August SPAC-tacular: SPACs Party Like It’s 2020, But With A Sobering Hangover of Deal Breakups. VinFast Goes from SPAC Zero to Street Hero. Sustainability, Anyone?

TLDR:
– SPAC deals reached $9.1 billion in August with an average transaction size of $481 million, but eight deals were terminated, highlighting the risks involved.
– Vietnamese automaker VinFast saw a 254% surge in share price after going public, but concerns remain about the sustainability of its valuation due to limited public trading.

Well, folks, it looks like August was a bustling month in the casino, I mean, market, especially for Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs). These deals soared to $9.1 billion in total value with an average transaction size of $481 million. It’s like a SPAC festival with 19 new merry mergers announced. However, in the midst of this SPAC jamboree, we had a sobering reality check – eight deal terminations, taking us back to those lessons we all learned the hard way in the sandbox. Not every castle is destined for greatness, some are just…sand.

The star of the SPAC show, however, was VinFast (VFS). The Vietnamese automaker made a grand entrance into the public trading, transforming valuation concerns into a 254% surge in share price. The transformation was so dramatic, it felt like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly, or an ugly duckling into a swan, or…you get the picture. But let’s not get carried away here, there are still concerns about the sustainability of this Cinderella story. With public shares representing a mere 0.6% of VFS’s outstanding equity, one can’t help but wonder about the potential impact of limited public trading on the future share price dynamics.

Speaking of standout deals, SPAC CVII proposed a $1.58 billion merger with British private equity firm CorpAcq, and SPAC FNVT cut a cool $1 billion deal with the Chinese new energy vehicle maker, Scage International. But let’s not forget the fallen heroes. Eight contracts were signed off to the graveyard this month, making it the second-highest monthly total this year. One of them was SPAC GGAA’s $312-million deal with travel tech company NextTrip, which collapsed faster than a souffle in a loud kitchen.

Now, for some, the tale of VFS might come across as a beacon of hope in a sea of SPAC exuberance, or for the more cynical among us, an eerie echo of past hype. The company, initially valued at $27 billion, is now valued at a whopping $86 billion. That’s twice the market capitalization of titans like General Motors or Ford. But before we crown VFS the new king of the auto industry, let’s remember that the company only generated $83.5 million in revenue in the first quarter of the year. It’s safe to say that reaching the earnout target for the full year will be a herculean task.

As we watch this SPAC-infused drama unfold, let’s remember what our sage friend Robert Sasson from Water Tower Research noted. “Entering into a merger agreement is no guarantee that it will close.” So, while we revel in the glitz and glamour of these high-value deals, let’s also remember to keep a wary eye on the risks that lurk beneath. As the saying goes, all that glitters is not gold. Or in this case, all that SPACs may not necessarily yield profits. But hey, isn’t unpredictability the spice of business life?

Buckle Up Cyber Geeks: Yubico’s Sleek YubiKey X, Unexpected Apple Alliance, and a Glimpse Into A Secure Digital Future

TLDR:
Yubico emphasizes the importance of collaboration in the face of growing cyber threats.
Yubico is praised for their leadership and innovation in the cybersecurity industry.

Well, folks, I’m back from the mystical land of conferences and keynotes, where caffeine is the only currency and sleep is a myth. This time, I found myself in the high-octane world of cyber security. Sounds exciting, doesn’t it? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

It’s a noble sentiment, really. Because, you see, nothing bonds humanity like a common enemy. And in the digital front, this enemy doesn’t ride on horses or wave flags, no. It hides behind screens and code, striking when you least expect it.

Riding on their white horse of cutting-edge tech and collaboration, Yubico has once again claimed its throne as a leader in the cyber security industry, a shining beacon in a sea of digital storms. They’ve got us all on the edge of our seats, waiting with bated breath for their next groundbreaking innovation. And let me tell you, the suspense is just riveting.

But they’ve managed to do it, and they do it with style. So here’s to hoping that their future is as bright as the glare off your computer screen at 3 am.

And remember, in the world of business, the only constant is change. Let’s just hope the next change doesn’t involve us all becoming robots.

Slacker Streaming’s SPAC Sprint: Will They Make It to Market or Bump the Needle?

TLDR:
– Slacker streaming service is attempting to go public by merging with SPAC Roth CH Acquisition V Co, but shareholders are hesitant, leaving only $26.4 million available.
– The SPAC trend has been disappointing, with a decline in deals and poor performance for companies like Anghami, Deezer, Reservoir Media, and Alliance Entertainment.

