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 Replay Sponsor, LLC, listed on NYSE in April 2019.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy Finance of America Equity Capital LLC (Finance of America), a Financial services company. The deal valued that business at about $341.8M. 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 score
deterministic, from filed fieldsRPLA 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
Replay Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker RPLA. The company priced its initial public offering on April 5, 2019, as reflected in a 424B prospectus filed with the SEC (CIK 0001763731; SIC code 6770). Its units each consisted of one ordinary share and one-half of one warrant, with whole warrants exercisable for one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50. The ticker RPLA appears on the cover page of an 8-K filed on March 25, 2021. The company's lifecycle is closed: on April 5, 2021, Form 25 was filed under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3), establishing that the securities had come to evidence other securities in substitution therefor, and the vehicle no longer files.
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 auditor's report carries a going-concern explanatory paragraph, and the arithmetic behind it is stark: about $850,000 of cash outside the trust, a working-capital deficit of about the same size, and fourteen days from filing to the April 8, 2021 liquidation date. The proposed deal is subject to a minimum-cash condition, so redemptions can defeat it. At December 31, 2020 the trust was about $10.20 a share against a $10.00 carrying value - the normal pre-2021 floor plug, not a surplus.
The Class B common stock New Pubco issues to the Sellers carries no economic rights at all, yet entitles each holder of at least one share — regardless of how many are held — to a number of votes equal to the FoA Units that holder owns. Voting power therefore tracks units held outside the public company rather than shares in it. The Sellers' FoA Units are exchangeable one-for-one into Class A common stock, and New Pubco has the sole and exclusive right to appoint FoA's board of managers. Separate subscription agreements were signed alongside the Transaction Agreement.
The structure runs through a new Delaware holding company, Finance of America Companies Inc., with a dedicated blocker merger sub to merge out a Blackstone feeder-fund partnership interposed above the target — the standard arrangement where tax-sensitive fund investors hold through a corporate blocker. Because both a sponsor-side Blackstone group and family holding companies are parties in their own right, the post-closing ownership is split across several distinct constituencies whose treatment is set individually in the agreement rather than by a single exchange ratio.
The party list is the substance readable here: a new Delaware holding company sits above the combination, and a separate blocker merger sub exists to merge out an interposed Blackstone feeder partnership. That means the transaction's economics are allocated among several named constituencies individually rather than by one exchange ratio. No registered share count or meeting date appears in the extracted portion.
This is the earliest version in this slice of the Replay / Finance of America registration, filed roughly ten weeks after signing, and the party structure is already fully formed: a new Delaware holding company above the combination and a dedicated blocker merger sub to merge out an interposed Blackstone feeder partnership. Several distinct constituencies — the Blackstone entities and two Connecticut family holding companies — are parties in their own right, so the consideration is allocated among them individually rather than by a single ratio.
Working capital fell by roughly $1.4 million in six months as deal costs accrued, which is the normal path from announced deal to closing and is the thing a trust figure conceals: the trust is unchanged while the company's own liquidity is consumed. The $10.00 is a carrying value, not a redemption price. An UP-C structure means the public company will not own 100% of the operating business, which matters for any post-close share-count model. Nothing was written to any field.

A trust that grew year-to-date and shrank quarter-on-quarter is the concrete reason a trust figure must carry its date rather than be treated as a running total. The $10.00 is a carrying value, not a redemption price; redemption is computed on the balance on deposit at closing. Liabilities remain almost entirely the $9,187,500 deferred underwriting fee, with only $51,078 of current liabilities, so the going-concern language here reflects the charter clock and financing risk rather than a shortage of cash.
The change from the annual report ten weeks earlier is the language, not the balance sheet: the shell still has about $1.6 million of working capital and $5.7 million of trust income available for taxes, so the substantial doubt is the charter clock plus deal-financing risk, not insolvency. The trust figures are as-of dates and the $10.00 is a carrying value, not a redemption price - the document says redemption is computed on the balance then on deposit. Cover reconciles: 28,038,535 + 7,898,965 = 35,937,500 ordinary shares at May 15, 2020, a single class.
Redemption value is stated on the face of the balance sheet at exactly $10.00 per share, so the $3,322,448 of trust earnings for the period is not accruing to the redeemable share price in this presentation — it sits in retained earnings against a classification that holds equity at just over $5,000,000. The $9,187,500 deferred underwriting commission is roughly 3.2% of the $287,500,000 implied public raise and becomes payable only on a closing.
A holder-count deficiency four months after the IPO, with a public non-compliance indicator attached to the tape — the second SPAC in this corpus to hit the same NYSE rule while still searching.
First reported balance for the $287.5 million trust: $10.00 per share, $9,187,500 of deferred underwriting against it, and $1.78 million of working capital — a well-funded search.
A pre-IPO quarter; the full over-allotment exercise fixed the sponsor's promote at 7,187,500 shares against 28,750,000 public shares — a 25% founder ratio.
Establishes a $287.5 million trust with $9,187,500 of deferred underwriting standing against it and an unusually large $2.24 million of cash outside the trust to fund the search.
These are the governing terms any redemption or extension vote will run under, and the continuation power is what would let this SPAC domesticate elsewhere at a combination. The extracted text covers the memorandum and the articles' table of contents; the business-combination and redemption articles themselves are not reproduced here.
The $18.00 call trigger is not a fixed number in this document. If the company issues shares below $9.20 in connection with the business combination, the $18.00 test is reset to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price - so a stored constant of $18.00 can be wrong for this warrant after a dilutive closing. The exercise itself is conditional on an effective registration statement (or cashless exercise), and a separate $12.00 test 150 days after the combination governs other securities, not the call.

What changed: FY2020 10-K, filed March 25, 2021 with a hard deadline of April 8, 2021 unless shareholders approve an extension. Trust held $293,315,407 at December 31, 2020 against $292,054,158 a year earlier and $287,500,000 deposited at the April 2019 IPO. 27,829,229 ordinary shares are carried as redeemable at $10.00 ($278,292,290), down from 27,942,373, leaving 8,108,271 shares in permanent equity of 35,937,500 outstanding. Cash outside trust about $850,000 against a working-capital deficit of about $836,000. Deferred underwriting $9,187,500. A combination with Finance of America is proposed. Why it matters: The auditor's report carries a going-concern explanatory paragraph, and the arithmetic behind it is stark: about $850,000 of cash outside the trust, a working-capital deficit of about the same size, and fourteen days from filing to the April 8, 2021 liquidation date. The proposed deal is subject to a minimum-cash condition, so redemptions can defeat it.

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.
