FST Corp ( (KBSX) ) has shared an announcement.

FST Corp., the post-SPAC parent of Femco Steel Technology Co., has disclosed further details of its financing arrangements surrounding its merger with Chenghe Acquisition I Co., under which Chenghe merged into a wholly owned FST Corp. subsidiary and was renamed FST Ltd. On December 27, 2024, the company and Femco Steel Technology entered into a prepaid share forward transaction with Harraden Circle Investors and Harraden Circle Special Opportunities covering up to 3 million Class A shares, with an initial price tied to the SPAC redemption price and a prepayment made at the close of the business combination; the investors also agreed to waive most redemption rights on these shares, supporting deal completion and post-merger float. On January 9, 2026, FST Corp. signed an amendment extending the valuation and maturity date of the share forward from 12 to 24 months after the business combination’s closing, effectively lengthening the life of this structured financing and potentially smoothing the company’s capital structure and share overhang over a longer post-merger period, while leaving all other terms in force.
