OceanLight SPAC signs $1.0 billion merger agreement with AIRE Inc. home textile company
OceanLight Acquisition Corp, a special purpose acquisition company listed on Nasdaq, entered into a merger agreement on September 28, 2026 with AIRE Inc., a Cayman Islands home textile and green sleep technology company. AIRE would become a wholly owned subsidiary of a new publicly traded holding company, with AIRE shareholders receiving shares valued at $1.0 billion. The deal is subject to shareholder approvals, an SEC-effective registration statement and Nasdaq listing approval, so completion is not assured.

- Either party may terminate if closing has not occurred by August 10, 2027; a $500,000 break-up fee applies in certain termination circumstances
- Closing requires approval by both OceanLight and AIRE shareholders, effectiveness of a Form F-4 registration statement and Nasdaq listing approval
