Insights
Shareholders approve EQV–Presidio merger with large cash redemptions.
EQV Ventures obtained shareholder approval for its business combination with Presidio Investment Holdings, plus domestication to Delaware, updated governing documents, stock issuance, and an incentive plan. These steps clear major procedural hurdles toward completing the de‑SPAC transaction expected on or about March 4, 2026.
Meeting participation was high, with Ordinary Shares representing about 82% of voting power present. All principal proposals passed, indicating sufficient support to proceed, while an adjournment proposal became unnecessary once approval thresholds were met.
Redemptions were significant: holders of 33,593,272 Class A ordinary shares elected cash redemption at roughly $10.64 per share, totaling about $357,332,573. The actual post‑closing capital structure and cash available will depend on these redemptions and any additional financing arrangements described in other transaction documents.

As there were sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Governing Documents Advisory Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to shareholders.
Holders of 27,640,312 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of EQV (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and 8,750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of EQV (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) held of record as of January 30, 2026, the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”), entitled to vote at the Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 82% of the voting power of the Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business. With respect to the Domestication Proposal, holders of Class B Ordinary Shares were entitled to ten votes for every Class B Ordinary Share owned, and holders of Class A Ordinary Shares were entitled to one vote for every Class A Ordinary Share owned, each as of the close of business on the Record Date. With respect to all other proposals submitted to a vote at the Meeting, each shareholder was entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share held of record as of the Record Date.

EQV had solicited proxies in favor of an Adjournment Proposal which would have given EQV authority to adjourn the Meeting to solicit additional proxies. As sufficient shares were voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Governing Documents Proposal, the Governing Documents Advisory Proposals, the Stock Issuance Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal, this proposal was not voted upon at the Meeting.
In connection with the vote to approve the aforementioned proposals, as of 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 27, 2026, the holders of 33,593,272 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (and did not withdraw their redemption) for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.64 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $357,332,573.
Based on the results of the Meeting, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination is expected to be consummated on March 4, 2026.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Based on the approval of the Domestication Proposal at the Meeting, on March 4, 2026, EQV will effect a deregistration under Article 181 of EQV’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Section 206 of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and a domestication under Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, pursuant to which EQV’s jurisdiction of incorporation will change from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). Effective upon the Domestication, EQV will change its name to “Presidio MidCo Inc.,” and following the consummation of the Business Combination, existing shareholders of EQV will hold shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Presidio rather than Class A Ordinary Shares.
Based on the results of the Meeting, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are expected to be consummated promptly.
On February 27, 2026, EQV issued a press release announcing, among other things, the results of the Meeting. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
