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 Ajax I Holdings, LLC, listed on NYSE in October 2020.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed in July 2021 to buy Cazoo Holdings Limited, an Online used car marketplace company. The deal valued that business at about $7.00B. 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.

The score
deterministic, from filed fieldsAJAX 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 — 294 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
Ajax I was a blank-check company with SEC CIK 0001824963 and SIC industry code 6770, whose common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AJAX. The company priced its initial public offering on October 28, 2020, per a 424B prospectus. The ticker AJAX is printed on the cover page of an 8-K filed on August 19, 2021. Ajax I completed a business combination and no longer files, a closure established by a Form 25 filed on August 27, 2021. This Form 25, filed under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3), indicated that its Units, Class A Ordinary Shares, and Warrants came to evidence other securities in substitution therefor.
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.
The vote is put at an annual general meeting rather than a special meeting, so the combination travels with ordinary annual business. The registration fee of $385,083.98 was paid by Capri Listco on a Form F-4, which is the tell that a Cayman holder ends up in a foreign private issuer rather than a domestic registrant. The structure begins with the sole shareholder of Listco handing its shares to Ajax before closing, so the listed vehicle is assembled in steps rather than merging directly with Cazoo.
The capital structure remains the distinguishing feature: 8,944,343 founder shares against 80,499,090 public shares is roughly a 10 percent promote, half the market norm, which leaves materially more post-combination equity with public holders. Trust is a bare $10.00 per share. Cash outside trust is only $633,355, but $3.3 million of prepaid expenses, largely insurance, means the real near-term burn is already funded. The deadline is October 30, 2022 and no going-concern doubt is asserted.
The IPO closed on October 30, 2020, after the period, placing $804,990,900 at $10.00 per unit in trust with $4,702,774 of cash outside trust, none of which appears in these statements. The capital structure is unusual and favourable to public holders: the cover shows 80,499,090 Class A against only 9,583,333 Class B at December 10, 2020, so the sponsor promote is roughly 11 percent of the post-IPO share count rather than the customary 20 percent. Trust is funded at a bare $10.00 per share.
The one-fourth-of-a-warrant unit is confirmed at pricing,; Ajax's warrant overhang is a quarter of a warrant per public share. Two call triggers are stated, at $18.00 and at $10.00 per Class A ordinary share, adjusting to 180% and 100% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. Public shares are redeemed if no business combination is completed within 24 months from closing; deferred underwriting is $0.35 per unit.
Warrant coverage of one-quarter of a warrant per unit is a quarter of the dilution a one-per-unit structure carries, so unit-arbitrage and dilution figures for Ajax must come from this document rather than from a peer average. The filing states two call triggers, at $18.00 and at $10.00 per Class A ordinary share, adjusting to 180% and 100% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. If no business combination is completed within 24 months from closing, the public shares are redeemed.

What changed: Ajax I issued definitive merger materials for an annual general meeting at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on August 18, 2021, held as a hybrid meeting with its physical location at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in Houston. The business combination is under the Business Combination Agreement dated March 29, 2021 as amended by a First Amendment dated May 14, 2021 among Ajax, Cazoo Holdings Limited and Capri Listco, and begins with MaplesFS Limited transferring its Listco shares to Ajax at least three business days before the closing. Why it matters: The vote is put at an annual general meeting rather than a special meeting, so the combination travels with ordinary annual business. The registration fee of $385,083.98 was paid by Capri Listco on a Form F-4, which is the tell that a Cayman holder ends up in a foreign private issuer rather than a domestic registrant.

The sponsor
The people who set this company up, what they have done before, and the advisers around the deal.
Ajax I Holdings, LLCnamed as sponsor in this SPAC’s filings — but with no researched track record behind it yet.
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.
Coverage so far: 301 of 1284 tracked SPACs (23%) are attached to a scored sponsor. This card fills in by itself as the research lands.

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.
