Reading the filings
Arithmetic on what DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp has disclosed, written the way a desk would read it. These are observations, not a rating. Nothing here scores the vehicle or implies a view on it.
Trading at a discount to trust
At $9.99 the shares change hands 0.89% below the $10.08 they can be redeemed for. A holder buying here is paid that spread to carry deadline and redemption risk until the vote, and the trust keeps accreting underneath it.
Trust versus the $10 unit
The trust holds $10.08 per public share, 0.8% above the $10.00 the units were sold at. That spread is accrued interest on the trust and, where the charter provides for it, sponsor contributions paid in to buy more time. It is the floor a public shareholder can redeem at, not a valuation of the business.
Time on the clock
358 days to the Aug 28, 2027 deadline. The vehicle is early in its search window, and the deadline is not yet the binding constraint.
Underwriting
Maxim Group led the offering. It has been named on 31 SPAC IPOs, book-running 23 of them, and 28.6% of its resolved vehicles closed a deal. The syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target, but the quality of the book at pricing shapes who ends up holding the units.

Edge reads the setup, not the business. A vehicle can score well on protection and still be a poor place to leave money once a deal closes.

Attention is not quality. FOMO rises on news volume and on the market paying above trust, both of which have preceded plenty of disappointments.

searching
Potential is about execution, not about the target. It says nothing about whether the eventual deal is worth owning, because the target is usually unknown when the score is computed.
These are derived measures, not ratings of investment merit. They carry no view on the target, no price target and no recommendation, and a high score is not a reason to buy anything.

DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp: questions answered
What is DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp (DGAC)?
DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Cayman Islands and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002111038. It completed its initial public offering in May 2026, raising $157.5M in gross proceeds and listing on NYSE. Class A shares trade under the ticker DGAC, units under DGAC-UN on NYSE. The vehicle is sponsored by Disciplined Growth through Disciplined Growth Sponsor LLC. The mandate targets generalist. IPO closed, trust funded, no definitive agreement announced.
How much does DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp hold in trust?
Approximately $158,824,968, or about $10.08 per public share, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.
When must DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp complete a merger?
By Aug 28, 2027. If no combination closes by then the sponsor must seek a further extension or wind the vehicle up and return the trust.
What happens if DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp does not find a target in time?
The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.
Can I redeem shares in DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp, and at what price?
Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $10.08 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.
What tickers does DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp trade under?
Class A shares trade as DGAC on NYSE, the units as DGAC-UN. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.
Is the trust value the same as the share price for DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp?
No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.08, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $9.99, a discount of 0.89% to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.
Who sponsors DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp, and what is their track record?
Disciplined Growth Sponsor LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the Disciplined Growth franchise. This is the only vehicle we have attributed to that sponsor. Named principals: Robert Wotczak.
Which banks underwrote the DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp IPO?
Maxim Group. Maxim Group was credited as book-running manager on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.
Is DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp tradeable, and where?
Yes. DGAC returned a live quote of $9.99 on NYSE. Quotes here are delayed and refreshed on a schedule rather than streamed, so treat the figure as indicative and confirm on your own venue. Units and warrants trade under their own symbols and are quoted separately.
Is DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.
Where does this DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp data come from?
Filings DISCIPLINED GROWTH ACQUISITION Corp submitted to the SEC under CIK 0002111038: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