Streaming service Slacker, apparently unsatisfied with living up to its namesake, is eager to beat the ticking clock and go public by merging with Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) Roth CH Acquisition V Co. This $160 million gamble is not without its own set of challenges, mind you. It seems a bunch of Roth’s shareholders decided to give the proverbial cold shoulder to the Slacker deal, leaving only about $26.4 million for the taking. To sweeten the pot, Roth has negotiated an irreversible agreement with shareholders, promising a whopping payout of 4 cents per share for each month of extension. It’s like a desperate plea at a high-stakes poker match: “Stay with me, folks, the best is yet to come!” Yet, the looming deadline on December 4th puts Slacker in a race against the grains of the hourglass.

SPACs, with their cart-before-the-horse approach, are a peculiar breed. They attract investors with the allure of an initial public offering (IPO), even before they’ve identified a suitable, high-growth company to take public. It’s like proposing to someone before the first date, all based on potential. And boy, did they grow like mushrooms in a moist forest, jumping from 55 in 2019 to an astonishing 610 in 2021. You’d think that with a $160.8 billion surge in money raised during that period, SPACs would have been the next gold rush. Well, not quite.

Truth be told, the SPAC trend has been more of a whimper than a bang. As Megan Penick, an attorney at Michelman & Robinson, delicately puts it, there are “too many SPACs, not enough suitable targets.” After a vigorous run in 2021, SPACs started losing steam in 2022, and 2023 hasn’t been looking too rosy either. In fact, the value of SPAC deals in the first half of 2023 amounted to only a tenth of the deals closed in the same period in 2021. In the face of disappointing prospects, some SPACs even chose to dissolve and return capital to shareholders. Talk about a change of heart!

To add insult to injury, SPACs haven’t exactly proven to be the golden goose for original investors. Consider the sobering trajectories of Abu Dhabi-based music streamer Anghami, French music streamer Deezer, and New York-based publisher and label Reservoir Media, all of which plummeted dramatically after merging with SPACs. And let’s not forget the unfortunate fate of Alliance Entertainment, which ended up trading over the counter after a series of redemptions left its partner SPAC, Adara Acquisition Corp, with a measly $1.7 million. It’s like they were left holding the short end of the stick.

So, as Slacker gears up for its date with destiny, one has to wonder: is this a stroke of genius or a last-ditch effort hustling towards a finish line that might not even be there? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Slacker seems unresponsive to our pleas for comment on the deal, perhaps embodying their brand name a little too well. Happy streaming, folks!

Unions, Strikes, and ‘Scary Robots’: SPAC King Calls Last Orders for Detroit’s Big Three

TLDR:
– SPAC King Chamath Palihapitiya believes that if the labor deal goes through, it will lead to the long-term insolvency of legacy automakers and the rise of non-unionized competitors like Tesla.
– The union demands, including a 40% increase in hourly pay over four years, would significantly increase labor costs for automakers and put them at a disadvantage compared to Tesla.

In a recent turn of events, SPAC King Chamath Palihapitiya offered his two cents on the United Auto Workers’ union strike, which has become a thorn in the side of Detroit’s Big Three — Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp., and Stellantis N.V. Palihapitiya, never the one to sugarcoat, suggested the unions were engaging in a metaphorical self-mutilation, deciding to “cut their nose off to spite their face.”

According to our resident Nostradamus, if the labor deal goes through, it will spell the apocalypse for legacy OEM automakers. The options they have, he says, are as cheerful as a heart attack – replace unionized humans with cold, unfeeling robots or bid adieu to unions. But then, he adds with a wry smile, neither of these options are remotely feasible.

Should this plan get the green light, Palihapitiya sees automakers hemorrhaging cash like a broken slot machine. This, he predicts, will be the dreaded “tipping point towards structural long-term insolvency.” He believes the capital markets will be more reluctant to let automakers raise long-term capital than a cat is to take a bath. Unless, of course, automakers are ready to cough up exorbitant rates.

But wait, there’s more! Palihapitiya seems to think that the fallout of this labor deal could supercharge the success of hyper-automated/non-unionized competitors like Tesla. As Ford, Stellantis, and others scramble to raise prices to cover the cost of the deal, Tesla would be free to aggressively lower prices and dominate the market.

So, what are these union demands that could instigate this automotive apocalypse? Well, for starters, a 40% increase in hourly pay over four years, a reduced 4-day, 32-hour workweek, faster path to top pay, return to the days of defined benefit pensions, cost-of-living adjustments, parental leave longer than a three-day weekend, and more paid holidays.

