Why do SPAC warrants only become exercisable 30 days after the de-SPAC transaction?

Personal Finance & Money Asked on August 29, 2021

I noticed that most (all?) SPAC warrants only become exercisable on the later of: (a) 12 months after the SPAC’s IPO date, (b) 30 days after the de-SPAC transaction. I am surprised by this uniformity across many SPACs. What could be the reason(s) for the 30-day delay before the warrants can be exercised?

I have read this informative article — Special Purpose Acquisition Companies: An Introduction, which mentions the 30-days’ delay but does not explain the reason for it.

One Answer

Warrant redemptions dilute the common shares, leading to a drop in price in most cases.

Here's an article that discusses dilution. I leave it to you to determine if it answers your question properly.
