SEC-primary termsThe headline number ignores the shares that did not pay $10 — the founder promote, PIPE stock and warrants. This is the same deal with all equity claims counted.
Effective equity counts every claim on the post-close company at $10.00 — rollover, public shares, the founder promote and the PIPE. The headline counts only the target.

from S-4The business actually being bought — described from SEC primary filings, with projections labelled as projections.
Mobilewalla (founded by CEO Anindya Datta, Ph.D.; incorporated in Delaware Nov-2008 as Wordster, Inc., renamed Mobilewalla in Mar-2013) is a consumer-data and 'vertical agentic AI' company: a single proprietary Mobilewalla Data Platform (signals from 2bn+ devices in 40+ countries, ~50TB ingested/day, ~200-petabyte data lake, 300+ ML models, ~80-90% U.S. population coverage) feeding legacy Consumer Data Solutions (data enrichment, audience segments) plus newer vertical AI products - Telescope and Market Flow/Switcher Insights for telecom carriers and LendBetter (API-delivered borrower assessment/fraud/collections data for emerging-market digital lenders) - sold to 45+ enterprise customers (~67 employees, offices in the U.S. and India). THE FINANCIAL REALITY VS THE STORY: real but shrinking revenue - FY2025 actual net sales $13.0M (GM ~59%) vs $13.6M FY2024, net loss ~$4.9M, ARR ~$12.3M at Mar-2026 with legacy CDS running off faster than vertical-AI revenue scales (Telescope 'early stage of commercialization'); GOING-CONCERN opinion, cash of only $0.1M at Mar-31-2026 against ~$22.3M of debt and convertible notes substantially all maturing on or before Nov-1-2026 (Avenue Venture term loan ~$10.9M, ~$10.0M converts across 29 holders - some already past maturity - Worldwide Capital ~$1.4M), total liabilities $28.0M vs total assets $2.7M and a $25.3M stockholders' deficit. The $250M headline is a defined pre-money cash-free/debt-free Enterprise Value (~19x current ARR) that SSAC management itself derived from 20x 2025 ending ARR of ~$12.8M and 12.5-15x a PROJECTED 2026 ARR of $16-20M; all existing equity AND convertible debt convert to stock at $10.00; a contemplated $30M PIPE had no commitments as of the S-4 (filed 2026-08-12).

Mobilewalla — every SPAC that has bid for it, and its listed peers
Expensive or cheap?
vs 7 listed peersA price only means something next to what the same kind of business costs on the stock market. This divides what the buyers are paying by what Mobilewalla actually sells, and sets the answer against its closest listed comparables — or says plainly when that cannot be done.
SpacBrain’s read on the price
Priced above its listed peers
The deal values Mobilewalla at $480.9M, or 37× the FY2025A (Q1 2026A: $3.204M vs $3.131M Q1 2025) actual revenue it actually reported. That is 8.8× what the market pays for its closest listed peers (median 4.19×) — an expensive price. It is priced above 86% of them.
Announced enterprise value (per the filing) + dilution.
FY2025A (Q1 2026A: $3.204M vs $3.131M Q1 2025) — a reported actual.
37× FY2025A (Q1 2026A: $3.204M vs $3.131M Q1 2025) actual revenue. Put another way: $1 of its annual sales is being bought for $37.00.
$1 of their sales costs $4.19 on the open market. Median of 7 listed companies we judged a true comparable, which individually run from 0.98× to 68.4×. Their share prices are from 15 August 2026, not today.
What qualifies this number
- Struck on the post-dilution value of $480.9M, not the announced $250M — new shares handed to the sponsor, warrant holders and the PIPE are part of what public buyers are really paying.
- EQS, BANX, GLAD, MSIF, IPO-CONU, OTF, GAIN, TRIN, BCIC, SCM, CCAP, ECPG have no revenue to divide by, so they are shown but left out of the peer median.

Which companies count as comparable is our judgement, written out above so you can disagree with it. The median is what these shares happened to trade at on the date given — not a price anyone is offering for this deal.
In plain English
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.
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.
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.
