Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Summary: On 10/06/2025 Brandon Lutnick, as trustee with decision-making control of certain trusts, closed the purchase of voting shares of CF Group Management, Inc. and thereby may be deemed to beneficially own 500,000 Class A ordinary shares and 5,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of Cantor Equity Partners I, Inc. The Class B shares convert one-for-one into Class A shares at the time of an initial business combination or at the holder's option, so the reported holdings represent up to 5,500,000 potential Class A shares. The aggregate purchase price for the voting shares of CF Group Management, Inc. was $200,000. The report discloses indirect ownership through a Sponsor and includes a disclaimer limiting beneficial ownership to any pecuniary interest the reporting person may have.

Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Insider acquired control of Sponsor stakes that translate to 5.5M founder shares.

The reporting person completed a transaction on 10/06/2025 that results in indirect ownership of 500,000 Class A and 5,000,000 Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. Because Class B shares convert one-for-one into Class A at an initial business combination, the transaction represents up to 5,500,000 potential Class A shares.
