Constellation Acquisition Corp I draws $5,000 to extend merger deadline

Constellation Acquisition Corp I (OTC:CSTAF) has tapped into $5,000 from an unsecured promissory note to elongate the timeline for completing its merger, as disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. The board extension committee's approval on Thursday extended the deadline from September 29, 2026, to October 29, 2026.

This marks the eighth extension, out of up to eleven one-month extensions, permitted under the company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The $5,000, known as "Extension Funds," was placed in the company's trust account for public shareholders. The funds were accessed under the terms of a promissory note signed on January 30, 2024, between the company and Constellation Sponsor LP.

The note, which is unsecured, interest-free, and matures upon completing the initial business combination, will only be repaid from any remaining funds outside the company's trust account if the merger isn't finalized. Constellation Acquisition Corp I is a Cayman Islands-based blank check company, listed on the OTCID Basic Market under the symbols CSTAF, CSTWF, and CSTUF.

It is currently trading at $13.05 with a market capitalization of $101.74 million. The company has a WEAK financial health score, indicating short-term obligations surpass liquid assets, which could pose a challenge in completing the merger. Constellation Acquisition Corp I has also announced the resignations of its Chief Technology Officer, Graeme Shaw, and President, Richard C. Davis, effective immediately.

Despite their departure, Mr. Davis will remain a board member. The resignations, not stemming from operational disagreements, were part of the company's recent updates.
