SpacBrain’s read
Trust settled
The trust was liquidated and paid back to holders pro rata — the floor was honoured and the SPAC has wound up, so there is nothing left to claim.
In plain terms
- What it is
- A SPAC, listed on NYSE in March 2021.
- What it's doing now
- It never completed a purchase. The company wound up and the cash in the account went back to shareholders — the ordinary ending when a SPAC runs out of time. No agreed deal for it is on file with us, so we cannot say whether one was ever announced and later fell through.
- What you should know
- This SPAC has finished. The cash was paid back to shareholders and the company wound up, so there is nothing left to claim — the money went where the charter said it would.

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 fieldsAUS 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 — 292 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
Austerlitz Acquisition Corp I was a blank-check company whose common shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AUS. The company priced its initial public offering on March 1, 2021, as reflected in a 424B prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Its units each consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-fourth of one warrant. Austerlitz Acquisition Corp I subsequently wound up and returned the trust cash to shareholders, and the company's liquidation was established by a Form 25 filed on December 2, 2022.
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.
Returning $690 million rather than deploying it is a decisive verdict on the SPAC market, and the timing avoids the 1% excise tax on repurchases that applies from January 1, 2023. At $10.00 in trust against a $9.94 market price, redeeming pays six cents more than selling, so holders capture a small premium by supporting the wind-up. This is a clean return of deposited capital with no deal risk, and the trust amendment ensures the trustee acts immediately rather than waiting for the original March 2023 date.
The 300,000,000 registered Class V ordinary shares alongside 398,571,430 Class A shares indicate a dual-class structure in which one class is held separately from the public float — Class V shares in these structures typically carry voting rights disproportionate to their economic interest, so the Class A count alone does not describe post-closing control. The continuation is into BERMUDA, not Delaware, so the public company's shareholders will be governed by Bermuda law — a different regime for minority protections and enforcement from either Cayman or U.S. law. No meeting date is fixed.
The registered amounts are identical to the baseline and the other amendments of this registration statement, so they were fixed from the original filing. The 300,000,000 Class V ordinary shares alongside 398,571,430 Class A shares point to a dual-class structure in which one class sits outside the public float; Class V shares in such structures typically carry voting rights out of proportion to their economic interest, so the Class A count alone does not describe post-closing control. The continuation is into Bermuda, so Bermuda law governs the public company after closing.
All three registered amounts are unchanged from the original filing and remain so through the two later amendments, so this registration statement never moved its ceiling. The Class V line of 300,000,000 shares is a separate class from the 398,571,430 Class A shares and should not be added to it as if it were public float. The Bermuda continuation places the post-closing company under Bermuda law.
This is the baseline of the Austerlitz / Wynn Interactive registration and it fixes all three registered amounts from the outset — they do not change across any of the three amendments that follow. The 300,000,000 Class V ordinary shares are a separate class from the 398,571,430 Class A shares and should not be aggregated with them as public float; Class V shares in such structures typically carry voting rights disproportionate to their economic interest. The continuation is into Bermuda rather than Delaware, so Bermuda law governs shareholder rights after closing. No meeting date is fixed.
The sponsor economics are twice the market norm: Class B and Class C together are 29,571,430 shares against 69,000,000 public shares, about 43 per cent rather than the usual 25, because the Class C alignment shares sit on top of the ordinary founder block. Note also that the redeemable line is captioned 'at $10.00 per share' but states $613,509,327, three dollars short of 61,350,933 times $10.00 - the line is the residual that pins equity at $5,000,005, so the caption describes the right, not the arithmetic.

What changed: Austerlitz Acquisition Corporation I called an extraordinary general meeting for November 22, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. Eastern to amend its charter and move the termination date forward from March 2, 2023 to November 22, 2022, with a matching trust amendment directing Continental to commence liquidation of the trust on that date. Record date is October 28, 2022. The redemption price on the record date was about $10.00, based on roughly $690,000,000 on deposit divided by the outstanding public shares, against a New York Stock Exchange close of $9.94 for the Class A shares on October 27, 2022. Why it matters: Returning $690 million rather than deploying it is a decisive verdict on the SPAC market, and the timing avoids the 1% excise tax on repurchases that applies from January 1, 2023. At $10.00 in trust against a $9.94 market price, redeeming pays six cents more than selling, so holders capture a small premium by supporting the wind-up. This is a clean return of deposited capital with no deal risk, and the trust amendment ensures the trustee acts immediately rather than waiting for the original March 2023 date.

No sponsor entity is named in the filings parsed for this SPAC so far.
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.
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.
