This Monthly Extension is the eighth of up to nine possible monthly extensions allowed under the company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Key Details

Why It Matters For investors, this filing confirms the SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) has obtained additional time to complete a merger or other initial business combination. The small deposit and one-month extension indicate the company is using the contractual mechanism in its charter to prolong the search period, but it does not provide any new details about a target, deal terms, or updated financial results. Shareholders and warrant holders should note the new deadline (May 14, 2026) and monitor future filings for any announcements about a proposed business combination or additional extensions.
