- Mountain Crest Acquisition 6 units last traded at $10.10 on Nasdaq, gaining 0.21% late Friday morning.
- The SPAC raised $60 million from its IPO on May 1 and said in its most recent filing it hasn’t chosen a merger target.
- Management raised “substantial doubt” about liquidity and the deadline to close a deal.
Mountain Crest Acquisition 6 Corp. units traded on Nasdaq ticked up to $10.10 Friday, matching the high end of their short range since the IPO. Investors are watching the SPAC’s cash structure and a tight window to secure a deal. The units, under MCAH.U, rose 0.21% by 11:45 a.m. EDT on volume of 8,717, according to data.
That’s relevant because Mountain Crest 6 listed on the market less than six weeks ago. The company is a SPAC—a special purpose acquisition company—which means it’s a publicly traded shell that raises money to merge with or acquire another company. It doesn’t have operations itself.
SPAC units have not moved much so far. This is typical since investors usually focus on the value in the trust account. Most of the IPO cash sits there for a later business combination or for redemptions. Mountain Crest said in its latest filing that $60 million was put into trust following the IPO and private placement.
Mountain Crest finished its IPO on May 1, selling 6 million units for $10 apiece. Each unit has one ordinary share and a right, and each right turns into a quarter of a share after a business combination. The company said ordinary shares and rights should start trading separately as MCAH and MCAHR after the split.
The company’s latest SEC filing said it hadn’t picked a target or started serious talks with any as of the end of the period. The filing also showed zero operating revenue and a net loss of $43,470 from Jan. 6, when it was set up, through March 31.
Dr. Suying Liu chairs and leads Mountain Crest and is also its CFO. D. Boral Capital was sole book-running manager on the offering. The underwriter got a 45-day option for up to 900,000 extra units for over-allotments.
Risk assets were under pressure Friday as Wall Street’s main indexes dropped. Reuters said the selloff came after jobs numbers beat forecasts, sparking bets on more Fed tightening. “It’s healthy for the market to pull back a little bit,” Siebert Financial’s Mark Malek told Reuters, adding the labor market isn’t “completely crumbling.” Reuters
Churchill Capital Corp VII slipped 0.30%. Bain Capital GSS Investment Corp picked up 0.29%. Cantor Equity Partners IV eased 0.10%. Mountain Crest barely gained, holding close to the low-volatility, cash-like moves common for most blank-check firms before they pick a deal.
The real issue isn’t Friday’s 2-cent move. The issue is the deal deadline. Mountain Crest said it has 12 months from the May 1 IPO close to finish a business combination. There are extension options, but if it misses the window, it will wind up and liquidate. Management flagged liquidity worries and mandatory liquidation risk, saying there’s “substantial doubt” the company can keep going as a going concern. In other words, Mountain Crest may not be able to operate for the next year unless it completes the plan.
There’s another wrinkle with the rights. If Mountain Crest doesn’t get a deal done and the trust liquidates, holders of those rights don’t get any trust money. The rights could end up worthless. Right now, it’s straightforward: units trade close to $10, the trust holds the cash, and Mountain Crest needs to land a target.
