Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Columbus Circle Capital Corp II (CMII) entered a definitive business combination agreement with Elroy Air, which will take the autonomous heavy‑cargo drone developer public via an Inflection Point–led SPAC merger. The deal values Elroy Air at approximately $800 million pre‑money and about $1.0 billion in post‑transaction enterprise value.

The transaction is backed by more than $165 million of committed PIPE capital, including $65 million funding at signing, plus a pre‑funded PIPE of up to $80 million in 12% convertible notes with warrants and a $100 million 12% Series A cumulative convertible preferred round. Elroy Air cites a demand pipeline exceeding 1,400 Chaparral aircraft and over $5 billion in potential revenue from logistics and aviation customers, along with 6+ years of active defense programs. Closing is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder approvals and customary conditions.

Positive

  • Meaningful committed capital: More than $165 million of PIPE commitments, including $65 million at signing, plus an additional $100 million Series A preferred round and up to $80 million in pre‑funded PIPE notes, provides substantial funding for Elroy Air’s growth plans.
  • Scaled market opportunity signaled: Elroy Air reports a demand pipeline exceeding 1,400 Chaparral aircraft and over $5 billion in potential revenue across logistics and aviation customers, alongside 6+ years of active U.S. defense programs.

Negative

  • High-cost capital structure: The financing stack includes 12% senior unsecured convertible notes with a 15% original issue discount and 12% cumulative preferred stock with rich issuer call and investor put features, which could be expensive ahead of common equity.
  • Execution and conversion risk: The filing notes that Elroy Air’s demand pipeline is based on non‑binding letters of intent and memorandums of understanding, which may not convert into binding orders or future revenue.

Insights

CMII’s Elroy Air deal is large, heavily structured, and backed by sizable PIPE capital.

The combination would list Elroy Air at about $800 million pre‑money and roughly $1.0 billion enterprise value. It is supported by more than $165 million of committed PIPE, an up to $80 million pre‑funded PIPE in 12% convertible notes, and a $100 million 12% Series A preferred round.

Elroy highlights a demand pipeline of over 1,400 Chaparral aircraft and more than $5 billion in potential revenue, plus multi‑year defense programs and an exclusive U.S. manufacturing partnership. These figures are based on non‑binding interest and remain subject to regulatory, technical and execution risks laid out in the forward‑looking statements.

If completed in Q4 2026, the structure would layer senior unsecured notes and senior preferred equity with rich dividend and redemption terms over the common stock. Actual outcomes will depend on shareholder redemptions, regulatory approvals, defense and FAA pathways, and how much of the indicated demand converts into binding orders.

Business Combination Agreement regulatory
"entered into a Business Combination Agreement ... by and among IPAC, IPGX Merger Sub, Inc. ... and Elroy Air, Inc."
A business combination agreement is a detailed contract that lays out the terms for two companies to join together—covering price, how ownership will be split, the steps needed to close the deal, and what each side promises to do or avoid before closing. For investors it matters because the agreement determines potential changes in value, control, timing, and risk exposure—think of it like the playbook for a merger that shows who wins, who pays, and what could still derail the plan.
PIPE capital financial
"More than $165 million of committed PIPE capital, anchored by Inflection Point..."
Pipe capital is money a publicly traded company raises by selling shares or convertible securities directly to a small group of private investors rather than through a public offering. It matters to investors because it can provide quick funding and help a company meet its goals, but it often comes at a discounted price and can dilute existing shareholdings, signaling either investor confidence or that the company needed urgent cash.
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"TERM SHEET SERIES A CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS"
A Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock is a special class of company shares that pays dividends that accumulate if not paid and can be converted into common shares at set terms. Think of it as a VIP ticket that guarantees backpay for missed perks and also gives the holder the option to swap into regular tickets later. For investors it matters because it offers higher priority for dividend and liquidation payments while also creating potential dilution of common shareholders if converted.
original issue discount financial
"Investment Size: Up to $80 million at a 15% original issue discount."
Original issue discount (OID) is the difference between a debt security’s face value and the lower price at which it is first sold, treated as additional interest that accrues over the life of the instrument. For investors it matters because OID raises the effective yield and changes taxable income and the holding’s cost basis over time — think of buying a $100 voucher for $90 and recognizing the $10 gain as earned interest as the voucher approaches maturity.
Deemed Liquidation Event regulatory
"will be treated as a liquidation event (a “ Deemed Liquidation Event ”), thereby triggering payment of the liquidation preferences"
Event of Default financial
"“ Event of Default ” shall mean the occurrence of any one of the following events..."
An event of default is a specific breach of a loan or bond agreement—such as missed payments or breaking agreed rules—that gives lenders the legal right to act, for example by demanding immediate repayment, seizing collateral, or accelerating other obligations. For investors, it’s a red flag because it can sharply reduce a company’s ability to operate or raise money, like a car lender repossessing a vehicle after missed payments, and often leads to falling share or bond prices.

