500 shares DWAC that I plan to hold long term, and 2,000 warrants DWACW that I'm going to play by ear. Been holding for 2.5 years now, so I'm eager to see how it plays out.
Is this one of those sell your car, buy dwac, bite the bullet and bus it to work for a while so you can upgrade to a Lambo after the merger kinda things?
Have you seen anything about the DWACW conversion plan? I assume $11.50 to purchase the new shares is likely, but my understanding is there are other possibilities on how this is handled.
I saved a screenshot from a post on here a few weeks ago, and just copy/paste this from it…
Each
whole
warrant
entitles
the
registered holder to purchase one share
of our Class A common stock at a price
of $11.50 per
share, subject
to
adjustment as discussed below, at any
time commencing on the later of 12
months from the closing of this offering
and 30 days after the completion of our
initial business combination. Pursuant to
the warrant agreement, a warrant holder
may exercise its warrants only for
whole number of shares of Class
A
common stock. This means that only
a
whole warrant may be exercised at any
given time by a warrant holder.
No
fractional warrants will be issued upon
separation of the units and only whole
warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless
you purchase at least two units, you will
not be able to receive or trade a whole
warrant.
The warrants will expire five years after
the completion of our initial business
combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, or earlier upon redemption or
liquidation. believe this is referring to
IPO of WAC which was 03SEP2021,
so it would be in 2026, unless it has
been extended]
At one point, I thought there was another SPAC example in which they basically handled the conversion for you. I think it was something like they took the current share price, subtract $11.50, and then you get the equivalent amount of shares. What you pasted is the more likely scenario. There is also an unanswered question about the tax implication and whether there is capital gains involved.

“Play by ear” means haven’t decided what color Lambo yet 😆😆😆

I hope that's how it works
