JFB-XTEND Merger Closes; Combined Company to Trade as XTND on NYSE
JFB has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $2.45 on elevated volume (3.9× avg).
Summary
The business combination between JFB Construction Holdings and XTEND Reality Expansion Ltd. has closed, creating XTEND AI Robotics, Inc. The combined company will begin trading on the NYSE under ticker XTND on September 4, 2026, after JFB's Class A common stock ceased trading on Nasdaq today. JFB delivered approximately $67.7 million in cash, exceeding the $60 million minimum closing requirement, which is expected to support working capital and growth. This follows the amended merger agreement in July that reduced the required closing cash from $110 million to $60 million and extended the deadline. The completion marks a significant milestone for XTEND, a defense and security robotics company with over 12,500 systems deployed globally, as it transitions to a U.S.-listed public company.