Just to put things into perspective, Ford mentioned that if these demands were in effect over the last four years, it would have lost a whopping $14.4 billion, instead of pocketing nearly $30 billion in profits. Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management noted that even if the automakers agree to a 25% pay hike, their manufacturing labor costs will be 40-45% higher than Tesla’s, leaving them at a distinct disadvantage. So, brace yourselves folks, it seems like the automotive industry might be in for a joyride.

“Party’s Over, Startups: 2023 Proxy Season Brings Major Audit Aches and Lots of Homework”

TLDR:
– Tax authorities are cracking down on transfer pricing and profit shifting, requiring companies to ensure transparent practices and thorough documentation.
– The 2023 Proxy Season highlights the need for strong internal controls, particularly in areas such as revenue recognition, lease accounting, and equity accounting. Investing in upgrades to internal controls is increasingly popular.

The COGS Cops are coming! And no, this isn’t the premise for a new action-packed comedy about an elite force of accountants. It’s a stark warning to companies engaging in transfer pricing and complex multinational businesses. These guys mean business, and they’re out hunting for tax violators like a vegan searching for the last tofu burger in a barbecue.

The launch of their campaign is not some lighthearted PR stunt. It’s as serious as a heart attack, or a sudden audit. It’s a reminder that tax authorities are now sporting night vision goggles, actively seeking out those who play fast and loose with terms like ‘arm’s length’. They’re no longer turning a blind eye to profit shifting. In other words, it’s no longer a free-for-all at the international tax buffet.

Here’s some free advice: Check your transfer pricing practices. Ensure they’re as transparent as your grandma’s cellophane-wrapped cookies. And for goodness’ sake, document everything. It seems the era of corporate tax leniency has gone the way of the dodo and the dinosaur – extinct! So, you might want to invest in a good internal review or two, basically anything that can help spot potential issues and take corrective actions. Because these COGS Cops aren’t easily fooled, and they’re not known for their light touch.

Meanwhile, in a plot twist that surprises no one, the 2023 Proxy Season reporting has highlighted the need for a proper handle on internal controls. It’s not exactly party time for audit committee chairs or the CFOs and accounting teams facing the enormous task of fixing these issues. Let’s just say it’s like trying to undo the chaos caused by a toddler in a toy shop.

Leading the charge in the restatement stakes are the usual suspects – revenue recognition, lease accounting, and equity accounting. These areas are like the unholy trinity for IPO / SPAC startups. Investing in upgrades to internal controls over financial reporting is becoming more popular than a politician promising lower taxes.

More importantly, never underestimate the power of a well-crafted internal audit roadmap. It’s like a well-oiled compass in a world of financial fog. And in the midst of all this, remember that speed-to-market reporting can quickly go from enthralling to excruciating. We’ve learned this the hard way, through a series of unfortunate accounting events, failed audits, and resultant shattered dreams.

So, as we gallop towards the end of the year, prepare for some more fun and games. Expect more scrutiny from the SEC and an increased oversight from the PCAOB, especially as IPOs and SPACs mature. The million-dollar question is, will the business plans pan out or will they crumble like an overbaked financier cake? And will the funding and accounting keep up, or will they be left behind like a runner with a bad stitch? Only time will tell.

“Mission Control, We Have an IPO: Spacy SPAC Gears Up to Change the Universe of Investing”

TLDR:
– Mission Control Acquisition Corporation is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO) priced at $10 per unit, totaling $100 million.
– Unlike most SPACs, Mission Control has an 18-month window to make their move, with an option to extend by another six months.

Well, folks, it appears we’ve got another company all geared up to blast off into the ever-expanding universe of space investment. Mission Control Acquisition Corporation is their name, and if that doesn’t scream “we’re taking over the cosmos”, I don’t know what does. They’re prepping for an initial public offering (IPO), which apparently is as trendy in the business world as avocado on toast is in hipster cafes.

The fascinating part is that they’ve set their price at $10 per unit with a total of 10 million units. If my grade school math serves me right, that sounds like a cool $100 million deal. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “that’s a lot of green”. And you’re right, it’s as if they’re planning to buy their way to the moon or something.

Unlike most standard SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies) that give themselves a tight 12-month window to make their move, Mission Control is opting for a leisurely 18-month stroll, with an option to extend that by another six months, because why rush when you’re just planning to take over the universe, right?

