Reading the filings

Arithmetic on what NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. has disclosed, written the way a desk would read it. These are observations, not a rating. Nothing here scores the vehicle or implies a view on it.

  • Trust versus the $10 unit

    The trust holds $10.06 per public share, 0.6% above the $10.00 the units were sold at. That spread is accrued interest on the trust and, where the charter provides for it, sponsor contributions paid in to buy more time. It is the floor a public shareholder can redeem at, not a valuation of the business.

  • Warrant coverage

    Each unit carried one-third warrant per unit. Warrants are dilution deferred: they cost the holder nothing until exercised, and they overhang the post-combination share count. Thinner coverage is generally a sign of a stronger book at pricing.

  • Sponsor record

    Viking has launched 2 vehicles. Of the 1 that have resolved, 1 closed a combination and 0 liquidated, a 100% completion rate. A sponsor's record is not a forecast, but it does tell you whether the team has taken a deal across the line before.

  • Underwriting

    Clear Street led the offering. It has been named on 43 SPAC IPOs, book-running 34 of them, and 100% of its resolved vehicles closed a deal. The syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target, but the quality of the book at pricing shapes who ends up holding the units.

Where it is in its life

From listing to the date NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. must close a deal, extend again, or return the trust. The marker is today.

NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc.: questions answered

What is NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. (NSTR)?

NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in A8 and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002080023. It completed its initial public offering in Oct 2025, raising $230M in gross proceeds and listing on NYSE. Class A shares trade under the ticker NSTR, units under VACI-UN, warrants under NSTR-WT on NYSE. The vehicle is sponsored by Viking through Viking Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC. The mandate targets financial services. Business combination closed; the company trades under a new ticker.

How much does NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. hold in trust?

Approximately $235,596,242, or about $10.06 per public share, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.

When must NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. complete a merger?

By Nov 1, 2027. If no combination closes by then the sponsor must seek a further extension or wind the vehicle up and return the trust.

What happens if NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. does not find a target in time?

The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.

Can I redeem shares in NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc., and at what price?

Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $10.06 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.

What tickers does NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. trade under?

Class A shares trade as NSTR on NYSE, the units as VACI-UN, and the warrants as NSTR-WT. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.

Is the trust value the same as the share price for NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc.?

No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.06, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $3.31, a spread to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.

How much dilution do NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc.'s founder shares and warrants create?

Each unit also carried one-third warrant per unit, which is dilution deferred until exercise. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.

Who sponsors NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc., and what is their track record?

Viking Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the Viking franchise. That franchise has launched 2 vehicles in total, of which 1 closed a combination and 0 liquidated, a 100% completion rate on resolved vehicles.

Which banks underwrote the NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. IPO?

Clear Street, Cohen & Company. Clear Street and Cohen & Company were credited as book-running managers on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.

Is NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. tradeable, and where?

Yes. NSTR returned a live quote of $3.31 on NYSE. Quotes here are delayed and refreshed on a schedule rather than streamed, so treat the figure as indicative and confirm on your own venue. Units and warrants trade under their own symbols and are quoted separately.

Is NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. a good investment?

That is not a question this site answers. NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.

Where does this NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. data come from?

Filings NorthStar Earth & Space Enterprises, Inc. submitted to the SEC under CIK 0002080023: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.

Compiled by the SPACListing research desk

Last reconciled Oct 25, 2026

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
