Monitor the redemption rate ahead of the June 2 deadline — high redemptions could reduce trust proceeds to Einride and increase dilution for remaining holders. The deal is likely to close given insider support, but post-merger dilution from warrants (28.4M shares) and options (33.6M shares) is substantial. Watch for Nasdaq listing approval and any regulatory delays.
