This morning
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.
