Rose Hill Acquisition in an 8-K said it has filed a winding up petition in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Rose Hill in November terminated a merger agreement with Prize Superfoods, an exporter of “superfruits” based in Chile. That scotched deal was announced in October 2022 at an initial enterprise value of approximately $425 million.
Rose Hill stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq that same month because the SPAC had fallen out of compliance with a listing rule requiring at least 500,000 shares on the exchange. The Nasdaq delisted the stock after Rose Hill said it would not seek a review of the decision.
