The company plans to announce a new meeting date and an extended redemption deadline in the coming days, and has filed a Schedule 14A supplement dated September 11, 2026.
Public shareholders may exercise or reverse redemption requests and change or revoke prior voting instructions by following the procedures in the definitive proxy statement and its supplement.

Columbus Acquisition Corp (COLA) is asking shareholders to approve a de‑SPAC business combination with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp (“Pubco”) and WISeSat.Space Corp, plus related charter changes, share plans and director elections. The transaction values the seller at $250 million plus Transaction Financing, divided by $10.00 per Pubco share, resulting in 26 million Pubco shares to seller shareholders, split between Ordinary and Class F shares.
The registration statement covers up to 31,385,052 Pubco Ordinary Shares for issuance in the Business Combination. A separate Nasdaq proposal seeks approval to issue up to 33,385,052 Pubco Ordinary Shares, including shares for the merger, share exchange and a $10 million PIPE at the CAC redemption price (illustrated at $10.66 per share, or 938,086 initial PIPE shares plus up to 1,061,914 additional shares). As of August 17 2026, CAC’s trust account held about $27.38 million, and public shareholders are estimated to be able to redeem at roughly $10.77 per share.
Post‑closing, Pubco will have dual‑class equity. Pubco Class F shares, held only by WISeKey and its subsidiary SEALSQ, carry voting rights sized so that Class F as a class controls 49.99% of total voting power. Assuming no redemptions, WISeKey is expected to own about 75% of Pubco shares (29% Ordinary, 46% Class F), leaving Pubco a Nasdaq “controlled company.” The sponsor and insiders will hold about 1,977,760 Pubco Ordinary Shares and have significant incentives to complete the deal, including founder shares originally bought for $25,000. CAC’s board obtained a fairness opinion from Newbridge Securities and unanimously recommends voting FOR all proposals; public shareholders retain redemption rights regardless of their vote.
