If no business combination is completed by the applicable deadline, the company’s operations are to cease under the amended charter. The filing does not provide further management commentary, transaction guidance, or contingency amounts.
Investor Verification Items

- Verify the trust-account balance and the effect of the $0.05-per-share monthly contribution.
- Review the filed charter amendment and trust-agreement amendment for the precise extension and liquidation provisions.
- Confirm whether a business combination agreement was subsequently announced or completed before July 14, 2024.
- Confirm the correct issuer identity, because the provided filing names TradeUP Acquisition Corp., not Estrella Immunopharma, Inc.
