The latest announcement is out from Pyrophyte Acquisition ( (PHYTF) ).

On March 13, 2026, Pyrophyte Acquisition Corp. signed a fifth amendment to its business combination agreement with Sio Silica Corporation and related entities, extending the outside date for closing the Sio Business Combination from April 29, 2026, to April 29, 2027. The transaction structure calls for Pyrophyte to domesticate from the Cayman Islands to Alberta, amalgamate with Sio Silica’s Newco vehicle to form a new public company, and complete parallel amalgamations that leave Sio as a wholly owned subsidiary of the listed Pubco.

The extended deadline gives the parties additional time to secure shareholder approvals, complete regulatory processes, and finalize the planned listing of Pubco’s securities, mitigating the risk that Pyrophyte’s original SPAC timeline would lapse before closing. However, the companies caution that the deal remains subject to multiple contingencies, including potential legal or regulatory challenges, shareholder redemptions, and market or geopolitical factors that could delay or derail completion of the Sio Business Combination.
