“Flying High and Public: Volato Takes Off to the Stock Market with $261M Valuation and Some Crafty Financial Gymnastics”

Subspac -

TLDR:
– Volato, an eco-friendly aviation company, plans to go public via a $261 million blank-check deal backed by venture capital firm PROOF.vc.
– After the deal, Volato’s co-founder and CEO, Matt Liotta, will still hold 63.5% of the company, and the funding round was done before the agreement with PROOF Acquisition Corp. I.

Oh boy, it’s that time again – when we get to talk about companies trying to reach for the stars, or in this case, public trading. Volato, a company known for its eco-friendly flying tin cans, is planning to go public via a blank-check deal. Now, don’t get too excited, the value of the combined company is only a modest $261 million. It’s not like they’re pulling an Amazon or anything.

So, here’s the scoop: the deal involves a Series A funding round that closed in July. The round included PROOF.vc – a venture capital firm with a flair for investing in startups that have a knack for going public. They’re the ones backing the SPAC that’s merging with Volato, and in doing so, made sure to convert $38 million in earlier convertible notes into Series A preferred equity. They’ve got their fingers crossed, hoping this will add some much-needed certainty to the SPAC transaction.

Once the deal is sealed, Volato will be trading under the symbol SOAR. I mean, it’s bold. It’s like they’re not even trying to hide the fact that they’re a flying company. The man steering the ship, or rather, the airplane, is Matt Liotta, the co-founder and CEO. After the deal closes, Liotta and the other current owners will still hold onto a cool 63.5% of the company.

Now, this wouldn’t be a proper SPAC deal without some private investments in public equity, or PIPEs as the cool kids call them. But in a twist of events, Volato’s funding round happened before the agreement with PROOF Acquisition Corp. I. The funding round is typically made earlier in the startup cycle and this move seems to be an attempt to add a sense of security to the SPAC transaction.

The brains behind PROOF.vc, including the CEO of SPAC, John Backus, have a history of betting on the right horses. They’ve previously invested in companies like Beyond Meat Inc., Skillz Inc., and Carta Inc. Backus also advises the family office of Saudi Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud. I guess when you’re managing the wealth of a prince, investing in a public aviation company doesn’t seem too risky.

In its 2022 fiscal year, Volato raked in about $100 million in revenue. The company, which operates on a fractional ownership model, prides itself on their fleet of 18 four-seat, fuel-efficient HondaJets. They also have larger Gulfstream G280 jets for when you want to take your entire family or office of up to 10 on a trip. The company seems to cater to both the leisure and business travelers, offering flights from places like New York’s White Plains and Teterboro airports to vacation hotspots like Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Cod, and from Scottsdale and Las Vegas to Southern California. All for a starting fare of $5,000, not including taxes and fees, of course.

Well, folks, there you have it – your dose of aviation industry news, filled with SPACs, PIPEs and a company that’s ready to SOAR. Let’s see if this bird can really fly.

Hong Kong’s SPAC Aquila Acquisition Stops Beating Around the Bush, Bets Big on Struggling Online Steel Trader ZG Group

Subspac - Hong Kong's SPAC Aquila Acquisition Stops Beating Around the Bush, Bets Big on Struggling Online Steel Trader ZG Group

TLDR:
– Aquila Acquisition Corp. is set to acquire ZG Group, a domestic online steel trading platform in Hong Kong, despite the company’s continuous losses and high debt.
– ZG Group has potential for growth in the industry’s shift to digital channels, but requires a cash infusion to boost trading volume and reduce debt.

Well folks, we’ve got ourselves a modern steel fairy tale. After a courtship that felt longer than a pandemic lockdown, Aquila Acquisition Corp., Hong Kong’s first special acquisition purpose company (SPAC), has finally found its Cinderella to take to the ball. The belle of the ball, ZG Group, is set to become the first real company to be acquired by a Hong Kong SPAC. Doesn’t it just warm your heart?

