FG Merger II Corp. (NASDAQ: FGMC) announced that about 6.6 million shares were tendered for redemption ahead of a June 9 special meeting to vote on the company's proposed business combination with BOXABL. Following the redemption deadline, approximately $68.8 million is expected to be removed from FGMC's trust account, leaving about $14 million remaining and approximately 1.4 million public shares outstanding.
Stockholders who do not redeem their shares, or who withdraw redemption requests before closing, are expected to become shareholders of BOXABL upon completion of the transaction. If approved by stockholders and all remaining closing conditions are satisfied, the combined company is expected to be renamed BOXABL Inc. and begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker BXBL.
BOXABL is transforming the housing market with its modular building systems designed to deliver affordable, high-quality homes at unprecedented speed. Founded in 2017, BOXABL's innovative approach has attracted worldwide attention as it aims to solve housing challenges for individuals and communities alike. BOXABL's flagship product, the Casita, is a 361 square foot studio unit with a full kitchen, bathroom, and utilities. The Casita unfolds on-site in less than an hour and is manufactured inside BOXABL's facilities. BOXABL also has announced the Baby Box, a smaller 120 square foot unit built to RV code, intended for simpler, no foundation setups. BOXABL is also developing stackable and connectable box models that can be combined to form townhomes, multifamily units, or larger single-family homes.
FG Merger II Corp. is a blank check company, also commonly referred to as a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
The redemption results indicate significant shareholder interest in the cash option, leaving a smaller trust balance. The $14 million remaining, combined with the expected public float of 1.4 million shares, suggests a lean capital structure post-merger. For BOXABL, this transaction provides a pathway to public markets, potentially accelerating its mission to address housing affordability through rapid, modular construction.
