Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Trailblazer Merger Corporation I disclosed new fee arrangements tied to its proposed business combination with Cyabra. The company amended its underwriting and advisory obligations, shifting several payments into stock and aligning others with the deal’s closing.

For deferred underwriting commissions under the 2023 agreement, the company will issue 103,500 PubCo shares to each underwriter in lieu of cash against a previously agreed $2,070,000 deferred commission. Separately, LifeSci waived its prior advisory fee equal to 1.5% of total consideration that was to be paid in equity interests.

New advisory mandates were signed: LifeSci will receive a retainer of Cyabra ordinary shares that will convert into 105,000 PubCo Shares at closing, plus an advisory fee of $1,050,000 paid in PubCo Shares 90 days after closing. Ladenburg will receive an advisory fee of $1,050,000, also paid in PubCo Shares 90 days after closing.

Insights

Equity-for-fees conserves cash but adds dilution; prior advisory fee waived offsets some new share-based obligations.

Trailblazer replaces cash obligations linked to its Cyabra business combination with equity. Deferred underwriting commissions of $2,070,000 will be settled in PubCo Shares, with each underwriter receiving 103,500 shares. A prior LifeSci advisory fee of 1.5% of total consideration (in equity) was waived. New advisory engagements shift compensation to PubCo Shares at and after closing.

Under the new LifeSci advisory agreement, a retainer in Cyabra ordinary shares will convert into 105,000 PubCo Shares upon closing on October 28, 2025, plus an advisory fee of $1,050,00 in PubCo Shares 90 days post‑closing. A Ladenburg agreement provides an advisory fee of $1,050,000, also in PubCo Shares, payable 90 days after closing. These structures reduce cash outflows around closing but increase post‑merger share issuance.

Key watch items: closing of the Business Combination (triggers conversion/issuance), the 90‑day post‑closing issuance timing, and aggregate PubCo Share issuance across all agreements. The LifeSci waiver reduces one equity burden, while new equity fees and equity-settled underwriting commissions may dilute holders after closing.