Elroy Air will be poised to scale its autonomous heavy-cargo drone for defense and commercial use as a publicly traded company upon closing and accelerate production to meet rising demand from both commercial and defense tech markets
   
Pre-money equity value of approximately $800 million and post-transaction enterprise value of approximately $1.0 billion
   
More than $165 million of committed PIPE capital, anchored by Inflection Point, existing Elroy Air investors and several new institutional investors

Parties to host a virtual webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET: https://app.webinar.net/LKXrVzLOoEz

 

San Francisco--Elroy Air, Inc., a leading U.S.-based technology developer of autonomous heavy-cargo drones for defense, rapid response and commercial logistics, and Columbus Circle Capital Corp II (Nasdaq: CMII), a special purpose acquisition company led by the management team of Inflection Point Asset Management (Inflection Point) and Cohen & Company, Inc. (NYSE American: COHN), which will be renamed Inflection Point Acquisition Corp VII (Nasdaq: IPXG), announced today that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement (BCA) whereby Elroy Air will become a publicly traded company.

 

The proposed transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approval. The transaction values Elroy Air at $800 million pre-money, and has more than $165 million in committed PIPE capital, which is expected to fully fund commercial scale production of the Chaparral with U.S. manufacturing partner Kratos Defense & Security Solutions. $65 million of the more than $165 million PIPE is funding in connection with the execution of the BCA. Post-transaction, Elroy Air is expected to have an enterprise value of approximately $1.0 billion.

 

Elroy Air is redefining autonomous heavy-cargo transport with Chaparral — an advanced vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drone designed to carry 500+ pounds of cargo. The aircraft was engineered with a hybrid-electric powertrain to deliver the reliability of electric propulsion but with extended range of up to 450 miles and with no charging infrastructure required. Designed for maximum operational flexibility, Chaparral features multi-mission pods that enable rapid reconfiguration across diverse payload types and customer needs, unlocking a significant global total addressable market spanning defense, commercial logistics, and rapid response.

 

 

 

 

Key highlights include:

 

A demand pipeline exceeding 1,400 aircraft and over $5 billion in potential revenue opportunity from leading logistics and aviation companies, including Bristow Group, Barq Group, SLI, and FedEx.
   
6+ years of active defense programs with the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force.
   
A manufacturing partnership with Kratos Defense & Security Solutions as the exclusive U.S. manufacturer of the Chaparral, with first production aircraft planned for late 2026.
   
A $200M joint venture initial agreement signed with Barq Group to establish an international manufacturing facility in Abu Dhabi serving the MENA region. Elroy Air and Barq Group plan to begin initial flight operations in the UAE in 2027 using U.S.-built aircraft followed by the start of local production in Abu Dhabi in 2028.
   
The only OEM with a purpose-built, heavy-payload uncrewed cargo drone selected for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP), established under the Unleashing American Drone Dominance Executive Order. USDOT’s announcement specifically calls for the start of operations in 2026.
   
