SpacBrain’s read

Floor not confirmed

The last redemption election on file is dated 16 April; nothing has been filed since, and we hold no filing saying that meeting took place, so we cannot show you a date to act by.

Size is a real constraint here: $6.1M of cash in total across 552,768 public shares — about $6.1M at this price.

What we do have: the company's own deadline runs to 12 July 2027. That deadline is not itself a window you can redeem into. The full chain of evidence is under Evidence.

Change on the last daily close-1.6% day

That is $0.14 above the $10.88 of cash held per share as last filed. Everything above the cash is what the market thinks the deal is worth, and redemption does not protect it. Against our ESTIMATE of what the trust holds today — ~$10.96, the filed figure carried forward at the T-bill — the same price is 0.6% above the cash. That estimate is our arithmetic, not a filing.


In plain terms

What it is
A $230M SPAC from SIM Sponsor 1 LLC, listed on Nasdaq in July 2024. Each unit put $10.00 into the shareholders' cash account at listing; it holds $10.88 a share today — interest earned on the account, plus any payments the sponsor made to extend the deadline, spread over the shares that never cashed out.
What it's doing now
It is still looking: no purchase has been announced. It has until 12 July 2027 to agree one; after that it must ask shareholders for more time, or give the money back and close.
What you should know
Nearly all the original shareholders have already taken their money back — 552,768 shares are left of the 23.0M sold at listing, and $6.1M of cash with them. We have no filed date on which you could claim the cash back, so we cannot tell you a day to act by. That is a gap in the public record, not a statement that the right has gone.

A contractual long-stop for closing a deal. It is not a redemption window and gives you no right to cash. What an outside date is →

Yield to redemption

No dated redemption window on file — no yield to compute.

We hold no redemption election for this SPAC. The only dated event on file is the outside date on Jul 12, 2027, which pays a holder nothing — so no yield can be measured to it. An unsourced date would make the yield look filed when it is not.


What is protecting this price

The reasoning behind the verdict above, in the order the filings establish it.

  1. The last redemption election on file — extension vote on 16 April — has passed, and no new one has been filed since. Holders who stayed through it keep the right to redeem at the next election; there simply is no next election on file, so this page cannot tell you a day to act by.
  2. Cash held in trust is $10.88 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 12 July 2027. If no deal closes by then the trust is returned to holders, which is a floor of a different kind — it pays out, but you do not choose when.

The score

deterministic, from filed fields

One number for the shape of the bet: how much upside you are getting per unit of downside. It is arithmetic over filed fields, not a rating and not advice — and it is the same number this SPAC carries on the leaderboard, the screener and the deal list, because all four read one engine.

Asymmetric return scoreThe tick is 57, the median of the 292 names scored.

1.3% premium to the last filed trust — capital at risk

The blend is trust discount (40 points), deal stage (30), sponsor track record (18) and time to catalyst (12). Every input is a real sourced field; where one is missing, confidence drops rather than a number being invented.

The company

from SEC filings
Read the full profile

A $230 million Nasdaq SPAC from July 2024 that has searched for over two years without a definitive deal — proxy activity in April 2026 points to an extension vote, not a merger. Trust has compounded to roughly $10.88 per share from a $10.00 start.


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.

  • The trust has been severely depleted by redemptions, leaving only 552,768 public shares and $6.1M in trust. This raises the per-share floor but limits firepower for a deal. The non-binding LOI with AIT (a telecom/logistics platform) signals a target but is not yet definitive. The sponsor change and new management could alter deal terms or strategy. The company faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and must complete a business combination by July 12, 2027.

  • The massive redemption (over 97% of public shares) dramatically reduces the trust to approximately $5.1 million, leaving little capital for a business combination unless additional financing is secured. The LOI with AIT indicates a potential target, but the deal is non-binding and subject to definitive documents. The new sponsor and management team signal a fresh start, but the tiny post-redemption trust raises serious questions about ability to close any deal without significant PIPE financing. The extension to July 2027 provides time, but the company may need further shareholder approvals and could face Nasdaq delisting if no combination occurs by then. The reduced deferred underwriting fee lowers the cash burden on closing. The going concern warning is critical.

  • Amended Schedule 13G filings alert investors to changes in institutional ownership, voting power, or investment intent that directly impact how capital flows around redemption deadlines, extension proposals, or deal votes. For SIM Acquisition Corp. I, currently in SEARCHING status with a trust/share of $10.88 and a transaction deadline of 2027-07-12, holder amendments help investors gauge potential redemption pressure, sponsor alignment, or post-IPO conviction. Because the excerpt omits the actual ownership percentage and share count, no conclusion can be drawn regarding increased accumulation versus divestiture. The document contains no claims about customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel; all substantive assertions would originate exclusively from the filer upon full examination of the complete filing.

