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 Delaware LP, listed on Nasdaq in January 2021. Each unit put $10.00 into the shareholders' cash account at listing; by the end it held $10.13 a share — interest earned on the account, plus any payments the sponsor made to extend the deadline, spread over the shares that never cashed out.
- 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.

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.
What happened to the cash
The reasoning behind the verdict above, in the order the filings establish it.
- 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.
- $10.13 a share is the last cash figure filed while this was still a SPAC. It is a record of what the account held, not money anyone can ask for now.

The score
deterministic, from filed fieldsNAAC 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
North Atlantic Acquisition Corp (NAAC) was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker NAAC. The company priced its initial public offering on January 25, 2021, pursuant to a 424B prospectus, with units comprising one ordinary share and a one-third warrant, an initial trust amount of $10 per unit, and a 12-month deadline to complete a business combination. On January 25, 2023, the company filed an 8-K announcing the redemption of all outstanding public shares at a per-share redemption price of approximately $10.13, with the public shares deemed cancelled as of the close of business on January 26, 2023. The company was thereby liquidated, returning the trust cash to shareholders.
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.
Issuing up to 115,512,500 shares to BICS out of 162,001,250 registered means the seller ends up with a clear majority, and the proxy states plainly that New Holdco will be a controlled company under Nasdaq rules. That exemption lets the board dispense with majority-independent directors and independent compensation and nominating committees, so public holders lose standard governance protections along with any influence over outcomes. Redemption at pro rata trust value is the alternative to accepting minority status in a Belgian carrier services business.
Cover and balance sheet cannot be reconciled here because the trust did not exist at the balance-sheet date - the ordinary pre-IPO-stub shape for this filing wave, not a defect. The deposit is exactly $10.00 a unit on 37,950,000 units. One drafting artefact worth noting: Item 1 says 'which we refer to throughout this prospectus as our initial business combination', calling an annual report a prospectus, which is registration-statement text carried over unedited. No trust, deadline or status column was written from this filing.
Two warrant call regimes are stated, at $10.00 and at $18.00 per Class A ordinary share, adjusting to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. Warrants become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the initial business combination and 12 months from closing, and only while an effective registration statement and current prospectus for the underlying shares are available.
Two warrant call regimes are stated, at $10.00 and at $18.00 per Class A ordinary share, adjusting to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. Warrants become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the initial business combination and 12 months from the closing of the offering. The private placement warrants expire worthless if no business combination is completed within 24 months from closing or such later period if extended, and are locked up until 30 days after a business combination.

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.

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.
