Ya. What’s the “R” In your SPAC?
- HH浩:
  A SPAC option? Option for spac investors to exit should the acquired target is not as attractive?
- Long2themoon:
  Special Purpose Acquisition “Rights” Company. Seems to be a shell company within another shell company. Sounds convoluted but may provide better protection for investors.
