The blank-check company, trading near its $10 trust value, has finally named a target: a post-combustion carbon capture company at a $600 million pre-money enterprise value plus up to $100 million in earnout. That is the event that determines whether the SPAC delivers a deal or returns cash, so it reprices the risk profile immediately. The terms remain non-binding, and the deal needs at least $50 million of PIPE money, shareholder approval and regulatory clearance before a late-Q2 2027 target close — meaning the LOI can still fall apart, and the PIPE is the gating item to watch.
