Hawks Acquisition in an 8-K said its sponsor will deposit 3 cents a share, not to exceed $125,000 a month, for each month of an extension that would be in effect until Nov. 13. Today’s required deposit has been made, according to the filing.
Last week shareholders voted to approve the extension, although redemptions totaling $192.54 million left approximately $40.64 million in trust prior to the sponsor’s anticipated monthly contributions going forward.
