Deals announced

9 vehicles signed a definitive business-combination agreement. An announcement starts the clock on a proxy, a shareholder vote and a redemption window, and a signed agreement is not a closed one.

• PUBLIC CO MANAGEMENT CORP (PCMC)
• UY Scuti Acquisition Corp. (UYSC), $35.6M
• RF Acquisition Corp III (RFAM), $101.3M

• Apex Treasury Corp (APXT), $353.1M
• Research Alliance Corp III (RACC)
• EigenQ Inc

Approved by shareholders

1 combination went to a vote and passed. At that point the redemption window has run and what remains in trust is what the deal has to work with.

• Velos Acquisition I Corp. (VLOS), $312.3M

Closed

2 de-SPACs completed in July 2026. The shell is gone and the target trades in its place.

• Cantor Equity Partners II, Inc.
• Real Asset Acquisition Corp., $178.6M

Wound up

1 vehicle ran out of time and returned $9.1M to shareholders. Liquidation is the ordinary outcome for a SPAC that never finds a target, not a failure of the structure.

• Alchemy Investments Acquisition Corp 1 (ALCYF), $9.1M
