HumanCo Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: HMCO) announced today that, due to its anticipated inability to complete a business combination, it intends to dissolve and liquidate. As of the close of business on December 1, the shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount of $10.08.

Ultimately, however, we were unable reach a deal with a target company that we were confident would result in a successful business combination. We remained committed to the best interests of our shareholders, and are therefore returning the capital held in the trust account,” stated Ross Berman, CEO of HumanCo Acquisition Corp.
“Current market conditions have also convinced us that the best way to deliver on our promise to shareholders is to return the capital held in trust,” added HumanCo Acquisition Corp.’s Executive Chairman, Jason H. Karp.