Now, this isn’t just any ordinary Cinderella story. The glass slipper in this tale is a domestic online steel trading platform that seems to have a knack for losing money. In the past three years, ZG Group has made continuous losses totaling a whopping $169 million. Just this year, they reported a loss of $6.9 million in the first quarter. That’s more red than a stoplight convention.

But let’s give them some credit. They have been dealing with a steel market that’s been more unstable than a three-legged table. The pandemic, coupled with a downturn in China’s real estate market, hasn’t exactly made it easy. Even China’s economic recovery has been about as fast as a snail in a marathon, leading to a drop in steel prices.

Now, even though they’re in a pickle, ZG Group seems to have a few aces up their sleeve. They’re positioned to capitalize on the industry’s shift to digital channels, which could help reduce transaction costs. In fact, their platform has seen rapid growth since 2019, with steel trading increasing from 8.1 million tonnes to 36.2 million tonnes. The transaction value also saw a rise from $5.3 billion to $24.9 billion. Who knew steel could be so exciting?

However, to grow bigger and boost their trading volume, ZG Group needs a cash infusion. The company’s net debt as of March was a staggering $978 million, with cash and cash equivalents totaling only $69 million. But this is where the knight in shining armor, Aquila Acquisition, swoops in to save our damsel in distress. They’re not alone either. Ten Private Public Enterprise Investment (PIPE) companies have agreed to pump in $77 million into ZG Group, valuing the company at $1.3 billion.

But here’s where the plot thickens. This valuation is on a company that’s still losing money. Talk about a leap of faith. Only time will tell if this gamble pays off and if ZG Group can transition from a steel underdog to a steel titan.

This whole saga is expected to wrap up in the fourth quarter, at which point ZG Group will officially become a listed company in Hong Kong. The company’s major shareholders, led by the three co-founders, will own around 19.1% of the combined company’s stock and voting rights. The deal will also transition ZG Group from a two-class share structure to a single-class one.

In essence, this merger represents an opportunity for ZG Group to bolster their business and secure the necessary capital to ramp up trading volumes. It’s a high stakes game, but with their position in the steel market and growth potential, ZG Group could just be the underdog story we need in these trying times.

Narcan in the Can: Saratoga’s Innovative NaloxBoxes Set to Give the Boot to Opioid Crisis

Subspac - Narcan in the Can: Saratoga’s Innovative NaloxBoxes Set to Give the Boot to Opioid Crisis

TLDR:
– Saratoga County and Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) have joined forces to combat the opioid epidemic by placing NaloxBoxes, containing naloxone nasal spray, in public restrooms.
– The initiative aims to distribute a total of 35 NaloxBoxes throughout the county, funded by $9,134 from the Opioid Settlement Funds, to address the alarming rise in opioid-related overdoses and deaths in the area.

In a move that is pretty much unprecedented, Saratoga County and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) have joined forces to combat the opioid epidemic, with a bit of a twist. Remember those automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that hang on walls to save lives during cardiac emergencies? Well, they’re using a similar concept here, but instead of jolting hearts back to rhythm, they’re reversing opioid overdoses. Yes, you heard it right. NaloxBoxes, as they’re being called, are now available in the restrooms of the Pine and Pine Cone buildings at SPAC, right where you’d least expect, but probably most needed.

Now, you might be wondering what exactly a NaloxBox is. Well, it’s pretty much what it sounds like – a box filled with naloxone nasal spray, or Narcan as it’s often known. This life-saving drug has the power to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, targeting substances like heroin, prescription painkillers, and that nasty thing called fentanyl. The funny part? It’s still safe to use even if there are no opioids in the person’s system. But let’s not get carried away, folks – always dial 911 after administering Narcan.

Now, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The grand scheme involves distributing a total of 35 NaloxBoxes throughout the county, to be hosted by community organizations, businesses, and towns. They’re using their Substance Use Surveillance System to identify the most effective locations for these boxes. All of this is funded by the whopping $9,134 from the Opioid Settlement Funds. Talk about putting money to good use!