  • The registrant's disclosures indicate a severe reduction in the public float, which will dictate future trading liquidity and volatility characteristics for the remaining 552,768 shares. The registrant’s decision to convert founder shares to Class A status without triggering redemption rights aligns sponsor economic exposure with the shrunken public pool, while the $242.2 million cash outflow directly reduces the trust balance available to finance any prospective target. Continued reliance on WithumSmith+Brown, PC and timely Cayman Islands filings signals ongoing regulatory compliance. All numerical and factual assertions derive solely from the registrant’s filed statement.

  • Beyond the mechanical shifts, the filing discloses that the Company, its directors, executive officers, and related persons are participants in the proxy solicitation, meaning sponsor-aligned insiders are actively managing the campaign to preserve the trust fund and avoid liquidation. The compressed two-business-day window between the new redemption cutoff (May 5) and the rescheduled vote (May 7) leaves minimal time for settlement operations before shareholder approval, potentially pressuring operational readiness if large-scale redemptions materialize. By deferring both the vote and the cash-out deadline by roughly one week, the sponsor gains additional processing time ahead of the July 12, 2027, lapse while signaling continued pursuit of a de-SPAC transaction. All figures and timelines derive directly from the company’s Form 8-K and DEFA14A submission.

  • This filing resets the mechanical calendar for SIMA without modifying the economic parameters of the proposed extension. Investors must act before the new Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 5:00 p.m. ET redemption cutoff to preserve cash rather than fund the additional twelve months leading to the July 12, 2027, termination date. The postponement is strictly procedural to allow adequate time for proxy distribution ahead of the May 7 vote. The document contains zero disclosures regarding specific target companies, revenue projections, market sizing, technology roadmaps, partnership negotiations, litigation matters, or sponsor financing arrangements. Chief Financial Officer David Kutcher signed the report on April 30, 2026.

  • This filing confirms movement from a SEARCHING phase to active negotiation, directly impacting redemption ballot timing and near-term dissolution risk. According to the filed press release, the exclusivity term legally restricts competing proposals during the 45-day window and any subsequent 15-day renewal, mechanically preserving the trust base for diligence. Corporate statements drive all target characterization: CEO and Founder John Chiorando describes AIT’s operating segment Q1 as a 33-year leader in telecommunications that evolved into manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and connected device ecosystems, citing deep relationships with Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers and scaled Third-Party Logistics and Fourth-Party Logistics infrastructure supporting global distribution across the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Chiorando further states the post-combination strategy centers on developing new verticals around drones and secure, encrypted devices for law enforcement, government, and enterprise agencies, supported by new investments in U.S.-based production. SIM Chairman Anthony Hayes asserts the target sits at the intersection of critical industry shifts in hardware, logistics, and secure connectivity solutions. Because the LOI remains non-binding, omits definitive pricing, equity structure, financing commitments, and historical financials, investors cannot yet calculate pro forma trust dilution, extension triggers, or merger vote thresholds, though the signed exclusivity provision materially pauses alternative search scenarios pending definitive agreements.

  • This filing updates the active redemption calendar for SIMA investors, resetting their opt-out deadline to April 29, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time ahead of the rescheduled May 1, 2026 vote. The scheduling shift grants investors roughly eight additional days to evaluate the extension proposal before the liquidation window closes. Beyond these calendar adjustments and the reaffirmation of the extension amendment, the document contains no substantive claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, commercial strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or executive personnel. All stated goals and forward-looking projections are attributed exclusively to company management, and no financial metrics were introduced, computed, or rounded in this submission.

  • The postponement functionally resets the redemption calendar without altering the extension’s economic or legal parameters. Because the Company notes the definitive Proxy Statement was mailed beginning on or about April 1, 2026 (based on a March 25, 2026 record date), the delay extends the window between material distribution and the revised April 29 redemption cutoff, giving investors additional time to decide whether to exit before the May 1 vote. The underlying proposal still anchors the liquidity event to July 12, 2027, meaning trust valuation dynamics, redemption mechanics, and sponsor conduct expectations remain governed by prior filings rather than this administrative schedule adjustment.

  • The rescheduling directly resets the withdrawal timeline for public shareholders, extending the actionable window to submit redemption requests until April 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., ET, before votes are cast on a one-year extension to July 12, 2027. While the mechanical delay grants additional processing days for brokerage intermediaries to route redemption tickets, it does not modify the economic parameters of the extension, the warrant strike price, or the company’s blank-check search mandate. Market participants must adjust internal settlement calendars to the shifted deadline rather than the originally circulated April 16 schedule.

