Analysis · QETA · Real Estate & Construction
Quetta Acquisition Corp is asking shareholders to approve a new extension mechanism that would allow it to push its business combination deadline from October 10, 2026 all the way to October 10, 2027, while cutting the monthly extension deposit from $60,000 to just $5,000. The company has already paid $120,000 in extension fees over the past two months and faces liquidation if it cannot close its $200 million merger with Smart Kreate Group. The reduced fee structure conserves capital but also signals the deal is taking longer than expected, and the proxy warns that heavy redemptions could trigger Nasdaq delisting.
