SpacBrain’s read
Trust settled
The deal closed — SPAC shares became the target's shares, so there is no trust left to redeem (nobody missed a window; holders who wanted cash elected it at the vote).
In plain terms
- What it is
- A SPAC from Acamar Partners Sponsor I LLC, listed on Nasdaq in February 2019.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy CarLotz, Inc.. That purchase completed, and it stopped being a SPAC — the shares became shares in the business it bought.
- What you should know
- This SPAC has finished. The purchase completed, and the shares became shares in the company it bought — anyone who wanted the cash instead asked for it at the vote, so there is no cash left here to claim and no deadline left to miss.

This vehicle has finished, so there is no window to file a cash-per-share figure for and none will follow. No estimate is shown in its place.
Nothing dated is on file. That is an absence in the record, not a statement that nothing is coming.
Yield to redemption
Nothing left to redeem — no yield to compute.
This SPAC has finished — its trust was paid back or used to close the deal, so there is nothing left to redeem and no yield to compute. A yield to redemption is a claim that you can hand these shares back for the trust cash. That account is closed, so this page will not print a number here.
What happened to the cash

The score
deterministic, from filed fieldsACAM is not in the scored universe, so no score is shown. A withheld score is a fact about the record, not a verdict about the company.
The score is only published for names that carry both a price and a filed cash-per-share figure — 295 of the tracked fleet today. The rest keep an empty dial rather than a modelled one, and fill in by themselves as the fields land.
The company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker LOTZ. The company priced its initial public offering on February 22, 2019, under SEC file number 333-229157, and was classified under SEC SIC industry code 5500. It completed a business combination and no longer files as a separate entity. On December 9, 2022, Form 25 was filed indicating the shares evidenced other securities in substitution, with Shift Technologies, Inc. (SFTGQ) as the successor registrant. EDGAR now files the company's CIK as CarLotz, Inc.
Material findings
from the full read of every filingEvery document this company files gets read whole — body and exhibits. These are the ones the read flagged as material, newest first, each citing its filing.
For legacy Acamar holders who rolled into CarLotz, this is an all-stock combination with another distressed used-car platform rather than a cash exit, so their position converts into roughly 47.11% of a merged company on a fully diluted basis. There is no trust and no redemption right left, so the only choice is to vote or sell in the market. Two loss-making retailers combining is a consolidation-under-pressure transaction, and the accompanying charter amendment to Shift's certificate signals further capital structure changes ahead.
The filing states that CarLotz stockholders are rolling over 95.4% of their ownership into New CarLotz, so very little is taken off the table in cash. Options held by employees, officers and directors are exchanged for 5,532,881 new options on a value-neutral basis, and Acamar Partners hedges that obligation by holding back 5,080,181 shares of the stock consideration as treasury stock, calculated on a net share settled basis at $10.00 per share. Up to 7,500,000 further shares are payable as contingent consideration if certain share price triggers are met.
The $750.0 million enterprise value is mostly rolled rather than paid: $33.0 million of cash to equityholders and $37.0 million to the preferred holder as a liquidation preference, against $680.0 million in stock at $10.00 per share, which the filing states means CarLotz stockholders roll over 95.4% of their ownership. Up to 7,500,000 further Class A shares are contingent on share price triggers. Employee options become 5,532,881 new options, hedged by holding 5,080,181 shares of the stock consideration as treasury stock.
The consideration is a mix, and the filing gives its current estimate per CarLotz share: $4.946 in cash, 10.1927 shares of Acamar Partners Class A common stock, and a contingent, non-assignable right to a further 1.1242 shares. Holders of CarLotz Series A preferred receive that same package plus $18.1775 per share in cash for the liquidation preference, so the preferred is satisfied in cash ahead of the common's mix. The registered 80,000,000 shares expressly include shares issuable under the earn-out provisions of the merger agreement.

A missing score, not a score of zero — why
A Sponsor Score is only published once the sponsor’s prior vehicles have been verified on EDGAR and their post-close outcomes priced. That record does not exist for this sponsor yet, so no number and no tier is shown. That is a missing score, not a score of zero — and not a neutral 50 either.

In plain English
tap a term to open itEvery piece of jargon this page could have used, and what it actually means.
Open the plain-English guide
No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected
A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.
Redemption deadlinethe last day to hand shares back for cash
Set by the filing that calls the meeting. Tender after it and the company is under no obligation to pay you the trust value.
Broker action datethe day your broker needs the instruction — earlier than the official date
Brokers batch redemption instructions to the transfer agent, so the practical cutoff is roughly two business days before the published deadline. This is the date that actually costs people the floor.
Cash in trust / trust per sharethe cash the company is holding for each public share
Filed quarterly in the 10-Q's XBRL. It earns interest between filings, so the figure on a given day is slightly higher than the last filed one — where we show that we label it an estimate.
Trust discountbuying below the cash held for you
Only meaningful while a redemption right exists. On a floorless name the same arithmetic is not a discount, it is the market pricing distress, and this product will not call it a yield.
Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you
Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.
Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes
The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.
ARShow much upside you get per unit of downside
SpacBrain's asymmetric-return score. It is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same number — and it is capped, not zeroed, when the floor is gone.
De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company
The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.
Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal
A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.
Accession numberthe SEC's unique id for one filing
Every figure on this page carries the accession of the filing that states it, so you can open the primary document rather than trust us.
Accreted NAV (estimate)the last filed cash figure, plus the interest it should have earned since
A model, not a filing: last filed value compounded at the 3-month T-bill for the days elapsed. Always shown in italic with the word estimate, and never printed beside a filed number without it.

admitted from EDGAR's QUARTERLY FORM INDEX, walked without any SIC filter. The SIC 6770 census could not reach this registrant: EDGAR reassigns a shell's SIC the day it stops being one, and this CIK now files under 5500 (Retail-Auto Dealers & Gasoline Stations). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2019-01-08 → 8-A12B 2019-02-21 → 424B4 2019-02-22 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts.

The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-229157, which belongs to S-1 0001571049-19-000010 (2019-01-08) — a registration of shares sold for CASH, which is what makes it an IPO rather than merger consideration. Blank-check status from the registrant's own first-person sentence in that prospectus (EDGAR full-text search, 424B4 2019-02-22). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per Form 25 0001354457-22-000704 (2022-12-09) — Form 25 filed under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3) — the rule for securities that "have come to evidence other securities in substitution therefor", i.e. the shares became the successor's (class: Warrant); the successor registrant SHIFT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (SFTGQ) (CIK 0001762322) filed an 8-K carrying item 2.01 (Completion of Acquisition) naming "Acamar Partners Acquisition Corp." — the SPAC merged into a new registrant and so filed no closing report of its own. EDGAR now files this CIK as "CarLotz, Inc." — the SPAC's own name is kept here and the successor is the target. ipoSizeM and deadline left NULL: gross-proceeds prose conflates the over-allotment with the offering, and a charter deadline belonging to a vehicle that has ended is a date nobody can act on. ipoDate is the 424B pricing date.
