Oaktree’s OACC SPAC Looks Quiet. The October Deadline Is the Real Story
Oaktree Acquisition Corp. III Life Sciences entered Wednesday’s premarket with its shares last trading at $10.62, leaving the healthcare blank-check company valued at about $261 million and still priced close to the cash value sitting behind the stock. That matters because OACC is a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC: a listed shell that raises cash, parks it in a trust account, then looks for a private company to merge with. Its March-quarter filing showed 19.2 million redeemable Class A shares with a redemption value of $10.60 each, only a shade below the latest share price.
