Summary

• TLGY Acquisition Corporation (TLGY) reported a net loss of $22,167,803 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net income of $1,197,813 for the same period in 2024.

• Cash and investments held in the Trust Account decreased significantly to $6,210,376 as of September 30, 2025, from $44,332,605 as of December 31, 2024, due to substantial shareholder redemptions.
• Total liabilities surged to $34,342,439 as of September 30, 2025, from $5,769,339 as of December 31, 2024, driven by the increase in derivative warrant liabilities.

• Management has identified substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern if it cannot raise additional funds or complete the business combination by November 16, 2025 (or April 16, 2026).

Sentiment

Score: 2

Explanation: The sentiment is highly negative due to a substantial net loss, significant increase in liabilities, severe liquidity concerns, delisting from Nasdaq, and explicit 'going concern' doubt. While a business combination agreement is in place, the underlying financial health and operational challenges present a very high risk profile.

Positives

• The company has entered into a Business Combination Agreement with StablecoinX Assets Inc., providing a path to complete an initial business combination.
• Mizuho Securities USA LLC waived $8,650,000 in deferred underwriting fees, reducing a significant contingent liability.
• The company's cash balance outside the Trust Account increased to $347,921 as of September 30, 2025, from $3,769 as of December 31, 2024.

Negatives

• Reported a net loss of $27,193,664 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a significant deterioration from net income in the prior year.
• Experienced a substantial increase in derivative warrant liabilities to $27,311,400, which was the primary driver of the net loss.
• Cash and investments in the Trust Account decreased dramatically to $6,210,376 due to significant shareholder redemptions.
• The company has a working capital deficit of $5,750,659 as of September 30, 2025, indicating liquidity challenges.
• Delisted from Nasdaq on December 2, 2024, due to failure to complete a business combination within the required timeframe.
• The company's ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt, contingent on completing the business combination or raising additional funds.

Risks

• Substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern if it cannot raise additional funds or complete an initial business combination by November 16, 2025 (or April 16, 2026).
• The company's ability to consummate a Business Combination may be materially and adversely affected by global economic conditions, geopolitical events, international hostilities, public health crises, inflation, and central bank interest rate policies.
• The ability to raise equity and debt financing for the business combination may be impacted by increased market volatility or decreased market liquidity.
• There is no assurance that the company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
• The warrants will expire worthless if the company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
• The per share value of assets remaining for distribution might be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00) in the event of liquidation.

Future Outlook

The company's primary future outlook is centered on the successful consummation of its business combination with StablecoinX Assets Inc. by November 16, 2025, with a potential extension to April 16, 2026. Failure to complete this transaction or raise additional funds will lead to liquidation. The company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of this business combination and does not anticipate generating operating revenues until after its completion.

Management Comments

• Management has determined that if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs or complete an initial business combination by November 16, 2025 (or up to April 16, 2026), the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating.
• The working capital deficit, liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report.

Industry Context

TLGY Acquisition Corporation operates as a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC), a sector that has seen increased scrutiny and redemptions in recent years. The proposed business combination with StablecoinX Assets Inc. positions TLGY within the rapidly evolving and often volatile cryptocurrency and stablecoin industry. This industry is subject to significant regulatory uncertainty, technological risks, and market fluctuations. The delisting from Nasdaq and the high redemption rate reflect broader challenges faced by SPACs in completing timely and attractive business combinations, especially in niche or high-risk sectors like crypto.

Comparison to Industry Standards

• The significant shareholder redemptions (3,227,320 shares on April 15, 2025) are indicative of a trend seen across many SPACs, where public shareholders opt to redeem their shares rather than participate in the de-SPAC transaction, especially when market conditions are unfavorable or the target company's valuation is perceived as high.
• The delisting from Nasdaq due to failure to complete a business combination within the specified timeframe is a common outcome for SPACs that struggle to find or close a suitable target, highlighting the inherent time-bound risk of the SPAC structure.
• The substantial increase in derivative warrant liabilities and the resulting net loss are typical for SPACs that re-evaluate their warrants as liabilities, particularly when market conditions or the probability of a business combination change, leading to significant non-cash accounting adjustments.
• The reliance on sponsor loans for working capital and extension payments is a standard practice for SPACs nearing their deadline, but it also underscores the financial strain and limited independent capital resources of the shell company.

Legal Proceedings

• No legal proceedings were reported in the filing.

Related Party Transactions

• Current sponsors (CPC Sponsor Opportunities I, LP and CPC Sponsor Opportunities I (Parallel), LP) provided convertible promissory notes for working capital loans and time extension funding, totaling $3,347,359 outstanding as of September 30, 2025.
• On October 16, 2025, current sponsors provided $24,494 through promissory notes for a monthly extension payment.
• The former sponsor and current sponsors converted 5,344,700 Founder Shares from Class B to Class A ordinary shares on April 18, 2025.
• The CEO, Young Cho, and Edward Chen, managing member of the current sponsors, founded StablecoinX Assets Inc., the target for the business combination.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders: Significant redemptions have reduced the number of public shares and the trust account balance. Those who redeemed received cash, while remaining shareholders face substantial risk due to the going concern doubt and the speculative nature of the business combination. The delisting impacts liquidity and market visibility.
• Warrant Holders: Warrants are classified as liabilities and their value is highly volatile. Private Placement Warrants are to be forfeited for Earnout Shares, tying their value to the post-combination company's performance.
• Creditors: The company's working capital deficit and going concern doubt pose risks to creditors, although the former sponsor has agreed to be liable for certain claims reducing the trust account below a threshold.
• Management/Sponsors: The current sponsors have provided significant funding through promissory notes and are heavily invested in the success of the StablecoinX business combination, with potential Earnout Shares tied to performance thresholds.

Next Steps

• Complete the business combination with StablecoinX Assets Inc. by November 16, 2025, or by April 16, 2026, if further extended.
• Raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and support ongoing operations.
• File a registration statement covering the issuance of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of warrants and maintain a current prospectus until warrants expire or are redeemed.

Key Dates

Recommendation

The company faces severe financial distress, evidenced by a substantial net loss, a significant working capital deficit, and explicit 'going concern' doubt. The delisting from Nasdaq further diminishes liquidity and investor confidence. While a business combination with StablecoinX Assets Inc. has been announced, the high rate of redemptions, the speculative nature of the target industry (stablecoins/crypto), and the company's precarious financial position make this a highly risky investment. A seasoned investor would likely view the current situation as extremely unfavorable, warranting a strong sell recommendation to avoid further potential losses or to exit a highly speculative position.
