Analysis · QETA · Real Estate & Construction
Shareholders approved a 12-month extension for Quetta Acquisition Corp to complete its SPAC merger, but the vote triggered a massive redemption wave: 1,550,843 shares were redeemed at approximately $11.89 per share, draining roughly $18.4 million from the trust account. Only 149,860 shares remain outstanding — a 96% reduction from the 3,747,748 shares entitled to vote. This leaves the company with a dramatically reduced public float and trust balance as it pursues the $200 million merger with Smart Kreate Group Limited. The extension buys time, but the redemption exodus signals that most public shareholders preferred cash over the pending deal.
