The month of December shows an increasing number of SPAC deal votes. SPAC merger votes can act as a market catalyst, as the votes complete the last step in the merger process and change the company over to a new name and ticker.

Last week featured five announced SPAC deals. The week also had earnings from several well-known former SPACs. Here is a look back at the week and what SPAC deals, rumors, and headline news that followed.

In SPAC news this week, Boxed will become a U.S. publicly traded company through a merger with Seven Oaks, while Infarm is reportedly in talks to go public via a merger with Kernel Group.
