Synopsis & Listing Information
African Gold Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company focused on identifying gold mining assets in Africa. The company was led by prominent figures in the mining industry, including Robert Hersov and Christopher Chadwick.
Corporate Scandal & Delisting: In early 2023, the company’s former CFO, Cooper Morgenthau, pleaded guilty to wire fraud involving the embezzlement of more than $5 million from African Gold and other SPACs. Following this, the company failed to file necessary SEC reports for 2022 and 2023.
Liquidation: On August 30, 2023, the company announced it would redeem its shares and shut down after the NYSE determined to delist the SPAC.
Trust Redemption: The trust account was liquidated, and public shares were redeemed by September 11, 2023, at a price of approximately $10.62 per share.
Warrant Status: In accordance with the company’s charter and the warrant agreement, the warrants were only exercisable upon the completion of a business combination. Because the company liquidated without a merger, the warrants (AGAC.WS) became worthless and were canceled with no distribution to holders.
Current Status: As of May 2026, the company is fully dissolved and the AGAC.WS ticker is inactive. (Note: A separate entity, "African Gold Limited" (ASX:A1G), was acquired by Montage Gold in April 2026, but it is unrelated to this SPAC).
