of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
Section 102.06e of the Manual
provides that the Exchange will
promptly commence delisting
procedures with respect to any listed
SPAC that fails to consummate its
Business Combination within (i) the
time period specified by its constitutive
documents or by contract or (ii) three
years, whichever is shorter. For
purposes of Section 102.06, a Business
Combination is defined as a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase,
reorganization, or similar business
combination with one or more operating
businesses or assets with a fair market
value equal to at least 80% of the net
assets held in trust by the SPAC (net of
amounts disbursed to management for
working capital purposes and excluding
the amount of any deferred
underwriting discount held in trust).
Section 102.06e requires the Exchange
to promptly commence delisting
procedures even for listed SPACs that
have entered into a definitive agreement
with respect to a Business Combination
within three years of their listing date,
but that are unable to complete the
transaction before the three-year
deadline established by 102.06e. As a
practical matter, any such NYSE-listed
SPAC would need to liquidate, transfer
to a market that provides a longer period
of time to complete the Business
Combination, or face delisting.4
The Exchange notes that Nasdaq’s
SPAC listing requirements include a
three-year limitation that is
substantially similar to that included in
the Exchange’s SPAC listing standard.5
However, Nasdaq appeal panels have
granted additional time to SPACs that
appeal their delisting for failure to
consummate a Business Combination
4 The Exchange notes that the three-year
limitation for a SPAC is established solely by
Exchange rule, and that many SPACs have been
able to extend their lives beyond three years either
by shareholder approval or other mechanisms
provided under their organizing documents. Even if
approved by shareholders, any extension beyond
three years does not circumvent Exchange rules
which mandate delisting if a SPAC has not
consummated a Business Combination within three
years.
