Willow Lane Acquisition Corp.'s sponsor, Willow Lane Sponsor, LLC, and Goodrich ILMJS LLC (SPV) have amended their transfer agreement. This amendment delays the SPV's purchase of 27.5% of the Sponsor's Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants, valued at $2.23 million, from immediately prior to the merger closing to up to six months post-closing. While this is a procedural change related to the ongoing SPAC merger with Boost Run Inc., it prolongs the period before this internal ownership transfer is finalized. The filing also highlights the significant profit the Sponsor stands to make from this transaction ($1.75 per Founder Share vs. $0.005 cost), which can be a point of concern for public shareholders, especially as the company previously disclosed a "going concern" warning in its last 10-K.
