Analysis · LPBB · Manufacturing
Shareholders approved the six-month extension, but the vote came at a steep price: 18.3 million of the 23 million public shares were redeemed at $10.84 each, draining roughly $198.6 million from the trust. Only 4.68 million public shares remain. The sponsor is paying investors 256,061 founder shares per month to stay in — a costly retention mechanism that underscores how close the SPAC came to liquidation. With the NuCube Energy merger still pending and the trust now largely depleted, the company has until April 9, 2027 to close the deal or face dissolution.
