Analysis · BBCQ · Real Estate & Construction
The shareholder vote on August 25, 2026 approved the business combination with Pasqal, clearing the final major hurdle for the $2.0 billion SPAC merger. The vote passed with 21.47 million shares in favor versus 2.62 million against. Critically, 26.04 million Class A shares — roughly 90% of the 28.75 million Class A shares outstanding — were redeemed, which will significantly reduce the cash available to the combined company. This redemption level is a material development because the company's Q2 10-Q had already flagged a going concern with only $866K in cash and a $5.16M working capital deficit. The merger can now proceed, but the high redemption rate means the combined entity will need to rely heavily on the $250 million PIPE and other financing to fund operations.
