LEISURE ACQUISITION CORP. (LACQ)
This afternoon, Leisure Acquisition Corp. (LACQ), released the details of their shareholder vote to approve extending their deadline four months from December 5, 2019 to April 5, 2020. This was a fairly straightforward extension vote with an attractive $0.03 contribution to trust per month, so unsurprisingly, there were minimal redemptions.
Per today’s 8-K, out of 20,000,000 public shares outstanding only 1,123,749 shares opted to redeem, leaving 18,876,251 shares remaining. A redemption price per share was not given, however, the 8-K did state that the total aggregate value of those redemptions was $11.6 million. Furthermore, the filing also stated that the amount remaining in trust is now $194.6 million, so using those figures we can estimate that the per-share redemption price was roughly $10.31.
Leisure now has four additional months to bring back a combination. Let’s hope it a good one.

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...