Meet Kira Blackwell, the CEO of Mission Control. This lady has spent time with NASA, and she’s not just been hanging around the coffee machine. She was the iTech Program Executive, which, in layman’s terms, means she’s a big deal. Now she’s at the helm of this SPAC, ready to push some serious boundaries in the space economy.

The space market has already skyrocketed from 2010 to 2022, and it looks set to double again this decade. If McKinsey and the World Economic Forum are to be believed, and they usually are, we could be looking at an industry worth a whopping $1 trillion by 2030. I guess the sky’s not the limit after all.

Now, SPACs had their moment of fame recently, going from the business equivalent of the guy in the back of the class to the star quarterback. The number of SPACs skyrocketed during the pandemic, with more than 600 SPAC deals in the IPO blockbuster year of 2021. But this year, they’ve only managed to make up 48% of new public offerings. It seems SPACs have become the old news, just like last year’s viral video.

But who knows? Maybe Mission Control Acquisition Corporation will change all that. After all, when you’re planning to conquer an industry projected to be worth $1 trillion, you might just stir things up a bit. Just remember, investors, in space, no one can hear you scream… about your investment returns.

Trump’s Truth Social-DWAC Merger Scores Bonus Season: Shareholders Vote for Year-Long Overtime in Negotiations

TLDR:
– Shareholders extend the negotiation period for the floundering merger of Trump’s Truth Social with DWAC, providing a lifeline and potential for a successful merger.
– The extension adds another year of suspense, drama, and uncertainty to the merger, with the outcome still unknown.

In an unforeseen turn of events that would make a Hollywood scriptwriter weep with envy, shareholders threw a last-minute lifeline to the floundering merger of former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC). The tag team of DWAC and Trump Media and Technology Group, caught in a plotline thick with allegations, fraud charges, and staff cuts, was given another year to prove their worth in a decision that must have had the suspense of a high-stakes poker game.

This is a tale of extended deadlines, a rescue operation on the brink of liquidation, and enough corporate drama to make the Wall Street wolves howl. With negotiations stalling and the specter of liquidation looming, shareholders made a daring move straight out of a boardroom thriller, extending the negotiation period by another year. What’s next? Will they call in Liam Neeson for a high-profile hostage negotiation? But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

The merger, with its whopping $300 million infusion from DWAC into Trump’s media company, has been circling the drain for over two years. DWAC, a special acquisition company, went the extra mile, lobbying their shareholders to turn back time, Cher-style, on the deadline. But unlike the pop diva’s hit, they weren’t singing about lost love, but lost investments.

Fraud allegations against DWAC by the Securities and Exchange Commission added a touch of dark intrigue to the story. A plot twist that would be more at home in a John Grisham novel than a business report. But in classic never-say-die fashion, both DWAC and Trump’s Media Group waved off the SEC’s charges and reaffirmed their commitment to sticking together like business peas in a corporate pod.

Despite the setbacks, the party isn’t over for DWAC and Trump Media and Technology Group. The vote to extend the deadline not only saved them from the brink but also breathed new life into the proposed merger. As in any suspenseful narrative, there’s still a chance for our protagonists to turn the tide and come out on top. The question is, will they, or is all this just a storm in a Wall Street teacup?

The extension offers another year of high-stakes drama, a life raft of sorts, keeping the merger afloat amidst a sea of uncertainty. Whether this act of faith by shareholders will lead to the birth of a resurgent media company or simply drag out the inevitable remains to be seen. In the meantime, keep your popcorn handy, because the Trump media empire saga promises to be an entertaining spectacle.

So brace for impact, fellow watchers of corporate drama. Another year of intrigue, suspense, and, fingers crossed, a few more plot twists in the rollercoaster ride that is the DWAC-Trump media merger. Whether this extension will bring about a happy ending or a disastrous finale, we’re all set for a year of boardroom suspense that will put Hollywood thrillers to shame.

Palantir Heads Play Pinocchio, SPACs It To Investors

TLDR:
Palantir Technologies sued for insider trading and misconduct by pension fund, causing damage to reputation.
Allegations of shady investments and questionable revenue reporting leave Palantir’s integrity and ethics in doubt.

Well, isn’t this a pickle? Palantir Technologies, the ever-so-transparent data analytics corporation, has been hit with a lawsuit. The unsuspecting plaintiff is a pension fund accusing Peter Thiel and a few other board members of insider trading and misconduct. I’m sure they were just playing a friendly game of ‘Monopoly,’ right?

