Post-merger, TMTG shareholders would own ~52.5% and TAE stockholders ~46.3% of the combined company on an issued-and-outstanding basis. The merger is expected to close in late 2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Financial Impact
TMTG will issue ~293M new shares to TAE stockholders, representing ~46.3% of the combined company's issued and outstanding shares. TAE has incurred cumulative net losses of ~$1.8B and requires substantial additional capital. TMTG has $1.0B in convertible notes with a November 2026 put option.
Risk Factors
- The merger may not close if shareholder approvals are not obtained or if other conditions are not satisfied by the December 18, 2026 outside date.
- TAE is a development-stage company with significant operating losses and a going concern risk; it has not generated material revenue and requires substantial additional capital.
- TMTG's $1.0B convertible notes have a holder put option on November 30, 2026, which could materially reduce liquidity if exercised.
- The fixed exchange ratio exposes TAE stockholders to fluctuations in TMTG's stock price; the stock has declined from $10.47 (Dec 17, 2025) to $5.59 (Oct 30, 2026).
- TAE has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has not been remediated.
- The merger may not qualify as a tax-deferred reorganization, which could result in taxable gain for TAE stockholders.
