Early this afternoon, TPG Pace Holdings Corp. (TPGH), released the details of their shareholder vote to approve their new extension deadline and the results were 100% in favor of extending. In fact, I don’t ever recall a SPAC vote (off the top of my head) where 100% percent of voters checked off the “yes’ box. However, there were some redemptions, but as a result of today’s vote, TPGH will now have until December 31, 2019, to close their transaction with Accel Entertainment.
RESULTS
Per the 8-K, 3,247,267 of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem at a price of $10.29 share, which resulted in $33.4 million being removed from the Trust Account leaving approximately $429.7 million remaining. As a reminder, TPGH will not be contributing any additional capital to trust for shareholders who did not redeem.
Additionally, TPGH recently filed their preliminary proxy/S-4 (September 5th), so a shareholder vote to complete will hopefully occur well before December 31st, but this extension gives them some cushion. Look for a new proxy early to mid-October.

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.

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...
