Columbus Acquisition Corp/Cayman Islands 8-K

What Happened

• Columbus Acquisition Corp (COLA), a Cayman Islands exempted company, filed an 8-K on January 28, 2026 reporting that it deposited $50,000 into its trust account on or about January 22, 2026.
• That deposit is the Monthly Extension Fee required under the company’s amended and restated charter and extended its deadline to complete an initial business combination from January 22, 2026 to February 22, 2026.

Key Details

• The company’s charter originally set the deadline to complete a business combination at January 22, 2026.
• A $50,000 Monthly Extension Fee was deposited into the Trust Account on or about January 22, 2026 to obtain a one-month extension.
• The charter permits successive one-month extensions up to January 22, 2027, each requiring a $50,000 deposit into the Trust Account.

Why It Matters

• The extension gives Columbus Acquisition additional time (through Feb 22, 2026) to identify and close an initial business combination, rather than liquidating or winding up by the prior deadline.
• The deposit was made into the Trust Account for public shareholders, preserving the funds that back public shares while the search for a target continues.
