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 TradeUP Global Sponsor LLC, listed on Nasdaq in April 2021.
- What it's doing now
- It agreed to buy SAIHEAT Ltd. 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.

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.
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 company
from SEC filingsRead the full profile
TradeUP Global Corporation is a Cayman Islands-exempted blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Headquartered at 437 Madison Avenue, New York, the company was incorporated as a special purpose acquisition vehicle and had not selected any specific business combination target at the time of its IPO. The company's sponsor, TradeUP Global Sponsor LLC, is controlled by Jianwei Li and TradeUP INC., and the management team brought venture capital, securities, and technology expertise to the search process.
TradeUP Global Corporation priced its initial public offering on April 30, 2021, under SEC registration file number 333-253849, raising $40 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 4,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. The units traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "TUGCU," while the Class A ordinary shares and warrants were designated to trade separately under "TUGC" and "TUGCW." The underwriters held a 45-day over-allotment option for up to 600,000 additional units, which would have increased total proceeds to $46 million if exercised in full. US Tiger Securities, Inc. served as lead book-running manager, with R.F. Lafferty & Co., Inc. acting as qualified independent underwriter due to FINRA Rule 5121 conflict-of-interest requirements. The trust account held $10.00 per unit, and the company was required to complete its initial business combination within 18 months of the offering closing or redeem all public shares for cash.
The SPAC completed a business combination and its lifecycle is closed, with Form 25 filed on April 29, 2022, under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3), evidencing that the securities had come to represent successor securities. The surviving entity, SAI.TECH Global Corporation, subsequently rebranded to SAIHEAT Limited in August 2024, with its Class A ordinary shares trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "SAIH." SAIHEAT operates as a distributed computing power systems provider offering energy digitization solutions, and has since announced a proposed all-stock merger with Canopy Wave Inc., an AI infrastructure and GPU-as-a-Service provider, valued at approximately $60 million in Canopy Wave consideration with a concurrent PIPE of approximately $4.5 million.
Material findings
from the full read of every filingEvery 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.
Both classes of the continuing company's shares are registered, and the Class B line is nearly half the Class A line, so the post-closing capital structure is not single-class and a share count taken from the Class A figure alone understates it. The document's own wording is defective in this passage — it reads that Merger Sub 'will merger with and into SAI' and repeats 'the merger and the merger' — and is quoted as printed rather than tidied.
The approval path is unusually explicit about conflicts. The audit committee, stated to consist solely of independent and disinterested directors, made the determination and recommended the agreement to the board, and the board approved it unanimously other than Jianwei Li, who abstained — a named abstention rather than a bare unanimity claim. The letter also tells shareholders outright that TradeUP's directors and officers have interests in the business combination different from or additional to those of shareholders generally.
Two classes are offered rather than one, and a substantial Class B block accompanies the Class A, so the post-combination voting structure is settled in this document rather than left to a later charter amendment. The agreement has also been amended twice since signing, most recently about a month before this filing, so a reader comparing terms should work from the Second Amendment and not from the original agreement.
Both the amount and the accounting reversed direction from the earlier amendments. Footnote (1) here states that the registered Class A count does not include Class A shares issuable on conversion of the registered Class B shares — the opposite of the treatment printed in Amendment No. 2, accession 0001213900-21-067781 — so the two lines can now be added where previously they overlapped, and the registered totals fell. The $9.80 price is still the Nasdaq high/low average for the Class A shares on October 15, 2021 under Rule 457(c), a date more than three months before this filing.
Unlike most F-4s here the registrant is the SPAC itself, a Cayman Islands exempted company, so no new holdco is interposed and holders keep TradeUP shares under a new name. The two registered lines overlap rather than add: footnote (1) states the Class A count includes Class A shares issuable on conversion of the Class B shares one-for-one. Both lines are priced at $9.80, the Nasdaq high/low average for the Class A shares on October 15, 2021 under Rule 457(c), giving $223,440,078.40 and $114,461,109.00 against a stated total of $337,901,187.40. The fee of $31,323.44 is marked previously paid.
The fee section is character-for-character identical to Amendment No. 2, accession 0001213900-21-067781, once HTML entities are normalised, so nothing about the registered securities moved between versions; whatever this amendment changed lies in the prospectus body. The registrant is the SPAC itself, a Cayman Islands exempted company, and under the business combination agreement dated September 27, 2021 TGC Merger Sub combines with SAITECH Limited — the document prints this as "will merger with and into SAI" — leaving SAI a subsidiary and TradeUP renamed SAI.TECH Global Corporation.
Show 1 more material filings
The Class A line already contains the Class B line: the footnote states that the Class A ordinary shares include the Class A ordinary shares issuable on conversion of the Class B ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, so the two rows overlap and adding them together double-counts part of the issuance. Both classes are estimated as issuable to the shareholders of SAITECH Limited, and both are priced at the same 9.80 for fee purposes, which says nothing about their relative rights.

In plain English
tap a term to open itEvery 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.

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 6199 (Finance Services). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2021-03-04 → 8-A12B 2021-04-28 → 424B3 2021-04-30 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts.

The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-253849, which belongs to S-1 0001104659-21-031676 (2021-03-04) — 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, 424B3 2021-04-30). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per Form 25 0001354457-22-000267 (2022-04-29) — Form 25 filed under 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(a)(3) — the rule for securities that "have come to evidence other securities in substitution therefor", i.e. the shares became the successor's (class: TradeUP Global Corporation Unit). 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.
name "SAIHEAT Ltd" -> "TradeUP Global Corp". The stored name was the entity that SURVIVED the combination: EDGAR renames a registrant in place when the merger sub survives, so submissions.json answers with the survivor's name while the vehicle's own sits in formerNames, and a bulk ingest reads the former. The name written here is COMPANY CONFORMED NAME in the SEC header of this registrant's OWN pricing prospectus — 424B3 acc 0001104659-21-059124, filed 2021-04-30, the same date as this row's ipoDate — and it agrees with EDGAR's separate rename record. Nothing else on the row was touched.
