Vesper Healthcare Acquisition in a filing today disclosed it is facing four lawsuits in connection with its pending merger with HydraFacial.

This follows the SEC’s statement last week that SPAcs will need to list warrants as liabilities, not equity assets, and provide fair value statements for each financial reporting period.
