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, listed on Nasdaq in July 2017.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc., a cloud communications and collaboration software 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 score
deterministic, from filed fieldsWRLS 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
PENSARE ACQUISITION Corp (ticker WRLS) was a blank-check company whose common stock was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The company priced its initial public offering on July 31, 2017, under SEC file number 333-219162, with the pricing prospectus filed as 424B4 (accession 0001615774-17-003927) under S-1 accession 0001615774-17-003496, dated July 6, 2017. The registrant self-described as a blank-check company in that prospectus, and its SEC SIC industry code was 7373 (Services-Computer Integrated Systems Design). The common ticker WRLS appears on the cover page of a 10-K filed June 14, 2019 (accession 0001213900-19-010810). The company's lifecycle is closed: it completed a business combination and the vehicle no longer files, with the change in shell company status established by an 8-K filed April 14, 2020 (accession 0001213900-20-009113), reporting under item 5.06. EDGAR now files SEC CIK 0001704760 under the name American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.
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.
A mandatory redemption in twelve monthly instalments that began April 1, 2022 is a hard cash obligation for a company that is asking shareholders to authorise conversion instead, so approval effectively lets the preferred be paid in stock rather than cash. Combined with a conversion price that ratchets down on any lower-priced issuance, that is a structure where dilution grows as the share price falls. Against 91.5 million shares outstanding, legacy Pensare holders face open-ended dilution with no trust protection remaining.
The filing states the sale may be deemed under Delaware law to be a sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, which is why the vote is required; the Company will retain the Kandy Business and intends to continue operating it. Two further proposals seek Nasdaq approval for issuing shares on exercise of warrants issued under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 2, 2021, as amended by an Amendment and Waiver dated December 2, 2021 — one to permit issuance of 20% or more of outstanding common stock, the other to lift any cap on the number of shares issuable on exercise.
This is a divestiture by an operating company, the opposite of a business combination, and it sits in the deal tier only because the vehicle's CIK began as a SPAC. The Company retains the Kandy business and intends to keep operating it. Two further proposals seek Nasdaq approval for issuing common stock on exercise of warrants sold under a securities purchase agreement dated November 2, 2021, as amended by an Amendment and Waiver dated December 2, 2021 — one covering issuance at or above 20% of shares outstanding, the other issuance without giving effect to any cap. No fee table appears.
Closing requires Pensare to hold at least $150,000,000 of cash immediately before the effective time after satisfying its other obligations — well over twice the purchase price — and if that condition fails Computex is not required to close, which makes the cash test, not the vote, the binding constraint. Public stockholders may redeem even if they vote in favour, and the per-share redemption price is left blank in this preliminary version, as is the meeting date. At closing each unit separates and each right converts into one-tenth of a share, with no fractional shares issued.
The accumulating trust interest supports a pro rata redemption value exceeding the initial $10.00 per share, directly affecting investor payouts upon liquidation or merger. With only $1,182,721 in operating cash and 11 months remaining until the mandatory deadline, the filing highlights reliance on sponsor-backed working capital loans to fund ongoing search activities.

The full over-allotment exercise increases trust account assets and extends the runway for deal completion. The February 1, 2019 deadline is the key redemption/liquidation trigger; if no deal is consummated by then, public shares will be redeemed at approximately $10.00 per share from the trust account.
This filing formalizes the IPO structure and underwriter relationship for WRLS, confirming the SPAC's public securities are cleared for listing on NASDAQ. It also details key terms such as a $9.5M private placement deposit into the trust account on the closing date and a $10.00 per public share trust fund target.

No sponsor entity is named in the filings parsed for this SPAC so far.
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 1283 tracked SPACs (23%) are attached to a scored sponsor. This card fills in by itself as the research lands.

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 7373 (Services-Computer Integrated Systems Design). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2017-07-06 → 8-A12B 2017-07-26 → 424B4 2017-07-31 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts. SIC 7373 + self-described blank check in 424B4 0001615774-17-003927; 424B 0001615774-17-003927 priced 2017-07-31 under S-1 0001615774-17-003496 (file 333-219162, an offering for cash); common ticker WRLS off 10-K 0001213900-19-010810 (2019-06-14); lifecycle EXITED. The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-219162, which belongs to S-1 0001615774-17-003496 (2017-07-06) — 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 2017-07-31). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001213900-20-009113 (2020-04-14) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,2.03,3.02,3.03,5.01,5.02,5.06,9.01). EDGAR now files this CIK as "American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc." — the SPAC's own name is kept here and the successor is the target. 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.
[CLOSED-RENAME] EDGAR CIK 0001704760 records "PENSARE ACQUISITION Corp" ending 2020-04-07; the registrant continues as "American Virtual Cloud Technologies, Inc.". The rename is the SEC's own record of what the vehicle became, keyed by CIK. Closed 2020-04-07. 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.
