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 GO Acquisition Founder LLC, listed on NYSE in August 2020.
- 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 fieldsGOAC 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
GO Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker GOAC. The company priced its initial public offering on August 5, 2020, with units consisting of one warrant and $10 held in trust per unit, and a deadline of 24 months to complete a business combination. On August 5, 2022, the company filed a Form 8-K announcing that it would redeem all of its outstanding Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, effective as of the close of business on August 17, 2022, because it would not consummate an initial business combination within the required time period. The company was classified under SEC SIC industry code 6770 and assigned CIK number 0001816176.
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 $575m trust earned $75,333 in under two months, while franchise tax payable alone is $59,776 - trust income does not cover the tax bill it is meant to pay, so the $1.3m held outside the trust is the entire runway. Deferred underwriting of $20,125,000 is 3.5% of trust and comes out of cash at closing. Equity of exactly $5,000,005 is the net-tangible-asset plug, not a finding. The trust figure is as of September 30, 2020. No target and no going-concern language.
The opening position as stated: $500,000,000 in trust against 50,000,000 public shares, backed by $12,000,000 of at-risk sponsor money at $1.50 per warrant. Warrant coverage of one third per unit is on the tighter side for August 2020, meaning less dilution overhang for a holder who stays through a combination. The private placement warrants lose their cashless-exercise and non-redeemable advantages if transferred outside the sponsor group. No target or completion deadline is stated in the text read.
This is the operative pricing document for GO's securities. It states both warrant call triggers — one at $18.00 and a separate one at $10.00 per Class A share, each adjusting to 180% and 100% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price — and the exercise period, the later of 30 days after the initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of the offering. It also states the 24-month outside date from closing after which 100% of the public shares are redeemed, and the $0.35 per unit deferred underwriting commission held in trust until a closing.
This filing states two separate warrant call triggers, not one: a redemption when the Class A share price equals or exceeds $18.00 and a separate redemption when it equals or exceeds $10.00, and both trigger prices adjust to 180% and 100% respectively of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price if the anti-dilution provision is engaged. Warrants become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the business combination and 12 months from the closing of the offering. If no business combination is completed within 24 months from closing, all public shares are redeemed.

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.

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.
