Clean Earth Acquisitions Corp. (CLINU) priced its SPAC IPO on Wednesday night (Feb. 23, 2022) – just ahead of breaking news that Russia had attacked Ukraine. Clean Earth’s stock and warrants are expected to start trading today (Thursday, Feb. 24) on the NASDAQ. The Wall Street Journal reports that the NASDAQ Composite Index is edging closer to entering a bear market at the open today.
With the bear’s claws just inches away from its neck, the IPO market is likely to stay in stealth mode.
The pricing of Clean Earth Acquisitions Corp.’s IPO marks the 42nd SPAC or blank-check deal to get done so far in 2022, according to SPACInsider. Citigroup was the sole book-runner for the Clean Earth Acquisitions deal, while JonesTrading was the co-manager.
Four deals – a small-cap cannabis IPO and three SPAC IPOs – are on the IPO Calendar for pricing tonight (Thursday, Feb. 24) – to trade Friday. The IPO Calendar was very light for this four-day week. The U.S. stock market was closed Monday for the Presidents Day holiday.

More small-cap IPOs and SPAC IPOs continue to flow into the SEC’s filing window at a modest pace. But big bank names and deals at $100 million or up are few and far between.
Stay tuned.
Note: Never trade on proposed symbols. They have been known to change and you might buy something on the OTC Bulletin Board.