  • This filing recalibrates the redemption calendar and confirms the extension timeline for public shareholders. According to the Company, investors must exercise redemption rights by April 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET ahead of the rescheduled April 23, 2026, meeting held at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP. Beyond routine proxy solicitation participant disclosures and forward-looking statement warnings attributed to management, the filing contains no substantiated claims regarding customer pipelines, revenue projections, addressable market size, proprietary technology, commercial partnerships, pending litigation, or executive personnel movements. The registrant does not update trust account balances or disclose deal-target progression in this document.

  • The Board states shareholders must choose between redeeming at the reported $10.75 price or retaining equity exposure through July 12, 2027. The proxy warns that heavy redemptions during this vote could drain trust liquidity below viable deal thresholds, forcing reliance on difficult-to-source PIPE financing. If the extension is rejected or a target remains unsecured by July 11, 2026, the company will wind down within ten business days, distributing trust funds net of taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution costs, while the $25,000 founder shares and warrants expire worthless. Forward-looking statements caution that extension approval guarantees neither a completed combination nor Nasdaq listing maintenance, as securities face immediate suspension under the 36-Month Requirement if a deal closes after July 11, 2026.

  • With <4 months to deadline, SPAC remains without target. New sponsor may accelerate deal or extend. Fee reduction improves deal economics. Low cash and going concern doubt highlight liquidation risk unless deal closes or extension is approved. Trust value provides redemption baseline.

  • This filing clarifies the SPAC’s pre-combination capital structure without altering the redemption calendar or the stated $10.88 trust-per-share value. By securing explicit trust-account waivers from both the administrative services provider and the sponsor lender, the document signals that daily operating costs and sponsor-funded working capital remain structurally segregated from public shareholder proceeds. The mechanical linkage between extension funding and the promissory note is notable: tapping the trust for a deadline extension triggers an automatic, prioritized prepayment of the sponsor debt, effectively placing the $1,500,000 credit facility ahead of extended search operations in the liquidity waterfall. The 12.0% interest rate, in-kind quarterly compounding, and 5.0% OID raise the documented cost of sponsor lending, while the back-to-back acknowledgment of American Ventures LLC, Series XXXVII SIM Sponsor I as Senior Lender reveals the sponsor’s underlying financing chain. For investors monitoring deal progress and sponsor conduct, the exhibit confirms active use of sponsor credit to finance ongoing operations, establishes clear legal boundaries around trust asset exposure, and defines a precise settlement protocol should the Company elect to fund an extension.

  • The proposed extension adds exactly one year to avoid an imminent forced liquidation, directly controlling the redemption calendar and trust drawdown timeline for public shareholders. The Board attributes the extension request to insufficient time remaining under the existing July 11, 2026 deadline, warning that failure to obtain the extension or consummate a deal triggers automatic winding up and trust distribution. Governance dynamics have shifted materially through the January 28, 2026 sponsor acquisition, which replaced the founding management team and transferred control to new 'Buyers,' signaling altered strategic intent ahead of the vote. Because broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of the Extension or Adjournment proposals, low shareholder turnout could mechanically alter the 2/3 threshold required for approval. The Company acknowledges under Nasdaq rules that its securities will face suspension and subsequent delisting proceedings if a business combination is not achieved within 36 months of the IPO effectiveness date (July 9, 2024), creating a listing compliance cliff near the new July 12, 2027 deadline. To mitigate trust depletion, the Sponsor may provide founder shares or sponsor membership interests to certain shareholders in exchange for agreements not to redeem during the extension vote, which could preserve cash but leave remaining holders with reduced liquidity and diminished trust backing. The filing confirms that redemption rights remain exercisable regardless of how public shareholders vote on the extension, meaning the charter amendment can legally pass even if a majority of participating shares subsequently exercise redemption rights.

  • Per the filing, transferring sponsor control and board composition shifts governance and target-selection authority to the Buyers while retaining founder-shareholder David Kutcher as Chief Financial Officer. The cessation of the $10,000-per-month administrative fee reduces pre-combination cash outflows from funds outside the Trust Account.

