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 ARYA SCIENCES HOLDINGS, listed on Nasdaq in October 2018.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed in March 2020 to buy Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH, a Biotechnology company developing T-cell based cancer immunotherapies company. 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 fieldsARYA 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
ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker ARYA. The company priced its initial public offering on October 9, 2018, according to a 424B prospectus filed with the SEC. Its lifecycle is closed: it completed a business combination and no longer files as a standalone vehicle. The closing is established by a Form 25 filed on July 1, 2020, under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3), reflecting that the shares came to evidence other securities in substitution therefor, and by an 8-K filed by successor registrant Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. on June 29, 2020, carrying item 2.01 (Completion of Acquisition) and naming ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp.
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.
A clean sweep on both counts a SPAC holder watches: unanimous approval among the shares voted, and zero redemptions. Zero is the striking figure — it means the trust travels into the combined company intact, so the $150,000,000 aggregate-proceeds condition and the $104,150,000 PIPE both clear on cash rather than on waivers. With the F-4 effective on June 10, 2020 and the vote carried, the report leaves the remaining conditions as mechanical.
The disclosure that actually adds information is the deal history: ARYA signed non-disclosure agreements with more than ten potential targets and submitted indications of interest or letters of intent to three others with equity values of $300 to $550 million, abandoning each because the target went elsewhere, ARYA would not meet its valuation, or diligence failed. That is a rare, dated look at the alternatives to the Immatics deal a holder is being asked to approve. The report changes no deal term and sets no date.
The sponsor gives up its whole warrant position: the 5,953,125 Private Placement Warrants held by ARYA Sciences Holdings are forfeited for no consideration and cancelled under the Sponsor Letter Agreement, while public warrants convert one-for-one into TopCo warrants. The Business Combination Proposal is a special resolution rather than an ordinary one, so it carries a higher threshold, and holders are being moved into a Dutch entity whose legal form changes in the same sequence of steps. ARYA ordinary shares convert one-for-one, so the exchange itself is not dilutive.
The expense spike is transaction cost accrued against a signed deal, not operating drift, and it is what produced the going-concern language: operating cash is only $701,650. Shares subject to redemption FELL to 13,545,245 from 13,872,230 as 326,985 shares were reclassified into permanent equity to hold the $5,000,001 net-tangible-asset floor, so the $135,452,450 carrying amount is a plug at a flat $10.00 while the trust itself is about $10.34 a share at March 31, 2020. Neither figure is a redemption price and none was written to any field.
This is the F-4 actually existing, as against the 'intends to file' language ARYA's earlier reports carried — it was filed on April 15, 2020 and is public, but not effective, and its effectiveness is one of the closing conditions written into the March 17, 2020 Business Combination Agreement. The deal moves a step towards a vote without one being scheduled: the report sets no record date and no meeting date.
This is the deal announcement and it prices the equity: $350 million to Immatics holders at a $10.00 reference. Concurrent subscription agreements commit $104,150,000 for 10,415,000 TopCo shares, which alone satisfies the $100 million private placement condition, but the separate $150 million aggregate-proceeds condition means redemptions are not costless — enough trust cash leaving would fail a written closing condition. Under the Sponsor Letter Agreement the sponsor forfeits its private placement warrants and waives the Class B conversion-ratio adjustment.

Cover-page and definitions extract only. The business, risk-factor, MD&A and financial-statement sections were not read, so nothing here should be taken as the report's statement of trust balance, deadline, going-concern status or results. The definitions do identify the sponsor group: the founders are Joseph Edelman, Adam Stone and Michael Altman, senior executives of Perceptive Advisors, and the Class B founder shares convert automatically into Class A at the initial business combination. Flagged for review so the substantive sections can be summarised properly.
The third Nasdaq annual-meeting deficiency notice in this cohort dated January 2 or 3, 2020, all arising from the same rule and all carrying the same June 29, 2020 outside date — a calendar effect of SPACs that IPO'd in 2018 and had not yet held a first annual meeting. The company states its own remedy and that the notice does not affect trading; whether it affects a combination is the company's expectation, not a Nasdaq determination.
Redemption value is carried at exactly $10.00 per share in both periods while the trust grew by $2,612,625, so the earnings sit in retained earnings rather than the carrying value; the redeemable share count rose by 219,313 through the reclassification that holds equity at just over $5,000,000. With $963,318 of cash and no sponsor debt, the company was funding itself at the period end. The $4,671,875 deferred underwriting commission is payable only on a closing.
A year after its IPO the balance sheet still carries under $45,000 of liabilities and over $1 million of cash — this SPAC has spent almost nothing on its search.
Trust income of $872,335 against $153,570 of costs — the trust is out-earning the search by more than five to one, and the balance sheet still carries almost no liabilities.
A $143.75 million trust with essentially no current liabilities and $1.2 million of cash outside it, plus $4,671,875 of deferred underwriting payable only at closing — one of the cleaner balance sheets in this cohort.
A pre-IPO quarter; the full over-allotment exercise fixed the sponsor's promote at 3,593,750 Class B shares against 14,375,000 public Class A shares — a 25% founder ratio.
Sets the full warrant overhang for this SPAC — up to 7,187,500 public plus up to 5,953,125 private plus up to 1,500,000 loan warrants, all struck at $11.50 — and the working-capital-loan mechanism that can add warrants without a new financing.
These are the governing documents any redemption or extension vote will run under, adopted before pricing. The extracted text covers the memorandum and the articles' table of contents; the substantive conversion and redemption articles are named but not reproduced here.
Two terms are off the default. Deferred underwriting is $0.325 per unit, not the $0.35 this cohort normally carries, so slightly more of the trust is genuinely the holders'. And the call test is on the CLOSING price of the ordinary shares at $18.00 for 20 of 30 trading days ending three trading days before notice, not the last sale price - a different measurement of the same number. Separately, the terms of the public warrants themselves can be amended adversely to a holder with the approval of only 50% of the public warrants outstanding.

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.
