Corporate Action: Acquisition

Type: New

Accession Number: 000110465925033548

Filing Summary: On April 9, 2025, TLGY Acquisition Corp. entered into a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with the Ethena Foundation to explore a potential corporate partnership aimed at acquiring a validator business for proof-of-stake services to the Ethena crypto ecosystem. The LOI outlines a proposed Business Combination where TLGY could purchase up to $100 million worth of native ENA tokens at a mutually agreed discount at the closing of the Business Combination. The funding for this purchase is expected to come from TLGY's trust account and a PIPE commitment from Ethena. There are also provisions for future discounted token sales participation for TLGY. TLGY's sponsors are willing to forfeit a majority of their founder shares in exchange for long-term performance-based earnout shares, tailored to reduce dilution for public shareholders. However, the LOI is non-binding and the agreement is contingent on satisfactory due diligence, board approvals, and regulatory clearances.