  • The shift from a fixed $10,950,000 underwriter payout to 1.5% of trust account proceeds directly alters post-combination cash flow dynamics and aligns underwriter compensation with the actual trust balance rather than historical norms. The complete transfer of sponsor ownership and the replacement of the CEO and three directors fundamentally resets the sponsor conduct framework and deal execution pipeline ahead of the July 12, 2027 redemption deadline. The company reports that the leadership changes were solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sponsor Acquisition and did not result from disagreements regarding operations or policies. The removal of the administrative services agreement eliminates a recurring affiliate expense. While the trust value remains recorded at $10.88 per share and the deadline extends to 2027-07-12, these structural and governance updates materially change how sponsor incentives are tracked, how deal financing costs are calculated, and who controls the business combination strategy during the remaining search period.

  • The trust per-share value is rising steadily ($10.55 vs $10.11 at year-end), which affects the likely redemption price if a deal is put to a vote. Cash is down to $169K with a deadline of July 11, 2026, and management explicitly states substantial doubt about going concern and insufficient liquidity for the next 12 months. The board change and share surrender are relevant for sponsor conduct analysis.

  • This filing modifies the board's standing by leaving one director seat open, which temporarily affects quorum calculations and committee coverage until a replacement is nominated and ratified at a general meeting. The event carries no impact on the July 12, 2027 redemption deadline, does not indicate a trust account drawdown or extension motion, and does not signal a halt in the business combination search. Because the registrant explicitly attributes the exit to personal reasons rather than operational or policy friction, the disclosure aims to preserve investor confidence in sponsor conduct and leadership continuity ahead of potential shareholder votes. The filing also documents the security structures without amendment: Class A ordinary shares maintain a par value of $0.0001, and whole warrants retain a fixed exercise price of $11.50 per share.

  • For investors tracking redemption deadlines and sponsor conduct, this filing confirms the 24-month deadline to complete a business combination remains July 11, 2026. The company's liquidity outside the trust is decreasing ($346,169 as of June 30, 2025, down from $697,085), and management has determined there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, noting it might not have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations within one year. The per-share redemption value has grown to $10.44 due to interest earned on the trust account.

  • Provides baseline trust value, per-share redemption price, and deadline for investors tracking redemption mechanics. No deal progress, but sponsor conduct and governance details are established.

  • This filing provides the first post-IPO financial snapshot. The trust value per share ($10.11) is slightly above the IPO price due to interest earned. The 24-month deadline (July 2026) is confirmed. No deal progress indicates the SPAC is still in the early search stage. The working capital appears sufficient, but the lack of a target may raise questions about future extensions or liquidation risk if no deal is found by July 2026.

  • The disclosure identifies a concentrated institutional block just past the 5% threshold as measured on September 30, 2024. Because the signatory explicitly states the securities were not acquired to affect control or influence the issuer, the position likely reflects passive indexing or arbitrage strategy rather than active redemption campaigning. While the schedule does not alter trust account mechanics, sponsor timelines, or combination deadlines, mapping this 1,695,094-share stake provides investors with concrete data on concentrated institutional positioning and secondary liquidity headwinds or tailwinds ahead of any future business combination vote.

  • A 5.83% public equity block carries meaningful voting weight that could influence outcomes at any future business combination approval or extension vote. Although the filing explicitly certifies passive, ordinary-course management of the 1,341,950 shares, the disclosed position establishes a baseline institutional stake that investors tracking holder composition, potential redemption dynamics, or activist positioning should monitor. Adjustments to this block or shifts away from the certified ordinary-course posture could signal evolving intent regarding liquidity timelines or merger participation.

  • This is the first public look inside a newly public SPAC. The filing states the Company is focusing on healthcare targets but has not selected any. With a trust of $230,000,000 held in U.S. government money markets and a deadline of July 11, 2026, the SPAC has a large pool and a long runway. The sponsor (SIM Sponsor 1 LLC) purchased 4,000,000 founder shares for $25,000 (approximately $0.003 per share) and 4,000,000 private warrants at $1.00 each, creating a significant potential dilution overhang. The Company had a pre-IPO working capital deficit of $64,600 and no cash as of March 31, 2024, but now has $1,500,000 in non-trust cash for operations and deal costs. Despite the analyst's provided trust value of $10.88, the document itself repeatedly states the trust was funded at $10.00 per share, and no interest earnings are reported because the trust was not yet established. The filing also warns that the newly effective SEC 2024 SPAC Rules may increase costs and time to complete a deal.

  • Investors need to track the trust value ($230 million, or $10.00 per share), the 24-month deadline (July 11, 2026), and the absence of a target. The filing also details sponsor and underwriter compensation, including sponsor founder shares purchased for $0.003 per share and 4 million private placement warrants at $1.00 each, and a $10,950,000 deferred underwriting fee payable only upon completion of a business combination. Additionally, the filing discusses the impact of the SEC's new SPAC rules (effective July 1, 2024) on the company's ability to complete a deal.

