The latest announcement is out from Legato Merger Corp. III ( (LEGT) ).

On May 5, 2026, Legato Merger Corp. III shareholders approved amendments to its governing documents to allow the board to extend the deadline to complete its planned business combination with Einride AB on a monthly basis for up to three months, potentially pushing the outside date to August 8, 2026. The extension is conditioned on Einride or a related party funding $0.03 per public share each month into Legato’s trust account, and the first such payment of about $506,748 has already been deposited.

In connection with the meeting, holders of 3,233,391 public shares opted to redeem for roughly $35.7 million, leaving 16,891,609 public shares outstanding and reducing the cash in trust ahead of the proposed merger. The approval of the extension, coupled with significant redemptions, underscores both investor caution and the company’s determination to keep the Einride transaction on track, with Legato continuing its efforts to consummate the business combination.
