GORDON POINTE ACQUISITION CORP. (GPAQ)
Last Thursday, May 14th, Gordon Pointe Acquisition Corp. (GPAQ), held their shareholder vote to extend their completion deadline to June 15th, with an option to further extend to July 15th (if they need it). GPAQ will now be looking to close their combination with HOF Village, the football “Hall of Fame Village”, as soon as possible.
The good news is, all things considered, GPAQ had a pretty good extension vote with 658,072 shares opting to redeem at a per share price of ~$10.77, or $7.1 million total. That leaves approximately $31.1 million in the trust, including the $114,937.76 ($0.04 per share) the sponsors contributed for non-redeeming shareholders. This is down from the approximate $38.0 million held in trust going into the vote.
We don’t have a shareholder vote date set just yet, but considering GPAQ only has, at most, a little less than two months to go, a new proxy should be filed shortly.

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...
At the SPAC of Dawn As April’s sleepy month for SPAC news continues, there is only one special meeting on the docket to consider a SPAC deal approval, that being today’s vote on Pegasus Digital Mobility‘s (NYSE:PGSS) combination with equipment manufacturer Schmid. Three more SPACs are facing extension votes this week, including Pyrophyte (NYSE:PHYT), whose...