  • This establishes the exact trust value and confirms the starting redemption price of $10.00 per share for public shareholders. Regarding sponsor conduct, the filing attributes the acquisition of 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares to SIM Sponsor 1 LLC for $25,000, with additional transfers to three independent directors at $150 each. The sponsors agreed in writing to waive redemption rights for their founder shares and to vote them in favor of any initial business combination. Financially, the registrant discloses total transaction costs of $15,427,616, splitting into a $4,000,000 cash fee, $10,950,000 in deferred underwriting commissions due solely upon a business combination, and $477,616 in other costs. Operations remain unstarted, with a signed agreement requiring $10,000 per month in administrative fees to a sponsor affiliate until the business combination or liquidation.

  • The disclosed 8.6% position establishes a concentrated, jointly managed equity block that will influence vote counts if de-SPAC business combinations or extension proposals emerge before the referenced 2027-07-12 timeline. By anchoring their metric to the Issuer’s July 10, 2024 registration statement, the filers confirm the current public share count used for threshold calculations. The explicit non-control disclaimer mitigates near-term governance disruption risk but leaves intact the block’s voting leverage during future special meetings or redemptions. Tracking this coordinated stake allows investors to anticipate capital market behavior and voting alignment without assuming sponsor-driven control shifts.

  • This filing establishes the baseline trust value ($10.00 per unit, though the user notes current trust/share of $10.88) and starts the 24-month deadline clock (July 11, 2026) for the Company to complete a business combination. It also confirms sponsor and insider lock-up terms (Founder Shares locked for 6 months post-business combination; Private Placement Warrants locked for 30 days). The trust is fully funded with $230,000,000, providing a clear redemption reference for investors.

  • The prospectus outlines the economic and governance framework that will dictate future redemption scenarios, trust maintenance, and sponsor incentives. The 24-month window establishes a hard deadline for target identification, while the extension mechanism provides a path to delay liquidation contingent on shareholder redemption. The sponsor’s minimal founder share cost and parallel private warrant purchases create structural dilution and potential misalignment between insider recovery incentives and public shareholder returns.

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

  • What changed: Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026, filed by SIM Acquisition Corp. I, a blank check SPAC. Shareholders approved extension of Combination Period to July 12, 2027; 22,447,232 public shares redeemed at ~$10.79 each, reducing trust assets from $245M to $6.1M; entered into non-binding LOI with American Industrial Technologies (AIT) for acquisition of 100% equity; new sponsor group acquired sponsor interests and appointed new CEO and directors; issued $1.5M promissory note to sponsor, net carrying $731k; converted 3M Class B shares to Class A; trust per-share value $10.88; cash outside trust $260k; working capital deficit and going concern risk noted. Why it matters: The trust has been severely depleted by redemptions, leaving only 552,768 public shares and $6.1M in trust. This raises the per-share floor but limits firepower for a deal. The non-binding LOI with AIT (a telecom/logistics platform) signals a target but is not yet definitive. The sponsor change and new management could alter deal terms or strategy. The company faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and must complete a business combination by July 12, 2027.

  • What changed: A Schedule 13G/A Joint Filing Statement (Exhibit I) attached to a beneficial ownership report, serving as a routine compliance exhibit. The document reports zero changes to redemption deadlines, trust value, extensions, deal progress, or sponsor conduct. It contains only a procedural acknowledgment by four First Trust-affiliated entities confirming they will file subsequent Schedule 13G/A amendments jointly and are individually responsible for the accuracy of the information they submit under SEC Rule 13d-1(k). Why it matters: For investors tracking SPAC mechanics, this exhibit provides no actionable updates. It confirms a standard joint filing arrangement but omits the substantive amendment data—such as share counts, aggregate ownership percentages, acquisition purpose statements, or lock-up disclosures—that would typically drive redemption calendar adjustments or trust valuation assessments. Without the underlying Schedule 13G/A data pages, the document carries no weight for monitoring SPAC timeline milestones, sponsor behavior, or capital structure changes. The text also contains no claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel.

