Analysis · LOKV · Trade & Services

V to meet the minimum cash condition for its de-SPAC merger with Teamshares Inc., especially given the company's recent "going concern" warning. However, the agreement requires Live Oak to pay approximately $42.2 million from its Trust Account to the FPA Investor at closing.
