November shows a continued slowdown in special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger deal votes, but the calendar includes several multibillion-dollar deals.
SPAC merger votes can act as a catalyst, as the votes complete the last step in the merger process and change the company over to a new name and ticker that can help build recognition.
Several former SPACs also saw wide swings in their share price after being de-SPAC-ed.
Here is a look at the current November SPAC merger vote dates:
