Chat GPT gave me this … seems reasonable.
A typical SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) merger takes 3 to 6 months to close after the merger announcement, though the timeline can vary depending on several factors.
Key phases in that 3–6 month window:
1. Definitive Agreement Signed: Public announcement of the merger.
2. SEC Review: The SPAC files an S-4 registration statement. The SEC reviews it, which often takes 6–12 weeks, including rounds of comments.
3. Shareholder Vote: After SEC approval, the SPAC sets a date for its shareholders to vote on the merger. Typically requires 3–6 weeks of notice.
4. Redemptions and Closing: Once the vote passes and redemptions are processed, the transaction can close—usually within days of the vote.
Factors that can extend the timeline:
• Lengthy SEC review due to complex disclosures.
• Delays in audited financials or required restatements.
• Litigation or regulatory concerns.
• Need for additional financing (e.g., PIPE round).
