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 Quantum Ventures LLC, listed on NYSE in February 2021.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy AtlasClear, Inc., a Financial technology and clearing services company. The deal valued that business at about $185M. 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.
At the 4 August 2023 event.
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 fieldsQFTA 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 — 295 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
Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corp (QFTA) was a blank-check company whose common stock was listed on NYSE under SEC CIK 0001830795 and SIC industry code 6770. Its IPO was priced on 2021-02-08, per 424B prospectus 0001213900-21-007474. The company completed a business combination and no longer files as a vehicle, with the closing established by Form 25 0001143313-24-000020 filed on 2024-02-12 under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3), reflecting that its common stock came to evidence other securities in substitution therefor. The successor registrant, AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (ATCH, ATCHW) (CIK 0001963088), filed an 8-K carrying item 2.01 (Completion of Acquisition) naming Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corp, and the common ticker QFTA is printed on the cover page of 8-K 0001213900-24-002286 filed 2024-01-09.
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.
Private placements contemplated at $7.50 to $8.00 per share against a trust value of about $10.73 mean new money comes in roughly 25% below what a redeeming holder can take out in cash, so anyone who stays is immediately diluted by financing struck at a steep discount to their own claim. The sponsor is handing over shares and up to 1.66 million private warrants to secure that financing, forfeiting whatever is unused, which shows how hard the capital has been to raise. Redeeming at $10.73 remains available regardless of the vote.
This is the second six-month extension in a row, so the vehicle will have run a full year past its original deadline if the deal is not completed, and the underlying combination agreement has already been amended once. The $0.04 per share monthly deposit, capped at $160,000, implies the sponsor expects roughly four million public shares to remain; beyond that level the per-share accretion falls below $0.04. Holders who redeem take the pro rata trust value; those who stay finance the extension through sponsor notes that become claims on the combined company.
The four-cent premium to redeem over selling is modest but certain, and the proxy is blunt that cancelling the meeting means dissolution — so the vote is genuinely between six more months and an immediate wind-up. A failure to vote or to instruct a broker counts the same as a vote against, which raises the risk of accidental liquidation on low turnout. Redemption remains available regardless of the outcome.

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.

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
