• Merger Agreement Details Finalized

  Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. filed an S-4 to register shares for its business combination with KIKA Technology Inc., valuing KIKA at $80 million. KIKA shareholders will receive 7,980,050 Wintergreen ordinary shares at a deemed value of $10.025 per share.

• Extreme Dilution for Public Shareholders

  Existing public shareholders, who currently own approximately 80% of Wintergreen, face significant dilution, with their ownership potentially falling to 34.8% in a no-redemption scenario and 0% if all public shares are redeemed. The sponsor's shares were acquired at a significantly lower cost basis of approximately $1.55 per share compared to the IPO price of $10.00.

• KIKA's Financial Performance and Growth

  KIKA reported net losses for the year ended June 30, 2025 ($172,819) and the six months ended December 31, 2025 ($226,824). However, revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased by 1348.6% year-over-year, driven by new high-value clients and the launch of a new Custom Software Development Services segment.

• Minimum Cash Condition and Nasdaq Listing Risks

  The merger is conditioned on Wintergreen having at least $5,000,001 in net tangible assets post-closing. KIKA can waive this condition, which could leave the combined company with insufficient capital and potentially jeopardize its Nasdaq listing, as the $5M threshold also supports listing requirements.

Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. (WTG) filed a definitive S-4 registration statement detailing its proposed $80 million business combination with KIKA Technology Inc. This transaction, which follows the proposed merger announcement in the company's last 10-K, is highly dilutive for existing public shareholders, who could see their ownership reduced from approximately 80% to as low as 0% in a maximum redemption scenario. The merger will result in KIKA shareholders owning up to 76.2% of the combined entity, and the company potentially becoming a 'controlled company' under Nasdaq rules. While KIKA has shown recent revenue growth and the merger provides access to public capital, the significant dilution, KIKA's recent net losses, and the SPAC's own 'going concern' warning, coupled with the risks around meeting the $5 million minimum cash condition and potential Nasdaq delisting, present substantial risks for current WTG public shareholders.
