Business Context and Material Actions
Shareholders approved amendments extending the deadline to complete the company’s initial business combination from March 15, 2024 to June 17, 2025. The trust agreement was amended so that the trustee must begin liquidating the trust account upon the earlier of completion of the business combination or June 17, 2025.
Shareholders also eliminated the requirement that the company maintain at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets in connection with a business combination or share redemptions.

- Approximately 4,589,913 Class A ordinary shares remained outstanding after the redemptions.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- The company now has until June 17, 2025 to complete an initial business combination; otherwise, the trust account is subject to liquidation under the amended terms.
- The company remains a special purpose acquisition company and has not reported completion of a business combination in this filing.
- The removal of the NTA requirement may provide greater flexibility for a business combination and redemptions, but it also removes a stated asset-protection threshold.
- Share redemptions reduced the trust account and the number of outstanding Class A shares. The filing does not state the final trust-account balance beyond the company’s approximately $13.3 million expectation.
Facts Investors Should Verify
- Confirm that Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp., rather than Aleanna, Inc., is the intended registrant.
- Verify the June 17, 2025 business-combination deadline and corresponding trust-account liquidation date.
- Verify the final trust-account balance and share count after processing all redemptions.
- Review the filed amendments to the Articles and trust agreement, particularly the removal of the $5,000,001 NTA requirement.
- Assess whether the company identifies or completes a potential business combination before the extended deadline.
