Reading the filings
Arithmetic on what Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. 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 $10.90 per public share, 9.0% 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.
Time on the clock
The stated combination deadline of Aug 15, 2026 has passed without a closing in our filing record. Either an extension was approved that we have not yet indexed, or the vehicle is in wind-down. Check the latest proxy statement.
Extension history
Shareholders have already approved 3 extensions. Each one opened a redemption window, so the public float and the trust are almost certainly smaller than at IPO, and each typically came with a sponsor contribution that lifts trust per share. A vehicle on its second or third extension is one where the sponsor is paying to keep the search alive.
Underwriting
Lucid led the offering. It has been named on 6 SPAC IPOs. 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.
From listing to the date Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. must close a deal, extend again, or return the trust. The marker is today.

Potential is about execution, not about the target. It says nothing about whether the eventual deal is worth owning, because the target is usually unknown when the score is computed.
These are derived measures, not ratings of investment merit. They carry no view on the target, no price target and no recommendation, and a high score is not a reason to buy anything.

Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp.: questions answered
What is Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. (RDAC)?
Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated and registered with the SEC under CIK 0002018145. It completed its initial public offering in Oct 2024, raising $55.9M in gross proceeds and listing on Nasdaq. Class A shares trade under the ticker RDAC, units under RDACU, rights under RDACR on Nasdaq. The vehicle is sponsored by Aurora Beacon through Aurora Beacon LLC. The mandate targets technology. Definitive business-combination agreement signed, closing pending.
How much does Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. hold in trust?
Approximately $18,370,925, or about $10.90 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. complete a merger?
By Aug 15, 2026, after 3 shareholder-approved extensions. 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp., 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 $10.90 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. trade under?
Class A shares trade as RDAC on Nasdaq, the units as RDACU, with rights as RDACR. 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp.?
No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.90, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $5.03, a spread to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.
Who sponsors Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp., and what is their track record?
Aurora Beacon LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the Aurora Beacon franchise. This is the only vehicle we have attributed to that sponsor. Named principals: Lulu Xing.
Which banks underwrote the Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. IPO?
Lucid, EarlyBirdCapital. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.
Is Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. tradeable, and where?
Yes. RDAC returned a live quote of $5.03 on Nasdaq. 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. 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 Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. data come from?
Filings Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. submitted to the SEC under CIK 0002018145: 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.

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.
