Analysis · RFAI · Real Estate & Construction
The final major hurdle for the SPAC merger has been cleared, with shareholders voting overwhelmingly to approve the business combination with Nanyang Biologics Pte. Ltd. The tally was decisive: 6,765,584 shares for versus 440,604 against. However, preliminary redemption requests total 3,956,323 shares — nearly half of the 8,343,765 shares outstanding — which would significantly reduce the trust account proceeds available to the combined company. The final redemption figure remains uncertain until closing, but the high redemption level signals that many shareholders prefer cash over the merger, potentially leaving the post-combination entity with less capital than anticipated.
