In the filings


425 filed 2026-08-24 — On August 24, 2026, HVII shareholders approved the business combination with ONE Nuclear Energy LLC and the company's domestication to Delaware at an…

Why it matters: The high volume of preliminary redemptions significantly reduces the cash remaining in the trust account post-closing, potentially impacting the combined company's liquidity and ability to fund operations or meet Nasdaq listing requirements despite the transaction approval.

425 filed 2026-08-24 — Newbury Street II Acquisition Corp filed Form 425 to disclose a post by Fort Robotics CEO Samuel Reeves on August 20, 2026, announcing the company's …

Why it matters: This filing confirms the procedural next step in the merger process, signaling that the SPAC is preparing to solicit shareholder votes and issue securities to FORT stockholders, which directly impacts the timeline for redemption deadlines and the upcoming vote on the deal.

425 filed 2026-08-24 — Form 425 filing containing a press release regarding technical testwork results. The filing discloses that Kemetco Research Inc. successfully produce…

Why it matters: This document provides evidence of a potential value-optimization pathway for magnesium, which was previously treated as waste in the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS). If viable, this could introduce a 'material magnesium by-product credit' and reduce waste storage costs, potentially impacting the future economics of the transaction. However,….

DEF 14A filed 2026-08-24 — deadline 2026-09-19→2027-06-19

vs prior DEF 14A 2025-11-14: deadline 2026-09-19→2027-06-19.

Why it matters: This filing establishes the critical redemption deadline of September 10, 2026, for shareholders seeking to exit at the pro rata trust value before any potential extension takes effect. It confirms the specific cost ($100,000 per extension) and mechanism (Sponsor loans) for extending the SPAC's life, directly impacting the timeline for i….

Both columns are filed figures, compared against the DEF 14A of Friday 14 November. Cash behind each share is those two figures divided.

YHNA dossier 0001683168-26-006677opens on sec.gov in a new tab

DEFA14A filed 2026-08-24 — USA Rare Earth filed a DEFA14A supplementing its July 24, 2026 proxy statement to disclose an amendment to the off-take agreement with SVRE and the c…

Why it matters: Investors should note that the merger condition precedent for government support is satisfied by a debt commitment letter rather than funded debt, meaning the transaction may close even if the $500 million facility is never drawn, while the disclosed accounting material weaknesses introduce potential post-merger compliance risks.

IPXX dossier 0001213900-26-092813opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-08-24 — Integrated Wellness Acquisition Corp filed an 8-K on August 24, 2026, reporting that the Board appointed Binson Lau as Co-Chief Executive Officer eff…

Why it matters: Investors should note that this SPAC is in 'ZOMBIE' status with no active redemption deadline or trust value change reported in this specific text; the appointment of a new executive officer for a deal announced in 2024/2025 suggests continued efforts to close a business combination despite the extended timeline.

WEL dossier 0001104659-26-100326opens on sec.gov in a new tab

DEF 14A filed 2026-08-24 — deadline 2026-09-16→2027-03-16

vs prior DEF 14A 2026-02-23: deadline 2026-09-16→2027-03-16.

Why it matters: Investors must decide by September 15, 2026, whether to redeem shares for ~$13.19 or hold for the extended timeline to complete the Btab merger; failure to extend results in liquidation and redemption at the then-current trust value.

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.
  • 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.
