Megalith Financial Acquisition Corporation (NYSE:MFAC) announced that its shareholders approved its combination with digital banking company BankMobile at a special meeting yesterday.
Just 500 shares were redeemed in connection with the vote and even this amount was surprising given that Megalith opened at $13.88 ahead of the meeting and had an estimated $10.43 per share in trust. The SPAC will still have more than $27.6 million left in its trust, and is clearly not at risk of dropping below its deal’s $10 million minimum cash threshold.
The parties expect to close the transaction on January 4, 2021.
Megalith initially announced its $140 million deal with BankMobile August 6. It provides digital banking and payments services for institutions with a primary focus on universities.
The business combination and all other measures up for a vote passed nearly unanimously, but just over 1% voted against measures increasing the number of votes required to change the combined entity’s Board or bylaws.

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...
