Black Spade Acquisition III Co, a special purpose acquisition company listed on the NYSE, signed a business combination agreement with Astrum Space Inc, a satellite communications company developing a satellite-to-device broadcast network for Asia-Pacific. The deal would merge Astrum into the listed shell, which would be renamed Astrum Space Company, and the combined company is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. The deal values Astrum at about $1 billion in equity value, and shareholder redemptions could reduce the cash available from the trust account.
Astrum equity value is approximately $1 billion, excluding about $172.5 million of cash in BIII's trust account, assuming no redemptions.
Existing Astrum shareholders would hold over 80% of the combined company if no BIII shareholders redeem their shares for cash.
Astrum's founder has committed to provide up to $168 million in funding to the Astrum group under a letter of support dated August 21, 2026.
Closing is expected by the end of 2026 and requires NYSE listing approval, BIII shareholder approval and an effective Form F-4 registration statement.
