Monitor the filing of the Form F-4 registration statement and the SPAC shareholder vote timeline. Key risk is the level of redemptions by GigCapital8 public shareholders, which directly impacts the cash available at closing and the post-deal float. The absence of a termination fee means either party can walk away without penalty if conditions are not met.
