Quartzsea Amends Underwriting Terms for Deferred SPAC Commissions

Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation ( (QSEA) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On March 3, 2026, Quartzsea Acquisition Corporation amended its March 17, 2025 underwriting agreement with Polaris Advisory Partners, a division of Kingswood Capital Partners, and Kingswood Capital Partners itself to change how deferred underwriting commissions are calculated and paid. The revised terms set the deferred commission at 4.00% of gross proceeds from firm and option units, but cap the payout at 4.00% of the funds remaining in the SPAC’s trust account after shareholder redemptions tied to the initial business combination, while also allowing underwriters to waive these fees before the deal closes.

By linking the commission cap to post‑redemption trust balances, the amendment better aligns underwriter compensation with the actual cash available for Quartzsea’s future merger partner and existing shareholders. The added option for underwriters to waive the deferred fee provides additional flexibility in negotiating and closing the SPAC’s initial business combination, which could influence deal economics and investor outcomes.
