BCLS Acquisition Corp.
Bain Capital Life Sciences SPAC

Currently: $11.10
52 wk high: $12.08
52 wk low: $10.15
Avg. volume: 46k

First of the 5 SPACs near NAV we tweeted on Sunday. We’re a big fan of this one, and we think it’s a super overlooked SPAC.
Do your own research before buying or selling anything.

Let’s dive into it ⬇️
$BLSA raised $125 million by offering 12.5 million shares at $10.

You may ask yourself, why can’t I find the warrants for it?
“The SPAC did not offer warrants that would become exercisable following completion of the initial business combination.”
$BLSA

The company plans to target the healthcare industry, particularly businesses primarily based in North America and Europe in the biopharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostics, and enabling life science technology fields

This opens a ton of doors
$BLSA is led by co-founders and managing directors of Bain Capital Life Sciences.

Chairman: Adam Koppel 
CEO/Director: Jeffrey Schwartz.
CFO: Andrew Hack
Director: Allene Diaz
Director: Barry Greene
Director: Vikas Sinha

Out of those 22 companies, 9 have gone on to become publicly traded.

Early investors in:
$ANNX
$ARQT
$NRIX
$REPL

(1/2) $BLSA
BCLS also invested in $SWTX among others.

Great track record for $BLSA ‘s team.
Take a minute to comprehend the growth displayed in those 5 charts.

$BLSA is the same team that who invested in those companies at a early stage. They’re invested in 13 private companies as well. Lots of opportunities.

They’ve met with over 1,200 companies.
$BLSA isn’t a super old SPAC by any means, but it has had some interesting price action in it’s few konths.

The jump to $12.09 one day on low volume is notable
$BLSA is not prohibited from pursuing a merger with a company affiliated with Bain Capital Life Sciences.

They’ve had a lot of public investment success, we’re confident they have good private investments that they’re attempting to help bring public at some point soon.

Adage Capital Partners bought 1,237,500 shares (8.33%).
Adage Capital Partners is a common investor in SPACs we like, they’re in $SPRQ and $BOAC (mentioned in our threads on those)
They have a good reputation, for a reason.
That pretty much sums up our $BLSA thread. It’s a super overlooked SPAC (judging by volume). New DD thread coming tomorrow, will be one of the 4 remaining SPACs from the list.

We’re a big fan of this one, and we hope people see why. We have a position and plan (1/2)
to hold until a deal is announced, and potentially longer (will re evaluate on announcement). $BLSA
