SpacBrain’s read
Trust settled

In plain terms
- What it is
- A SPAC from Fortress Acquisition Sponsor LLC, listed on NYSE in May 2020.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy MP Materials Corp. / DE. 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 fieldsFVAC 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
Fortress Value Acquisition Corp. (FVAC) was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker FVAC. The company priced its initial public offering on May 1, 2020, under SEC file number 333-236940, with shares registered for cash on Form S-1 filed March 6, 2020. The registrant was classified under SEC SIC industry code 1000 (Metal Mining) and described itself as a blank-check company in its 424B4 prospectus (accession 0001193125-20-129430). On November 17, 2020, the company filed an 8-K reporting a change in shell company status under item 5.06, establishing that it had completed a business combination and the vehicle no longer files. EDGAR now lists CIK 0001801368 under the name MP Materials Corp. / DE.
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 Department of War transaction agreements impose covenants on the company as well as providing funding, and the company flags challenges to them as a risk — the support and the constraint arrive together. The magnet business also depends on IP rights the company says it may not have. The financial statements are not in the portion read here.
The swing from a $12.5 million adjusted EBITDA loss to $28.5 million of profit is driven by NdPr sales volumes more than doubling and by $17.6 million of price protection agreement income, which is a contractual floor rather than market pricing. Cash and investments fell $377.6 million in six months while property, plant and equipment rose $238.8 million — the money is going into the Independence and 10X facilities.
The registered total separates what is issued from what is contingent: 91,941,543 shares are to be issued at closing and a further 12,860,000 is the maximum issuable under the earn-out mechanism, so roughly an eighth of the registered stock depends on conditions rather than on the closing. The $10.00 per share in the fee table is stated as an estimate solely for calculating the registration fee, not as a transaction price. The document is a combined proxy statement, consent solicitation and prospectus, so FVAC's holders vote while the targets' equityholders act by written consent.
The earn-out is a stated ceiling rather than an open commitment: 12,860,000 shares is its maximum, and the 91,941,543 shares issued at closing are separate from it, so a FVAC holder can size both halves of the dilution from the cover. Each of MPMO and SNR first passes through a Pre-Closing Reorganization into a new holding company and then through two consecutive mergers, so what FVAC ends up owning is two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries rather than one operating company. The $136,032.40 registration fee had already been paid on August 27, 2020.
The fee table splits the issuance in a way the narrative does not: of the 104,801,543 Class A shares registered, 91,941,543 are to be issued at closing and 12,860,000 are the maximum issuable under the earn-out mechanism, so part of the registered total is contingent rather than delivered. The $10.00 per share used to reach a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $1,048,015,430.00 and a fee of $136,032.40 is stated to be an estimate solely for calculating the registration fee. Both targets must complete a Pre-Closing Reorganization before any merger step occurs.

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.

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 1000 (Metal Mining). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2020-03-06 → 8-A12B 2020-04-29 → 424B4 2020-05-01 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts. SIC 1000 + self-described blank check in 424B4 0001193125-20-129430; 424B 0001193125-20-129430 priced 2020-05-01 under S-1 0001193125-20-064951 (file 333-236940, an offering for cash); common ticker FVAC off 10-Q 0001801368-20-000009 (2020-11-04); lifecycle EXITED. The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-236940, which belongs to S-1 0001193125-20-064951 (2020-03-06) — 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 2020-05-01). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001193125-20-296150 (2020-11-17) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,3.02,3.03,5.01,5.02,5.06,7.01,9.01). EDGAR now files this CIK as "MP Materials Corp. / DE" — 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.
