Analysis · ATII · Real Estate & Construction
The last major hurdle to the de-SPAC is cleared: every proposal passed, including the Nasdaq 20% stock-issuance authorization needed to hand Forge Nano holders and PIPE investors their shares. Certified tallies show roughly 93% of votes cast favored the merger, with only about 1.1M shares against, so there is no meaningful dissent to litigate or re-solicit. What remains is mechanical — satisfying or waiving closing conditions — after which the combined company trades as Forge Nano Holdings under NANO and NANOW. Turnout of 55.9% is thin for a vote this consequential, but the margin makes the result unambiguous.
