Oh. Well at that point they're no longer a SPAC, right? This same scenario of almost being broke can apply to startups and recently IPO'd companies too. Really any small company in practice.

Yes, but the goal with SPACs was to allow these kind of companies to go public without following the due diligence process of a regular IPO.

Technically yes, but oftentimes companies that were taken public via a de-SPAC merger are still referred to as SPACs in the media.
