Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

LaFayette Acquisition Corp. closed its initial public offering on October 27, 2025, selling 11,500,000 units at $10.00 per unit for $115 million in gross proceeds, including units from the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. A private placement of 380,000 units raised $3.8 million at the same time, and the full $115 million was placed in a trust account for public shareholders. The company has 21 months from the closing to complete a business combination, and the filing states there is no assurance it will do so.
