This forward purchase agreement materially reduces the risk of a high redemption rate that could deplete the combined company's cash. Monitor the shareholder vote and the final redemption tally — if redemptions are low, the post-merger cash position will be significantly stronger. The stock should trade closer to the trust value (~$10.65) as deal completion risk diminishes.
