Analysis · BDCI · Real Estate & Construction
Management now acknowledges 'substantial doubt' about the SPAC's ability to continue as a going concern. Cash has dwindled to $1.12 million, and the company cannot tap its $259 million trust for working capital until October 2026. With no operations, no revenue, and a business combination deadline of October 2027, the clock is loud. The trust assets remain intact, but the path to a deal is narrowing — and if a deal doesn't materialize, public shareholders get roughly $10.26 per share back, while the sponsors' shares and warrants become worthless.
