DESCRIPTION

Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VI is a SPAC — a blank check company with no operations of its own. Hennessy VI raised approximately $340.9M in its October 2021 IPO, holding proceeds in a trust account invested in U.S. government securities while searching for an acquisition target. The company targets industrial technology businesses in the U.S. with enterprise values of $500M or more. Hennessy VI has signed a business combination agreement to merge with Greenstone, a gold producer operating three mines in Zimbabwe, with a stockholder vote scheduled for April 2025 and closing anticipated in Q2 2025. The deal faces meaningful execution risk: Nasdaq is delisting Hennessy VI after March 2025 for failing to complete a deal within Nasdaq's required 36-month window, and heavy redemptions across three extension votes have reduced the trust from the original $340.9M to approximately $35.4M. Hennessy VI is managed by Daniel Hennessy and Hennessy Capital Group, which has completed five prior SPAC deals since 2013 with mixed results — two targets were later sold at premiums, one (Canoo) filed for bankruptcy, and one (Hennessy V) liquidated without completing a deal. If the Greenstone deal closes, Hennessy VI's listed shell would effectively become the public vehicle for Greenstone, trading as an operating gold mining business.