The driving force behind the initiative? An alarming rise in opioid-related overdoses and deaths in the area. The year 2023 has seen a 30% increase in drug-related fatalities in Saratoga County, compared to the same period in 2022. And, the zip code 12866, which includes Saratoga Springs, has had 109 non-fatal and fatal drug-related overdoses this year alone. To address this, the county pulled in about $1,156,700 in opioid settlement funds since last year.

All in all, Saratoga County and SPAC seem to have found a unique way to tackle a deadly problem. Public restrooms might not be the first place you’d think to look for life-saving equipment, but hey, if it works, it works. So, next time you’re taking a bathroom break at a concert, don’t be surprised if you see a NaloxBox next to the paper towel dispenser. It’s not just there for decoration; it’s there to possibly save a life. Now, isn’t that a movement we can all get behind?

US Pulls a Trade Switcheroo, Swaps Chinese Imports for Mexican Flavor – Global Economy Holds its Breath!

Subspac - US Pulls a Trade Switcheroo, Swaps Chinese Imports for Mexican Flavor - Global Economy Holds its Breath!

TLDR:
– The United States is shifting its import strategy away from China and towards Mexico, in an effort to diversify import partners and reduce reliance on China in the midst of strained trade relations.
– Tech companies like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia are also looking to move away from China and explore opportunities in Mexico, as a way to mitigate the risks of a potential trade war and boost their recovery.

Well, isn’t this a juicy taco of economic news? The United States, in a bold move that would make a salsa dancer proud, has sashayed past China in the race for Mexican imports. And get this, it’s the first time since 2023. Talk about a comeback! But why the sudden fondness for all things Mexican? It seems the US is trying to spice up their import game, not wanting all their eggs (or should I say, avocados?) in the Chinese basket.

As the economic tango between the US and China reaches fever pitch, data shared by Chamath Palihapitiya, the venture capitalist with a knack for turning complicated numbers into juicy gossip, reveals the strategy behind the salsa. With the current trade relations between the US and China colder than a leftover burrito, diversifying import partners could be the hot sauce the US economy needs.

This significant shift in import behavior is not an isolated incident, but part of a grander, strategic two-step. You see, Apple recently got a virtual slap in the face from China when iPhones were banned in government offices. That’s like telling the Kardashians they can’t take selfies. It’s no surprise that Apple’s stock took a belly flop. The company lost around $190 billion in market worth in just two days. That’s enough to buy everyone in the US a round of tequila shots and still have some change left over.

But don’t think it’s just Apple sobbing into its margarita. Other tech heavyweights like Tesla and Nvidia, who’ve been cozying up to China for years, are feeling the chill too. If a full-blown trade war breaks out, it could put the brakes on their recovery and squeeze their revenues. It’s like a late-night party when the cops show up – not good for anyone involved.

But let’s not get too gloomy here. The data hinting at a move away from China could be a silver lining in this trade war cloud. Take Tesla for example. Currently, they’re making about half of their electric cars in China, but they’ve recently started work on a Gigafactory in Mexico. That’s right, Musk is trading in dumplings for tacos, and it could be just the diversification strategy they need.

The rise of Mexico as a key trading partner for the US is the mariachi band in this economic fiesta. Thanks to NAFTA, the free trade agreement among the US, Canada, and Mexico, trading barriers are as low as a limbo stick at a beach party. This could create a thriving environment for businesses to expand their operations.

So, as we continue to salsa through the complexities of global trade, let’s remember that adaptability and resilience are key. Shaking up supply chains, diversifying import partners, and stepping out of our comfort zones might just be what keeps our economies spinning on the dance floor of global trade. Sure, there will be challenges and missteps along the way, but as long as we keep our sense of humor, we’ll be able to handle whatever the DJ throws our way.

Apple’s Latest Circus: iPhone 14, iWatch Breathalyzer and Apparently They’re Inventing Cars Now Too

Subspac - Apple's Latest Circus: iPhone 14, iWatch Breathalyzer and Apparently They're Inventing Cars Now Too

TLDR:
– Apple One is a bundled package of Apple services, including Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and Apple Fitness+.
– Apple One offers different tiers for different budgets, providing convenience but also tying every aspect of a user’s digital life to a single company.

