Gold bars to be exempt from tariffs, White House clarifies
Constellation Acquisition Corp I (OTCQX:CSTAF), a special purpose acquisition company with a market capitalization of $124.45 million, announced on Thursday that it has extended the deadline to complete a business combination by up to 11 months. The stock is currently trading near its 52-week high of $12.40, according to InvestingPro data, which indicates significant investor interest in the company’s potential merger plans. The company’s shareholders approved amendments to its charter at an extraordinary general meeting held on Monday, extending the deadline from January 29, 2025, to potentially January 29, 2026.
The extension allows Constellation Acquisition Corp I additional time to finalize a merger or acquisition, which was initially set to expire on January 29, 2025. The new potential deadline is now set for January 29, 2026, if all monthly extensions are utilized. To support this extension, the company’s sponsor, Constellation Sponsor LP, has agreed to contribute $5,000 into the company’s trust account for each month the deadline is extended, with the possibility of adding up to $55,000 if all extensions are exercised.
In addition to the extension, shareholders also approved a proposal allowing the issuance of Class A ordinary shares to holders of Class B ordinary shares upon conversion at any time before the completion of a business combination.
Following the approval of the extension and the amendment proposal, shareholders exercised their right to redeem 2,303,382 Class A ordinary shares for approximately $11.91 per share, amounting to an aggregate redemption of approximately $27.43 million. After these redemptions, the balance in the trust account is approximately $770,700, with 7,664,302 Class A ordinary shares remaining, of which 64,302 are held by public shareholders.

In other recent news, Constellation Acquisition Corp I has made significant strides in its business operations. The company has announced an extension for completing its initial business combination, a key milestone for any special purpose acquisition company. This extension, moving the deadline from December 2024 to January 2025, was facilitated by a $55,000 deposit into the company’s trust account for public shareholders.
This move was enabled through a unanimous resolution by the extension committee of the company’s board of directors. The funds were drawn pursuant to an unsecured promissory note between the company and Constellation Sponsor LP. This marks the final one-month extension allowed under the company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
The note, which does not accrue interest, is set to mature upon the closing of the company’s initial business combination. If the company fails to complete a business combination, repayment of the note will be made from any remaining funds outside of the trust account. These recent developments are strategic steps for Constellation Acquisition Corp I as it continues to search for a business combination that aligns with its investment criteria.
