AltEnergy extends deadline for business combination

AltEnergy Acquisition Corp (OTC Pink: AEAE), a Delaware-based special purpose acquisition company with a market capitalization of $76.04 million, has announced another extension for completing its initial business combination. On Monday, the company’s board approved the sixth extension, moving the deadline from April 2, 2025, to May 2, 2025.

This extension follows a series of postponements that began after stockholders approved an amendment to the company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on April 16, 2024.

Since then, AltEnergy’s board has exercised this option, sequentially pushing the deadline from November 2, 2024, to the newly established date of May 2, 2025. These extensions provide the company with additional time to finalize a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination.

AltEnergy Acquisition Corp was established with the purpose of effectuating a business combination in the energy sector, with a particular focus on businesses that are positioned to benefit from the transition to a low-carbon economy.

The company’s securities, including units (AEAEU), Class A common stock (AEAE), and warrants (AEAEW), are traded on the OTC Pink Open Market. The warrants allow holders to purchase Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50.