Well folks, here we are again, with Apple’s latest ingenious contraption designed to pry open our wallets. They’ve just released Apple One, a cleverly bundled package of their services, designed to, as they put it, “simplify the user experience.” I bet you never thought your life was overly complicated until now, huh?

Delve into the marvel that is Apple One, and you’ll find the usual suspects: Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage and the new kid on the block, Apple Fitness+. They’re all there, like a digital Noah’s Ark. The idea here is that you’re saving money compared to subscribing to each service individually. I’ve always admired Apple’s gall; they have a unique knack for making us pay for things we didn’t even realize we needed.

And in true Silicon Valley fashion, Apple has developed different “tiers” for Apple One. Because in this brave new world, we wouldn’t want anyone feeling left out, or heavens forbid, equal. Whether you’re a cash-strapped student or a cash-splashing tycoon, Apple has a tier for you. It’s a case of the rich getting richer, and the not-so-rich, well, getting iCloud storage and Apple Fitness+.

Now, I can hear you asking, “But surely, this is just Apple making our lives easier and more convenient?” And you’d be right. As right as a person walking into a casino thinking they’ll leave richer. After all, nothing screams ‘convenience’ like having every aspect of your digital life tied to a single company.

In fact, Apple One is shaping up to be a veritable connoisseur of convenience. It’s convenience you can put a price tag on. It’s convenience you can sing along to with Apple Music. It’s convenience you can watch on Apple TV+. It’s convenience you can play on Apple Arcade. It’s convenience you can store in the iCloud. And it’s convenience you can sweat to with Apple Fitness+. That’s a lot of convenience for one subscription. I guess that’s why it’s called Apple One and not Apple Many.

Now, let’s shift gears from the perfectly polished Apple orchard and head over to the SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) jungle. You know SPACs, those blank-check companies that have become the Wall Street equivalent of a reality TV show. If you want to stay informed on the latest SPAC news, there’s a free newsletter just for you.

Sure, you could use the time you save by not scouring the internet for SPAC news to do something productive, like learning a new language or mastering the art of sourdough baking. But where’s the fun in that? Instead, dedicate your newfound free time to pondering the mysteries of the universe, like why we’re paying for a bundle of services from a company named after a fruit. Now, that’s a thought worth subscribing to.

“Saratoga Springs Soaks Up the Outlaw Spirit, Courtesy of Willie Nelson’s Badass Festival!”

Subspac -

TLDR:
– Willie Nelson, at 90 years old, continues to defy expectations and shine as the heart and soul of the Outlaw Fest.
– Despite challenges and setbacks, Nelson’s performance was a testament to his resilience and enduring talent.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Willie Nelson has done it again. At the spry age of 90, he’s outliving the average lifespan, and his career is doing the same. Coughs and slips of the microphone be damned, Nelson graced the stage at his Outlaw Fest, a Saratoga Springs summertime staple. Though the format deviated from previous years, sticking to business hours and featuring more established bands, Nelson remains the heart and soul of the festival. Isn’t that just like a seasoned performer?

But let’s not forget the supporting cast. Los Lobos, String Cheese Incident, and Bobby Weir and the Wolf Bros Band warmed up the stage before Nelson strutted on at 10 pm. With 50-degree temperatures, folks were bundling up like they were going on a late-night ice cream run. Now there’s a thought: Willie Nelson and an ice cream cone. Add in the tie-dye and it’s basically Woodstock 2.0.

The early birds got a treat with Los Lobos’ passionate and precise set, while the String Cheese Incident managed to combine Americana style with jam music. Who knew cheese and jam would go so well together? Bobby Weir and his Wolf Bros Band had fans shaking their tail feathers to unique renditions of Grateful Dead classics, proving once again that you can teach an old dog new tricks—or at least new arrangements.

