TKK Symphony Acquisition Corporation (TKKS) announced this evening that it would be extending the expiration of its tender offer to purchase up to 25,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $10.28, for a fourth time. However, as part of the tender offer price, TKKS will now also include a contingent cash payment equal to a pro rata portion of any additional accrued interest remaining in the Company’s trust account in excess of the $10.28 per share offer.
The tender offer was expected to expire tonight (at 5:00 p.m.), but will now expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on Thursday, January 23rd, 2020. Keep in mind that TKKS’s combination deadline does not expire until February 20, 2020, so if at January 23rd TKKS feels they need to further extend the tender offer deadline, they do have room for one more extension.
However, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time today, an aggregate of 21,295,878 ordinary shares have been tendered. Which is an improvement from mid-December when they announced their third extension and stated that 24,927,104 shares had been tendered (nearly the entire trust). Today’s announcement means that 3,704,122 shares remain with an approximately value of $38 million.
TKKS is chipping away at it and they now have an additional 10 days to improve those numbers even further. Stay tuned.

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.

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...
