What changed on 4 September 2026

Also on the diary

5 dated events this weekWhat to do about them
  • AFJK Combination deadline Sun 6 Sept · long-stop
  • POLE Outside date Wed 9 Sept · long-stop
  • ALCYF Deal vote Tue 8 Sept · window closed
  • QETA Combination deadline Thu 10 Sept · long-stop
  • YHNA Redemption deadline Thu 10 Sept · broker cutoff Tue 8 Sept

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. The window to hand shares back for cash has already closed on these — there is nothing left to claim at the date shown.

Deals

Nothing to report. No deal announcements, votes, approvals or terminations are dated inside this window.

In the filings

10-Q filed 2026-09-04 — Cactus Acquisition Corp. 1 Ltd filed a 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, confirming its mandatory liquidation deadline is November 2, 2026, f…

Why it matters: Investors must note the company has substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to a working capital deficiency of $3,262,000 and reliance on third-party loans to fund operations until the November 2026 deadline. The redemption price per share has risen to $12.48, but only 52,239 public shares remain outstandin….

CCTSF dossier 0001493152-26-041603opens on sec.gov in a new tab

425 filed 2026-09-04 — The filing reports that NewHold Investment Corp. III shareholders will hold a meeting on September 17, 2026, to consider the merger with newcleo plc,…

Why it matters: This confirms the specific date for the shareholder vote required to close the business combination, which is critical for investors tracking redemption deadlines and the timeline for delisting SPAC shares before the March 3, 2027 trust termination.

NHIC dossier 0000950103-26-013626opens on sec.gov in a new tab

S-4 filed 2026-09-04 — Churchill Capital Corp XI filed an S-4 registration statement on September 4, 2026, for its business combination with Agility Robotics, Inc. The fili…

Why it matters: This S-4 provides the first comprehensive disclosure of the deal terms, including the exchange ratio mechanics, the minimum cash condition of $200 million, and the sponsor's 13.8 million founder shares and 500,000 private placement units. Investors should note the $10.00 PIPE price relative to the trust value of approximately $10.17 per ….

CCXI dossier 0001213900-26-097764opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. VIII consummated its IPO on August 31, 2026, selling 28,750,000 units at $10.00 per unit for $287,500,000 in gross…

Why it matters: This filing confirms the final capital raised and the establishment of the trust account, which determines the redemption value per share ($10) and sets the baseline for the SPAC's search period and deadline calculations.

IPHX dossier 0001213900-26-097736opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — On September 4, 2026, Alchemy Investments Acquisition Corp 1 reconvened its extraordinary general meeting and approved a further adjournment to Septe…

Why it matters: Investors must note the specific new meeting date of September 8, 2026, as this is the immediate deadline for voting on the business combination or triggering redemptions before the final September 9, 2026 trust termination deadline.

ALCYF dossier 0001104659-26-105532opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — Pantages Capital Acquisition Corp filed an 8-K on September 4, 2026, reporting a deficiency notice from Nasdaq received on September 2, 2026, for fai…

Why it matters: Investors should monitor the October 19, 2026 deadline for the compliance plan submission as a critical governance milestone, although this listing deficiency does not directly alter the June 6, 2027 redemption deadline or the $10.72 trust value per share.

PGAC dossier 0001213900-26-097703opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — Aperture AC filed an 8-K on September 4, 2026, disclosing employment and consulting agreements executed on September 3, 2026, with CEO Calvin Kung (b…

Why it matters: Investors should note that while these compensation arrangements establish sponsor costs, the explicit waiver of claims against the trust account protects the per-share redemption value of $10.06 from being diluted by officer payouts.

APUR dossier 0001213900-26-097700opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — Irenic Acquisition Corp. dismissed CBIZ CPAs P.C. as its independent auditor on September 2, 2026, and engaged WithumSmith+Brown, PC effective Septem…

Why it matters: Investors should note that while the filing states there were no disagreements with the prior accountant, the admission of a material weakness in internal controls regarding the financial statement review process introduces operational risk during the search phase.

IACQ dossier 0001104659-26-105500opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — Three Lions Acquisition Corp. filed an 8-K on September 4, 2026, reporting the consummation of its initial public offering on September 2, 2026, whic…

Why it matters: Investors should note the 21-month deadline to complete an initial business combination from the closing date, after which public shares are redeemable from the trust account; this filing establishes the start of that countdown and confirms the capital raised for potential deal pursuit.

TLAC dossier 0001193125-26-383643opens on sec.gov in a new tab

10-Q/A 2026-09-04 — Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III filed an Amendment No. 1 to its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, restating financials to correct a…

Why it matters: Investors should note that the SPAC has completed its merger and is no longer a shell; the redemption deadline has passed with approximately 91.6% of public shares redeemed, significantly reducing the trust value available to remaining shareholders. The restatement confirms a material weakness in internal controls regarding complex finan….

SVAC dossier 0001104659-26-105499opens on sec.gov in a new tab

8-K filed 2026-09-04 — Katapult Holdings, Inc. filed an 8-K on September 4, 2026, reporting the dismissal of Grant Thornton LLP as its independent auditor effective Septemb…

Why it matters: Investors should note that while the SPAC FinServ Acquisition Corp is closed, the post-merger entity Katapult faces significant liquidity concerns evidenced by the auditors' going concern warnings in recent financial statements.

FSRV dossier 0001104659-26-105493opens on sec.gov in a new tab

DEF 14A filed 2026-09-04 — deadline 2027-03-25→2027-03-28

vs prior DEF 14A 2026-02-23: deadline 2027-03-25→2027-03-28.

Why it matters: Investors must vote by September 22, 2026, to redeem their shares or face continued exposure to extension risks and potential Nasdaq delisting if redemptions reduce stockholders' equity below listing requirements.

The company's own deadline
2027-03-252027-03-28

Both columns are filed figures, compared against the DEF 14A of Monday 23 February. Cash behind each share is those two figures divided.

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.
  • 25 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.