Completed testing by Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) in which the Chaparral passed all 22 test items for inter-island logistics capabilities.
   
 Backed by premier defense and venture investors, including Lockheed Martin Ventures, Shield Capital, Marlinspike Partners, Snowpoint Ventures, DiamondStream Partners, and Catapult Ventures.

 

“As a public company with access to significant capital, Elroy Air will be ideally positioned to meet the rising demand for Chaparral, our heavy-cargo drone,” said Elroy Air Chief Executive Officer Andrew Clare, PhD. “Autonomous flight is the next great logistics revolution — and Elroy Air intends to lead it. The U.S. has made drone dominance a national strategic priority, and that priority is only meaningful if American industry can actually deliver. This transaction ensures we can by rapidly scaling production for U.S. and allied forces and commercial markets alike. I’m excited to partner with Inflection Point, a firm with a track record of successfully scaling high-impact technology companies in order to satisfy significant market demand.”

 

Inflection Point’s prior and pending transactions in the national security and Aerospace & Defense sectors include Intuitive Machines (Nasdaq: LUNR), USA Rare Earth (Nasdaq: USAR), Merlin Labs (Nasdaq: MRLN) and Quantum Space (Nasdaq: IPFXU).

 

“Elroy Air is emerging at the intersection of two massive secular shifts: the modernization of defense technology and the automation of global supply chains,” said Michael Blitzer, Chief Investment Officer of Inflection Point. “Through a combination of proprietary autonomous aviation technology and recurring software licensing revenue streams, Elroy has established a highly defensible flywheel across defense and commercial markets. The company’s multi-billion dollar demand pipeline and strategic partnerships with Bristow and Barq underscore the urgency of the market opportunity and Elroy’s growing strategic importance within the industry.”

Transaction Overview

 

The business combination is expected to deliver gross proceeds of at least $165 million from the committed PIPE, with up to $230 million additional proceeds depending on redemptions. Elroy Air currently intends to use these proceeds to accelerate its technology and platform development, ramp its ability to deliver its systems to customers, enable strategic acquisitions, and ensure top technical talent across areas, including software and hybrid-electric systems, continue joining Elroy Air.

 

The Boards of Directors of both Elroy Air and CMII have unanimously approved the proposed transaction. The deal is expected to close in late 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by CMII’s shareholders and regulatory review. Upon closing, the combined company will use the Elroy Air name and expects to be listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ELRY.”

Significant Indication of Demand and Opportunity 1. Calculated based on averaged selling price expectation of $3.5 million per aircraft. 2. We have entered into agreements for 1,410 units, which remain conditional upon: (i) obtaining regulatory approvals for the intended geography and usage profile; (ii) successful completion of trial or pilot deployments; and (iii) reaching definitive agreement on material commercial terms, including aircraft specifications, warranties, performance guarantees, delivery periods, pricing, and territorial restrictions. The counterparties' obligations to consummate orders will arise only after all material terms are agreed. There is no assurance we will execute definitive agreements in a timely manner or at all. 3. The 1,000+ unit potential demand figure reflects management's current expectations based on discussions with potential defense customers, public statements and reports, and internal estimates. This figure does not represent binding orders, contractual commitments, or pipeline.

