Monitor for shareholder meeting to approve the WISeSat business combination and any updates on compliance with Nasdaq's minimum holders rule. Failure to cure by November 18, 2026 could lead to delisting, which would likely trigger liquidation. The SPAC's ability to continue funding monthly extensions is limited without sponsor/target support.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Columbus Acquisition Corp (COLA), a SPAC, received a Nasdaq extension through November 18, 2026 to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule (5450(a)(2)). Concurrently, the company filed an amendment to an 8-K detailing $50,000 in monthly extension fees paid by its sponsor and target to keep the business combination with WISeSat.Space Corp. alive. The combination of delisting risk and deadline pressure (business combination must close by January 22, 2027) creates significant downside for the SPAC.
Key Facts
- Nasdaq granted extension until November 18, 2026 to regain compliance with Minimum Holders Rule (5450(a)(2)).
- Company submitted compliance plan on July 2, 2026.
- SPAC has business combination agreement with WISeSat.Space Corp. dated November 9, 2025.

- Failure to close business combination with WISeSat by January 22, 2027.
