Monitor shareholder redemption levels ahead of the extraordinary general meeting — high redemptions could jeopardize the Minimum Cash Condition ($75M) and force Nth Cycle to waive or terminate the deal. Also track Nth Cycle's progress on its next-generation cell design and anchor project milestones, as these are critical to post-combination valuation.
