Reading the filings
Arithmetic on what Music 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.
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.
Extension history
Shareholders have already approved 1 extension. Each one opened a redemption window, so the public float and the trust are almost certainly smaller than at IPO, and each typically came with a sponsor contribution that lifts trust per share. A vehicle on its second or third extension is one where the sponsor is paying to keep the search alive.
Warrant coverage
Each unit carried one-half 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.
Underwriting
Citigroup led the offering. It has been named on 170 SPAC IPOs, book-running 114 of them, and 53.6% 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.
From listing to the date Music Acquisition Corp must close a deal, extend again, or return the trust. The marker is today.
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.

Music Acquisition Corp: questions answered
What is Music Acquisition Corp?
Music Acquisition Corp is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001835236. It completed its initial public offering in Feb 2021, raising $230M in gross proceeds. The vehicle is sponsored by Music through Music Acquisition Sponsor, LLC. The mandate targets media & entertainment. Deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.
How much does Music Acquisition Corp hold in trust?
Approximately $231,068,629, 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 Music Acquisition Corp complete a merger?
By Feb 4, 2023, after 1 shareholder-approved extension. 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 Music 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 Music 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 $10.00 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 Music Acquisition Corp?
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 Music Acquisition Corp's founder shares and warrants create?
Each unit also carried one-half 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 Music Acquisition Corp, and what is their track record?
Music Acquisition Sponsor, LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the Music franchise. This is the only vehicle we have attributed to that sponsor. Named principals: Neil Jacobson.
Which banks underwrote the Music Acquisition Corp IPO?
Citigroup, Cantor Fitzgerald. Citigroup and Cantor Fitzgerald were credited as book-running managers on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.
Is Music Acquisition Corp a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. Music 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 Music Acquisition Corp data come from?
Filings Music Acquisition Corp submitted to the SEC under CIK 0001835236: 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.
