The massive redemption (~97.6% of public shares) leaves SIMAW with a tiny public float and minimal trust cash (~$6M), making a de-SPAC transaction extremely challenging. The sponsor now controls the vast majority of equity. Monitor for a liquidation vote or a low-quality merger announcement to salvage the remaining trust. Warrants (SIMAW) are likely to trade near zero given the depleted trust.
