Oak Woods Acquisition extends business combination deadline

Oak Woods Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:OAKUU), currently trading at $11.52 and near its 52-week high, has announced an extension for completing its initial business combination. The new deadline is now set for September 28, 2025, after shareholders approved up to six one-month extensions if necessary. The decision came during the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 20, 2025, which amended the company’s governance documents to allow these extensions. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels.

The company’s sponsor deposited $172,500 into the Trust Account on March 28, 2025, marking the first of the potential six one-month extensions granted by the shareholder vote. This deposit extends the available time for Oak Woods Acquisition Corp to finalize its initial business combination until April 28, 2025. With a market capitalization of $70.22 million and a current ratio of 0.84, InvestingPro data indicates the company’s short-term obligations exceed its liquid assets.

The extension provides Oak Woods Acquisition Corp additional time to identify and merge with a target company, a common practice among special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) to ensure a thorough due diligence process and negotiation period.