  • What changed: Schedule 13G/A beneficial ownership report. The filing identifies AQR Capital Management, LLC, AQR Capital Management Holdings, LLC, and AQR Arbitrage, LLC as the reporting parties, but the provided excerpt omits all share counts, ownership percentages, acquisition dates, and prior-period comparisons, leaving no quantifiable change to report. Why it matters: As a routine compliance exhibit, this amendment does not disclose data relevant to redemption mechanics, trust value allocations, extension votes, or deal execution timelines. Because the filers did not state their aggregate stake, share quantities, or strategic intent, the filing neither signals accumulation toward a proposed business combination nor indicates redemption pressure. The filing itself contains no claims regarding corporate strategy, operational metrics, customer relationships, litigation, or leadership personnel.(flagged for human review)

  • What changed: A routine compliance exhibit (SEC Schedule 13G/A beneficial ownership amendment) filed on 2026-08-11 under accession number 0001539041-26-000017, identifying Picton Mahoney Asset Management as the reporting holder. According to the filing’s title, this submission amends a prior ownership disclosure, but the provided text does not state revised share quantities, percentage thresholds crossed, or stated purposes for the amendment. Consequently, the document reports no explicit adjustments to SIM Acquisition Corp. I’s reported trust/share value of $10.88, its current SEARCHING status, its 2027-07-12 combination deadline, or any sponsor conduct metrics. Why it matters: As described by the filing’s regulatory classification, an amended 13G typically updates previously reported beneficial ownership stakes, shifts in investment methodology, or changes in control intent. Regarding corporate fundamentals, the document’s own text contains zero claims about customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel. Because the excerpt omits amended percentages or transaction rationale, investors cannot currently evaluate whether this amendment alters institutional voting leverage relative to redemption expectations, affects extension proposal support ahead of the July 2027 deadline, or indicates portfolio positioning unrelated to SIMA’s deal search progress. Full amendment language would be required to quantify any shift in institutional stance.

  • What changed: Schedule 13G/A, a routine SEC compliance exhibit used to report updates to beneficial ownership of public equity securities. The filing identifies KARPUS MANAGEMENT, INC. as the reporting holder for SIM Acquisition Corp. I and confirms an amendment to a previously submitted Schedule 13G. The excerpt provides no share counts, percentage positions, transaction dates, or purchase prices. It contains no discussion of redemption thresholds, trust account balances, extension mechanisms, business combination milestones, or sponsor conduct. Why it matters: As a Schedule 13G/A, the document serves a mandatory disclosure function by notifying the market that KARPUS MANAGEMENT, INC. has updated its public equity reporting statement. Because the truncated text omits the adjusted ownership percentage, effective dates, and source of funds, it does not independently signal shifts in voting influence, redemption pressure, or merger timing for SIMA. Investors tracking capital commitments or target acquisition progress should consult the complete exhibit, subsequent DEFM14A/proxy materials, or press releases for substantive operational, financial, or governance updates.

  • What changed: Routine compliance exhibit: Amended Schedule 13G beneficial ownership report containing a Joint Filing Statement pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k). Nothing bearing on redemption calendars, trust valuations, extension votes, deal progression, or sponsor conduct altered. The filing text exclusively contains administrative language confirming that First Trust Merger Arbitrage Fund, First Trust Capital Management L.P., First Trust Capital Solutions L.P., and FTCS Sub GP LLC will treat all subsequent amendments as a joint filing. Each entity accepts independent liability for the timeliness, completeness, and accuracy of its own disclosed information under the joint arrangement acknowledged by Joy Ausili and Chad Eisenberg. Why it matters: The document records zero operational claims, strategic pivots, partnership announcements, litigation references, or personnel shifts. It functions purely as a securities regulation procedural update that consolidates filing responsibilities across four First Trust affiliates, leaving SIM Acquisition Corp. I’s commercial search parameters and liquidity mechanics entirely unaffected.

  • What changed: Quarterly report (Form 10-Q) for SIM Acquisition Corp. I for the period ended March 31, 2026, filed May 15, 2026. Trust per-share value decreased to $10.75 at March 31, 2026 (from $10.65 at December 31, 2025) due to interest accretion and waiver of deferred underwriting fee. On May 7, 2026, shareholders approved an extension of the combination deadline from July 11, 2026 to July 12, 2027, triggering redemption of 22,447,232 Public Shares at ~$10.79 each for ~$242.2 million, reducing Class A shares outstanding to 3,552,768. Sponsor was acquired by new buyers on January 28, 2026, resulting in a new CEO (Christopher Devall) and board. On April 26, 2026, the company entered a non-binding LOI to acquire American Industrial Technologies, Inc. (AIT). A working capital promissory note of up to $1.5 million was issued to sponsor on March 18, 2026; $702,262 was drawn as of March 31, 2026. The deferred underwriting fee of $10.95 million was replaced with a reduced fee of 1.5% of trust proceeds at closing via a Fee Reduction Agreement dated January 28, 2026. Cash at March 31, 2026 was $468,399, down from $65,427 at year-end 2025. The company reported net income of $2.03 million for Q1 2026. Management expresses substantial doubt about going concern. Why it matters: The massive redemption (over 97% of public shares) dramatically reduces the trust to approximately $5.1 million, leaving little capital for a business combination unless additional financing is secured. The LOI with AIT indicates a potential target, but the deal is non-binding and subject to definitive documents. The new sponsor and management team signal a fresh start, but the tiny post-redemption trust raises serious questions about ability to close any deal without significant PIPE financing. The extension to July 2027 provides time, but the company may need further shareholder approvals and could face Nasdaq delisting if no combination occurs by then. The reduced deferred underwriting fee lowers the cash burden on closing. The going concern warning is critical.

