Each one in plain English, with the numbers worked through for a shareholder.
6 Jan 2025business combination▼ BadMajor
Amendment No. 1 disclosed the number that changes the deal: at the 18 November extension meeting, holders of 22,794,651 of the 25 million public shares -- about 91% -- took their money out of the trust, removing roughly $246.9 million at $10.83 a share, in exchange for pushing the deadline to complete a combination from 30 November 2024 to 21 August 2025. Because the share count is set by dividing $800 million less debt by the trust price, the redemptions do not change USARE holders' stake; what they remove is the cash. The amendment also added a CFIUS review risk factor and King & Spalding's tax opinion, which the parties are not obliged to obtain before closing.
