SPAC gets a lease of life

The filing for Infinite Acquisition is a boom in SPAC activity. In recent months, it has been showing signs of slowing. These SPACs go public with only cash on their balance sheet and can IPO at any time. Thus, making them an attractive option for firms looking to exploit today’s capital markets context. Besides maintaining control over how much debt or equity they issue when going through this process.

SPACs have a 2-year timeframe to amalgamate or take private firms, allowing them the freedom of skipping out on an IPO process.

Infinite Acquisition hinted to rally 100% of public shares for cash. Yet, this would come if it hasn’t closed an initial market combination within 18 months after ending the offering. The company is confident that it can make this happen because its track record speaks for itself. So, there’s no reason why these funds should go to waste, which means a whole lot more money in your pocket.
