Monitor shareholder approval process and regulatory clearance under HSR Act. The $100 million minimum cash condition may influence redemption behavior. PIPE participation and conversion terms (12% cumulative, convertible at floor price) will affect future dilution. Watch for any modification to the SPAC board recommendation or competing proposals.
