B. Riley Principal Merger (BRPM) Releases Redemption Results Early

B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. (BRPM), which is scheduled to hold their shareholder vote to complete their combination with Alta Equipment Holdings, Inc., on Tuesday, February 11, 2020, released their redemption results early today, which is a refreshing change of pace.  Usually we have to wait a week or so post-vote for that kind of information.  However, the reason they were able to release results early is because the deadline to redeem BRPM’s share is two days ahead of their vote and specifically by 10:00AM today (Eastern Time).

And the results today are that 1,453,762 shares out of a total of 14,375,000 public shares were submitted for redemption, or less than 11% of the total public shares. That leaves 12,921,238 shares with an estimated $131.2 million in trust, assuming an estimated redemption price of $10.15 per share.  This is a great result.  However, we still have a vote to get through, but it’s really just a formality at this point.  But it does mean, we unfortunately can’t technically move BRPM into the completed column just yet.  We’ll have to wait a few more days for that.

However, for now, the BRPM team will most likely be starting Happy Hour a little early since they just got past the hardest part of the de-SPAC process.   Cheers.
