The warrants allowed investors to participate in the potential upside of a business combination. At the time of the de-SPAC, there were no direct competitors to the warrants themselves; the value was tied to the performance of the underlying equity and the overall market sentiment towards de-SPAC transactions. The common stock now trades under the name Novibet (NVBT) and the warrants now trade as NVBTW. The warrants are now tied to the future performance of Novibet.
