Episode Synopsis
“Shareholder Vote & Redemption Window”Welcome back to The SPAC Podcast. We’re almost at the final stage of our SPECIAL series.So far, we’ve covered:S: Sponsor SetupP: Public RaiseE: Evaluate TargetsC: Combination PlanningI: Investor EngagementNow we’re at A: Approval Process.After marketing and regulatory filings, the deal goes to a shareholder vote. Public shareholders can choose to redeem their shares for their portion of the trust — with interest — regardless of whether they vote for or against the deal.Because of this, redemption risk is a key concern. PIPEs, backstop agreements, and minimum cash conditions all play a role in ensuring deal certainty.Once the vote is passed and redemptions are handled, the deal is nearly complete.