These smart cookies allegedly jacked up the company’s stock price with a shopping spree of questionable investments with doomed blank-check companies. Meanwhile, they’re accused of raking in billions for themselves. Quite a clever trick, if only they hadn’t been caught. The lawsuit also names company president Stephen Cohen and CEO Alex Karp as co-conspirators. Now, isn’t that a nice little family gathering?

The pension fund is making a ruckus over claims that these high-ranking officials drove the analytics business to invest millions into special purpose acquisition companies. These were nothing more than glorified side deals that could be used to report revenue that Palantir would never see. Thiel, Cohen, and Karp must have been taking notes during the ‘Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room’ documentary.

These allegations have left quite a stain on Palantir’s reputation. Although, who knew they had a reputation to destroy? It begs the question – can you really tarnish what’s already rusted? Guess we’ll have to wait and see if they can buff out those scratches.

The lawsuit has thrown light on the shady world of insider trading and misconduct. The incident has left the business world in a state of shock. The integrity and ethics of Palantir have been called into question, and rightfully so. After all, there’s something fishy about the smell of burning stock shares in the morning. And it’s not the sweet smell of success, I can tell you that.

In the end, it goes to show, greed and deceit might be fun for a while, but good luck outrunning the long arm of the law while carrying those billion-dollar pockets. This should serve as a reminder folks, no matter how high you fly, the fall is always a doozy.

Rock On, Ricochet Rabbit: From Bike Tour to Touring with Guns N’ Roses, Dirty Honey’s Marc LaBelle Can’t Find the Brakes on Success

TLDR:
– Lead singer Marc LaBelle and his band Dirty Honey have achieved tremendous success in the music industry, including topping Billboard’s Mainstream and Hard Rock charts with their debut single.
– Despite the pandemic, Dirty Honey continued to work on their music, recording their new album in Australia and teasing fans with their new single “Won’t Take Me Alive.” They are set to embark on a headlining tour after their SPAC performance.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here tonight to discuss the enigma that is Marc LaBelle, lead singer of Dirty Honey, a band that’s been on a wild ride of success in recent years. Now, LaBelle is a man of many talents, one of which, apparently, is time management. Let me tell you why – between endless tours, recording sessions, and opening for Guns N’ Roses, the man still found time to pedal his way through British Columbia and Alberta. You have to admire a guy with that kind of dedication, a man who can play a high-octane rock show one night and then chase Canadian geese on a bicycle the next.

Now, Dirty Honey – don’t let the name fool you. They’re not peddling some kind of illicit honey. No, they’re a rock and roll band that has been making waves in the music scene. Despite not having a record deal, they managed to top Billboard’s Mainstream and Hard Rock charts with their debut single, “When I’m Gone.” Ironically, they were nowhere near ‘gone’ when they made that achievement. In fact, they were right here, smack in the middle of the limelight, making history.

LaBelle’s musical journey began in the least likely of places – at a SPAC concert, where he had his first taste of live music, courtesy of Aerosmith. It’s a little like getting your first driving lesson in a Lamborghini. Talk about setting the bar high! Taking a few guitar lessons and honing his singing skills, LaBelle was ready to unleash his talents. And unleash he did, culminating in Dirty Honey’s debut album and forthcoming follow-up, “Can’t Find the Brakes.” Although, with their relentless pace of success, it seems the band has no need for brakes at all.

Despite the pandemic-induced hiatus from touring, Dirty Honey kept their engines running, collaborating with renowned producer Nick DiDia, with whom they finally managed to share a room with this year in Australia. They recorded their new album there, and LaBelle described the process as “magical.” Presumably, it wasn’t the kind of magic that involves pulling rabbits out of hats, but rather, the kind that results in chart-topping rock anthems. Their new single “Won’t Take Me Alive” is already out, teasing fans with a taste of the upcoming album.

Now for those of you lucky enough to get tickets to their SPAC performance, where they’ll be playing some of these new tracks, LaBelle has some advice: get there early. We can only assume that punctuality is next to godliness in the world of rock and roll. Following their SPAC performance, the band will embark on a relentless headlining tour to celebrate their album’s release. One can only imagine how much itching LaBelle will be doing without two nights off.

Just when you thought the rollercoaster ride was over, LaBelle’s journey comes full circle, as he plans to attend a concert by his favorite bands, Aerosmith and The Black Crowes, right after the SPAC show. It’s like life handed him the perfect weekend: perform at SPAC, then zip off to see his favorite bands. So, to sum it all up, Marc LaBelle and his band Dirty Honey are living the rock and roll dream, with a side of Canadian bike tours. They’re concocting a unique blend of rock music, and it seems the world can’t get enough of their sweet nectar.
