Ribbon Acquisition Corp. filed its quarterly report, reiterating a 'going concern' warning due to a working capital deficit and the risk of mandatory liquidation if a business combination is not completed by January 16, 2027. The company experienced significant redemptions of 1,436,867 public shares totaling $14.9 million, leading to a substantial decrease in its trust account balance from $51.9 million to $37.7 million during the quarter.
