The execution of non-redemption agreements with BlackRock funds significantly de-risks the Minimum Cash Condition for the Mkango business combination. Monitor the upcoming shareholder vote and the final redemption tally; if redemptions are low, the deal is highly likely to close by the December 31, 2026 Outside Date, which would be a positive catalyst for the warrants.
