Company Description
Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation warrants (trading under the symbol FORLW) are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and are associated with Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation, a blank check company. According to the company’s public disclosures, Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation was formed as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. The company has stated that it intends to seek a target in the Internet of Things ("IoT") market.
The warrants represented by FORLW are part of the capital structure originally issued in units. Each unit of Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation, listed under the symbol FORLU, consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, as disclosed in the company’s offering announcements and SEC filings. Once the securities comprising the units began separate trading, the Class A common stock and the warrants were expected to trade on Nasdaq under the symbols FORL and FORLW, respectively.
Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation is described in its offering materials as a newly incorporated blank check company organized in Delaware. As a SPAC, it does not have an operating business of its own but instead focuses on identifying and completing a business combination. The company has indicated that it believes there are many potential target companies that could become public companies and that its search will focus on the IoT market. The company’s principal executive offices are located in Los Altos, California, as reflected in its SEC filings.
Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation’s securities, including the units (FORLU), Class A common stock (FORL) and warrants (FORLW), are registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and listed on Nasdaq. The company has identified itself as an emerging growth company in its SEC filings, which affects certain reporting and disclosure requirements under U.S. securities laws.
As a SPAC, Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation’s lifecycle includes raising capital through an initial public offering, holding the proceeds in a trust account, and seeking shareholder approval for any proposed business combination. The company’s public filings describe shareholder votes on matters such as extending the period to complete an initial business combination and amending its certificate of incorporation and trust agreement. These corporate actions can affect the timeline during which the FORLW warrants may become exercisable, as well as the ultimate business that the combined company may pursue if a transaction is completed.
Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation has also reported shareholder redemptions of public shares in connection with extension votes. These redemptions, as disclosed in its SEC reports, reduce the number of public shares outstanding but do not, by themselves, change the basic terms of the FORLW warrants as described in the company’s offering documents and filings.

Corporate governance and shareholder actions
Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation’s SEC filings describe special meetings of stockholders where proposals were considered, including:
- Amendments to the company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to give the board of directors the right to extend the date by which the company must consummate an initial business combination.

These disclosures provide context on how the company manages the timeframe for pursuing a business combination and how shareholder votes influence that process.
Regulatory reporting and listing status
Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation files periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Forms 10-Q and 8-K. In one Form 12b-25 (NT 10-Q), the company explained that it required additional time to complete its financial statements and review for a quarterly report. In an 8-K filing, the company reported receiving a notice from Nasdaq regarding a late Form 10-Q filing, noting that Nasdaq had previously issued notices regarding non-compliance with listing rules as a basis for potential delisting. The same filing states that the company subsequently filed the Form 10-Q.
These filings show that the company’s securities, including FORLW, are subject to Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and SEC reporting requirements. Any changes in listing status would be disclosed through official filings, and investors can review those documents to understand the implications for the warrants.
Role of FORLW for investors
FORLW represents the publicly traded warrants of Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation. The warrants are designed to give holders the right, under the terms described in the company’s offering documents and SEC filings, to purchase shares of Class A common stock at a specified exercise price, subject to the conditions and timing set out in the warrant agreement. The value and potential use of these warrants depend on the company’s ability to complete a business combination and on the subsequent performance of the combined entity’s Class A common stock.
