1. No dated redemption election is on file for this name. That is an absence in the record, not proof that the right has gone — but it does mean this page cannot tell you a day to act by.
2. Cash held in trust is $10.00 per share as last filed. That is the figure a redemption pays out at, plus whatever interest the trust earns between the filing and the window.
3. The charter runs to a date no filing we hold states; from the IPO date and the charter term we estimate 28 July 2028. Whenever it falls, if no deal closes by then the trust is returned to holders — a floor of a different kind: it pays out, but you do not choose when, and this one you should read out of the prospectus yourself.

• 8-K4 August 20260001213900-26-085285

  This filing formally capitalizes the SPAC and activates the 24-month operational timeline. The August 4 partial over-allotment adjusts the public float and liability schedules but leaves the July 28, 2028 redemption deadline unchanged. The disclosed $6,000,000 advisory fee and $6,000,000 deferred underwriting discount establish large post-combination payout commitments that will draw from the trust account. Furthermore, the sponsor’s indemnity obligation relies entirely on company securities, meaning the filing explicitly warns the company cannot assure the sponsor possesses sufficient funds to satisfy those claims. With zero operations, zero revenue, and no ongoing target engagement documented, all shareholder capital remains static in the trust account awaiting a future acquisition.

• 8-K29 July 20260001213900-26-082795

  This filing establishes the fundamental mechanics for investors: the trust value ($10.00 per public share), the 24-month deadline for a business combination (July 2028), the redemption rights, lock-up periods, and sponsor conduct commitments. It also outlines the company’s focus on traditional and digital media sectors, including video game companies, mobile gaming, publishers, studios, and media platforms. The filing sets the baseline for all future redemption calculations and deal timelines.

• 424B428 July 20260001213900-26-081980

  Catalyst is a rights-only vehicle, so there is no warrant strike, expiry or warrant redemption trigger to record. Underwriting is $0.3125 per unit ($6,250,000), including $250,000 at closing and $0.30 per unit deferred ($6,000,000, up to $6,900,000) released to Santander US Capital Markets LLC only on completing a combination, and a further advisory fee equal to 3% of gross IPO proceeds is payable to the same bank at that closing. The deferred fee may be paid at management's sole discretion to any one or more FINRA members.

• 327 July 20260001213900-26-081948

  This routine compliance exhibit establishes a verified governance baseline for Catalyst Acquisition’s co-leadership without introducing operational disclosures, customer contracts, revenue metrics, market projections, technology roadmap details, partnership announcements, or litigation updates. The document attributes the zero-position status directly to Van Dyk Nicolas Anton’s self-certification, confirming no executive share purchases or sales occurred at the time of filing. By formally documenting the absence of insider equity movement, the filing provides investors with transparent sponsorship alignment tracking while maintaining the company’s currently recorded SEARCHING posture pending a de-SPAC transaction announcement.

• S-18 July 20260001213900-26-076132

  This filing establishes the structural terms of the SPAC for investors. Key takeaways: the low sponsor cost ($0.004/share vs. $10.00 public) creates a significant incentive to close any deal, potentially a risky one. The 24-month deadline is standard. The 15% redemption cap protects the sponsor from a hold-out blocking a deal but limits a large shareholder's exit. The ability to liquidate the trust to cash to avoid being classified as an investment company could reduce interest income for redeeming shareholders. The filing signals the SPAC is officially on the market and searching for a target in traditional and digital media (video games, studios, mobile gaming).

• SCHEDULE 13D5 August 20260001213900-26-085791

  What changed: A Schedule 13D beneficial ownership report, as titled in the filing header. The extract discloses nothing regarding Catalyst Acquisition’s redemption timeline, trust account mechanics, extension procedures, merger development, or sponsor conduct. No amendments to the redemption calendar, voting thresholds, or trust valuation parameters are cited in the provided text. Why it matters: Rule 13D filings are designed to surface when an investor crosses a five percent beneficial ownership threshold, often preceding or accompanying de-SPAC structuring, sponsor realignment, or activist campaigns. However, the filing text explicitly states that the structured holder table is absent, meaning the identity of the reporting person or group, the number of shares held, acquisition cost, transaction purpose, and future plans remain undisclosed. Without the core ownership data, analysts cannot determine whether a new shareholder position has formed, how it might affect the sponsor’s voting weight during the searching phase, or whether it correlates with any upcoming redemption windows or extension votes. The filing confirms a reporting event occurred, but substantive impact on deal progress or trust distribution cannot be evaluated until the complete exhibit is examined.

• SCHEDULE 13G4 August 20260001104659-26-090545

  What changed: A joint filing agreement (Exhibit I/EX-99.1) attached to a Schedule 13G, executed under Rule 13d-1(k) to permit Millennium Management LLC, Millennium Group Management LLC, and Israel A. Englander to submit a single beneficial ownership report for Catalyst Acquisition Corp. Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. No adjustments to redemption calendars, trust valuation, extension triggers, deal progression, or sponsor conduct are documented. The only change recorded is a procedural consolidation of SEC reporting obligations among the three named holders. Executed on August 3, 2026 by Gil Raviv, Global General Counsel of the Millennium entities, and Israel A. Englander, the instrument confirms shared filing responsibility but reveals neither the quantity of shares held, the percentage of outstanding equity, nor the stated purpose of acquisition contained in the primary 13G schedule. Why it matters: Because the exhibit supplies only administrative coordination mechanics and omits all ownership metrics, it provides no data point for assessing shareholder concentration, voting influence, or potential redemption pressure ahead of the July 28, 2028 search deadline. Investors cannot determine whether the holders plan to convert shares, back a specific pipeline target, or remain passive until a definitive agreement emerges. The filing exclusively streamlines regulatory submission logistics, leaving all economic and governance variables unaddressed pending publication of the companion 13G disclosure.

