Special-purpose acquisition company Apollo Strategic Growth Capital II said it won’t complete a business combination and will redeem its shares.

The company expects the per-share redemption price for public shares will be about $10.58. Its last trading day will be Nov. 27.

The company, which is backed by Apollo Global Management, raised $690 million in its February 2021 initial public offering, including the full exercise of the overallotment option.

In May, stockholders approved an extension of the SPAC’s deadline to complete a merger to Feb. 12, 2024, or an earlier date determined by the board. The company said in a May securities filing that it expected about $184.4 million would remain in its trust account, compared with about $708 million at April 4, due to redemptions.

In May 2022, the blank-check company Apollo Strategic Growth Capital merged with American Express Global Business Travel. Another SPAC backed by Apollo Global withdrew its IPO filing in November 2022.
