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 LifeSci Holdings, LLC, listed on Nasdaq in November 2020.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy Science 37 Holdings, Inc., a decentralized clinical trial platform 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 company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
Lifesci Acquisition II Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on Nasdaq under the ticker LSAQ. The company priced its initial public offering on November 23, 2020, under SEC file number 333-249480, with shares registered for cash on S-1 filing 0001104659-20-114990 dated October 14, 2020. Its prospectus, filed as 424B4 0001104659-20-128486, self-described the registrant as a blank check company and listed its SIC industry code as 8731, Services-Commercial Physical & Biological Research. The common ticker LSAQ appears on the cover page of the company's 10-K filing 0001104659-21-110580, filed August 27, 2021. The vehicle completed a business combination and no longer files, as established by Form 25 0001354457-24-000138 filed March 12, 2024, under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3), reflecting that the shares came to evidence other securities in substitution therefor; EDGAR now files CIK 0001819113 under the name Science 37 Holdings, Inc.
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.
Nearly eleven months elapsed between the December 27, 2022 Nasdaq bid price notice and this vote, so the company has exhausted its compliance runway and the split is a delisting remedy rather than a strategic choice. With 119.3 million shares outstanding and a sub-$1 price, the equity market value has collapsed since the 2021 de-SPAC. The 12.5 million earn-out shares are effectively dead at these levels because their price targets are unreachable, which at least removes that overhang, but it also confirms how far the stock has fallen from deal-date assumptions.
The count is itemised: 100,000,000 shares are issuable to Science 37's common holders and to holders of securities exercisable or convertible into its common stock, and a further 12,500,000 are the maximum earn-out shares payable in certain circumstances under the merger agreement. Inside the 100,000,000 sit 16,430,737 shares underlying options resulting from automatic conversion of Science 37 Options and up to 11,990 shares underlying converted Science 37 Warrants. The $5,516.03 is a par-value construct, not a valuation.
The 100,000,000 figure is fully loaded rather than a plain share count: it includes 16,430,737 shares issuable on options that convert automatically from Science 37 Options, and up to 11,990 shares underlying converted Science 37 Warrants, so the option overhang sits inside the ceiling. The 12,500,000 earn-out shares sit on top and are contingent. The $5,516.03 is a Rule 457(f)(2) construct — Science 37 is private, no market exists for its securities and it has an accumulated deficit — hence a registration fee of $1.
The $5,516.03 is a Rule 457(f)(2) construct rather than a valuation — Science 37 is private, no market exists for its securities and it has an accumulated deficit, so the price is one-third of the aggregate par value of the securities to be exchanged. The share count is the usable number and it is itemised: 100,000,000 shares to Science 37's holders, already including up to 11,990 shares underlying converted Science 37 Warrants and 16,430,737 shares issuable on converted Science 37 Options, plus a maximum 12,500,000 earn-out shares.

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 8731 (Services-Commercial Physical & Biological Research). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2020-10-14 → 8-A12B 2020-11-19 → 424B4 2020-11-23 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts. SIC 8731 + self-described blank check in 424B4 0001104659-20-128486; 424B 0001104659-20-128486 priced 2020-11-23 under S-1 0001104659-20-114990 (file 333-249480, an offering for cash); common ticker LSAQ off 10-K 0001104659-21-110580 (2021-08-27); lifecycle EXITED. The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-249480, which belongs to S-1 0001104659-20-114990 (2020-10-14) — 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 2020-11-23). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per Form 25 0001354457-24-000138 (2024-03-12) — Form 25 filed under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3) — the rule for securities that "have come to evidence other securities in substitution therefor", i.e. the shares became the successor's (class: Common Stock). EDGAR now files this CIK as "Science 37 Holdings, Inc." — 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.
