Two special purpose acquisition companies run by the same CEO who heads the soaring SPAC that’s bringing former President Donald Trump’s nascent media company public rallied Friday on apparent hopes that they’ll soon see similar market success.
Shares and investment units of $Benessere Capital Acquisition Corp (BENE.US)$ and Yunhong International $Yunhong International Units 1 Cl A Ord Shs 1/2 Red Wt And 1 Rt (ZGYH.US)$ rose along with sister SPAC $Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.US)$.
DWAC is the special purpose acquisition company that agreed Thursday to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group at a $1.7B valuation. Its stock shot up to as high as $175 intraday Friday on continued enthusiasm for the deal.
That’s 1,657% above the $9.96 that Digital World Acquisition Corp closed at on Wednesday before announcing a SPAC merger with Trump’s new company.
The rally apparently spilled over to Benessere Capital and Yunhong International . Both SPACs are headed by Patrick Orlando, the same CEO of DWAC.
