Devin Nunes, a representative for California's 22nd congressional district, noted plans to retire from Congress and reports are that he will head up Trump's social media company Trump Media & Technology Group. A major announcement for the company that had previously given out little to no information and is said to be merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC).
This comes on the heels of two other major newsworthy items for DWAC today:
- disclosure in an 8-K that they are being probed by SEC for potential violations
- filed an investor presentation on the heels of announcing a $1B PIPE over the weekend
Still not a ton of detail on how exactly the company aims to hit on its visions (there are a ton of literal "?s" in the presentation) but they are projecting 81M users and over $3.5B in revenue by the end of 2026.
DWAC is still trading at a massive premium closing the day at $43.80 and up in after-market trading on the Nunes news.
Elsewhere in SPACs
Pathfinder Acquisition (PFDR) and Service Max mutually agreed to terminate their SPAC deal citing weaker market conditions. This marks the 6th SPAC deal to be terminated since just November.
Vickers Vantage Corp I (VCKA) entered into an LOI to take Scilex Holding Company public. Scilex is a subsidiary of Sorrento Therapeutics (SRNE). The transaction values the biopharma at over $1B. VCKA barely moved on the day, slightly down.
Hagerty, Inc. (HGTY) fell 2.69% on its first day of trading as HGTY following completion of its SPAC deal with Aldel Financial Inc. (ADF). Shares are still well above $10 at $15.20.
CBRE Acquisition Holdings (CBAH) shareholders approved its merger with Altus Power. Deal will close on 12/9 and trade as AMPS on 12/10. The company is allowing redemption withdrawals by 12/8. CBAH closed at $10.03.
Speaking of the SEC, Lucid Group (LCID) is facing its own SEC probe. Shares took a 5% tumble.
