Increases Deal Size to $600 Million.
Churchill Capital just filed an amended prospectus around 1:45PM today, increasing their deal size to $600 million. This most likely means pricing is off tonight since the $150 million increase is larger than a 20% upsize and therefore, it does not qualify for rule 462(b).
However, stranger things have happened and maybe Citigroup can get this through the SEC today and still price tonight.
Additionally, B. Riley FBR has been added as an underwriter. This is a nice cover for B. Riley and they’ll certainly be able to help out with rounding up a minimum of 350 round lot shareholders needed to comply with a NYSE listing.

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...
