Opes Acquisition Corp. (OPES)
Opes Acquisition Corp. (OPES) filed an 8-K this afternoon detailing the results of yesterday’s shareholder vote to extend their completion deadline from September 16, 2020 to November 15, 2020. The extension amendment was approved by a wide margin and the company will not be making any contribution to trust going forward.
Furthermore, just 497 shares opted to redeem ahead of the Special Meeting taking a negligible sum from Opes’ trust. It has an estimated $10.66 in per share in trust – about $48.4m in total – but finished trading today at $13.65. Although the company received 36,533 votes against the two-month extension, it appears this minority is prepared to wait it out.
Opes announced its $143 million combination with fast casual chain BurgerFi June 30, but teased a letter-of-intent with the franchise June 8. By asking for just two months more, it appears that this SPAC combo with a side of fries is nearing its close.

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...
