Silver Spike Acquisition Corp II Announces Redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares
March 13 2023 - 9:23PM
Silver Spike Acquisition Corp II (the “Company”) today announced
that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares
(the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), effective as of March 27, 2023,
because the Company will not consummate an initial business
combination within the time period required by its amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”).
As stated in the Company’s Articles, if the Company does not
consummate an initial business combination within 24 months of the
closing of the Company’s initial public offering, or March 15,
2023, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but
not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Class A
Ordinary Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to
the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company’s trust account
(the “Trust Account”) held with Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company (“Continental”), including interest earned on the
funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the
Company (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income
to pay liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then
outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, which redemption will
completely extinguish the rights of the holders of Class A Ordinary
Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation
distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the
remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and
dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the
Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for
claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other
requirements of applicable law.
Net of taxes and dissolution expenses, the per-share redemption
price for the Class A Ordinary Shares is expected to be
approximately $10.22 (the “Redemption Amount”).
The Company anticipates that the Class A Ordinary Shares will
cease trading as of the close of business on March 24, 2023. As of
March 27, 2023, the Class A Ordinary Shares will be deemed
cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the
Redemption Amount. After March 27, 2023, the Company shall
cease all operations except for those required to wind up the
Company’s business.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions
with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire
worthless. The Company’s initial shareholders waived their
redemption rights with respect to the outstanding Class B ordinary
shares issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering.
In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the Trust
Account, the Company has instructed Continental to take all
necessary actions to liquidate the Trust Account. Registered
holders may redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the
proceeds of the Trust Account upon presentation of their respective
share or unit certificates or other delivery of their shares or
units to Continental, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial
owners of Class A Ordinary Shares held in “street name,” however,
will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption
Amount. The redemption of the Class A Ordinary Shares is expected
to be completed within ten business days after March 15, 2023.
The Company expects that The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC will file a
Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) to delist its securities. The Company thereafter expects to
file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its
securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