But let’s get back to our man of the hour—or two, in Nelson’s case. Despite his son Micah falling ill and his other son Lucas off touring with his own band, Nelson sauntered onto that stage with the confidence of a catwalk model. He was flanked by his ever-loyal band “The Family,” and the harmonica echoes of Mickey Raphael filled the air. You’d think the guy was trying to summon the spirit of the Wild West.

Despite the occasional cough and microphone slip that added more suspense than any thriller movie, Nelson crooned advice to mothers about steering their sons clear of the cowboy life. The spirit of Waylon Jennings hung in the air as he covered “Good Hearted Woman,” reminding us all that love is not just a feeling but an act. Nelson is a real-life testament to the adage, “Age is just a number.”

Willie Nelson is not just a musician; he’s a symbol of resilience, a beacon of hope for aging rockers everywhere. Let’s hope he continues gracing us with his presence and his music for as long as he can strum that trusty guitar of his. After all, he’s Willie Nelson, and age has nothing on him. So remember, next time you get a chance to see Willie Nelson live, don’t just go, sprint!

“More Time Please! Inception Growth Acquisition Charms Its Way to Deadline Extension (and Deposits $100K Just Because)”

Subspac -

TLDR:
– Inception Growth Acquisition Limited has repeatedly extended their deadline to complete a business combination, each extension costing them $100,000 or a complex math game.
– The company’s willingness to continuously pay to extend the deadline showcases their commitment or desperation, but raises questions about the value of the eventual outcome.

Well, folks, it seems like our good buddies over at Inception Growth Acquisition Limited have found themselves a magic button, one that apparently keeps extending their deadline to complete a business combination. They’ve pushed it back to October 13, and guess what? They’ve got the green light to keep slapping that snooze button all the way ’til June 13. Guess someone over there really likes sleeping in.

Now, here’s the kicker. Every time they hit that button, they either have to fork over a $100,000, or play some confusing math game where they multiply 4 cents by the number of shares of common stock issued in their initial public offering. I’m no mathematician, but that sounds like a pretty penny to me. I guess Inception Growth Acquisition Limited is putting their money where their mouth is, or more accurately, into their trust account.

This is the same company, mind you, that prides itself on growing by “pushing boundaries”. Well, they’re certainly pushing something here – the deadline. But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe they’re just using this time to perfect their revolution of the business landscape. I mean, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Or perhaps we should see this as a sign of their commitment. They’re willing to cough up a suitcase full of cash every month just to buy themselves more time. That’s some serious dedication, or desperation, depending on how you look at it.

But let’s not forget, this is a special-purpose acquisition company we’re talking about here. And what’s more special than a company that can keep moving its own goalposts without breaking a sweat? It’s like a football team with a secret weapon: a bulldozer that keeps moving the end zone further away.

So, ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your hats and don’t let the suspense kill you. Come October, or maybe June, we might just witness a revolution. The question is, will it be worth the wait? Or will it end up being just another expensive game of kick the can down the road? Only time, and a whole lot of money, will tell.

“ZG Group Steels the Show: First-Ever Hong Kong SPAC Merger with Aquila Acquisition”

Subspac -

TLDR:
– ZG Group is set to merge with Aquila Acquisition in Hong Kong’s first-ever SPAC merger, with a dowry of $1.27 billion.
– Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Authority has set rules that only professional investors can trade SPAC shares, while retail investors can join after the merger.

Well, gather round, folks. Here’s a spicy tale from the financial front lines. Our protagonist, ZG Group, a company that has elevated steel trading to an online art form, is all set to tie the knot with Aquila Acquisition in Hong Kong’s first-ever SPAC merger. The wedding guests are already toasting to the bride’s dowry – a mammoth $1.27 billion, to be precise. This matrimony is more than just a corporate love story; it’s a monumental leap for Hong Kong’s financial market.

