… and 6 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.

Deals


In the filings


10-Q filed 2026-08-17 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $237.7M→$239.8M (+0.9%)

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

trust $237.7M→$239.8M (+0.9%).

Why it matters: The trust per-share value of $10.43 is above the IPO proceeds trust of $10.00, providing a modest cushion for redemptions. The SPAC has completed over 13 months of its 24-month search window (deadline May 27, 2027) with no announced target or definitive agreement. Cash burn from operations is visible: $201k used in H1. Sponsors have not ….

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.

CRA dossier 0002058359-26-000008opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K/A 2026-08-17 — 8-K/A of Infleqtion, Inc. Item 2.02 (results of operations and financial condition): a corrected version of the earnings release is furnished as Exhi…

Why it matters: An earnings release was wrong enough to be reissued under a new accession. The amendment never says which figures were corrected: the substance is entirely in Exhibit 99.1, which is not part of this document, so the record shows that a correction happened and not what it was.

CCCX dossier 0001628280-26-057510opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-17 — The 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 filed under Commission file number 001-42646 is that of Infleqtion, Inc. (NYSE: INFQ), with 225,357,052 …

Why it matters: This is the successor's second quarterly report after the de-SPAC and it confirms the February 13, 2026 closing date and a 225 million share count against the SPAC's original public float. The company states material weaknesses in internal control exist and remain to be remediated. The condensed consolidated financial statements are not ….

CCCX dossier 0001628280-26-057508opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-17 — trust $143.8M→$144.1M (+0.3%) · deadline 2026-08-14→2027-12-04 · sponsor loan $498K→$550K · mandate/sector language changed

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-14: trust $143.8M→$144.1M (+0.3%).

deadline 2026-08-14→2027-12-04.

sponsor loan $498K→$550K.

mandate/sector language changed.

Why it matters: By confirming full over-allotment, management establishes the maximum potential redemption pool (~$10.03/share), definitively setting the financial ceiling for investors ahead of the June 4, 2027 deadline. Management's resolution of the $15,000,000 contingency eliminates a severe pre-funding liability threat. The stated going concern qua….

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.

AESP dossier 0001493152-26-038809opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-08-17 — FIRY Inc., formerly Skillz Inc., reported under Item 8.01 that on August 14, 2026 it redeemed $80.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstan…

Why it matters: The company retired $80.0 million of a secured obligation at par rather than at a premium, and the filing states the exact remaining balance of $49,671,000 on notes that mature in 2026 — so the residual maturity is both quantified and near.

FEAC dossier 0001801661-26-000095opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-08-17 — Form 8-K current report and routine compliance exhibit notifying regulators and markets of a Nasdaq listing deficiency. On August 14, 2026, Nasdaq is…

Why it matters: A contraction in shareholder count diminishes secondary market liquidity and concentrates ownership, which can complicate public trading dynamics ahead of the specified liquidation window. Although Nasdaq characterizes the correspondence as a deficiency notification rather than an imminent delisting order, failure to submit an acceptable….

HLXC dossier 0001213900-26-090826opens on sec.gov in a new tab

DEF 14A filed 2026-08-17 — deadline 2026-09-16→2028-03-16

vs prior DEF 14A 2026-03-09: deadline 2026-09-16→2028-03-16.

Why it matters: The filing sets the redemption deadline (September 14, 2026) and triggers a redemption opportunity at ~$12.18/share – above the typical $10.00 trust value. It reveals the SPAC has only ~$1.3 million remaining in trust (down from $345 million at IPO after massive redemptions). The extension gives more time to find a deal, but the sponsor’….

10-Q filed 2026-08-17 — deadline 2026-05-29→2026-08-29

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-15: deadline 2026-05-29→2026-08-29.

Why it matters: This is the first financial report after the HiTech deal announcement, showing trust value per share of $14.20, extension mechanics, and deal terms. The trust is small ($660,761) and public float is only 46,529 shares. The company faces a tight deadline and has significant operating losses and a working capital deficit, raising going con….

2026-05-292026-08-29

CSTAF dossier 0001213900-26-090804opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-17 — Q2 2026 10-Q of DocGo Inc. (DCGO), the successor to Motion Acquisition Corp. Revenue was $73,424,719 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 versus …

Why it matters: The filer is the post-combination operating company, not a blank-check shell: there is no trust account, no redemption value and no deadline in this document. The quarter records lower revenue year over year on both a three- and six-month basis and a cash balance about half its year-end level.

MOTN dossier 0001628280-26-057394opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-08-17 — Form 8-K Current Report under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The registrant reported that an aggregate $125,000 Extensio…

Why it matters: Public shareholders now face a revised short-term liquidation trigger of September 15, 2026 rather than August 15, 2026. The $125,000 trust infusion confirms ongoing sponsor funding to maintain listing compliance and delay dissolution, but the filing discloses no target pipeline, commercial operations, customer contracts, revenue project….

8-K filed 2026-08-17 — A Current Report on Form 8-K detailing the execution of an extension promissory note, a one-month extension of the initial business combination deadl…

Why it matters: The extension sustains the operational path toward closing the MicroTouch Technology transaction but explicitly indicates management anticipates needing additional shareholder approvals, thereby prolonging redemption uncertainty past September 13, 2026. The $191,475 financing structurally shields public trust assets through the sponsor’s….

10-Q filed 2026-08-17 — Q2 2026 10-Q filed under the CIK formerly used by Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp., now filed by Evolution Metals Technologies Corp. (Nas…

Why it matters: The registrant is no longer a blank-check company and the report carries no trust or redemption terms. This summary covers the cover page and forward-looking section of the report; the balance sheet and statements of operations are not covered here.

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.
  • 145 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.
