• Extension Proposal for Business Combination Deadline

  Shareholders will vote on amending the company's charter and trust agreement to extend the deadline for completing a business combination from January 22, 2026, to January 22, 2027, through up to twelve one-month extensions.

• Business Combination with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp. in Progress

  The SPAC has already entered into a business combination agreement with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp. and confidentially submitted a draft proxy statement/prospectus (Form F-4) to the SEC.

• Shareholder Redemption Rights

  Public shareholders have the option to redeem their shares for cash, estimated at approximately $10.35 per share, if the extension is approved. This redemption price was slightly above the stock's closing price on the December 22, 2025 record date.

• Liquidation Risk if Extension Not Approved

  Failure to approve the extension proposals would result in the company's liquidation by January 22, 2026, with public shareholders receiving a pro-rata distribution from the trust account.

This proxy statement outlines a critical vote for Columbus Acquisition Corp's future. The proposed extension is necessary for the SPAC to complete its announced business combination with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp., avoiding immediate liquidation. While the extension provides crucial time, it also introduces the risk of further redemptions, which could reduce the capital available for the merger. Investors should weigh the benefits of allowing the company to pursue its deal against the potential for reduced trust assets and the ongoing costs associated with the extension. The company also highlights the risk of being deemed an investment company if funds remain in the trust account for too long, and plans to mitigate this by holding funds in cash.
