Shareholders approved an extension for Range Capital Acquisition Corp. to find a business combination, but this came at a steep cost. Over 80% of public shares were redeemed, drastically reducing the Trust Account from an implied ~$122.5 million to just $23.0 million. This severely limits the SPAC's ability to pursue a meaningful acquisition and raises significant concerns about its long-term viability, despite the sponsor providing a new promissory note to fund the extension period.
