With the SEC declaring the S-4 effective on August 3, the last major regulatory hurdle for the $1 billion merger with ONE Nuclear has been cleared. The shareholder vote is now set for August 24, with a record date of July 31. This moves the deal from pending to imminent — shareholders will decide whether to approve the combination or redeem their shares. The combined company will trade as 'ONEN' on Nasdaq. While the stock near its 52-week high suggests the market is pricing in a high probability of approval, the redemption deadline of August 20 remains a key risk: if too many shareholders cash out, the deal could still fail.
