The 93.7% preliminary redemption rate is catastrophic for the combined company's cash position. Monitor for final redemption numbers post-closing and whether the deal actually closes given NYSE listing conditions. If redemptions hold, the post-merger entity (New NorthStar) will have minimal working capital, creating significant near-term financing risk.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Viking Acquisition Corp. I shareholders approved the business combination with NorthStar Earth & Space Inc. at the September 2, 2026 extraordinary general meeting, with all proposals passing by wide margins. However, a massive 22,171,711 of 23,660,000 outstanding Class A shares (93.7%) submitted preliminary redemption requests, which would nearly drain the trust account and leave the combined company with minimal cash. The deal remains subject to closing conditions including NYSE listing approval, and the final redemption count is not yet determined.
