Chain Bridge I, a $70.44 million market cap company classified under "blank checks" [6770] on the SIC list, has terminated a major merger agreement and made a significant change to its accounting team. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company's stock is currently trading near its 52-week low of $10.81, suggesting potential market concerns about these developments. The Cayman Islands-based company announced the mutual termination of its previously disclosed Business Combination Agreement with Phytanix Bio, as well as the dismissal of its independent registered public accounting firm, Frank, Rimerman & Co. LLP.
The termination of the agreement with Phytanix Bio, which was initially set forth on July 23, 2024, took place on April 7, 2025. This cancellation effectively nullified the planned business combination between Chain Bridge I, Phytanix Bio, and other related parties, which would have resulted in Chain Bridge I and Phytanix Bio becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of a holding company.
In addition, on April 4, 2025, the Audit Committee of Chain Bridge I decided to terminate the services of Frank, Rimerman & Co. LLP as the company's auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The decision to change accountants followed an error related to a promissory note issued by Phytanix Bio, which led to the need for a restatement of financial statements for the periods ending September 30, 2024. This error was identified during an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, revealing a material weakness.
To replace Frank, Rimerman, Chain Bridge I has appointed RBSM, LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The company is now working with RBSM to file the necessary amended financial statements and annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
This news comes as Chain Bridge I strives to improve its internal controls and financial reporting processes. The company has committed significant resources to address the identified material weakness and ensure accurate financial reporting going forward. InvestingPro data reveals the company's current ratio stands at 0.55, with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets, highlighting the importance of these financial controls improvements.
