The deal is well-capitalized with a $50M PIPE and ~$130M in trust, providing a strong balance sheet post-close. Key catalysts to watch: SEC review of the S-4 registration statement, shareholder vote, and any regulatory approvals (HSR, CFIUS). The $30M minimum cash condition provides a floor for deal viability.