Now, for the uninitiated, ZG Group isn’t just another tech company, oh no. These wizards have turned the traditional, and dare I say, boring steel industry into a veritable tech playground. They’ve digitized everything from trading and warehousing to logistics and processing. Steel transactions have never had it so good, or so efficient. With the backing of deep-pocketed investors – including a subsidiary of the commodities trading giant, Trafigura Group – they’re ready to ride the SPAC wave all the way to the public market.

For those still stuck in the pre-digital era, SPACs, or Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, are the latest Wall Street darlings. They’re like corporate matchmakers, connecting private companies with public investors. Not a bad gig if you can get it. ZG Group’s new partner, Aquila Acquisition, has the honor of being the first SPAC to list itself on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

But, here’s the kicker. Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Authority, the gatekeeper, has laid down a few ground rules. Only the big players, the professional investors, can trade SPAC shares. The everyday folks, the retail investors, can only join the party after the merger is complete. Must be fun to watch from the sidelines, huh?

A word of caution though, before ZG Group and Aquila Acquisition can ride off into the stock market sunset, they’ve got to clear a few regulatory hurdles. They’ll need a green light from both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the China Securities Regulatory Commission. It’s like getting approval from both sets of in-laws.

In short, ZG Group’s upcoming nuptials with Aquila Acquisition is a financial landmark, a potential game-changer for Hong Kong’s market. It not only solidifies Hong Kong’s reputation as a hotbed for financial innovation, but also sets the stage for other companies to follow in their footsteps. Who knows, we might be witnessing the steel industry’s version of a fairy-tale ending. So, grab your popcorn and keep your eyes on this one, because steel trading in Hong Kong is about to get a lot more interesting.

SPACs in Snack: As Court Rumbles, the era of ‘Fly-by-night IPOs’ is on the Brink!

Subspac - SPACs in Snack: As Court Rumbles, the era of 'Fly-by-night IPOs' is on the Brink!

TLDR:
– Delaware Court of Chancery is scrutinizing SPAC deals, leading to legal challenges and potential consequences for sponsors.
– SPACs face an avalanche of litigation as their popularity and transactions increase, signaling the end of fast and loose deals and the need for accurate disclosure.

Well, well, well. It seems like the SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies) are getting a taste of their own medicine. You know, those magical entities that have no tangible assets, no business operations, yet somehow manage to raise a fortune through Initial Public Offerings for the sole purpose of acquiring an existing company—like some financial Frankenstein’s monster. Once the darlings of the finance industry, they’re now facing an onslaught of legal challenges. You’d almost feel sorry for them… if they weren’t made of money.

The Delaware Court of Chancery, the judicial equivalent of your high school English teacher with an unhealthy obsession with red pens, is scrutinizing these SPAC deals. They’re bringing down the hammer on questionable disclosures and hastily arranged mergers. Like a disappointing season finale, the honeymoon phase for SPACs is over, and the divorce proceedings are just getting started.

The recent court decisions underline the uphill battle defendants may face in SPAC-related lawsuits, especially when breach of fiduciary duty claims are involved. It’s like the court is saying “You wanted to play in the big leagues, now deal with the big league problems.” So, for the SPAC sponsors who are responsible for administering these financial behemoths, it’s probably not the best time to start planning that yacht purchase.

In 2021, SPACs were responsible for over 30% of all transactions that took companies public. That’s a lot of money being thrown around, and just like your eccentric uncle at the family reunion, it was only a matter of time before they drew attention to themselves. Now they’re facing the consequences of their popularity: an avalanche of SPAC-related litigation.

But let’s look on the bright side. The landscape of SPACs is evolving. The expectations and obligations for those involved are changing, much like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. But instead of wings, they might grow a pair of litigious antennae. The days of fast and loose SPAC deals are coming to an end.

In this brave new world of finance, accurate and complete disclosure will be the name of the game. It’s like a new episode of a reality show: Will SPACs survive this transition and emerge stronger? Or will they descend into obscurity, relegated to the annals of financial history alongside the likes of tulip mania and the dot-com bubble? Stay tuned, because one thing is for sure: SPACs as we know them are evolving, and we’re all just spectators in this riveting drama.
