Business Context and Reporting Period
ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation (CHPG), a Cayman Islands exempted company and emerging growth company, filed this Form 8-K on September 18, 2026, reporting events occurring on September 11, 2026. The filing announces the entry into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with Futuremain Co., Ltd., a Korean company.
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Terms
This filing details a proposed merger rather than reporting standard operating financials (revenue, profit, cash flow) for a completed period. Key transaction metrics include:
- Aggregate Consideration: $80,000,000 payable to Holdco shareholders.
- Deemed Share Value: $10.00 per Pubco Share.
- Equity Incentive Plan: A pool of not less than 15% of the fully diluted capitalization of Pubco immediately following the Closing.
- Capital Structure: ChampionsGate units will separate into one Class A ordinary share and one right; every eight rights will convert into one Class A ordinary share prior to the SPAC Merger.
Material Changes and Transaction Structure
The primary material change is the execution of the Business Combination Agreement. The transaction structure involves:
- Initial Merger: Merger Sub I merges with Holdco (Futuremain's holding company), with Holdco surviving as a subsidiary of Pubco.
- SPAC Merger: Merger Sub II merges with ChampionsGate, with ChampionsGate surviving as a subsidiary of Pubco.
- Shareholder Exchange: Outstanding ChampionsGate ordinary shares and converted rights will be cancelled in exchange for one Pubco Share each.
- Board Composition: Post-closing, Pubco's board will consist of five directors: three designated by the Sponsor and two by Holdco.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Conditions
Conditions to Closing: The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including shareholder approval from both ChampionsGate and Futuremain, regulatory approvals (including Hart-Scott-Rodino), Nasdaq listing approval, and the absence of a Material Adverse Effect.
Termination Rights: The agreement may be terminated if not consummated by December 31, 2027 (subject to extension), if shareholder approval fails, or if a final order prohibits the combination.
Risks and Uncertainties: Management highlights risks regarding the ability to obtain required approvals, potential disruption to operations, failure to meet Nasdaq listing standards, and the possibility that actual future events may differ materially from forward-looking statements.
Outlook: The company intends to file a registration statement on Form F-4 containing a proxy statement/prospectus for shareholder voting. No financial guidance for the combined entity is provided in this filing.
