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


Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp to merge with FORT Robotics, Inc. in a $500M deal

Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp agreed to merge with FORT Robotics, Inc., an Information Technology company, at a headline value of $500M.

The agreement was announced on Tuesday 18 August, and we hold no shareholder vote date for it yet.

The companies expect to close in Q4 2026.

A $31.3M PIPE is committed alongside the deal, and the combined company is to trade as FROB.

In the filings


10-Q filed 2026-08-19 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $210.0M→$211.5M (+0.7%)

vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-26: going-concern doubt APPEARED.

trust $210.0M→$211.5M (+0.7%).

Why it matters: Trust value per share ($10.22) exceeds the $10.00 redemption price, providing a small potential return for redeeming shareholders. The signed deal with REEcycle gives investors a specific target and timeline; execution risk remains high given the going concern warning and low working capital. The lack of any extension mechanism or additi….

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 Tuesday 26 May. Cash behind each share is those two figures divided.

10-Q filed 2026-08-19 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $231.1M→$233.1M (+0.9%)

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

trust $231.1M→$233.1M (+0.9%).

Why it matters: This filing confirms a specific, high-value de-SPAC target (Elroy Air) with a structured earnout and significant PIPE. Redemption mechanics are not yet calculable (redemption price is formulaic: trust per-share at vote). Trust value is clearly stated. The disclosure of a going concern warning and the company's cash burn ($375,953 used in….

10-Q filed 2026-08-19 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt · trust $253.0M→$254.8M (+0.7%)

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

trust $253.0M→$254.8M (+0.7%).

Why it matters: Investors need to know trust value ($10.07/share slightly above IPO $10.00) and that the SPAC has a signed deal with Quantum Space, a space infrastructure company, expected to close Q4 2026. The trust is fully funded and no redemptions have occurred yet. However, management expresses substantial doubt about ability to continue as a going….

425 filed 2026-08-19 — A Form 425 compliance submission containing a verbatim transcript of a live Bloomberg television interview aired on August 18, 2026, between Bloomber…

Why it matters: The interview transcript supplies substantive operational and strategic context directly relevant to the redemption decision ahead of the proxy solicitation cycle. Bloomberg host Scarlet Fu cites the target's valuation at '$500 million,' its Mark Cuban backing, and an intended Nasdaq listing under symbol 'FROB.' Reeves attributes the SPA….

8-K filed 2026-08-19 — On August 14, 2026 the board of SHF Holdings, Inc. adopted an amended and restated Retention Plan and retention agreement, replacing the plan it appr…

Why it matters: The document treats insolvency and liquidation as scenarios concrete enough to write into a retention plan, then narrows who is paid in them. Eligible employees can receive a percentage of base salary on a change in control and a salary increase during a period of insolvency, conditioned on a release of claims; directors receive nothing;….

NLIT dossier 0001493152-26-039257opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q filed 2026-08-19 — The registrant reports an accumulated deficit of approximately $239.8 million as of June 30, 2026 against approximately $216.9 million at December 31…

Why it matters: Two constraints run alongside the cash burn. On March 25, 2026 NYSE Regulation notified the company it was not in compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, citing a stockholders' deficit of $(1.3) million at December 31, 2025 and losses in its five most recent fiscal years. And on July 10, 20….

8-K filed 2026-08-19 — On August 17, 2026 the compensation committee of Revelation Biosciences, Inc. granted restricted stock under the amended and restated 2021 Equity Inc…

Why it matters: The market-capitalisation hurdles accelerate vesting rather than condition it: the thresholds can be missed entirely and the shares still vest on the second and fourth anniversaries. The awards also vest in full immediately before a change in control, and on death, termination without cause or resignation for good reason, so they survive….

8-K filed 2026-08-19 — OSR Health, Inc. received a Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq on August 19, 2026 stating that Nasdaq has determined to delist its common stock a…

Why it matters: The filing states that because a second 180-day compliance period had already been granted, a timely hearing request will NOT stay the August 26 trading suspension; it is expected to stay only the Form 25-NSE and the final delisting pending the panel's decision. So the securities stop trading on Nasdaq regardless of the appeal, and the c….

10-Q filed 2026-08-19 — Profusa, Inc., the surviving company of NorthView Acquisition Corporation's July 11, 2025 business combination, reported a working capital deficit of…

Why it matters: The listing record in this filing is the risk. Nasdaq found the company non-compliant with the minimum bid price, market value of listed securities and market value of publicly held shares requirements, moved to delist in March 2026, and the Hearings Panel granted continued listing only on conditions: transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Marke….

425 filed 2026-08-19 — A Form 425 prospectus communication and solicitation filing submitted by Churchill Capital Corp XI pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1…

Why it matters: For investors tracking the redemption calendar and capital adequacy, the advance of the S-4 filing moves the transaction closer to a definitive proxy vote while reinforcing redemption risk as a central mechanical factor. The article states the proposed transaction would value Agility at around $2.5 billion, establishing a pre-money valua….

10-Q filed 2026-08-19 — SpringBig Holdings, Inc. reported an accumulated deficit of approximately $44.5 million at June 30, 2026, cash and equivalents of approximately $0.3 …

Why it matters: The company no longer owns the operating business. It was released from approximately $12.5 million of principal and accrued interest under the Notes and received approximately $172 thousand of cash at closing, so its principal assets are now that cash plus whatever was not transferred. Management states it is evaluating strategic altern….

Why it matters: The filing confirms continued sponsor funding to sustain the search timeline without encumbering public shareholder trust assets. At consummation, the resulting equity pool will include up to 51,408 newly converted units, each containing one Class A ordinary share and one-third of a redeemable warrant exercisable at $11.50 per share.

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.
  • 63 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.
