• Going Concern Risk Disclosed

  Management states it is uncertain the SPAC will complete a business combination by June 2028, though current liquidity and time remaining alleviate substantial doubt. Failure to close a deal would force liquidation and warrant expiration.

• Financial Position

  $359M held in trust, $1.1M in cash, and $53.9K in current liabilities. The SPAC can access up to $600K/year in trust interest for working capital.

• Non-Cash Warrant Loss

  A $717.6K loss from the change in fair value of public warrant liabilities — a non-cash mark-to-market adjustment, not a cash outflow or dilution.

• Deferred Fee Overhang

  $10.8M in deferred underwriting fees and $10.8M in advisory fees are payable only upon a business combination, creating a significant future obligation.

Gores Holdings XI, a $363M SPAC that went public in June 2026, filed its first quarterly report. The company holds $359M in trust and $1.1M in cash, but management acknowledges the uncertainty of completing a business combination by the June 2028 deadline. While they state that current liquidity and time remaining alleviate substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern, the disclosure itself is a red flag for a blank-check company. The $905K net loss includes a non-cash $717.6K charge from warrant liability remeasurement — not a cash outflow or dilution, but a mark-to-market adjustment driven by the share price. The filing also reveals $21.5M in deferred underwriting and advisory fees payable only upon a deal closing, creating a significant overhang.
