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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What changed: Form 8-K filed by Catalyst Acquisition Corp. on July 29, 2026, reporting the consummation of its initial public offering (IPO) on July 27, 2026, and entry into related agreements (underwriting, trust, rights, registration, private placement, letter agreement, administrative services, indemnity). The SPAC completed its IPO of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. A total of $200,000,000 (including $6,000,000 deferred underwriting commissions and proceeds from the sale of 270,000 private placement units to the sponsor for $2,700,000) was deposited into a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee. The trust per public share is $10.00. The completion window for a business combination is 24 months from the closing of the IPO, expiring July 28, 2028, unless earlier liquidated or extended. The sponsor and insiders agreed to vote Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of a business combination, not to redeem any Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote or tender offer, and to certain lock-up provisions (Founder Shares locked up for at least one year after a business combination or earlier under certain conditions; Private Placement Units locked up for 30 days after a business combination). The board of directors was appointed, with committees established. The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association were filed, including provisions for redemption rights, conversion of Class B shares, and business combination requirements. Why it matters: 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.
What changed: Priced IPO of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 ($200,000,000), with a 45-day over-allotment option for up to 3,000,000 more. Each unit is one Class A ordinary share plus one right to receive one-seventh (1/7) of one Class A ordinary share on consummation of the initial business combination; seven rights are needed for one share. The offering includes no warrants. Trust: $200.0 million, or $230.0 million with full over-allotment, at $10.00 per unit, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. The combination period is 24 months from closing. Why it matters: 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.
What changed: Form 8-A for the registration of certain classes of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, filed by Catalyst Acquisition Corp. to register trading instruments on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. This filing registers three security classes—Units, Class A ordinary shares, and contingent rights—without modifying the company’s SEARCHING status, the July 28, 2028 redemption deadline, or any preexisting trust account distribution mechanics. Per the registrant's text, each Unit comprises one Class A ordinary share and one right, with each right entitling the holder to receive seventh (1/7) of one Class A ordinary share. The filing explicitly assigns a par value of $0.0001 per share to the Class A ordinary shares. All descriptive provisions are incorporated by reference from the prospectus contained in the Form S-1 originally filed July 8, 2026 (File No. 333-297309). No adjustments to redemption pricing floors, extension voting schedules, trust interest calculations, or target acquisition milestones are introduced. Why it matters: For investors monitoring SPAC capital structure and listing eligibility ahead of the 2028 business combination window, this submission formalizes the Nasdaq trading and settlement framework for the component securities and the fractional rights conversion ratio. The registrant's filing confirms that Co-Chief Executive Officer Steven P. Beeks executed the registration on July 27, 2026, demonstrating continued administrative oversight of exchange compliance. Because the 8-A defers to the earlier S-1 for all operational, financial, and strategic disclosures, it introduces no new data regarding target screening, customer pipelines, revenue forecasts, total addressable market assumptions, technology IP, partnership alignments, or ongoing litigation. The document functions purely as a listing infrastructure update; investors should treat it as neutral relative to trust preservation, sponsor conduct, or timeline acceleration, and await subsequent proxy statements or amended S-4/S-1 filings for substantive deal mechanics.
What changed: This document is a Form 3, an initial statement of beneficial ownership filed to disclose insider equity positions. According to the SEC submission, Director Richard Webster Cook reported no non-derivative transactions or holdings. The filing contains no updates affecting the SPAC’s redemption deadline, trust value per share, extension status, acquisition timeline, or sponsor conduct. Why it matters: Following the submission's contents, the document contains no claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, corporate strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel beyond the director designation. As a routine compliance exhibit, it serves strictly to satisfy SEC disclosure mandates without advancing deal velocity or altering redemption dynamics. For investors tracking capital deployment and sponsor alignment, the filing confirms the absence of directional equity moves by a board member during the searching phase, though it provides no forward-looking indicators regarding target identification or trust maintenance.
What changed: SEC Form 3, a routine compliance exhibit disclosing insider ownership and transaction history for Catalyst Acquisition Corp. The filing states there were 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported,' confirming Catalyst Sponsor LLC retains its stated position as a '10% owner' without executing any recent purchases, sales, or derivative exercises that would alter sponsor alignment or capital structure ahead of the search phase. Why it matters: For investors tracking redemption timelines, trust mechanics, and sponsor conduct, this submission functions as a static compliance checkpoint rather than a strategic update. Because the document contains no claims about target candidates, pipeline technology, partnership negotiations, litigation exposure, or revenue metrics, it does not inform extension decisions or trust-per-share valuations. The report exclusively attributes the '10% owner' designation to Catalyst Sponsor LLC within the disclosure itself. While devoid of operational catalysts, routine Form 3 filings with zero reported activity are standard during a searching-stage SPAC’s lifecycle and signal no unexpected dilution or sponsor trading behavior that could influence shareholder exit timing or deal-progress assessments.
What changed: SEC Form 3, an initial statement of beneficial ownership reporting insider equity positions for Catalyst Acquisition Corp. The filing reports that Craig A. Elson, Chief Financial Officer of Catalyst Acquisition Corp., disclosed no non-derivative transactions or holdings. Consequently, there are no updates to insider equity allocations, warrant conversions, or sponsor capital contributions affecting the redemption framework. Why it matters: This routine pre-acquisition compliance exhibit provides no forward signal on deal timing, anchor investor behavior, or sponsor skin-in-the-game. As explicitly stated in the filing, zero non-derivative activity was recorded, leaving the trust distribution mechanism, the 2028-07-28 redemption deadline, and the SEARCHING status unchanged. No assertions regarding customers, revenue streams, addressable market size, product strategy, technical capabilities, partnership agreements, or legal exposure are included; the only documented fact is the CFO’s reported absence of initial equity movement.
