-
$60,000 Monthly Extension Cost

Analysis · SSEA · Real Estate & Construction
Shareholders approved the full 12-month runway to November 7, 2027, but 3,895,270 shares were redeemed in the process — a large slice of the public float leaving the trust just as the company needs cash to close the SuperiorMed deal. Each monthly extension now costs $60,000 (or $0.033 per remaining public share, whichever is less), and missing a deposit for 30 days automatically forces a full public-share redemption. With cash outside the trust already down to $6,081 and a going-concern warning in the Q2 10-Q, the sponsor is effectively funding the clock month by month while the merger vote is still ahead.
