VPCB nixes Kredivo merger. And all the day’s news in SPACs.
DWAC nosedives amidst scant details
Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) proves that what goes up, must go down. After a meteoric run to almost $100, up from a $10 IPO price in September 2021, shares have reversed sharply. DWAC shares declined 13% today, closing at $61.99. Created by the year-old Trump Media & Technology Group, Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, launched, in limited form, on the US Apple App store in an aptly-timed President’s Day launch. However, a combination of performance hiccups and still no word from Mr. Trump have left momentum investors heading for the exits.
DWAC: Look out below
We previously pointed out the onerous PIPE terms and the stock’s unjustifiable valuation, which as of today, still hovers at a lofty ~2.2 billion. Note that should DWAC shares continue their downward spiral, the $56 level represents a key potential dilutive event owing to the convert structure. If the average price falls below $56, the conversion price is adjusted 40% lower to as low as $10 per share, which would mean the holders of the preferred stock could be converted into 100 million shares.

VPCB and Kredivo terminate merger
This week’s merger terminations got off to an early start. VPC Impact Acquisition (VPCB) and Indonesia-based AI-enabled consumer credit platform FinnAccel (Kredivo) announced termination of their merger. Kredivo is getting a private funding round from VPCB. VPCB is “considering future options, including seeking an alternative business combination.” This is the 13th SPAC deal to be cancelled in 2022.