What changed: SEC Form 3 initial statement of beneficial ownership. The filing reports that Director and Co-CEO Van Dyk Nicolas Anton stated there are 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported.' This null disclosure leaves the public shareholder redemption calendar, trust account valuation and distribution mechanics, extension voting timeline, target acquisition pipeline, and sponsor open-market activity entirely unchanged. Why it matters: 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.
What changed: A Form 3 insider ownership report filed for Catalyst Acquisition Corp., identifying reporting person Beeks Steve (director, Co-CEO) and explicitly stating that 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported.'. Zero changes to insider equity or derivative positions occurred. The filing contains no announcements affecting the redemption schedule, trust valuation mechanics, extension vote triggers, business combination status, or sponsor governance conduct. The stated $10 trust/share metric and the 2028-07-28 deadline remain operationally unadjusted by insider activity. Why it matters: For investors tracking sponsor alignment and capital structure stability during the SEARCHING phase, this null report confirms that Co-CEO Steve Beeks has not modified his stake, eliminating immediate signals of liquidity strain, position consolidation, or risk transfer that typically accompany active Form 3 filings. While routine, the submission maintains the mandatory transparency standard required while management evaluates targets. The document introduces no claims, operational updates, or strategic guidance regarding customers, revenue streams, addressable market size, technology development, commercial partnerships, pending litigation, or personnel transitions; all cited parameters originate solely from this compliance exhibit and the issuer’s prior public filings.
What changed: This document is a routine compliance exhibit: an SEC Form 3 initial statement of beneficial ownership. Submitted by Director Lindsey Melvin D. for Catalyst Acquisition Corp., the filing reports no non-derivative transactions or holdings. It leaves the redemption deadline of 2028-07-28 unchanged, registers no extension requests or business combination milestones, and discloses no director or sponsor capital activity that would alter the stated $10 trust value per share or shift mechanics around cash preservation and shareholder return windows. Why it matters: As a standard administrative disclosure, it confirms board membership without evidencing insider equity positions. For investors tracking SPAC timelines and governance alignment, the absence of reported common stock holdings means current leadership has not formally signaled traditional skin-in-the-game through public trust allocations or private placement commitments ahead of the target search period. The document contains no claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or additional personnel, providing no substantive pivot points for redemption pressure or valuation reassessment.
What changed: SEC Form 3 insider ownership report. The filing identifies Director Heatherly Christopher as the reporting person for Catalyst Acquisition Corp., dated 2026-07-27, and explicitly states that no non-derivative transactions or holdings were reported. Why it matters: This is a routine Section 16 compliance disclosure. It does not update the redemption deadline, trust account value, extension timeline, target business progress, or sponsor conduct. Because the report documents zero non-derivative activity, it offers no new data points for investors tracking capital deployment, merger negotiations, or liquidity events. The text contains no assertions regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel adjustments. As a standardized administrative record, it serves exclusively as a securities registry confirmation rather than a strategic or mechanical update.
What changed: S-1 registration statement filed by Catalyst Acquisition Corp., a blank-check SPAC, to register its initial public offering of 20,000,000 units (plus an over-allotment option) at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-seventh of a Class A share upon a future business combination. The document includes a full preliminary prospectus, financial statements, underwriting agreement, and related exhibits. It is the primary registration document for the SPAC's IPO. No changes, as this is the initial filing. The document confirms: (1) the trust value is $10.00 per public share ($200,000,000 initial deposit); (2) the deadline to complete a business combination is 24 months from the closing of this offering (approximately July 2028); (3) the sponsor (Catalyst Sponsor LLC) purchased 5,750,000 founder shares for $25,000 (approx. $0.004/share) and will purchase 270,000 private placement units for $2,700,000; (4) there is a 15% cap on redemptions by any single shareholder or group if a shareholder vote is held; (5) the sponsor and officers have agreed to vote in favor of any business combination; (6) the underwriter is Santander US Capital Markets LLC; (7) the trust will initially invest in U.S. government securities or money market funds, with a provision to potentially liquidate to cash to mitigate Investment Company Act risk; (8) no target business has been identified; and (9) there is no specified maximum redemption threshold. Why it matters: 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).
What changed: A draft registration statement on Form S-1 for an initial public offering of a blank check company (SPAC) seeking to raise $300 million. This is a new filing — the SPAC's initial S-1 registration statement. It discloses that the SPAC has not selected any target, has not initiated any substantive discussions with any target, and has no operating history. Key terms: 30,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one right (entitling holder to 1/15 of a Class A ordinary share upon a business combination). Trust: $300,000,000 ($10.00 per unit). Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 founder shares for $25,000 (~$0.003/share) and committed to buy 250,000 private placement units for $2,500,000. Deadline: 24 months from closing of this offering. Management intends to focus on traditional and digital media sectors. Why it matters: This establishes the baseline economics and governance for a new SPAC. Investors can see the exact trust value ($10.00/share), the sponsor's minimal cost basis ($0.003/share creating massive dilution potential), the 24-month deadline, and that no target discussions have occurred. The structure includes redemption rights for public shareholders but a 15% cap on redemptions by any single shareholder group if there is a shareholder vote. The filing also details extensive conflict-of-interest provisions and the sponsor's indemnification obligations.
