• Auditor Raises Going Concern Doubt

  The independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing insufficient cash on hand to support operations for at least 12 months without additional financing or the completion of the proposed business combination.

• Proposed $8.1 Billion Business Combination Detailed

  The company has a definitive business combination agreement (BCA) with SWB LLC and SWB Holdings (Pubco), entered into on November 24, 2025, with an implied pre-money transaction value of approximately $8.1 billion for SWB. The combined entity plans to operate as an international financial institution focused on digital banking services.

• Secured New Related-Party Promissory Notes

  In February 2026, the company issued two unsecured promissory notes to Soulpower Management LLC (a related party) totaling up to $3.285 million for working capital. The B Note, for up to $2.5 million, will be automatically forgiven upon the consummation of the initial business combination.

• Committed Equity Facility (ELOC) for Pubco

  Pubco has entered into a committed equity facility (ELOC) of up to $250 million, with potential to increase to $5 billion, with CREO Investments LLC, which will become effective upon the closing of the business combination.

Soulpower Acquisition Corp.'s annual report highlights a critical 'going concern' warning from its independent auditor, indicating substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue operations without additional funding or the successful completion of its proposed business combination. This fundamental risk is disclosed alongside details of a definitive business combination agreement (BCA) with SWB LLC and SWB Holdings, valued at an implied $8.1 billion. The company has also secured new related-party promissory notes totaling up to $3.285 million in February 2026 to address immediate working capital needs, with a significant portion ($2.5M) contingent on the BCA's closing. Furthermore, a committed equity facility (ELOC) of up to $250 million (expandable to $5 billion) has been arranged for the post-combination entity, providing crucial financing for the combined company. While the BCA and ELOC represent a path forward for the SPAC, the explicit going concern warning underscores the precarious financial position and the high stakes involved in closing the transaction.