  • What changed: A Joint Filing Agreement (Exhibit 99.1) attached to a Schedule 13D, executed on May 15, 2026, by SIM Sponsor 1, LLC, Conroy Partners LLC, and Eric Newman. The filing contains no updates to redemption mechanics, trust composition, extension requests, or target pursuit. It merely establishes a contractual obligation for the three signatories to co-manage, prepare, and timely submit all future Forms 3, 4, 5, Schedules 13D, 13G, and associated amendments under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, without altering any operational or financial parameters. Why it matters: The document makes zero claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel. Its sole substance is administrative: aligning disclosure obligations among the named sponsor entities and executive. For investors tracking the SPAC lifecycle, this confirms the entity remains unengaged with any merger candidate, leaving the existing search timeline intact and avoiding premature trust deployment or deadline pressure. Routine compliance exhibits like this frequently signal stable, non-acquisitive management behavior, which preserves capital integrity until a definitive agreement surfaces.

  • What changed: Schedule 13G/A amended beneficial ownership report. The filing operates as an amendment to a prior disclosure by Westchester Capital Management, LLC concerning its equity position in SIM Acquisition Corp. I. The provided excerpt discloses no share quantities, acquisition dates, percentage thresholds, or rationale for the amendment. Any positional shifts referenced are attributed solely to Westchester Capital Management, LLC via this regulatory submission. Why it matters: Amended Schedule 13G filings alert investors to changes in institutional ownership, voting power, or investment intent that directly impact how capital flows around redemption deadlines, extension proposals, or deal votes. For SIM Acquisition Corp. I, currently in SEARCHING status with a trust/share of $10.88 and a transaction deadline of 2027-07-12, holder amendments help investors gauge potential redemption pressure, sponsor alignment, or post-IPO conviction. Because the excerpt omits the actual ownership percentage and share count, no conclusion can be drawn regarding increased accumulation versus divestiture. The document contains no claims about customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel; all substantive assertions would originate exclusively from the filer upon full examination of the complete filing.

  • What changed: Form 8-K current report filed by SIM Acquisition Corp. I, reporting an amendment to its articles of association, unregistered sales of equity securities, shareholder vote results concerning an extension, and substantial public share redemptions. The registrant reports that its Combination Period was amended from July 11, 2026, to July 12, 2027. At the May 7, 2026 meeting, the registrant states shareholders voted 20,911,983 for against 5,970,134 against to approve the extension. The registrant notes that 22,447,232 Public Shares were redeemed at approximately $10.79 per share, totaling approximately $242.2 million. Following these redemptions, the registrant confirms 552,768 Public Shares remain. On May 11, 2026, the registrant issued 3,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares to SIM Sponsor 1 LLC upon conversion of Class B shares, leaving 3,552,768 Class A and 4,666,667 Class B shares outstanding. The registrant further discloses that 21,654,287 shares voted for against 5,227,830 against to ratify WithumSmith+Brown, PC for the year ending December 31, 2026. Why it matters: The registrant's disclosures indicate a severe reduction in the public float, which will dictate future trading liquidity and volatility characteristics for the remaining 552,768 shares. The registrant’s decision to convert founder shares to Class A status without triggering redemption rights aligns sponsor economic exposure with the shrunken public pool, while the $242.2 million cash outflow directly reduces the trust balance available to finance any prospective target. Continued reliance on WithumSmith+Brown, PC and timely Cayman Islands filings signals ongoing regulatory compliance. All numerical and factual assertions derive solely from the registrant’s filed statement.

