• Shareholder Meeting Scheduled for Merger Vote

  An extraordinary general meeting is scheduled for June 15, 2026, for shareholders to vote on the business combination with ReserveOne, Inc., a digital asset company.

• Substantial Capital Raise with Dilution

  The transaction includes a $500 million Equity PIPE and $250 million Convertible Notes PIPE, totaling $750 million in new financing. This capital infusion is critical for the early-stage target but will significantly dilute existing public shareholders.

• Concentrated Voting Control

  Post-merger, public shareholders will own approximately 35% of Pubco Class A Common Stock, representing only 14% of the total voting power. The Sponsor will hold 100% of Pubco Class B Common Stock, granting it 61% of the total voting power.

• Unfavorable Pricing and High Risk

  The Equity PIPE is priced at $10.00 per share, below the current stock price of $10.85, while the company trades near its 52-week low. The target is an early-stage company with no operating history, exposed to the high volatility and regulatory uncertainty of digital assets.

M3-Brigade Acquisition V Corp. has filed a definitive proxy statement (DEFM14A) for its business combination with ReserveOne, Inc., an early-stage digital asset company. The shareholder meeting is set for June 15, 2026. The transaction involves a substantial $750 million in PIPE financing ($500M Equity PIPE and $250M Convertible Notes PIPE), which is critical for the target's operations but comes with significant dilution for existing public shareholders. Post-merger, public shareholders are projected to own only 35% of Pubco Class A Common Stock, representing a mere 14% of the total voting power. The Sponsor, through its Class B Common Stock, will control 61% of the voting power, creating a concentrated control structure. The Equity PIPE is priced at $10.00 per share, which is below the current stock price of $10.85, and the company is trading near its 52-week low. Extensive conflicts of interest are disclosed, particularly for the Sponsor and management, whose founder shares and warrants would be worthless if the merger does not close. The target's early-stage nature and exposure to highly volatile digital assets introduce substantial risk.