Risk Factors Risks Related to Elroy Air's Business Elroy Air is an early-stage company with a history of losses, and it expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future. Elroy Air has a limited operating history which makes evaluating its business and future prospects difficult and may increase the risk of investment. Elroy Air may experience significant delays in the transition to mass production of its aircraft, which could harm Elroy Air's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Elroy Air may experience significant delays in the design, manufacture, certification, and commercial rollout of its aircraft. Elroy Air's business plan requires a significant amount of capital, and its future capital needs may require Elroy Air to issue additional equity or debt securities that may dilute its shareholders or introduce covenants that may restrict its operations. The markets for Elroy Air's products are still in development, and if such markets do not materialize, or grow more slowly than expected, Elroy Air's business could be harmed. Elroy Air's future growth is dependent upon the market's willingness to adopt autonomous aerial cargo systems and the development of supporting infrastructure, and market adoption may be slower than anticipated due to factors including cost, safety perception or the need for operational changes. Elroy Air cannot assure you that it will realize the revenue it expects to generate from the pipeline in the periods it expects to realize such revenue, or at all. If an indicative order is not consummated, or if Elroy Air is otherwise unable to convert the strategic relationships or collaborations into sales revenue, Elroy Air's prospects, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow will be affected. The aircraft market is highly competitive, and Elroy Air may not be successful in competing in this industry. The competitors of Elroy Air may commercialize their technology before Elroy Air, or Elroy Air may not be able to fully capture the first mover advantage that is anticipated. Elroy Air currently relies and will continue to rely on third-party partners to provide parts and components required to manufacture its aircraft, which exposes Elroy Air to a number of risks outside its control. Elroy Air depends on suppliers and service partners for raw materials and certain parts and components, including electronics and batteries, and are exposed to supply chain risks that could materially and adversely affect Elroy Air's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Elroy Air's future success depends on the continuing efforts of its key personnel and its ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. Aviation Regulatory Risks Elroy Air may be unable to obtain relevant regulatory approvals for the commercialization of its aircraft in the United States or in foreign markets. Regulations related to the unmanned autonomous aircraft industry are evolving in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Regulatory changes could adversely affect the ability to obtain regulatory approvals necessary to commercialize Elroy Air's aircraft in a timely manner. Commercial operators of Elroy's Aircraft in the United States will need to obtain various FAA approvals to operate the aircraft. These include operational approvals, remote monitor licenses, and airspace access approvals. Delays or challenges associated with customers obtaining these approvals could have a material adverse effect on Elroy Air's ability to sell and market its aircraft. Risks Related to Operations and Safety Crashes, accidents, or incidents involving Elroy Air's aircraft or prototype aircraft could have a material adverse effect on the business. The battery packs in Elroy Air's aircraft use lithium-ion cells, which pose certain safety risks. Elroy Air's aircraft may not perform as expected, which could harm Elroy Air's business and reputation. Elroy Air's aircraft may require maintenance at frequencies or at costs that exceed the initial estimates. 39

 

 

