Highly Acquisitive Strategy Raises Questions
Upland is upfront about how it uses acquisitions to facilitate its growth. Since its IPO in 2012, the firm has bought 26(!) cloud-based companies, spending over $464 million in the process. Their latest 10-Q and investor presentation state that they will continue with this strategy for the foreseeable future. According to their logic, it makes more sense to buy “proven” software products, “professionalize” their operations, and then sell them to their own established customer base. They often buy these companies from venture capital firms, seeking out what they call “orphaned” investments.

So I have been wondering about SPAC's and whether they would attempt to raise money after they got going ... can they have a secondary and then buy another company? This is cofusing stuff.

The guy that started our Flying Eagle which then became Skillz he is back with an idea that has to do with extra funds but i cannot figure out whether owners of the parent co would get any of the newly created co <----

This Could Be The Future... when you ask for too much money buy something smaller and then spin out your SPAC.. this may be a bridge to far. This is close to jumping the SPAC shark...

SPAC veteran Eli Baker has filed a prospectus for a $1.5 billion IPO for Spinning Eagle Acquisition Corp., introducing a new innovation that would allow the vehicle to “rightsize” by spinning off part of itself if all of the capital is not needed for a single transaction.

Spinning Eagle will raise $1.5 billion to be used toward a target acquisition in any industry. That marks one of the largest SPAC deal to date aside from the $4 billion raised by William Ackman’s Pershing Square Tontine Holdings and Churchill Capital Corp IV.

Mr. Baker is well known for recent successful deals including gaming platforms DraftKings Inc. and Skillz Inc. , which have quintupled and doubled, respectively, since listing in 2020. He has once again hired The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. as an advisor on the deal.

The spin option appears to be a smart way to raise the most possible capital while Mr. Baker’s deal prowess is in extremely high demand – even if it’s not all needed for his favored target.

“In the event that we determine not to use all of the proceeds held in the trust account for our initial business combination, based on the capital needs of our initial business combination target and related factors, we will have the ability to rightsize our trust account by allocating a portion of our trust account to a new blank check company, which we refer to as SpinCo, and spinning off SpinCo as an independent, publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company,” the filing said. “If we elect to effect a spin-off, we will designate a specific amount of the proceeds then held in the trust account for our initial business combination, and, prior to our entry into the definitive agreement for the initial business combination, contribute the excess amount to a trust account of SpinCo, in exchange for units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants of SpinCo.”<-----

Van How do you read that... Do you get shares of SpinCo for holding Spinning Eagle....?????

Next up, Foley Trasimene Acquisition II (BFT Stock Report) is another trending SPAC stock in the market. The company aims to dominate the U.S. gaming market with payment solutions Skrill and Neteller (formerly known as Moneybookers) through the acquisition of Paysafe Group. You could say it’s offering a similar service to PayPal (PYPL Stock Report). The difference? PayPal offers users the ability to trade cryptocurrencies, while Paysafe allows its users to engage in online gambling.

These online wallets could be a great value for the company. You see, when you go to a physical casino, the first thing you probably want to do is to get your chips straight to the table, right? You wouldn’t want to queue up to get the credit for the game. The same thing applies here. Banks and credit card providers could be very time consuming, not to mention that they can charge a high fee if you want to engage in online gambling.

Van... that hits a lot of your buzzwords.... I could flip Skillz into this maybe after Skilz earngs.....
