The Trump SPAC Digital World acquisition (NASDAQ:DWAC) postponed a shareholder vote to extend the deadline for concluding a deal with Donald Trump’s social media company to 3 pm on Thursday. Trump SPAC Digital World acquisition (NASDAQ:DWAC). DWAC went up 5.5%.
The remarks were given by DWAC CEO Patrick Orlando at the start of the meeting, which was initially planned at 12 p.m. According to Orlando, DWAC requires extra time to continue counting votes.
The original DWAC holder vote was postponed from Tuesday to Thursday in order to give the SPAC more time to convince retail investors to support the year extension.

If the extension is not reached, SPAC sponsor ARC Global Investments II said it intends to deposit $2.88 million into DWAC’s trust account to prolong the deadline for consummating an initial business combination for a period of three months until December 8.
DWAC has previously issued a warning that the SPAC might be put into liquidation if the arrangement isn’t extended.

Over the past few weeks, PIPE investors have been contacted by investment banks on behalf of DWAC to inquire about extending the PIPE.
The revelation that Digital World Acquisition (DWAC) will IPO Trump’s new media firm through a SPAC merger resulted in a significant surge for the company.
