Meyer Wilson Investigates Class Acceleration Corp.
In 2021, we witnessed the inception of Class Acceleration Corp., designed specifically for a select ensemble of savvy investors. By integrating into this special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), these individuals assumed the role of stockholders, stepping onto a path brimming with high expectations for potential returns. At its core, Class Acceleration Corp. was structured as a “blank check company,” which essentially aimed to acquire or merge with a private company, taking it public. This, in turn, placed significant investment in the acquired or merged company, with the goal of generating returns for stockholders.
At Meyer Wilson, we advocate for investors harmed by broker misconduct or Investment fraud. Having successfully recovered over $350 million for our clientele and advocating for thousands of investors, our experience stretches wide and deep. Our commitment goes beyond just our cases and advocacy for uninformed investors remains a key core value of our firm.

The Journey Through a SPAC Merger
A pivotal moment was expected when Class Acceleration Corp. would embark on a monumental “Business Combination” with a private company, marking the SPAC’s transition to a publicly-traded entity. However, on December 20, 2022, the stockholders of Class Acceleration Corp. approved an extension of the deadline to complete a business combination from January 20, 2023, to June 20, 2023, and also approved the ability for the Board to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date.
Understanding SPACs Like Class Acceleration Corp.
SPACs served as vehicles for private companies to go public, operating outside the traditional initial public offering (IPO) process and usually attracting a particular breed of accredited investors. These investment avenues, known for their unique structure, fell outside the ambit of SEC registration for traditional IPOs, rendering them complex instruments characterized by varying degrees of transparency and regulatory scrutiny. The inherent risks associated with SPACs included:
- Liquidity and transparency issues.
- Complexities and challenges in comprehension.
- Limited regulatory oversight.
- A constant threat of investment fraud.

Investors Faced Uncertainty as Class Acceleration Corp. Liquidated
The announcement by Class Acceleration Corp. to liquidate and dissolve the company raised concerns among investors. The decision, made during the stockholders’ meeting on December 20, 2022, set in motion a series of events that culminated in the redemption of all Class A Common Stock before the end of the year.
In a formal notification to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the company requested the suspension of trading for its securities, effective before the market opened on December 30, 2022. This move was a precursor to the redemption process, which saw all outstanding public shares redeemed at a per-share price determined by the aggregate amount held in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the deposits, net of taxes and dissolution expenses.
The liquidation cast a shadow of uncertainty over investors, who faced the prospect of navigating the redemption process and potentially seeking alternative investment opportunities. The company’s decision raised questions about the underlying factors that led to this outcome and highlighted the inherent risks associated with investing in publicly traded entities. As the countdown to December 31, 2022, began, investors were advised to closely monitor the situation and seek professional guidance to understand the implications of the liquidation on their investment portfolios. The redemption process unfolded swiftly, leaving little room for delays or uncertainties.
In the wake of this development, the investment community scrutinized the circumstances surrounding Class Acceleration Corp.’s decision, seeking insights and lessons that could inform future investment strategies and risk management practices.
