In the filings


3 filed 2026-07-27 — SEC Form 3 initial statement of beneficial ownership. The filing reports that Director and Co-CEO Van Dyk Nicolas Anton stated there are 'No non-deri…

Why it matters: This routine compliance exhibit establishes a verified governance baseline for Catalyst Acquisition’s co-leadership without introducing operational disclosures, customer contracts, revenue metrics, market projections, technology roadmap details, partnership announcements, or litigation updates. The document attributes the zero-position s….

CATL dossier 0001213900-26-081948opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-07-27 — 8-K of Brand Engagement Network Inc. Item 2.02 (results of operations and financial condition): on July 27, 2026 the Company issued a press release a…

Why it matters: The figure is described as preliminary and unaudited and covers a six-month period that ended on the day the acquisition closed, so almost none of it was earned under the Company's ownership. It is a statement about the acquired business's scale, not about the registrant's reported revenue, and the report gives no comparative and no shar….

DHCA dossier 0001493152-26-034718opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-07-27 — 8-K of FOXO Technologies Inc. Item 1.01 (entry into a material definitive agreement): on July 22, 2026 subsidiary Vector BioSource, Inc. entered an a…

Why it matters: Closing turns on licences the buyer does not yet hold: a new and separate FDA licence independent of the Seller's, a separate CLIA certification in Tennessee and any other operating state, and a waste-management permit from the applicable Miami city authority, alongside customary conditions. Either party may terminate if closing has not ….

DWIN dossier 0001493152-26-034793opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-07-27 — 8-K of BuzzFeed, Inc. Item 2.05 (costs associated with exit or disposal activities): on July 22, 2026 the Board approved a reduction in workforce pla…

Why it matters: The majority of the charges are cash and are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026, against expected annualised savings of approximately $29.0 million to $32.0 million beginning primarily in the third quarter of 2026. A 35% headcount cut is a change in the size of the business, not a cost programme, and it was appr….

ENFA dossier 0001828972-26-000125opens on sec.gov in a new tab

S-4 filed 2026-07-27 — Form S-4 of OppFi Inc., the successor to FG New America Acquisition Corp., preliminary and subject to completion dated July 27, 2026. It registers th…

Why it matters: This is the baseline version of the OppFi/BNCC registration: the economic terms — $19.375 cash and a fixed 1.90 exchange ratio — are already final here, while every number that depends on a measurement date is blank. A holder reading this version cannot yet learn the vote date, the record date or how much of OppFi they would end up ownin….

FGNA dossier 0001193125-26-318282opens on sec.gov in a new tab

425 filed 2026-07-27 — Katapult Holdings, Inc., the FinServ Acquisition Corp. successor, filed under Rule 425 a description of the mechanics of its December 11, 2025 Agreem…

Why it matters: The MIP exchanges are the part of a three-way combination that public holders most often overlook: management incentive plan holders at both targets convert into rollover interests in the listed company, so their economics are folded into the share count alongside the merger consideration itself. For former FSRV holders this is dilution ….

FSRV dossier 0000950103-26-011212opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-07-27 — A Form 8-K current report detailing extraordinary general meeting voting outcomes, shareholder redemption submissions, and post-vote trust mechanics.…

Why it matters: Investors tracking redemptions and trust value now face explicit conditional payout mechanics: the 3,758,515 tendered shares hold no automatic cash claim if closing conditions are unmet, creating binary execution risk. The trust payout valuation window shifts from the approval date to two business days pre-closing, introducing variable e….

FVN dossier 0001829126-26-007886opens on sec.gov in a new tab

S-4/A 2026-07-27 — Amendment No. 3 to registration statement on Form S-4 (proxy statement/prospectus) filed by Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VII to register securit…

Why it matters: This is the final pre-effective amendment to the registration statement containing the proxy statement that will be mailed to shareholders. It establishes the mechanics for the redemption deadline (two business days before the meeting), provides the trust value estimate ($10.45 per share), discloses that the outside date has been extende….

HVII dossier 0001493152-26-034669opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-07-27 — This filing is a Form 8-K Current Report and accompanying Extension Letter (Exhibit 99.1) submitted by International Media Acquisition Corp. on July …

Why it matters: The extension directly alters the redemption calendar for shareholders, moving the hard deadline for any forced liquidation or settlement from August 2, 2026, to September 2, 2026. By executing a compliant $2,000 deposit and tracking toward the maximum of twenty-four monthly extensions, the sponsor demonstrates continued operational inte….

IMAQ dossier 0001213900-26-081555opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-07-27 — SEC Form 8-K current report and accompanying press release announcing the separate listing and trading of Class A ordinary shares and warrants. This …

Why it matters: Creating separate equity and warrant listings divides liquidity and pricing discovery, which can shift arbitrage behavior and secondary market supply without altering the trust account composition or the existing business combination timeline. The fixed $11.50 exercise price sets a statutory strike level against which the market will pri….

ISNR dossier 0001213900-26-081831opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-07-27 — Navitas Semiconductor, the company formed in the Live Oak Acquisition Corp. II combination, filed its Q2 2026 10-Q disclosing that all three earnout …

Why it matters: This is a genuine SPAC-structure event rather than routine reporting: the contingent share consideration written into the 2021 business combination agreement has now fully vested, so up to 10.0 million shares that existed only as a liability become real dilution for public holders. It also confirms the price thresholds in that agreement ….

How this brief is made


  • Composed deterministically from stored primary-sourced rows — no LLM, no live fetching of facts, $0 per run.
  • Trust NAV accreted at the 3-mo T-bill par yield 4.00% (treasury.gov, 2026-09-10); accreted values are ESTIMATES and labeled as such.
  • Broker action dates count ~2 real NYSE trading days before the deadline (weekends and market holidays excluded) — still verify with your broker, whose cutoff may be earlier.
  • 98 filings were scanned for this window.
  • Dated events are summarised on this page and never turned into an instruction. An outside date is the contractual long-stop: it pays nothing, and the trust comes back only if no combination closes. Where the record holds no dated redemption event either way, the page says so instead of assuming one.

Every figure on this page is taken from a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and links to it. Estimates are labelled as estimates. Prices are last trades, not quotes. This is information, not investment advice.

This is a dated edition — the record of one day, kept at its own address. Editions are retained for 60 days.
