SpacBrain’s read

Trust settled

The deal closed — SPAC shares became the target's shares, so there is no trust left to redeem (nobody missed a window; holders who wanted cash elected it at the vote).


In plain terms

What it is
A SPAC from CGC III Sponsor LLC, listed on Nasdaq in May 2025.
What it's doing now
It agreed to buy Factorial Energy Inc.. That purchase completed, and it stopped being a SPAC — the shares became shares in the business it bought.
What you should know
This SPAC has finished. The purchase completed, and the shares became shares in the company it bought — anyone who wanted the cash instead asked for it at the vote, so there is no cash left here to claim and no deadline left to miss.

Cash held per sharenot filed for this window

This vehicle has finished, so there is no window to file a cash-per-share figure for and none will follow. No estimate is shown in its place.

Next date that mattersno dated event on file

Nothing dated is on file. That is an absence in the record, not a statement that nothing is coming.

Yield to redemption

Nothing left to redeem — no yield to compute.

This SPAC has finished — its trust was paid back or used to close the deal, so there is nothing left to redeem and no yield to compute. A yield to redemption is a claim that you can hand these shares back for the trust cash. That account is closed, so this page will not print a number here.

The score

deterministic, from filed fields

CGCT is not in the scored universe, so no score is shown. A withheld score is a fact about the record, not a verdict about the company.

Asymmetric return scoreNeither a price nor a cash-per-share figure is on file for this vehicle, and the score is a ratio between the two. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.

The score is only published for names that carry both a price and a filed cash-per-share figure — 292 of the tracked fleet today. The rest keep an empty dial rather than a modelled one, and fill in by themselves as the fields land.

The company

from SEC filings
Read the full profile

Cartesian Growth Corp III is a blank-check company, also known as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), incorporated in the Cayman Islands and headquartered in New York, New York, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The company is sponsored by CGC III Sponsor LLC and is led by Peter Yu, who serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, with Rafael de Luque as Chief Financial Officer and Director. The company's securities are listed on Nasdaq under the common stock ticker CGCT.

The company priced its initial public offering on May 5, 2025, under SEC Registration Statement No. 333-284565, with units consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. The trust account held $10.00 per unit. A Form S-1MEF was filed on May 1, 2025, registering 4,600,000 additional units pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act. The offering was conducted on a cash basis, consistent with an IPO rather than merger consideration.

The SPAC subsequently completed a business combination with Factorial Energy, Inc., a solid-state battery technology company for electric vehicles, and the registrant's identity was changed to Factorial Energy, Inc. upon closing. The transaction closed on or about June 10, 2026, as evidenced by an 8-K filing (Item 5.06, Change in Shell Company Status), at which point Cartesian Growth Corp III ceased to be a shell company. Factorial Energy, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker FAC, develops solid-state battery technology with joint development agreements with Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis N.V., and Hyundai Motor Company, and has begun North American road testing of solid-state battery technology in a Dodge Charger Daytona development vehicle with Stellantis.


Material findings

from the full read of every filing

Every document this company files gets read whole — body and exhibits. These are the ones the read flagged as material, newest first, each citing its filing.

  • This is the successor's first reporting cycle after the merger and the risk list is framed around realizing that transaction's benefits and the cash runway it provided. The condensed consolidated financial statements are not in the portion read here, so no cash, revenue or runway figure is attributed.

  • The registered amounts are the dilution ceiling for this deal and they are stated as three separate caps: 143,912,243 shares, 16,200,000 warrants, and the 16,200,000 shares those warrants would become if exercised — the warrant overhang is a distinct claim on the equity and should not be folded into the share figure. The Cayman-to-Delaware domestication moves shareholder rights under the DGCL before the merger closes. The business combination agreement has been amended once, on March 26, 2026; the document records that the amendment exists but not what it changed.

  • The three registered caps — 143,912,243 shares, 16,200,000 warrants and the 16,200,000 shares underlying them — bound the equity this deal can issue, and the warrant leg is a separate claim that should be counted separately from the share leg. The domestication moves shareholder rights to Delaware law before the merger. The document records one amendment to the business combination agreement, dated March 26, 2026, without saying what it altered. No vote date and no redemption deadline are set here.

