PropTech Investment II (NASDAQ:PTIC) announced this afternoon that its shareholders have approved its business combination with rental marketplace Appreciate during a special meeting held earlier today.
The SPAC did not disclose redemption amounts, but shares of PTIC traded above its trust value of $10 throughout its redemption deadline November 16. PTIC’s share price has since come down slightly and closed at $9.73 today.
PropTech Investment II initially funded the deal with $230 million from its trust supplemented by a $100 million committed equity facility funded by CF Principal, an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald.
The parties now expect to close the transaction on November 22. Following the closing, the combined company will be renamed “Appreciate Holdings, Inc.” and its common stock and warrants will begin trading on November 23, on The Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “SFR” and “SFRWW”, respectively.
