Reading the filings

Arithmetic on what Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE 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.

  • Trust versus the $10 unit

    The trust holds $10.00 per public share, effectively the $10.00 the units were sold at, so little or no interest has accrued to the account yet.

  • Warrant coverage

    Each unit carried one-third warrant per unit. Warrants are dilution deferred: they cost the holder nothing until exercised, and they overhang the post-combination share count. Thinner coverage is generally a sign of a stronger book at pricing.

  • Sponsor record

    The Gores Group has launched 18 vehicles. Of the 16 that have resolved, 12 closed a combination and 4 liquidated, a 75% completion rate. A sponsor's record is not a forecast, but it does tell you whether the team has taken a deal across the line before.

  • Underwriting

    Deutsche Bank led the offering. It has been named on 83 SPAC IPOs, book-running 19 of them, and 65.4% 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.

How busy it has been

Filings per month since the first one. A vehicle that has gone quiet with a deadline ahead is a different proposition from one that is still working.

Last 90 days

Nothing in the last 90 days that names this vehicle. We attribute a story only when the release carries the ticker or the registered name, so an empty section means no press release or wire story matched — not that nothing was published. The filings below are the primary record either way.

Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE: questions answered

What is Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE?

Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001758057. It completed its initial public offering in Feb 2019, raising $400M in gross proceeds. The vehicle is sponsored by The Gores Group through Gores Metropoulos Sponsor LLC. The mandate targets consumer. Business combination closed; the company trades under a new ticker.

How much does Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE hold in trust?

Approximately $405,725,195, or about $10.00 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 Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE complete a merger?

No combination deadline appears in the filings we have indexed. The date is stated in the charter and repeated in each quarterly report; where our parser could not establish it with confidence we leave it blank rather than infer one.

What happens if Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE 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 Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE, 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 $10.00 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.

Is the trust value the same as the share price for Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE?

No. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure: what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at, which can sit above the trust when a deal is well received or below it when the market doubts one will close. We do not have a current quote for this vehicle, so no spread is shown.

How much dilution do Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE's founder shares and warrants create?

Each unit also carried one-third warrant per unit, which is dilution deferred until exercise. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.

Who sponsors Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE, and what is their track record?

Gores Metropoulos Sponsor LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the The Gores Group franchise. That franchise has launched 18 vehicles in total, of which 12 closed a combination and 4 liquidated, a 75% completion rate on resolved vehicles. Named principals: Alec Gores, Dean Metropoulos, Mark Stone.

Which banks underwrote the Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE IPO?

Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.

Is Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE a good investment?

That is not a question this site answers. Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE 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 Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE data come from?

Filings Luminar Technologies, Inc./DE submitted to the SEC under CIK 0001758057: 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.

Compiled by the SPACListing research desk

Last reconciled Nov 1, 2026

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.
