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 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 Thursday 16 July. Cash behind each share is those two figures divided.

425 filed 2026-09-08 — NMP Acquisition Corp. filed a Form 8-K announcing the entry into a Business Combination Agreement on September 4, 2026, with GTS Holdings, LLC and re…

Why it matters: This confirms the target and deal terms for investors tracking redemption value against the $10.34 trust/share, while the tight December 2026 termination window creates immediate pressure to complete the merger before the SPAC's original January 2027 deadline expires.

425 filed 2026-09-08 — Hennessy Capital Investment Corp. VII filed Form 425 on September 8, 2026, to publish a press release from ONE Nuclear Energy LLC announcing that Pro…

Why it matters: The filing confirms the business combination with Hennessy VII was approved by shareholders on August 24, 2026, and reiterates the expectation for the combined company to list under ticker 'ONEN' following a close in the second half of 2026.

8-K filed 2026-09-08 — On September 4, 2026, Andretti Acquisition Corp. II and its sponsor entered into additional non-redemption agreements with new investors covering up …

Why it matters: This filing shows the sponsor actively negotiating non-redemption agreements ahead of the September 8, 2026 extension vote to preserve trust capital, though the company states these agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood of approval. For investors tracking POLE, the cumulative 6,548,959 non-redeemed shares represent the m….

DEF 14A filed 2026-09-08 — deadline 2027-03-23→2027-09-23

vs prior DEF 14A 2026-02-24: deadline 2027-03-23→2027-09-23.

Why it matters: Investors must decide by September 21 whether to redeem shares at the estimated $11.22 price or retain them to vote on the extension; failure to approve the extension or complete a deal by the current deadline triggers liquidation.

8-K filed 2026-09-08 — Cayson Acquisition Corp mutually terminated its July 11, 2025 Merger Agreement with Mango Financial Group Limited on September 2, 2026. The terminati…

Why it matters: Investors should note that the SPAC has resumed its search for a business combination target, meaning the previously announced deal is off and the March 23, 2027 redemption deadline remains active without a pending transaction.

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.
  • 26 filings were scanned for this 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.
