Standard SPAC IPO completed — no target identified. Monitor for business combination announcements within the 12-month window. The 12-month deadline runs from October 7, 2026. Key catalyst will be the announcement of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination.
Executive Summary
Pine Tree Acquisition Corp. (PAXG) completed its $100M SPAC IPO on October 6, 2026, pricing 10,000,000 units at $10.00 each. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive 3/4 of a Class A share upon a business combination. The offering is a standard blank-check IPO with $100M placed in trust, a 12-month deadline to find a target, and significant sponsor incentives due to nominal founder share pricing ($0.005/share). The filing confirms the IPO is priced and closed — no operating business or target has been identified.
