… and 4 more on the calendar.

A long-stop is the charter’s outside date for completing a combination. It pays nothing: the trust comes back only if no deal closes by then. The window to hand shares back for cash has already closed on these — there is nothing left to claim at the date shown.

In the filings


10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $175.8M→$177.4M (+0.9%)

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-15: going-concern doubt APPEARED.

trust $175.8M→$177.4M (+0.9%).

Why it matters: The trust value per share has grown, providing a modest cushion above the $10.00 redemption floor. However, the declining cash balance and lack of a target highlight increasing time pressure. Investors tracking redemption decisions will note that the trust value is above $10.00 and that no deal progress has been disclosed. The going conc….

The pot grew, and so did each share's claim on it — interest, with nobody leaving.

The auditor’s going-concern sentence appeared in this filing and was not in the last one. A SPAC has to say it may not survive twelve months once its own deadline falls inside the auditor’s horizon — it is about the calendar, not the bank account, and the cash above is still there.

Both columns are filed figures, compared against the 10-Q of Friday 15 May. Cash behind each share is those two figures divided.

LATA dossier 0001213900-26-088517opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $215.7M→$217.4M (+0.8%)

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-14: going-concern doubt APPEARED.

trust $215.7M→$217.4M (+0.8%).

Why it matters: The filing tracks the steady accretion of the public trust account, establishing a firm floor for potential redemptions while confirming the SPAC remains in a pure search phase with zero deal progress. The recurring going concern qualification underscores the tight liquidity runway ahead of the hard-coded October 8, 2027 deadline, highli….

ACGC dossier 0001213900-26-088387opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt

vs prior 10-Q 2026-07-02: going-concern doubt APPEARED.

Why it matters: Investors need to know the trust value ($75,238,468 at June 30, 2026, $10 per share), the pending deal details (including backstop and PIPE), the material weakness, and the going concern risk. The redemption deadline is 2028 but the deal is expected to close in H2 2026.

The auditor’s going-concern sentence appeared in this filing and was not in the last one. A SPAC has to say it may not survive twelve months once its own deadline falls inside the auditor’s horizon — it is about the calendar, not the bank account, and the cash above is still there.

RACC dossier 0001193125-26-346912opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — trust $121.8M→$46.4M (-61.9%) · public shares went from 11.50M to 4.33M (-62.3%) · deadline 2026-06-05→2027-03-05

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-12: trust $121.8M→$46.4M (-61.9%).

public shares 11.50M→4.33M (-62.3%).

deadline 2026-06-05→2027-03-05.

Why it matters: This filing provides critical updates on the SPAC's timeline (extended to March 2027), the trust account balance after a large redemption, and the first concrete sign of a deal target (Vita Inclinata). The sponsor's financing commitments and the company's cash position are key for investors assessing redemption risk and the likelihood of….

7,167,225 shares were handed back between the two filings, leaving 4,332,775 outstanding. The pot shrank; the slice did not.

The auditor’s going-concern sentence appeared in this filing and was not in the last one. A SPAC has to say it may not survive twelve months once its own deadline falls inside the auditor’s horizon — it is about the calendar, not the bank account, and the cash above is still there.

10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $291.4M→$294.1M (+0.9%)

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-12: going-concern doubt APPEARED.

trust $291.4M→$294.1M (+0.9%).

Why it matters: The $10.23 per-share figure provides the exact cash redemption floor for public investors, confirming interest accumulation is preserving and slightly enhancing shareholder value above the typical $10.00 benchmark. The going concern alert materially underscores severe short-term liquidity strain; it signals that the SPAC cannot self-fund….

10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-15: going-concern doubt APPEARED.

Why it matters: This summary is drawn from the cover page and cautionary note of the report; the financial statements are not covered here. The quarter's figures are stated in the company's earnings release filed the same day (accession 0001628280-26-055950).

LIII dossier 0001628280-26-056162opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-12 — Q2 2026 10-Q of Stem, Inc. (NYSE: STEM). Total revenue was $33,654 thousand for the quarter versus $38,374 thousand a year earlier and $62,654 thousa…

Why it matters: The entire swing from prior-year net income to this year's loss is the absence of last year's $220.0 million debt-extinguishment gain; the operating loss actually halved. Liabilities are nearly twice total assets, with $319.2 million of notes outstanding.

Why it matters: The filing confirms the target and deal structure, providing investors with key terms for evaluating the proposed business combination. The trust value per share ($10.07) offers a small cushion for redemptions. The PIPE at $10/share implies a $120 million pre-money valuation for the SPAC. The sponsor's forfeiture of 150,000 shares and ot….

Why it matters: This is the baseline financial statement post-IPO, establishing trust value per share ($10.01), operating expense run rate ($194,210 in G&A for about two weeks of operations), and sponsor-related compensation (CEO and admin services at $15,000/month each). The filing confirms the SPAC's structure and the absence of any imminent deal. It ….

Why it matters: This summary is drawn from the cover page and cautionary note of the report; the financial statements are not covered here. The company's Q2 2026 figures are stated in its earnings release filed the same day (accession 0001829126-26-008712).

Why it matters: Almost the entire revenue decline and gross loss is a non-cash re-estimate of claim recoveries on work already performed, not a fall in activity. The financing agreement and credit amendment with the sureties are described as still being negotiated.

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.
  • 814 filings were scanned for this window.
  • Items tagged "coverage" are database-ingestion events (a row was captured), not market events — the underlying facts may predate the 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.
