Monitor the proxy/registration statement filing and SEC review process for timeline clarity. Key catalysts: shareholder vote, Nasdaq listing approval, and any redemption levels from SPAC shareholders. The earn-out structure for sponsor and founder shares creates a long-term incentive alignment but also potential overhang.
