Third Wave SPAC IPO Dies Before Launch

burning-money-pic3Third Wave Acquisition Corp. has just filed with the SEC to withdraw it proposed inital public offering.  You can probably guess why: In light of current market conditions.

This was a special purpose acquisition company, or a SPAC, which is chaired by Starwood Capital Group founder Barry Sternlicht.

Deutsche Bank and UBS were listed as the underwriters in the deal.

Another SPAC IPO bites the dust.
