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.

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...
With the passage this weekend of $95 billion in funding for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan by the House of Representatives, some focus has gone back towards the defense sector, which has generally had a good year as a whole. But, SPACs have not been as active in defense, despite the fact that companies in the...
