Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lionheart Holdings has called an extraordinary shareholder meeting on June 15, 2026 to vote on extending the deadline to complete its initial business combination through March 20, 2027. Holders of Class A shares issued in the IPO must submit redemption requests by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on June 11, 2026.

The company and its sponsor, Lionheart Sponsor, LLC, intend to enter into Non-Redemption Agreements with unaffiliated shareholders who agree not to redeem certain Class A shares. In return, the sponsor currently expects to transfer one Class B ordinary share for every five Non-Redeemed Shares after the business combination closes, if the extension is approved and those shares are not redeemed. The company notes these agreements are meant to help maintain more cash in the trust account and that there is no assurance any agreement will be finalized.

Insights

SPAC seeks more time and uses sponsor shares to limit redemptions.

Lionheart Holdings is asking shareholders to extend its merger deadline to March 20, 2027. To encourage investors to keep cash in the trust, the sponsor plans Non-Redemption Agreements, offering Class B founder shares for every Non-Redeemed Class A share.

The indicated ratio is roughly one Class B share for every five Non-Redeemed Shares, contingent on the extension’s approval and successful business combination closing. These arrangements do not change voting dynamics directly but may influence how many shareholders choose redemption versus staying invested.

Actual effects on trust funds and future dilution depend on how many investors sign Non-Redemption Agreements and on final terms. Forward-looking statements highlight risks around shareholder approval, sanctions, Venezuelan asset exposure, and financing, which remain key uncertainties for the business combination strategy.

Non-Redemption Agreement financial
"intend to enter into one or more Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of Economic Interests"
A non-redemption agreement is a contract in which a security holder agrees not to demand the issuer buy back or redeem their shares or debt for a specified period or under specified conditions. For investors, it matters because it locks up cash flow options — like agreeing not to cash out early — which can stabilize a company’s finances but also limits a holder’s ability to exit quickly, similar to signing a temporary hold on a savings account.
Extension Proposal financial
"to approve an extension of time for the Company to complete an initial business combination through March 20, 2027 (the “Extension Proposal”)"
trust account financial
"expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Meeting"
A trust account is a special bank or brokerage account where assets are held and managed by a designated person or firm (the trustee) for the benefit of another person or group (the beneficiary). It matters to investors because it separates assets from personal or corporate funds, can protect assets, control how and when money is used, and may affect tax or legal rights—think of it as a locked drawer opened only under agreed rules.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"may contain “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the safe harbor provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
initial business combination financial
"extension of time for the Company to complete an initial business combination through March 20, 2027"
An initial business combination is the deal in which a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merges with or acquires an operating business to bring that business onto public markets. Think of the SPAC as an empty shell that raises money from investors, then uses that cash to buy a private company—this transaction turns the private company into a public one and often changes its ownership, valuation, and access to capital, so investors should watch for shifts in risk, future growth prospects, and shareholder rights.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

As previously disclosed, Lionheart Holdings (the “Company”) has called an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to be held on June 15, 2026 (the “Meeting”) to approve an extension of time for the Company to complete an initial business combination through March 20, 2027 (the “Extension Proposal”).

 

In connection with the Meeting, the deadline for holders of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), issued in the Company’s IPO to submit their shares for redemption is 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 11, 2026.

 

In connection with the Meeting, the Company and Lionheart Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) have determined that they intend to enter into one or more Non-Redemption Agreement and Assignment of Economic Interests, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”), with one or more unaffiliated shareholders of the Company, pursuant to which such shareholders would agree not to redeem (or validly withdraw and rescind any redemption requests on) their Class A ordinary shares (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Meeting. In consideration for the foregoing commitment not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor anticipates agreeing to transfer and assign, or cause to be transferred and assigned, to such shareholders Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B ordinary shares”), held by the Sponsor and other holders (at a ratio to be negotiated between the parties but currently expected to be at or around one Class B ordinary share for every five Non-Redeemed Shares) promptly following the closing of the Company’s initial business combination if such shareholders do not exercise their redemption rights with respect to their Non-Redeemed Shares in connection with the Meeting and the Extension Proposal is approved and effected.

 

The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Proposal is approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Meeting but are expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Meeting, relative to the amount remaining in the trust account in the absence of the Non-Redemption Agreements.

 

NO ASSURANCES ARE MADE THAT A NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENT OF ANY KIND WILL BE AGREED UPON OR CONSUMMATED AND THE ACTUAL TERMS OF ANY NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENT MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

 

The foregoing description of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Important Information and Where to Find It

 

The Company has mailed to its shareholders of record as of May 15, 2026 a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) for the Meeting to approve the Extension Proposal. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy Statement, without charge, by directing a request to: Lionheart Holdings, 200 W Cypress Creek Road, Suite 500, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309. The Extension Proxy Statement can also be obtained, without charge, at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) website (www.sec.gov).

 

The Company urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read the Extension Proxy Statement, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because these documents do and will contain important information about the Company and the Extension Proposal.

 

In connection with any proposed business combination, the Company expects to file relevant materials with the SEC, which may include a proxy statement, registration statement, and other documents. Investors and security holders are urged to read all such documents carefully and in their entirety when they become available, because they will contain important information about the Company, any target, and any proposed transaction. When available, these documents may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website or from the Company.