• 8-K4 August 20260001213900-26-085285

  What changed: A Form 8-K current report containing Item 8.01 (Other Events) and Item 9.01 (Financial Statements and Exhibits) that discloses the consummation of Catalyst Acquisition Corp.’s initial public offering on July 29, 2026, and simultaneously files Exhibit 99.1, an audited balance sheet as of that date. Per Item 8.01 and Note 1, the company completed its IPO on July 29, 2026, selling 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit for $200,000,000 in gross proceeds, with $200,000,000 deposited into a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Simultaneously, Catalyst Sponsor LLC purchased 270,000 private placement units at $10.00 per unit for $2,700,000. According to Note 10 (Subsequent Events), on August 4, 2026, the underwriter partially exercised its 45-day over-allotment option to buy 1,150,000 additional units at $10.00 per unit, generating $11,500,000. Regarding the redemption calendar and deadline, the filing establishes a 24-month completion window from the July 29, 2026 IPO close, aligning with a July 28, 2028 liquidation date. Public shareholders may redeem at a price equal to the trust account aggregate divided by outstanding public shares, less taxes and up to $100,000 of interest for dissolution. Per the sponsor letter agreement, sponsors waive redemption rights for founder and private shares, commit to voting in favor of a combination, and agree to indemnify the trust if third-party claims reduce it below the lesser of $10.00 per public share or the actual trust amount, less taxes. The sponsor receives $15,000 monthly for administrative services. The audited balance sheet shows $1,749,570 in working capital cash, $6,000,000 in advisory fee payables, $6,000,000 in deferred underwriting fees, and $200,000,000 in temporary equity for class A shares subject to redemption. Management states it has not selected a target and holds no substantive discussions. Any target must meet an 80% fair market value threshold relative to the net trust balance, and if the board cannot independently value the target, it will obtain an independent investment banking opinion. Transaction costs reached $6,778,910. The sponsor repaid a $153,534 promissory note at closing. On July 6, 2026, the sponsor assigned 30,000 founder share interests to directors, valued at $23,700 ($0.79 per share), though no expense was recognized because a combination is not deemed probable. Why it matters: This filing formally capitalizes the SPAC and activates the 24-month operational timeline. The August 4 partial over-allotment adjusts the public float and liability schedules but leaves the July 28, 2028 redemption deadline unchanged. The disclosed $6,000,000 advisory fee and $6,000,000 deferred underwriting discount establish large post-combination payout commitments that will draw from the trust account. Furthermore, the sponsor’s indemnity obligation relies entirely on company securities, meaning the filing explicitly warns the company cannot assure the sponsor possesses sufficient funds to satisfy those claims. With zero operations, zero revenue, and no ongoing target engagement documented, all shareholder capital remains static in the trust account awaiting a future acquisition.

• SCHEDULE 13G3 August 20260001193125-26-330676

  What changed: A Schedule 13G joint filing agreement executed by Linden Capital L.P., Linden GP LLC, Linden Advisors LP, and Siu Min Wong, submitted as Exhibit A to a beneficial ownership report for Catalyst Acquisition Corp. shares. The filing states that the referenced Schedule 13G statement dated July 29, 2026, is filed on behalf of all four undersigned parties pursuant to SEC Rule 13d-1(k). It confirms Saul Ahn acts as authorized signatory and attorney-in-fact for Siu Min Wong under a Power of Attorney dated June 10, 2019. The document discloses no amendments to trust account balances, redemption windows, extension clauses, merger timelines, or sponsor governance protocols; those parameters remain untouched per this exhibit. Why it matters: For investors tracking redemption calendars and deal progression, the agreement clarifies the unified reporting structure behind the holdings, indicating coordinated ownership across investment vehicles and an individual rather than fragmented filings. While the exhibit contains no commentary on customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel decisions, the document references a prior Haymaker Acquisition Corp II holding, indicating prior SPAC investment experience by these parties. Because the underlying principal 13G statement is not included here, specific share counts, percentage ownership levels, and any acquisition targets cannot be evaluated from this page alone. Investors reviewing the filing should cross-check the main 13G to verify whether any stake crosses governance-relevant thresholds or signals capital allocation activity ahead of the stated deadline.

• 431 July 20260001213900-26-083960

  What changed: A Form 4 (insider ownership report) filed by Catalyst Sponsor LLC disclosing an open-market purchase of 270,000 shares of Catalyst Acquisition Corp. at $10 per share on 2026-07-29, resulting in post-transaction holdings of 270,000 shares. Catalyst Sponsor LLC’s reported ownership increased by 270,000 shares through a direct market acquisition. The filing leaves unchanged the stated $10 trust value, the 2028-07-28 liquidation deadline, and the SEARCHING corporate status. No business combination target, extension proposal, or redemption event is recorded. Why it matters: According to Catalyst Sponsor LLC’s regulatory submission, the secondary purchase may reflect capital deployment or market liquidity support, but it does not alter redemption calendars, trigger trust distribution protocols, or advance merger deliberations. The document contains no claims regarding prospective target customers, revenue projections, market size, strategic initiatives, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel changes. All figures derive exclusively from the filer’s disclosed transaction records.

At-risk capital: $2.7M — 270,000 private placement units, bought at the IPO and worthless if the company liquidates. This is what the sponsor itself loses if no deal closes. per the prospectus (424B4 0001213900-26-081980)
