In the filings
10-Q filed 2026-08-20 — the auditors raised going-concern doubt
vs prior 10-Q 2026-05-15: going-concern doubt APPEARED.
Why it matters: For redemption-calendar watchers, the $10.13 per-share trust floor confirms current investor equity cushion, while the explicit lack of an extension plan reinforces hard timeline pressure through mid-2027. The sponsor's substantial founder share surrender reduces future public shareholder dilution in any eventual deal and signals sponsor….
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.
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — On August 20, 2026, T3 Defense Inc. received a Nasdaq notification that it failed the $10 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement, reporting…
Why it matters: The equity deficit resulted from warrant liability accounting tied to a $10 million February 2026 private placement, which triggered mark-to-market losses that eroded shareholder equity. Failure to regain compliance will likely lead to delisting, disrupting liquidity and trading for public shareholders under the DFNS ticker.
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — 8-K Current Report on Form 8-K filed by NorthStrive Acquisition Corp I. on August 20, 2026, reporting the pricing and closing of its initial public o…
Why it matters: This filing establishes the foundational financial and timeline mechanics for the SPAC. Investors tracking redemption deadlines note that the initial deadline to complete a business combination is 12 months from closing (August 19, 2027), with potential extensions to February 19, 2028. The trust value per public share is $10.00, and any ….
10-Q filed 2026-08-20 — 10-Q quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2026, filed by Jones Ventures INTL Acquisition1 Corp, a blank-check company still searching for a…
Why it matters: For investors tracking redemption deadlines, trust value, extensions, deal progress, and sponsor conduct: (1) Trust value is $203,955,000, or $10.00 per public share, as of July 31, 2026. (2) The 21-month deadline from the July 15, 2026 IPO closing gives an initial deadline of April 14, 2028. (3) No deal progress – the company confirms i….
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — A Form 8-K filed pursuant to Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) that furnishes Exhibit 99.1, an August 2026 investor presentation, and Exhibit 99.2…
Why it matters: Because the definitive Proxy Statement has already been distributed following the July 31, 2026 record date, the formal voting and redemption window for HVII shareholders is actively underway ahead of the January 21, 2027 deadline, making this update a critical reference point for tracking voting momentum and potential redemptions before….
425 filed 2026-08-20 — A Form 8-K filed pursuant to Securities Act Rule 425 reporting the results of an Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders and preliminary shareh…
Why it matters: The shareholder vote results confirm that the proposed business combination cleared its principal corporate governance hurdles, maintaining forward progress toward the stated 2027-02-15 liquidation deadline. The disclosed preliminary redemption volume of 3,956,323 shares represents a meaningful portion of the 8,343,765 shares outstanding….
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — A Form 8-K current report documenting shareholder voting results at an extraordinary general meeting and disclosing preliminary redemption requests t…
Why it matters: The shareholder approvals clear the mandatory corporate governance threshold to advance the transaction toward consummation, but the magnitude of preliminary redemption requests signals substantial near-term liquidity reduction for the combined entity. Because the filing explicitly defers calculation of final trust withdrawals and post-c….
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — A Form 8-K Current Report and accompanying Exhibit 10.1 Termination and Release Agreement announcing the mutual cancellation of the previously announ…
Why it matters: The termination halts deal progress and cancels the associated capital raise, keeping CEPO in shell status and advancing the redemption calendar toward the January 8, 2027 expiry without a scheduled shareholder vote or extension proposal. The $15,000,000 termination fee injects outside cash that may cover operational or search costs whil….
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — A Current Report on Form 8-K and accompanying audited balance sheet announcing the consummation of an initial public offering and simultaneous privat…
Why it matters: This filing locks the public trust value at $300,150,000 across 30,015,000 shares, mechanically anchoring the per-share redemption calculation referenced in the offering documents, while the 24-month timeline creates a hard expiration window that dictates when mandatory redemptions and associated warrant expirations trigger. The sponsor’….
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — Energy Vault Holdings (post-NXU SPAC) filed an 8-K disclosing a delayed draw term loan credit agreement with approximately $137.4M in total commitmen…
Why it matters: This new secured debt facility layers on top of existing Yorkville (YA II PN, Ltd.) convertible debt arrangements (Original SPA Sept 2025, May 2026 SPA) and is tied to an Equipment Supply Agreement, indicating the post-SPAC company is aggressively levering up to fund operations and equipment purchases through 2027.
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — Post-closing of the AURC/Better Home & Finance merger, the company adopted a shareholder rights plan (poison pill) dated August 20, 2026, with Comput…
Why it matters: This signals the post-merger entity is implementing anti-takeover protections, which affects any investor considering building a significant stake. The rights expire at the earliest of the 2027 annual meeting, redemption, or exchange, and cover three share classes (A, B, C).
8-K filed 2026-08-20 — On August 14, 2026, Senti Holdings issued $4.0 million in Senior Secured Convertible Notes to Celadon Partners SPV 24 under the April 27, 2026 Securi…
Why it matters: This adds $4.0 million in secured convertible debt and advances a proposed Celadon-affiliated merger with a $60.0 million CVR structure, with a preliminary proxy already filed on July 21, 2026. The transaction structure and milestone-based payout represent a significant post-SPAC restructuring event for DYNS shareholders.

The full news feedHow 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.
- 45 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.
