Analysis
The approval of all proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting paves the way for Pelican Acquisition Corp's merger with Greenland Energy Company, which will trade under the symbol "GLND" starting March 25, 2026. However, the high redemption rate of over 63% of outstanding shares, totaling approximately $77.7 million, significantly reduces the cash proceeds available to the newly formed company. This substantial capital outflow could impact Greenland Energy Company's financial flexibility and operational plans post-merger.
