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 Hennessy Capital (Daniel Hennessy), listed on Nasdaq in December 2020.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy Appreciate Holdings, Inc., a real estate agents and managers 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.
What happened to the cash

The company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
PropTech Investment Corporation II was a Delaware-incorporated blank-check special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination, with a stated focus on the property technology sector. The SPAC priced its initial public offering on December 7, 2020, under SEC registration statement File No. 333-249477, with units consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one redeemable warrant, each whole warrant exercisable at $11.50 per share. The trust account held $10.00 per unit. The common stock traded on Nasdaq under the ticker PTIC. The sponsor was HC PropTech Partners II LLC (SEC CIK 0001821072). Management was led by Thomas D. Hennessy and M. Joseph Beck, who served as Co-Chief Executive Officers, with Hennessy also holding the title of President and Beck serving as Chief Financial Officer. The company's charter provided for a 24-month deadline to complete a business combination from the closing of the IPO.
The vehicle completed a business combination and ceased to be a shell company on December 5, 2022, as reported on Form 8-K (Item 5.06, Change in Shell Company Status), at which point the registrant was renamed Appreciate Holdings, Inc. The successor entity now trades on OTC Pink Sheets under the ticker SFRT and operates as a real estate management and development company headquartered at 6101 Baker Road, Suite 200, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55345. EDGAR subsequently reassigned the registrant's Standard Industrial Classification code from 6770 (blank check) to 6531 (Real Estate Agents and Managers (For Others)). The lifecycle of the SPAC is closed.
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 estimated $10.00 per-share redemption gives holders a cash exit at deposited value rather than shares in the combined company, and the proxy is explicit that every redemption shrinks the $230.0 million trust available to fund the deal. That creates the usual coordination problem: individually rational redemption can leave the surviving business undercapitalised for those who stay. The document also flags directors' and officers' interests in seeing the combination completed, a conflict holders should weigh against the board's recommendation.
Proposal 1 is not housekeeping — it rewrites the redemption machinery before the deal vote. Section 9.2(a) is replaced so public stockholders are offered redemption by means of a tender offer, Section 9.2(e) is replaced so the combination needs only a majority of the shares actually voted at the meeting rather than of those outstanding, and Section 9.2(f) is deleted outright. Northland Securities, Inc. opined both on the fairness of the consideration and on whether Renters Warehouse meets the eighty percent of trust test, excluding deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable.

Deal completion: 13/15 resolved vehicles closed a deal (87%); 1 liquidated, 1 terminated. Gated ×0.94 by measured post-close quality (44/100): closing deals that ended below trust value is not a completed job, so only 94% of the completion credit is earned.

Sources: SEC EDGAR submissions API (formerNames) + full-text search, efts.sec.gov. — research profile — Daniel J. Hennessy is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Hennessy Capital Group, an alternative investment firm he established in 2013 after the wind-down of Code Hennessy & Simmons LLC (CHS Capital), the Chicago private equity firm he co-founded in 1988 and grew into one of the 100 largest PE firms in the United States. A University of Michigan Ross MBA ('81) who began his career in energy lending at Continental Illinois National Bank and later ran Citicorp's Midwest mezzanine group, Hennessy pivoted to SPACs at age 55 and has since become one of the longest-tenured and most prolific independent SPAC sponsors in the market. He is the sole managing member of the sponsor entity and controls its management. The firm operates as a multi-generational, family-led investment platform: his son Thomas Hennessy serves as president, COO, and managing partner (a former portfolio manager at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, with prior stints at Equity International and Credit Suisse), while Nicholas Geeza acts as EVP and CFO (a five-time SPAC CFO with backgrounds at US Bank Capital Markets and J.P. Morgan). Vice President Megan Cai rounds out the team with experience at Latch, Knotel, J.P. Morgan, and InVision. The firm is headquartered in Zephyr Cove, Nevada, with operational presence in Houston and Wilson, Wyoming. Hennessy Capital's SPAC track record is extensive by any measure. Completed mergers include Blue Bird Corporation (BLBD), the school bus manufacturer that became a top-performing SPAC and a leader in low- and zero-emission powertrains; Daseke (DSKE), the trucking consolidator; NRC Group Holdings, which became US Ecology (ECOL); Canoo; Porch.com; and more recent combinations including Appreciate, Banzai, Captivision, Carbon Revolution, Innventure, LPA, and Namib Minerals, the latter described as the largest SPAC merger to date in Africa. The firm's website also references a combination with Plus Power, a utility-scale battery storage developer. Not every vehicle has reached a deal, however: Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. V, a $345 million IPO from January 2021, was liquidated in December 2022 without completing a business combination, returning capital to trust at $9.99 per share. The firm's current active vehicles include Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VII (HVII), a $175 million vehicle priced in January 2025 targeting industrial technology and energy transition companies with enterprise values of $500 million or more, which has announced a pending merger with ONE Nuclear Energy LLC, and Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VIII, a $210 million vehicle priced in February 2026 with a similar mandate. The sponsor's investment thesis has evolved steadily toward sustainable industrial technology,…

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 6531 (Real Estate Agents & Managers (For Others)). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2020-10-14 → 8-A12B 2020-12-02 → 424B4 2020-12-07 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts.

The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-249477, which belongs to S-1 0001213900-20-031262 (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 2020-12-07). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001213900-22-077647 (2022-12-05) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,2.03,3.02,3.03,4.01,5.01,5.02,5.03,5.05,5.06,5.07,7.01). 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.

"Appreciate Holdings, Inc." is the registrant's CURRENT identity, adopted when the combination closed — EDGAR renames on the closing day, so the rename predates the ending we store and every date-based check cleared it; the vehicle traded as "PROPTECH INVESTMENT CORP.

The rename is the SEC's own record of what the vehicle became, keyed by CIK. Closed 2022-11-29. No deal value is set — a rename says what was acquired, never for how much. No date column is set: Deal has announcedAt, voteDate and expectedCloseAt and nowhere to record an actual close, so the SEC's date is kept here until that column exists.
