Decarbonization Plus II (DCRN) announced a deal to take Tritium, an Australian EV charge company, public in a $1.4B SPAC deal. The deal has no PIPE and they currently have $403M in trust. The market was, somewhat, pleased with the deal as DCRN rose modestly +1.4%, though it still trades at a sizable discount to NAV at $9.79. This represents
a potential ~6% yield opportunity if you believe that the deal vote (when an investor could redeem its shares) happens within ~4-6 months.

While 3 deals ultimately announced this week (HZAC, FWAA, and DBDR) it was still a slow week compared to peak SPAC merger frenzy. This week s deals provided modest pops - despite what has (mostly) been a rollercoaster overall week for risk assets. On a happy note, SPACs finished Friday largely up, for the first time in what feels like years.
Overall, the week was one where the mood felt increasingly dark with the media only adding to it with little positive to say.