Risk Factors (Cont'd) Risks Related to Strategic Relationship and Government Contracts Elroy Air may be subject to risks associated with strategic relationships and may not be able to identify or form strategic relationships in the future. If conflicts arise between Elroy Air and its strategic partners, Elroy Air's business could be adversely affected. Elroy Air expect to conduct a portion of its business pursuant to U.S. government contracts, which are subject to unique risks. Elroy Air's expectations and estimates regarding opportunity and potential demand for its aircraft from defense partners could be incorrect and/or it may be unable to realize expected revenue relating to such potential demand. Risks Related to Technology and Intellectual Property Elroy Air may face technological challenges with respect to electric propulsion, hybrid-system performance and system integration, which could delay or impair its product development and commercialization. Elroy Air may be unable to adequately protect its intellectual property, or third parties may claim that Elroy Air infringes their intellectual property rights. Risks Related to the Proposed Business Combination Past performance by Inflection Point, the SPAC's management team, its and their advisors, and their respective affiliates, including investments and transactions in which they have participated and businesses with which they have been associated, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in Elroy Air. The consummation of the Proposed Transaction is expected to be subject to a number of conditions and, if those conditions are not satisfied or waived, any definitive agreement relating to the Proposed Transaction may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Proposed Transaction may not be completed. The ability of the SPAC's shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares may prevent the SPAC from completing the Proposed Transaction or optimizing its capital structure. The benefits of the Proposed Transaction may not be realized to the extent currently anticipated by Elroy Air and the SPAC, or at all. The ability to recognize any such benefits may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain and expand relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees. Elroy Air and the SPAC will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Proposed Transaction, which could be higher than currently anticipated. Some of the SPAC's executive officers and directors may have conflicts of interest that may influence or have influenced them to support or approve the Proposed Transaction without regard to your interests or in determining whether Elroy Air is an appropriate target for the SPAC's initial business combination. Such persons may receive a positive return on their investment in the SPAC's founder shares and in preferred equity and related securities of the combined company, even if the SPAC's public shareholders experience a negative return on their investment. There are risks to unaffiliated investors by taking Elroy Air public through a business combination rather than through an underwritten offering. Inflection Point and the SPAC cannot assure you that their diligence review has identified all material risks associated with the Proposed Transaction. An active trading market for the combined company's securities may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell such securities. The net cash available to the combined company from the SPAC's trust account with respect to each public share that is not redeemed will be materially less than the price per share implied in the Proposed Transaction. After the closing of the Proposed Transaction, sales of a substantial number of shares of the combined company's stock in the public market by existing shareholders could cause the stock price to decline. After the closing of the Proposed Transaction, a significant number of shares of the combined company's stock will be subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants, which may result in dilution to the combined company's shareholders. General Risk Factors There can be no assurance that the combined company will be able to meet the initial listing standards of Nasdaq, or following the closing of the Proposed Transaction, continued listing standards of Nasdaq. Elroy Air's business may be adversely affected by global political and macroeconomic challenges, including tariffs, inflation, volatile interest rates, or an economic downturn or recession, as well as geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruptions. Elroy Air is subject to risks associated with climate change, including physical and transitional risks 40

This Term Sheet summarizes the principal terms of the Series A Preferred Stock financing of the combined company (the “Issuer”) in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Columbus Circle Capital Corp II (to be renamed Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. VII (“IPAC”) and Elroy Air, Inc. (the “Target”). No legally binding obligations will be created until formal definitive agreements are executed and delivered by all parties. This Term Sheet is not a commitment to invest. The Series A Preferred Stock will be issued pursuant to a certain certificate of designation of the Issuer governing the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”).

Pre-money Valuation:   $800 million
     
Investment
Size:
  $100 million
     
Commitment Securities   On the date of Closing (as defined below), the Company shall (x) issue an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock to the investor and (y) cause the issuer’s sponsor to assign an aggregate of 501,649 shares of common stock issued or issuable to the sponsor in respect of the founder shares, 448,351 shares of common stock issued or issuable to the sponsor in respect of private placement units and 149,450 private placement warrants issued or issuable to the sponsor in respect of private placement units, to the investor (collectively, the “Commitment Securities”)

Ranking:   The Series A Preferred will, with respect to rights to receive dividends or to participate in distributions of assets or payments upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, rank senior to all of the common stock and any other class or series of capital stock currently existing or hereafter authorized, classified or reclassified by the Issuer.
     
Dividends:   Cumulative dividends shall accrue on the Accrued Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) of each share of Series A Preferred at a rate per annum of (i) 10.0% if paid in cash (a “Cash Dividend”) or (ii) 12.0% if paid in kind by increasing the Accrued Value (a “PIK Dividend”), at the election of the Issuer. Dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue daily from and after the Closing and compound semi-annually on each June 1 and December 1 (each, a “Semi-Annual Dividend Date”), whether or not earned or declared, and whether or not there are earnings or profits, surplus or other funds or assets legally available for the payment of dividends. No dividends shall be declared, paid or set aside on any junior securities (other than dividends on common stock payable in common stock) unless the holders of Series A Preferred first or simultaneously receive a dividend at least equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred. For any other dividends or distributions on common stock (other than upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up), the Series A Preferred shall participate with the common stock on an as-converted basis.
     
