We have been given some exclusive coverage on the recent developments in special purpose acquisition companies and blank check companies from SPACupdate.com this morning.
Exceed Co. (NASDAQ: EDS), the Chinese apparel maker brought public through 2020 ChinaCap Acquiro, announced that it will accept warrants in exchange for shares on a 3.96:1 basis. The deal offers warrant holders a quick, guaranteed option into the company’s shares and to Exceed execs, to them it offers a quick chance to curb dilution. The offer begins Nov. 30, and will continue for 20 business days after; at the end of the offer, Exceed warrants’ old rules revert back into place.
Next week’s deal has Tremisis Energy Acquisition II (AMEX: TGY) looking to bring public Asiana IDT, a Korean information technology firm, on Dec. 1. The SPAC is one of two that were redirected by Sang Chul-Kim when the Korean businessman assumed control; North Shore Acquisition (OTC: NSAQ) is his other buyout vehicle. That SPAC has until Dec. 5 to complete its merger, although it aims to extend that until March 2010.
Camden Learning (OTC: CAEL) completed its deal to buy National American University, an online college operator. The SPAC’s success came on an $8 million forward contract with an unnamed investor; it looks as if there is another player in the blank check market looking to fill Victory Park Capital Advisors’ shoes.
