(Note: ESH Acquisition Corp. priced its SPAC IPO  on June 13, 2023, in sync with the terms in its prospectus: 10 million units at $10.00 each to raise $100.0 million. At pricing, ESH Acquisition Corp. became the 16th SPAC IPO priced so far in 2023. Background: ESH Acquisition Corp. cut its SPAC IPO by two-thirds – or 67 percent – in an S-1/A filing dated May 22, 2023, to 10.0 million units – down from 30.0 million units initially – and kept the SPAC IPO price at $10.00 per unit – to raise $100.0 million. In the May 22, 2023, filing with the SEC, ESH Acquisition also changed the composition of its units. Each unit will now consist of one share of common stock and one right to receive 1/10th (one-tenth) of a share of stock at the completion of the initial business combination. Previously each unit was to have consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to buy one share. The New York-based blank check company filed its S-1 in May 2022.)
