Every U.S. SPAC business combination tracked from announcement through close — built directly from SEC filings, refreshed daily. The page shows what's actually closing right now, how long deals are taking from announcement to close, and how each new ticker is trading versus the $10 SPAC baseline.
How this dataset is built
Every DeSPAC on this page is sourced directly from SEC EDGAR — the S-4 registration statement, the merger-approval 8-K, and the post-DeSPAC 8-K are parsed as they file. Deal enterprise values come from the S-4 or merger-agreement exhibit; close dates are confirmed against the post-DeSPAC 8-K. Target business descriptions are LLM-synthesized from each target’s company filings into a neutral analyst voice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DeSPAC?
A DeSPAC is the completion of a SPAC's business combination — the moment the blank-check company merges with its announced target and begins trading under the new combined company's ticker. It typically happens within days of a successful merger-approval vote, after S-4 review and shareholder approval. Completed DeSPACs are listed as cards on this page.
Why do SPACs often trade below $10 after the merger closes?
Post-DeSPAC stocks frequently trade below the $10 SPAC IPO price for two structural reasons: deal valuations agreed during the 2020-21 SPAC boom often exceeded what the public market would pay for the underlying business, and the shareholder base shifts from SPAC arbitrage holders to fundamental investors who reprice on the operating company. The price chip on each recent-close card shows each deal's trajectory against the $10 SPAC trust value.
How long do SPAC deals take from announcement to close?
DeSPACs are averaging 338 days from announcement to close — roughly 11 months. The timeline is driven by S-4 review at the SEC, shareholder vote scheduling, and any extension activity. Deals that hit unexpected SEC comments or auditor restatement issues can stretch beyond 18 months; cleaner deals can close in under 6 months.
How can I track upcoming DeSPAC closes?
Announced-but-not-yet-closed deals progress through S-4 filing, vote scheduling, and merger-approval vote before closing. For specific upcoming vote dates, the SPAC Vote Calendar tracks every scheduled deal-approval vote with record and meeting dates. Most approved deals close within a few business days of the vote — the trailing 12-month total stands at 42 closes.
