WinVest Acquisition Corp. is seeking approval to extend its Liquidation deadline from September 17, 2026, to October 17, 2026, with possible monthly extensions through March 17, 2027. Public stockholders may redeem Public Stock for approximately $15.16 per share from the Trust Account, while the materials say Redemption could exceed an open-market sale by approximately $2.61 per share.

Key Highlights

  • WinVest’s special stockholder meeting will take place virtually on September 15, 2026.
  • WinVest said it is in violation of Nasdaq IM-5101 after failing to complete a Business combination by the stated deadline.
  • The proposed charter amendment would move the termination date to October 17, 2026, with further monthly extensions potentially continuing through March 17, 2027.

The virtual special meeting is scheduled for September 15, 2026. Stockholders will vote on amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and Trust Agreement, along with a measure allowing the meeting to be adjourned if further proxy solicitation is needed.

Trust Account Redemption Set at Approximately $15.16

The proposed charter amendment would shift the termination date to October 17, 2026, with the Board able to approve further monthly extensions if requested by the Sponsor and subject to advance notice.

Public Stock holders could redeem all or part of their holdings if the extension is implemented. The materials put the redemption price at approximately $15.16 per share, based on approximately $3,122,654 held in the Trust Account as of August 25, 2026.

Redemption Terms Include Open-Market Comparison

The redemption price was expected to remain approximately the same two business days before the meeting, subject to interest earned by the Trust Account and amounts released for income or other tax obligations. The materials state that, if the Public Stock closing price remained unchanged through the meeting, redemption would provide approximately $2.61 more per share than an open-market sale.

WinVest also said stockholders may not be able to sell Public Stock in the market when they want to do so because trading Liquidity may be insufficient. The company stated that it is in violation of Nasdaq IM-5101 after failing to complete an initial business combination by the applicable deadline.
