• Extension Deadline Pushed to April 2027

  The company now seeks to extend its business combination deadline from August 19, 2026 to April 15, 2027, a significant lengthening from the previously proposed December 19, 2026 date.

• Sponsor to Convert 5M Class B Shares

  Upon approval, the sponsor will convert 4,999,999 Class B ordinary shares into Class A shares on a one-to-one basis, leaving only one Class B share outstanding and aligning economic interests with public shareholders.

• Shareholder Vote on August 11

  The extraordinary general meeting remains scheduled for August 11, 2026, with the current deadline just eight days later, creating a high-stakes vote.

• Redemption Risk Remains

  Shareholders can redeem shares in connection with the extension vote, and high redemptions could jeopardize the trust account balance needed to close the Parataxis merger.

Shareholders are being asked to approve a significantly longer deadline extension — from December 2026 to April 15, 2027 — to complete the merger with Parataxis. In a move that aligns its interests with public shareholders, the sponsor also plans to convert nearly 5 million Class B shares to Class A. The request signals that the deal needs more time, but the sponsor's conversion reduces the overhang from founder shares and may help secure the vote. With the meeting set for August 11 and the current deadline August 19, the outcome is binary: approve the extension or face potential liquidation.
