Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corp. II

Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corp. II (Nasdaq: MUDS) is a blank-check company sponsored by Mudrick Capital Management, a New York-based alternative asset manager focused on distressed credit and special situations investing. The company filed an amended registration statement in December 2020 as part of its IPO process, targeting acquisition candidates in the consumer, media, and entertainment sectors. In April 2021, MUDS announced a proposed business combination with The Topps Company, the storied trading card and collectibles brand; however, the transaction was terminated in August 2021 after Fanatics secured Major League Baseball's trading card licensing rights, eliminating a key commercial pillar of the deal. MUDS subsequently wound down and returned capital to its shareholders. Sign up at SpacDesk for full deal timelines, sponsor histories, and SPAC filing data.
