-
Deadline Extension Vote
Shareholders will vote on extending the business combination deadline from October 25, 2026 to November 25, 2026, with up to six additional one-month extensions through May 25, 2027.
-
Liquidation Risk
If the extension is not approved, the company will cease operations, redeem all public shares at approximately $10.00 per share from the trust account, and liquidate — warrants would expire worthless.
-
Redemption Rights
Public shareholders may redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account regardless of how they vote, potentially reducing the trust balance and the company's ability to complete a deal.
-
Sponsor Support
The sponsor holds 21.9% of outstanding ordinary shares and will vote in favor of the extension, but has waived its right to participate in any liquidation distribution.
