Allegro Merger Corp. Filed an Amended S-1 this Afternoon with Some Notable Changes.
In addition to bringing on Chardan Capital Markets as a co-manager, Allegro Merger Corp. changed its Rights Terms to reflect holders receiving one-tenth (1/10) of a share versus the originally stated one-twentieth (1/20). Allegro had been the first SPAC to deviate from the standard 1/10th, but it appears 1/20th was not well received. Hence, the change. Additionally, the time to completion deadline has been shortened from 21 months to 18 months.
The filing also shows Chardan will now be participating in the purchase of Private Placement Units. Previously, Cantor had committed to purchasing 50,000 units of the total 372,500 units, at a purchase price of $10.00. The 50,000 units will now be split between Cantor and Chardan, except there appears to be a mistake in the prospectus. The Underwriting section lists Cantor as purchasing 38,250 units and Chardan 11,250. However, that only adds up to 49,500 units. I’m sure this will be corrected in future filings, but for now we have it listed, as is, below until we get confirmation on the numbers.
New Summary Terms:
- Sector Focus: General / Broad
- $10.00 unit comprised of one share of common stock, one right and one full warrant
- Each right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share
- 100% held in trust ($10.00 per share)
- 18 months to complete an acquisition
- Warrant redemption price: $18.00
- Redemption rights: limitation of 20% of the shares sold in the IPO
- Founders, Cantor Fitzgerald and Chardan (the Underwriters) to purchase 372,500 Private Placement units at $10.00 to bring the trust to 100% (Founders – 322,500 units / Cantor – 38,250 units / Chardan – 11,250)
- Underwriter fees: 2.0% + 3.5% deferred fee. Cantor Fitzgerald is sole book-runner.
At the SPAC of Dawn As a rough week in the market comes to a close, at least one de-SPAC has some cause to show off. Many fashion brands were among the hard hit in recent days and not simply for macro reasons. Luis Vuitton-owner LVMH (PA:MC) dropped this week after an earnings miss led...
Shepherd Ave Capital Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: SPHAU) is the latest SPAC to file to IPO, making 24 new registration statements that have filed since June 1, 2024. So far, only two of those 24 have gone public, but it does indicate an active August. In SPACLand at least, August is never slow. As for Shepherd...
At the SPAC of Dawn SPACs have now priced 20 IPOs seven months into 2024 with an eye on beating 2023’s total of 31 IPOs. With a little more than 5 months left in the year, it’s expected that SPACs should at least match that number by only needing to price roughly two IPOs per...
