The transaction remains subject to Quartzsea shareholder approval, effectiveness of the SEC registration statement, and Nasdaq listing approval.

Quartzsea Acquisition Corp. (QSEA) is asking shareholders to approve linked charter and trust amendments that would extend its deadline for an initial business combination from October 19, 2026, on a month-to-month basis for up to four one-month extensions, ending February 19, 2027, or earlier if the board sets an earlier date. Both amendments must be approved and implemented. For each extension month, the company would deposit the lesser of $100,000 or $0.033 per then-outstanding Public Share. A separate proposal would allow the meeting to be adjourned if votes are insufficient.
Amendment No. 2 corrects ownership, voting and redemption disclosures, including the Public Share count used for the redemption estimate. As of September 22, 2026, 7,004,618 Public Shares were outstanding for that calculation and $74,900,460.95 was held in trust; the estimated redemption price was approximately $10.69 per share, subject to change.
