ACQ Bure is a SPAC, so really what Yubico is doing here is simply "going public"; a SPAC is just a vehicle for doing that, as is an underwritten IPO or a direct listing.

A SPAC is not "just a vehicle" for doing that. It's an intentional dodge to let companies avoid scrutiny but still go public. The use of a SPAC to do this automatically casts a bit of shade over the company.

But even ignoring that, going public itself doesn't bode well for the product regardless.