  • What changed: Form 4 — insider ownership report. According to the filing dated 2026-05-13, SIM Sponsor 1 LLC and Eric Newman, each identified as a 10% owner, acquired 3,000,000 shares through a conversion transaction on 2026-05-11, leaving each reporting person owning 3,000,000 shares after the event. The document makes no mention of the 2027-07-12 search deadline, offers no extension motion, provides no revised trust distribution mechanics, and lists no formal redemption calendar. The reported trust value per share remains $10.88, completely unaffected by this submission. Why it matters: For investors monitoring redemption deadlines, trust value, extensions, deal progress, and sponsor conduct, this routine compliance exhibit functions strictly as a statutory log of post-offering position maintenance. The conversion and holding updates are attributed directly to SIM Sponsor 1 LLC and Eric Newman, with zero accompanying claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel changes. Because the filing registers no alteration to the SPAC’s capital structure, target valuation parameters, or shareholder voting timelines, it does not impact the 2027-07-12 expiration clock, modify redemption thresholds, or signal advanced deal sequencing. The document is non-material to immediate trust preservation or business combination progression, though it transparently fulfills insider equity disclosure requirements.

  • What changed: SEC Form 3 insider ownership report. The document states that Director Anthony Hayes holds no non-derivative transactions or holdings as of the 2026-05-07 filing. On mechanics, the report neither advances the $10.88 trust per share, shifts the July 12, 2027 redemption deadline, triggers an extension, modifies deal progress, nor alters sponsor conduct beyond confirming unchanged director equity positions. Why it matters: Establishes baseline compliance with insider reporting rules without affecting shareholder redemption calendars, trust value distributions, extension voting, or business combination execution. The filing contains no claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel; the only assertion—that zero non-derivative activity occurred—is made by the issuer's filing system regarding Mr. Hayes's reported position.

  • What changed: SEC Form 3 — Insider Ownership Report (routine compliance exhibit). The filing identifies Reporting Person Matthew John Saker (director) for SIM Acquisition Corp. I and explicitly states 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported.' Consequently, there are no updates to redemption calendar mechanics, trust account tracking ($10.88 per share), extension voting or deadline management (2027-07-12), target acquisition progress, or sponsor/director conduct indicators. The document contains no substantive claims regarding customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or additional personnel beyond confirming Mr. Saker’s director title. Why it matters: For a SPAC in SEARCHING status, baseline insider ownership data anchors subsequent Section 16 monitoring that investors use to assess director alignment ahead of potential redemption windows near the 2027-07-12 deadline and against the reported $10.88 trust/share metric. The filer’s declaration that no non-derivative transactions or holdings were reported establishes a clean compliance record without altering trust account distributions, extension vote triggers, or business combination parameters. It functions as a mandatory registration checkpoint rather than an operational development.

  • What changed: SEC Form 3 — insider ownership report. The filing discloses no transactions or holdings. Director Kyle Haug submitted the Form 3 explicitly stating 'No non-derivative transactions or holdings reported,' leaving the SPAC’s capital structure, trust account balance of $10.88 per share, and July 12, 2027 redemption deadline unchanged. Why it matters: This is a purely administrative compliance filing with no impact on redemption calculus, deal progress, or sponsor conduct. Investors tracking insider positioning find nothing to adjust their expectations, as the absence of recorded shares or derivatives means no new insider alignment, cash commitment, or dilution signal exists. The filing contains no claims about customers, revenue, market size, strategy, technology, partnerships, litigation, or personnel beyond confirming Haug’s director status.

  • What changed: Form 8-K Current Report announcing the postponement of a special shareholder meeting and updating proxy solicitation and redemption deadlines related to a proposed one-year extension. The Company filed this report stating that its extraordinary general meeting initially scheduled for Friday, May 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time has been moved to Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time at Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105. The meeting agenda remains fixed on voting to approve an amendment extending the business combination deadline from July 11, 2026, to July 12, 2027. As a direct result of the schedule shift, the Company extended the deadline for shareholders to exercise redemption rights in connection with the extension vote to Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The filing confirmed the proxy statement was mailed beginning on or about April 1, 2026, to shareholders of record as of March 25, 2026. Why it matters: This filing resets the mechanical calendar for SIMA without modifying the economic parameters of the proposed extension. Investors must act before the new Tuesday, May 5, 2026, 5:00 p.m. ET redemption cutoff to preserve cash rather than fund the additional twelve months leading to the July 12, 2027, termination date. The postponement is strictly procedural to allow adequate time for proxy distribution ahead of the May 7 vote. The document contains zero disclosures regarding specific target companies, revenue projections, market sizing, technology roadmaps, partnership negotiations, litigation matters, or sponsor financing arrangements. Chief Financial Officer David Kutcher signed the report on April 30, 2026.

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.