Liquidation Preference:   In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer, or a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), holders of Series A Preferred shall be entitled to receive, prior to any payment to holders of junior securities, an amount per share equal to 100% of the Accrued Value on each share of Series A Preferred. Thereafter, the Series A Preferred shall participate with the common stock pro rata on an as-converted basis in the distribution of remaining assets.

 

 

 

 

Voting:   The Series A Preferred shall vote together with the common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote, except (i) as required by law and (ii) as provided in “Protective Provisions” below. Each holder of Series A Preferred, together with its Attribution Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred held by such holder, together with its Attribution Parties, are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation and subject to adjustment pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Certificate of Designation.
     
Protective Provisions:   From and after the Closing, for so long as 20% or more of the shares of Series A Preferred issued as of the Closing remain outstanding, the Issuer shall not, without the affirmative vote or action by written consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred, which majority must include Inflection Point Asset Management LLC or its affiliates (“Inflection Point”) if Inflection Point then holds any shares of Series A Preferred (the “Requisite Holders”), take any of the following actions:

 

    liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the affairs of the Issuer;
       
    amend, alter or repeal the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Certificate of Designation or any similar document of the Issuer in a manner that materially and adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred;
       
    create any equity security, authorize the creation of any equity security, classify any equity security, reclassify any equity security, or issue any other security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, unless such security ranks junior to the Series A Preferred with respect to its rights, preferences and privileges or increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred;
       
    purchase or redeem or pay any cash dividend on any capital stock of the Issuer ranking junior to the Series A Preferred prior to payment of such cash dividend on the preferred stock or purchase or redeem any capital stock of the Issuer ranking junior to the Series A Preferred, other than capital stock repurchased at cost from former employees and consultants in connection with the cessation of their service or pursuant to the terms of any equity incentive plan of the Issuer;
       
    enter into any transaction with an affiliate, other than the issuance of equity or awards to eligible participants under the Issuer’s incentive plan, equity plan or equity-based compensation plan, or with respect to employment, consulting or award agreements with respect to executive officers of the Issuer, in each case regardless of whether such person (or such person’s affiliates) would be considered an affiliate of the Issuer; or
       
    incur or guarantee any indebtedness other than equipment leases or trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that the Series A Preferred shall not be considered indebtedness for purposes of this calculation.

 

Optional Conversion:  

Each share of Series A Preferred shall be convertible at any time at the option of the holder into that number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the then-Accrued Value by the Conversion Price. The initial conversion price is $12.00 per share (“Conversion Price”), subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events, the VWAP reset, and full-ratchet anti-dilution adjustments. Upon any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale) of common stock at a price per share below the then-effective Conversion Price (a “Dilutive Issuance”), the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price per share at which such common stock was issued or sold. Dilutive Issuance protections are subject to customary exceptions for exempt issuances, including issuances pursuant to equity incentive plans, upon exercise or conversion of securities outstanding at Closing, and in connection with mergers, acquisitions or strategic transactions (subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Certificate of Designation).

 

If on the twenty-first trading day following the date that is six months after the closing date, the VWAP (the “Measurement Price”) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Measurement Price and (ii) $5.00 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring after the date of the purchase agreement) (the “Floor Price”).

The Issuer shall provide a redemption notice to the redeeming holder not less than 15 days prior to the redemption date.

    (E) on or after the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing but prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary, at a price equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Accrued Value (which shall be payable in cash) and (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred been converted into common stock immediately prior to such redemption based on the then effective rate of conversion (which shall be payable, at the option of the Issuer, in cash or shares of common stock or a combination thereof, with the value of such shares of common stock being the closing price of such shares on the applicable date of redemption); and

If the Issuer does not effect a dissolution within 90 days after a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Requisite Holders may require the Issuer to redeem all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred for their liquidation preference amount from Available Proceeds (as defined in the Certificate of Designation).
     
    A Deemed Liquidation Event shall not include any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation.