  • This is the baseline version of the CGC/Factorial registration and it already carries the full dilution ceiling: 143,912,243 shares, 16,200,000 warrants, and the 16,200,000 shares those warrants would become on exercise, which is a separate claim on the equity and should be counted separately. The business combination agreement was amended on the very date of this prospectus; the document records that the amendment exists but not what it changed. No vote date and no redemption deadline are established here.

Everything this company has filed with the SEC recently, newest first, each with a plain summary of what changed and why it matters.

Show the other 10 filings
  • What changed: Factorial Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: FAC) reported under Item 2.02 that on August 11, 2026 it issued a press release and a shareholder letter announcing its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, and under Item 7.01 that it released an updated investor presentation, furnished as Exhibit 99.3. None of the figures or content of those documents appears in this filing, and all three are furnished rather than filed. Why it matters: The 8-K records only that results and a presentation were released; the numbers are in the furnished exhibits and carry no Section 18 liability.

  • What changed: The 10-Q filed under Commission file number 001-42629 is that of Factorial Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: FAC, warrants at $11.50) for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with 91,510,501 shares of Series A and 15,512,744 shares of Series B common stock outstanding as of August 7, 2026. The forward-looking-statements section names the company's ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger, its expected cash runway, its ability to maintain the Nasdaq Global Market listing of the Series A common stock, and its limited operating history and efforts to commercialize its products. Why it matters: This is the successor's first reporting cycle after the merger and the risk list is framed around realizing that transaction's benefits and the cash runway it provided. The condensed consolidated financial statements are not in the portion read here, so no cash, revenue or runway figure is attributed.

In plain English

tap a term to open it

Every piece of jargon this page could have used, and what it actually means.

Open the plain-English guide
No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected

A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.

Redemption deadlinethe last day to hand shares back for cash

Set by the filing that calls the meeting. Tender after it and the company is under no obligation to pay you the trust value.

Broker action datethe day your broker needs the instruction — earlier than the official date

Brokers batch redemption instructions to the transfer agent, so the practical cutoff is roughly two business days before the published deadline. This is the date that actually costs people the floor.

Cash in trust / trust per sharethe cash the company is holding for each public share

Filed quarterly in the 10-Q's XBRL. It earns interest between filings, so the figure on a given day is slightly higher than the last filed one — where we show that we label it an estimate.

Trust discountbuying below the cash held for you

Only meaningful while a redemption right exists. On a floorless name the same arithmetic is not a discount, it is the market pricing distress, and this product will not call it a yield.

Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you

Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.

Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes

The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.

ARShow much upside you get per unit of downside

SpacBrain's asymmetric-return score. It is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same number — and it is capped, not zeroed, when the floor is gone.

De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company

The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.

Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal

A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.

Accession numberthe SEC's unique id for one filing

Every figure on this page carries the accession of the filing that states it, so you can open the primary document rather than trust us.

Accreted NAV (estimate)the last filed cash figure, plus the interest it should have earned since

A model, not a filing: last filed value compounded at the 3-month T-bill for the days elapsed. Always shown in italic with the word estimate, and never printed beside a filed number without it.

UNIVERSE-IPO-INDEX2026-08-17

admitted from EDGAR's QUARTERLY FORM INDEX, walked without any SIC filter. The SIC 6770 census could not reach this registrant: EDGAR reassigns a shell's SIC the day it stops being one, and this CIK now files under 3690 (Miscellaneous Electrical Machinery, Equipment & Supplies). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2025-01-29 → 8-A12B 2025-05-01 → 424B4 2025-05-05 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts. SIC 3690 + self-described blank check in 424B4 0001104659-25-044283; 424B 0001104659-25-044283 priced 2025-05-05 under S-1 0001104659-25-006780 (file 333-284565, an offering for cash); common ticker CGCT off 10-Q 0001104659-26-062778 (2026-05-15); lifecycle EXITED. The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-284565, which belongs to S-1 0001104659-25-006780 (2025-01-29) — a registration of shares sold for CASH, which is what makes it an IPO rather than merger consideration. Blank-check status from the registrant's own first-person sentence in that prospectus (EDGAR full-text search, 424B4 2025-05-05). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001104659-26-072433 (2026-06-10) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,3.02,3.03,4.01,5.01,5.02,5.03,5.05,5.06,7.01,8.01,9.01). ipoSizeM and deadline left NULL: gross-proceeds prose conflates the over-allotment with the offering, and a charter deadline belonging to a vehicle that has ended is a date nobody can act on. ipoDate is the 424B pricing date.
