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, listed on NYSE in December 2017.
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.

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 fields

RWGE 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.

Asymmetric return scoreNeither a price nor a cash-per-share figure is on file for this vehicle, and the score is a ratio between the two. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.

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 filings
Read the full profile

Regalwood Global Energy Ltd. (NYSE: RWGE) was a blank-check company that priced its IPO on December 1, 2017, pursuant to a 424B prospectus. The company's units each consisted of one Class A ordinary share with a par value of $0.0001 and one-third of one redeemable warrant. On December 4, 2019, the company filed an 8-K on which the common ticker RWGE appeared on the cover page. Regalwood Global Energy Ltd. subsequently liquidated, returning trust cash to shareholders, with the redemption of its public shares established by a Form 25 filing on December 16, 2019 under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(1).


Material findings

from the full read of every filing

Every 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 company is winding up rather than seeking an extension: it announced the redemption of 100% of the public shares outright, with no shareholder meeting and no extension proposal in between. The trust held $310,326,548 against 30,000,000 public shares at September 30, 2019 per the company's most recent quarterly report, and the September balance sheet showed no sponsor debt, so the redemption is not competing with sponsor claims on trust assets. The release states nothing about the warrants.

  • This is a shell with no sponsor debt and $369,809 of cash still funding a flat $20,000-per-month administrative fee to a related party — a cleaner balance sheet than most of this cohort, where operating costs were being carried on sponsor notes. Redemption value is presented at approximately $10.00 per share while the trust held $310,326,548 against 30,000,000 public shares, roughly $10.34, so the trust's earnings are not reflected in the carrying value. The $10,500,000 deferred underwriting fee becomes payable only on a closing.

  • Eighteen months past its IPO with no target announced, the trust keeps accreting while payables now exceed the cash available to pay them.

  • Paid-in capital has been exhausted by trust accretion, so the $5,000,001 net tangible asset floor is now held up entirely by retained earnings — any further accretion has to come out of that line.

  • Prices the sponsor's promote at roughly two-tenths of a cent per share against a $10.00 public price, and shows a full year of trust income accruing while cash outside the trust fell by 60%.

  • Trust keeps accreting on a $10.00-funded base while operating cash outside it declines — the same quarter in which the NYSE holder-count deficiency was disclosed.

Show 7 more material filings
  • A listing deficiency on the holder-count test, with an 18-month cure window from October 3, 2018 that the company expects a combination to resolve — a second clock running alongside the deal search.

  • Trust income is accruing on a $10.00-funded trust of about $302 million, while about $662,000 of cash outside it funds the continuing search.

  • Records an over-allotment that expired unexercised — the sponsor forfeited 1,125,000 founder shares and the trust stays at the base $300 million — and shows the sponsor note repaid out of working capital.

  • Ties the vehicle to Carlyle's international energy fund and records a forward purchase commitment that would add capital at closing. Flagged for review: only the cover page and defined-terms section of this annual report are in the extracted text, so the financial statements, the size of the forward purchase and MD&A are not covered here.

  • This filing establishes the governing documents for the SPAC, confirming the 24-month deadline to complete an initial business combination and the requirement that target businesses have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of trust account assets. The SPAC ultimately liquidated without completing a deal, and these articles define the liquidation waterfall and shareholder redemption rights.

  • This filing establishes the IPO terms and trust structure: $294,000,000 deposited in trust (including $10.5M deferred underwriting discount of $0.35/unit), 24-month business combination deadline, and $11.50 warrant strike. Since RWGE ultimately liquidated without completing a deal, these terms define the redemption value public shareholders received.

  • The warrant call is $0.01 on 30 days' notice if the CLOSING price of the ordinary shares is at least $18.00 - again a closing-price rather than last-sale test. A third of a warrant per unit means a holder of one or two units can never receive or trade a whole warrant, and the prospectus says so in terms. The trust is funded at exactly $10.00 per unit with no sponsor top-up, so the $10.5m of deferred underwriting sits inside the floor rather than above it. This SPAC later liquidated, which makes this document the record of what the cash was promised to be.

Show the other 10 filings
  • What changed: Regalwood Global Energy Ltd. furnished under Item 7.01 a press release dated December 4, 2019 announcing that its board of directors determined to redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, effective as of December 16, 2019, because the company will not be able to consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and, with the Item 7.01 information, is expressly not filed for Section 18 purposes. Why it matters: The company is winding up rather than seeking an extension: it announced the redemption of 100% of the public shares outright, with no shareholder meeting and no extension proposal in between. The trust held $310,326,548 against 30,000,000 public shares at September 30, 2019 per the company's most recent quarterly report, and the September balance sheet showed no sponsor debt, so the redemption is not competing with sponsor claims on trust assets. The release states nothing about the warrants.

  • What changed: Regalwood Global Energy Ltd. filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Investments held in trust were $310,326,548, up from $305,342,146 at December 31, 2018; cash was $369,809, down from $565,693. Liabilities were $11,092,215, being $592,215 of accounts payable and accrued expenses and $10,500,000 of deferred underwriting compensation; the $12,269 of related-party advances outstanding at year end is repaid. Why it matters: This is a shell with no sponsor debt and $369,809 of cash still funding a flat $20,000-per-month administrative fee to a related party — a cleaner balance sheet than most of this cohort, where operating costs were being carried on sponsor notes. Redemption value is presented at approximately $10.00 per share while the trust held $310,326,548 against 30,000,000 public shares, roughly $10.34, so the trust's earnings are not reflected in the carrying value. The $10,500,000 deferred underwriting fee becomes payable only on a closing.

In plain English

tap a term to open it

Every 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.
