon as macro financial winds changed. That could be about to change once...

This week, we...
