The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by affiliates of The Gores Group, LLC and Guggenheim Capital, LLC reminded on Thursday its stockholders and warrant holders to vote favorably the business combination with Polestar.
Stockholder and Warrant Holder Special Meetings to be held on June 22, 2022. Each stockholder’s vote is important, regardless of the number of shares held, Gores Guggenheim added.
Earlier today, FT reported that “US regulators are proposing reforms that would limit SPACs’ ability to make far rosier performance projections than those permitted in a traditional IPO”.
The bank Goldman Sachs has “paused new SPACs offerings and is no longer working with many of those that it helped take public”. Citi and Bank of America are also “taking a more cautious approach. BofA is doing “selective work” with those SPACs it already has a relationship with”, according to what a person familiar with the matter told FT.
