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 from CHP Acquisition Holdings LLC, listed on Nasdaq in November 2019.
- 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.
At the 26 November 2021 event.
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 fieldsCHPM 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
CHP Merger Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker CHPM. The company priced its initial public offering on November 25, 2019, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed October 31, 2019 (SEC file number 333-234413), with shares sold for cash. The SEC classified the registrant under SIC code 3841, Surgical & Medical Instruments & Apparatus, and the company described itself as a blank check company in its 424B4 prospectus. CHP Merger Corp. subsequently liquidated, returning trust cash to shareholders, as established by a Form 25 filed on April 22, 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.
The registered ceiling is 42,445,648 Class A shares. The founder Class B shares convert one-for-one into the same class as the public shares at the effective time, so the sponsor's stake becomes ordinary Class A rather than retaining separate rights. Unusually, the document cites the specific 8-K filings in which each merger-agreement amendment was disclosed, which gives a direct route to the amendments' contents rather than only their dates. The agreement was amended twice within six weeks of signing.
This is a genuine going-concern filing, not boilerplate: the charter deadline of 26 November 2021 falls within a year of issuance, the company says 'it is uncertain that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time', and both management and the auditor conclude that the resulting mandatory liquidation raises substantial doubt. Share counts reconcile (1,290,144 + 28,709,856 = 30,000,000 Class A) and equity sits on the $5,000,001 plug in both years shown. See also the commission-file-number collision with Lefteris Acquisition Corp. noted on that filing.
This completes the separation sequence the company's November 21, 2019 warrant agreement and its December 3, 2019 audited balance sheet filing set up. From January 10, 2020 the share can be priced against the $300,000,000 trust independently of the warrant.
This is the audited post-IPO balance sheet whose filing on Form 8-K is one of the conditions for the units to separate into shares and warrants. The trust holds $300,000,000 and redemption value is carried at exactly $10.00 per share, so the floor equals the unit price at issue. With $1,878,771 of cash outside the trust against only an $85,943 sponsor note, the company was self-funding at the outset; the $10,500,000 deferred underwriting fee becomes payable only on a closing.
This fixes the warrant overhang before trading begins: up to 15,812,500 public warrants at one-half per unit, plus up to 8,325,000 sponsor warrants bought at $1.00, plus up to 1,500,000 more issuable if working capital loans convert — all at an $11.50 strike. The working capital conversion feature means sponsor lending during the search converts into further warrants rather than requiring cash repayment, so the dilution can grow with the length of the search.
The 24 months is not a hard stop and the document says so: the charter contemplates an EXTENSION PERIOD created by a stockholder vote to amend the certificate of incorporation, and holders get redemption rights in connection with that vote. So the deadline in this prospectus is the first deadline, not the last. The $18.00 call test is also explicitly adjustable for certain issuances of Class A stock and equity-linked securities - resetting to 180% of the newly issued price - so a stored $18.00 is a starting value, not a constant. Charter amendments need 65%.

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 1280 tracked SPACs (24%) are attached to a scored sponsor. This card fills in by itself as the research lands.

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

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 3841 (Surgical & Medical Instruments & Apparatus). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2019-10-31 → 8-A12B 2019-11-18 → 424B4 2019-11-25 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts. SIC 3841 + self-described blank check in 424B4 0001140361-19-021348; 424B 0001140361-19-021348 priced 2019-11-25 under S-1 0001140361-19-019535 (file 333-234413, an offering for cash); common ticker CHPM off 8-K 0001193125-22-106874 (2022-04-15); lifecycle EXITED. The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-234413, which belongs to S-1 0001140361-19-019535 (2019-10-31) — 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 2019-11-25). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: LIQUIDATED per Form 25 0001354457-22-000250 (2022-04-22) — Form 25 filed under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(2) — the rule for a class "called for redemption" or "redeemed or paid at maturity/retirement". For a SPAC that class is the public shares and that redemption is the trust going back (class: Warrant). No wind-up press release was readable on the registrant's own file, so the per-share figure is not stored.. 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.
