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.

Why it matters: These disclosures materially alter redemption economics and post-merger capitalization trajectories. The approximate $10.25 per-share trust accretion raises the opportunity cost of redemption versus post-transaction equity retention, while the uncapped redemption framework subject only to the $5,000,001 NTA floor amplifies potential dilu….

From the wire

Company wires and the financial press, in this window. Headlines belong to the outlets that wrote them and open on their sites.

Nothing on the wire in this window. The sweeps ran; no company release or press report about a covered name landed inside it.

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.
  • 3 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.
