The Weekly SPAC Review & Friday's Update
Recapping the SPAC action of the previous week + the detailed update from Friday's activity
Good morning!
If you are receiving this newsletter for the first time, welcome! You will find the Weekly SPAC Review in the first section below followed by an update on Friday’s SPAC activity.
While Friday's update is included in this Weekly newsletter, the other daily updates (covering Mon-Thurs activity) are sent in our SPAC Morning Update newsletter to ListingTrack Pro users on the morning of each trading day.
Transition Reminder:
SPAC Track will soon be ListingTrack! Our users now enjoy an improved user experience and access to a significantly broader dataset covering initial public listings, including traditional IPOs, SPACs, spinoffs, direct listings, as well as pre-IPOs, at Listingtrack.io. This is all in addition to retaining all of the coverage provided by SPAC Track.
Starting on August 1, the Spactrack.io URL will re-route users to the revamped site at Listingtrack.io, and the new home for SPACs will be ListingTrack’s SPAC Hub.
