The #SPAC market is showing renewed momentum, but the economics of getting a deal across the finish line have changed considerably.
With more SPACs searching for targets and more companies considering the public markets, the opportunity is definitely there. But the challenge is making sure the financing holds up when shareholders have the option to redeem.
A signed #merger agreement doesnt guarantee the cash needed to close.
In my latest article with Eric Chow and Alexandre Camargo Turqueto for Foley & Lardner LLP, we look at the financing structures, redemption risks, and sponsor incentives shaping this next chapter of the SPAC market.

Cantor Equity Partners I $CEPO terminates its crypto treasury deal with BSTR.
CEPO gets a $15M termination fee, but they only have less than 5 months left on their clock to find a new target company. Deadline is currently early Jan 2027.
Plus, the Cantor Equity Partners team already has four other SPACs out searching with significantly more time left making those terms more attractive to potential targets compared to CEPO.
As a result, there's a possibility CEPO liquidates (like Churchill IX). Keep in mind that if CEPO eventually does liquidate, the sponsor already stated they would contribute $0.15 per share to redemption events on top of what is already held in trust. Part of that $15M termination fee would probably help pay for that.

Trump Media scraps its CRO treasury venture with Crypto(.)com
Trump Media, @cryptocom, and SPAC Yorkville Acquisition have mutually terminated plans for Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, the venture pitched last year as the first and largest publicly traded $CRO treasury company. A related services deal and digital asset products are also dropped, with the firms citing market conditions and shifting priorities.
Interim CEO Kevin McGurn, speaking to Axios, said the treasury sector became saturated and denied regulatory optics drove the exit. Truth Social's prediction market plans shrink to a marketing deal promoting Cryptocom's products, as the company refocuses on its media arm, data licensing, and the pending TAE fusion merger.

In light of tZERO's allegations of patent infringement, today we filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware seeking a declaratory judgment confirming that we do not infringe.
tZERO’s allegations are without merit and run counter to the spirit of fair play that defines our industry at its best. We will vigorously defend ourselves against these and any other meritless claims.
We look forward to responding to tZERO in court while continuing to build products that solve real challenges and earn the trust of industry leaders.
