Fat Projects (NASDAQ:FATP) and Jack Creek (NASDAQ:JCIC) each announced this morning that they were postponing their upcoming extension votes.
Jack Creek is moving its vote originally scheduled for today, January 12, at 10 am ET to the same time January 24. Fat Projects meanwhile is pushing its 9:30 am ET meeting today to 1 pm ET, January 13.
Fat Projects’ change has an extra wrinkle in that it is shrinking its contribution to trust from $0.0625 per share per month to $0.0575 per share. Its redemption deadline is to remain open until 11 am ET January 13. In its original IPO terms, Fat Projects could extend two times for three months each by depositing $0.15 per unit in trust.
Fat Projects does have a $135.7 million deal in hand, which it announced with software firm Avanseus on August 26. Jack Creek also has an $869 million combination with firefighting plane operator Bridger Aerospace that it is working to close. This is the second time it has pushed back the clock on its extension vote this week.
Fat Projects is trading well above its estimated trust value at $10.25 as of its most recent close while Jack Creek is lagging at $9.05 with the finish to Wednesday trading after it had passed it’s redemption deadline. It has rebounded +11.8% to $10.12 in the pre-market, just below its estimated pro rata trust value of $10.15, however.

Israeli tech firms have made up an outsized proportion of SPAC activity and despite the ongoing tensions in its region, that dealmaking is continuing unabated. In fact, the SPAC named for the particular mission of taking Israeli firms public through SPACs, Israel Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:ISRL) in fact just took one step closer in completing that...
At the SPAC of Dawn Although the market has largely recovered from a negative stretch last week, the roller coaster is tilted back downward for Trump Media (NASDAQ:DJT), which slid -8% yesterday to $32.57 – one of its lowest points since closing with Digital World last month. Other SPACs and de-SPACs are having a more...
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...
