New: 🎯 SPAC Tracker — Mergers, Redemptions, Trust Values — Track active SPACs — trust values, deadlines, redemptions & merger arb

What it does

This actor is a pay-per-result tracker for active Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. It combines SEC EDGAR full-text search of recent Form 425 filings, a curated baseline of high-profile active SPACs, and live Yahoo Finance prices so the arbitrage signal — trust value, discount-to-trust, combination deadline, redemption mechanics, and sponsor — lands in a single dataset row.

Who it's for

Special-situations and SPAC-arbitrage desks, event-driven hedge funds, and retail SPAC traders who want the SPAC-Research-Premium dataset without a $25K Bloomberg seat.

Sample fields / output

  • symbol, name, status (Searching / Announced / Voting / Completed / Liquidated)
  • target_company, target_sector (EV, Biotech, Fintech, AI, Defense, …)
  • trust_value_per_share, current_price, discount_to_trust_pct — the live arb opportunity
  • deadline_date, days_to_deadline, redemption_rate_pct
  • sponsor_name, lead_underwriters, warrant_symbol / warrant_price, data_source

Example use cases

  • Merger-arb screening — pull every Announced de-SPAC that hasn't voted yet, ranked by discount-to-trust.
  • Deadline monitoring — flag SPACs whose combination deadline falls within N days, where the trust must soon be returned.
  • Sponsor / sector analysis — filter by target sector (EV, Biotech, Fintech) or sponsor to map where new capital is forming.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

Three signals combined: SEC EDGAR full-text search of Form 425 filings (trailing ~120 days), a curated baseline of high-profile active SPACs, and live Yahoo Finance prices for real-time discount-to-trust.

What is discount-to-trust?

(trust − price) / trust × 100 — when a SPAC trades below its trust value, the gap is effectively a free option on the merger, which this field surfaces directly.

Can I filter to a stage?

Yes — filter by status (Searching, Announced, Voting, Completed, Liquidated), minimum trust value, deadline window, or target sector.
